When: July 14 // Weather: Julyish // Real life: Janelle Monae concert

Soooo…here’s a subtle and understated top I got recently. It didn’t look quite so outrageous in the photos online, and once it came in the mail and I tried it on, I realized it was ridiculous, so naturally I kept it.

Luckily, I had plans to go to a Janelle Monáe concert, and this top looks like it should go with the pants in her Pynk video. Just slightly less, you know, anatomical.

Now I just need to find at least 2 more appropriate occasions to wear a shirt that looks like it belongs in an upscale circus so I can prove I made the right decision.

When: a few weeks ago // Weather: probably hot // Real life: work

It takes a certain type of person to wear these pants. And that is: the type of person who puts on these pants. I’m really not that special. Anyone can wear bold statement pants. We can all be the bold type.

Speaking of The Bold Type, does anyone else watch that show? The first episode is absolutely wretched, so don’t judge it on that. Keep watching and it gets really good. A lot of it is very romanticized (didn’t we all imagine bouncing into a cool job in NYC at the ripe age of 23? or was that just me?) but between all the inexplicably good hair and clothes are some actual thought-provoking conversations between smart young women about feminism, careers, and racial privilege. I recommend! Put on your favorite pink pants and give it a watch.
