Pro tip: the key to being fashionable is dressing so that one small section of your body is very cold. But it can’t be something obvious like your hands or face. No, it must be a random 3-inch section of your mid calf. Voila. FASHUN.

And speaking of French, this impossibly soft, fancy sweatshirt is from the sustainable brand Amour Vert. The name is en français, but it’s a U.S. company, so overseas shipping costs (yay). This is the only thing I’ve bought from Amour Vert, but so far I’m impressed. And as you know, I have very high standards when it comes to fashun.

I am still firmly in the “leggings do not equal pants” club, but I’m willing to make an exception for traveling. A 6-hour drive in jeans is not my idea of a good time.

Speaking of road trips, what ever happened to the good old days when ladies wore silk head scarves and statement sunglasses in fabulous convertibles? Romy and Michele know what I’m talking about. OK, so I don’t know if ladies actually did that in the real life or if it was just in the movies, but I don’t care. I’m bringing it back. I rarely drive more than 30 minutes at a time, so when faced with driving 6 hours from my in-laws after Christmas to spend New Years at the beach with my family, I took it as a fashion opportunity.

I mean, really, I treat nearly every day that I have to leave the house as a fashion opportunity, but the road trip was extra special. Despite the fact that my retro convertible was actually a rental Camry.
