Polly-O String Cheese!
Item: Tank Color/Fabric: Salmon, cotton/spandex Designer: Viola Where Purchased: Anthropologie Years owned: 2+ Tonight is a strange night. Indeed, strange.

The LBD, Part Two.
Item: Little Black Dress Color/Fabric: Black (duh) and fabric, unknown Designer: Kenneth Cole Where Purchased: kennethcole.com Years Owned: 2 Today I started to see a little glimmer of my old self, my not sad and angsty self.

Onward and Upward!
Item: Blouse Color/Fabric: Butter, cotton Designer: Free People Where Purchased: TJ Maxx Years Owned: 4 Oh, I hate so much that I’ve been away! But I am so glad to be back.

Item: Jacket Color/Fabric: White, cotton Designer: Cino Where Purchased: Next Boutique Years Owned: 3 Well, this is it. The final installment in my brief outerwear diversion.

Stop. Change!
Item: Coat Color/Fabric: Tan, suede Designer: ?? Where Purchased: A Thrift store, unknown Years Owned: At least 10 I feel like my brain has turned off.

The Show Stealer.
Item: Coat Color/Fabric: Spring Green, cotton Designer: Express Years Owned: 6 Tonight I am contemplating something to remind me that, eventually, it will be spring.

While You Debate Half-Empty Or Half-Full…
Item: Cropped Pea-Coat Color/Fabric: Plum, wool Designer: Bitten By Sarah Jessica Parker Where Purchased: Steve and Barry’s Years Owned: 2.5 Uuuugggghhhhhhh. I had to let that out. At this point saying that I am sick of snow is like saying that I enjoy breathing. We’re all in the same boat, so there’s really not a …
The Final Reckoning (For A bit, At Least)!
Ah. A crazy week! It’s been an emotional roller coaster. Many great things, many awful things. And I still feel a little nauseous. I hate that I was only able to write about three pieces this week. I really attempted to write every night, but many times I was just unable. The positive side is …
Win Some, Lose Some.
Item: Jacket Color/Fabric: White, wool Designer: Lux Where Purchased: Urban Outfitters Years Owned: Fourish Here is a little jacket that truly isn’t very practical. I suppose that it’s nice in the fall or spring, when it’s not too cold. It’s wool, so it is a little on the warm side. It’s just so darn itty …
