I’m fully aware this sweater is not flattering on me. It doesn’t look bad, but it definitely doesn’t cast my bod in the best possible light either. But I don’t care. It’s chunky and comfy and soft and I like the color. You know how they say you have to learn the rules of something before you can break them? I’m pretty sure I have a handle on the rules of dressing at this point, so this is me breaking them. The Mauve Rebellion: you heard it here first.

They make pumpkin spice everything else these days, so why not pumpkin spice pants? (Ann Taylor doesn’t actually call them that, but I think they should.) I wore this during last week’s spell of Indian Summer – it was too warm for sweaters and scarves, so I had to channel those autumnal November vibes some other way. Challenge accepted.

Fun fact: this t-shirt is actually a few inches longer than it looks here, but it looked sloppy (and unflattering) with these pants for work so I folded it under and held it in place with safety pins. OK, so it’s not that fun, but it is a fact.

Here’s something that really is fun: I will be performing in Cultivate, an emerging choreographers showcase this weekend. If you’re in the Indianapolis area and you’re a fan of modern dance (or just dance-curious), please come check it out. Tickets are available here. This show couldn’t come at a better time – there’s nothing like art and beauty to reassure us that good things are still possible. Not that anyone’s been questioning that recently but…you know…a reminder never hurts.
