Life plan: Work until I pay off my law school loans (approx. 1000 years from now), retire to Paris, be a fabulous expat eating croissants and producing mediocre watercolors until I run out of money, then become a crazy old lady who lives in a teepee made from her own clothes and feeds animals in le parc.

Basically I will be the bird lady from Mary Poppins. And this is what I will wear. (Dress for the job you want.)

P.S. Ever notice that white people who move to another country are “expats” and non-white people are “immigrants”? How convenient. Looking forward to positive change in the next 4 years.

One of my quarantine hobbies has been finding new sustainable/ethical brands to order clothes from…you know, for research purposes. It’s an expensive hobby, I’ll give you that, but a fun one. 😉 And I get to share the best stuff with you, like these fun, flowy, floral (that’s right, it’s a triple F situation here, people) pants from Marine Layer. I may have also gotten the matching top. Possibly.

I actually heard about Marine Layer thanks to my wife, who got me one of their Re-Spun t-shirts for Christmas. Basically, they take old t-shirts, break them down, and turn them into new ones. Pretty cool. These pants aren’t from the Re-Spun line, but I read about ML’s sustainability efforts and I’m happy with the extra efforts they’re making. At this point, when I’m deciding whether to support a brand, it’s about progress, not perfection. And it’s about the triple F, of course.
