Do you ever randomly recollect great childhood memories that you hadn’t thought about for decades? Tonight I had macaroni & cheese and green beans, and I suddenly remembered one of my favorite books as a kid, Suppertime for Frieda Fuzzypaws. It’s about a kitten who wants a cookie, and her parents say she has to finish her dinner first. But she hates green beans so she tries to hide them under her macaroni. So her dad draws a cookie for her, and Frieda’s like “f*ck you, pops” (but, you know, the PG version of that).

Suffice it to say, as a child I identified on many levels with little Frieda Fuzzypaws. I do like vegetables now, but to be honest, they’re still just a necessary precursor to dessert. 🙂

Long skirts with boots are my new jam. It’s genius really – your legs are totally hidden so you can have all the layers you want underneath (or none).

My other new jam, as you know, is being a more conscious consumer. So let me tell you what’s sustainable, eco-friendly, etc., about this outfit: The sweater is from Everlane, one of my favorite affordable sustainable brands. The sunglasses I bought second-hand on Poshmark. The boots I’ve had for several years and as long as I treat them well, they should last many more. The skirt is new and fast-fashion, BUT it is wearable year-round and it should hold up well over time. See, I’m doing the things, and it’s not that hard! YAY. Go me. *pats self on back*
