Yesterday at work I managed to remain relatively cool, calm, and collected while someone (a male someone, of course) told me that Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is “frail.” Apparently he saw her in action recently (#jealous) and she was barely visible on the other side of the bench and her voice was very quiet.

In case you, too, are a soft-spoken, diminutive woman and you’re wondering whether you’ll amount to anything in this world full of big, loud men…allow me to draw your attention to a certain Supreme Court justice who can do 20 pushups.

I Wear Stuff and Do Things

You’ve been wanting to know everything I wore in February, haven’t you? I thought so. Let’s start with my 24-hour trip to Chicago for a work retreat. Above is what I wore for the day of the meeting (it says I’m fun but I mean business), and down there is what I wore for the night-before social event (aka lawyers drinking and telling nerdy jokes).

I got this sweatshirt because it’s crazy soft and it makes a statement that is pretty much always going to be true. Same with this one.

The day I wore this, someone told me I looked like a teacher, and another person told me I looked like Sarah Paulson. If there’s a movie where Sarah Paulson plays a teacher, I guess that was my subconscious inspiration.

The silver lining in the hole in the ozone is that I got to wear sunglasses and go on walks when it should’ve been a frozen tundra. (These shoes are crazy comfy, BTW.)

Who else is crazy happy about the special BaubleBar jewelry line for Target? One of everything, please.

February was a month of non-functional neck scarves one day and big cozy blanket scarves the next. I’m proposing a new tagline for the Hoosier state: “Welcome to Indiana. We don’t understand what’s happening here either.”

RIP, pastel sweater. You should’ve gone home with someone who won’t wash you with a bright red dress like an idiot.
