One of the unexpected perks of working from home is that I’ve come up with comfier and more fun outfits that I might not have worn otherwise. Some days I just stick to loungewear, and other days I wear “real” clothes but with less concern for whether my outfit is professional enough or flattering enough. Sometimes I make up “characters” to go with my OOTD, like old Hollywood actress in a hippie commune, or French It Girl riding out a scandal in the Midwest.

What character is this? Glad you asked. This is Ronald McDonald’s sister, Ronda McDonda, who abandoned the family business to open her own chain of farm to table vegetarian restaurants. She didn’t make as much money, but she did wear a lot of loose-fitting blouses and maxi skirts. And that’s the true measure of success.

One of my quarantine hobbies has been finding new sustainable/ethical brands to order clothes from…you know, for research purposes. It’s an expensive hobby, I’ll give you that, but a fun one. 😉 And I get to share the best stuff with you, like these fun, flowy, floral (that’s right, it’s a triple F situation here, people) pants from Marine Layer. I may have also gotten the matching top. Possibly.

I actually heard about Marine Layer thanks to my wife, who got me one of their Re-Spun t-shirts for Christmas. Basically, they take old t-shirts, break them down, and turn them into new ones. Pretty cool. These pants aren’t from the Re-Spun line, but I read about ML’s sustainability efforts and I’m happy with the extra efforts they’re making. At this point, when I’m deciding whether to support a brand, it’s about progress, not perfection. And it’s about the triple F, of course.
