Kristin and I went to the zoo a couple weeks ago (an outing! I know!) and you know what the main attraction was? Tigers? Dolphins? Nope, it was us and our outfits. (See the hers & hers looks here.) Every time we turned a corner, someone else wanted to tell us how cute we both looked. Now we know what it’s like for Beyonce and Jay Z when they just want to go about life but fans won’t leave them alone. It’s so hard.

After more than a year of working from home, I’ve learned that I really do enjoy dressing for myself, but if I’m being totally honest…I did not hate being showered with compliments. 🙂

When: January 15, 2021 // Weather: cold // Real life: working from home then a Target run

I’d bet that lots of girls like me who grew up obsessed with all things fashion share some things in common: we had only 1 or 2 Barbies but many many outfits for her; we watched Clueless 1000 times (or another stylish movie depending on our age); and as we got older we started lusting after a particular designer’s handbags.

For me, that designer was Balenciaga. I probably saw one in a copy of Vogue in college or something, but to me they seemed kind of punk rock and classic at the same time (in other words, perfect). I even bought a fake one on Canal Street many years ago (which as a trademark attorney I’m now ashamed to admit!).

Anyway, a couple months ago I thought to myself “I can finally afford my ‘dream bag’ so what am I waiting for?!” I decided I had earned a reward for surviving 2020, as we all do. So in keeping with my sustainability goals, I found the perfect gently used Balenciaga bag on The RealReal and made her mine. So far she’s only been to Target and FedEx (thanks, pandemic) but I’m optimistic she’ll see more of the world one day soon.
