Guess what we did last Saturday?! Went HOUSE HUNTING! Guess what we’re doing this Saturday? MORE house hunting!! Turns out it’s not simple. But it is pretty fun. And stressful sometimes. Like maybe you see an awesome house that’s been just chillin’ on the market for a month, imagine yourself living there, then go sleep on it, and by Monday morning there are somehow multiple offers on it and you have to decide if you want to make an enormous life change in a matter of hours. And then when you decide not to make said enormous life change, you relax and start looking again, only to have the same thing happen again 3 days later. You know…for example.

Let’s talk about something less life-altering, shall we? How about this outfit? I laughed a little at myself for looking so Coachella-rific in this getup. But then I decided it was ironically appropriate to dress like a carefree kid while shopping for real estate.

Wish me luck this weekend!

Well guys, I can phone it in for the next 2 weeks because this is probably the best I will look this year. My office holiday party was black tie (lawyers…so pretentious, right?) so I took full advantage of the opportunity to look fancy. I knew at a formal event – especially one full of attorneys – there would be a lot of long black dresses, so in an effort to stand out, I went for a short white one. I know a little white dress is usually more of a warm weather thing, but the texture of this one kind of reminded me of a snowflake, and I decided to add Santa-red shoes and lips. In other words, if you thought this was a summer dress…what the hell were you thinking?

I felt like a celebrity on an award show red carpet in this, so in that spirit I feel like I should give some credit to the people who helped me look so good: my wife for taking really great photos, my friend and stylist Brandy for giving me this braid crown, Rent the Runway for existing so I could rent a dress I can’t afford to buy, and Pure Barre for helping me get in great shape over the past 4 months! And my mom. Because you always have to thank your mom.
