last... I bought this pair of shoes. They were sub-sixty dollars and I have had my eye on them since... February? I wrote about them back then here. I wore the same style in a different colorway back in the fall of 2016 for engagement photos, during which my husband and I covered about three [...]

Sartorial Sustainability Sunday: Alex James: Slowing Down Fast Fashion
Alex James posits that the solution to the fast fashion epidemic is closer than we think.
Shopping Moratorium 2019 | 91/274
last... After last week's eBay indulgence (I ended up purchasing five vintage Lilly Pulitzer dresses, each one fitting perfectly), I had to take pause before I allowed myself to further indulge in last week's Brooks Brothers Private Sale. Despite the fact that I attempted to combat the need to shop like a madwoman by simply writing about what [...]
Sartorial Sustainability Sunday: Lela Orr of Project Runway, @designerlela
last week... Who else has been keeping up with the reboot of Project Runway on Bravo? I especially enjoy the addition of Christian Siriano and Karlie Kloss. The latter is easier to relate to than her predecessor; Heidi lost me circa 2009 when she stated that she found a little bit of an open back [...]
Shopping Moratorium 2019 | 84/281
last... Lately, I have been scouring eBay for vintage Lilly Pulitzer, Vineyard Vines, and Brooks Brothers. While I love the products the these brands release brand spanking new, shopping the secondary market is the best way to set yourself apart from every other blogger out there who is wearing the latest and greatest in each [...]

Sartorial Sustainability Sunday: Michelle Valtas, @Mvaltas
last Sartorial Sustainability Sunday... This week I am excited to introduce Michelle Valtas. I initially connected with Michelle when I discovered her tweets about paring down. I am always impressed with anyone who pursues a more minimal lifestyle. In the effort of wanting to clear out my own clutter, I wanted to chat with someone [...]
Shopping Moratorium 2019 | 76/288
last week... My husband and I are on the third day of our eight day cross country road trip and I am currently en route from Asheville to Little Rock today. Believe me when I say that between packing for the next few months, sorting boxes into short term and long term storage, and planning [...]
Sartorial Sustainability Sunday: Hitting a Trifecta II
last week... As committed last month, I hit another trifecta. I wore the tennis sweater three times, three ways, over the course of the last quarter on the blog. Three pairs of shoes, three skirts, three sets of jewelry, and...the same pair of sunglasses. Give me a break. Wayfarers are classic. It was an item I [...]
Shopping Moratorium 2019 | 69/295
last... The impending cross country move has been motivation enough not to go shopping, be it online or brick-and-mortar. There has been no shopping for me for the past two weeks, thank you very much! Also, I closed my J.Crew, Banana Republic, and Victoria's Secret store credit cards. While I was able to score clothing [...]
Sartorial Sustainability Sunday: Attempting a (Temporary) Downsize
last... In yesterday's post, I shared my husband's and my big news regarding our move across the country. In a week's time, we will be on the road between Virginia and North Carolina, far away from the bed in which I am typing right now and far away from Philadelphia. We already started saying my [...]
