Six Squares

This is one of my most popular posts on Instagram. I don’t know if it’s the boots or the fact that I revealed my questionable decorating skills.

I managed to find 4 pairs of pants at Ann Taylor last month so I bought all of them, including these. A woman just can’t squander that kind of luck.

An “off-duty” look, aka what I wear when I’m going out for dinner and I just can’t stand to wear my work clothes any longer.

essie gel polish review

You might have heard buzz about these new gel polishes that you use at home (not the fancy gel nail process you get at a salon). I tried Essie’s version and was really impressed with my first use (this color is “Pinned Up“). The photo above was taken on day 10! It lasted 3 more days before I got a noticeable chip.

…So I tried another color (“Model Chicks“), but my luck was not as great with this one. It started looking messy after about a week. But it could just be that flaws are more noticeable with a darker color. Still – I recommend the Essie gel polishes!

One more from the archives. I wore this in early October before my fall fashion fever kicked in to high gear. I was just starting to ease in with small doses of (faux) leather.

They make pumpkin spice everything else these days, so why not pumpkin spice pants? (Ann Taylor doesn’t actually call them that, but I think they should.) I wore this during last week’s spell of Indian Summer – it was too warm for sweaters and scarves, so I had to channel those autumnal November vibes some other way. Challenge accepted.

Fun fact: this t-shirt is actually a few inches longer than it looks here, but it looked sloppy (and unflattering) with these pants for work so I folded it under and held it in place with safety pins. OK, so it’s not that fun, but it is a fact.

Here’s something that really is fun: I will be performing in Cultivate, an emerging choreographers showcase this weekend. If you’re in the Indianapolis area and you’re a fan of modern dance (or just dance-curious), please come check it out. Tickets are available here. This show couldn’t come at a better time – there’s nothing like art and beauty to reassure us that good things are still possible. Not that anyone’s been questioning that recently but…you know…a reminder never hurts.
