When capri pants first started being a thing, circa 1998, I remember thinking I couldn’t wear them because I am too short. I had read some magazine that said anyone under 5’5″ should avoid them, because the length visually cuts you off mid-calf. I eventually got some anyway, of course, and they were fine. I am short, […]
Sometimes, when your hair is Barbie blonde, you need to just put on some Barbie pink and go with it. I got this blush and gold headband thingy from ban.do not too long ago and immediately became obsessed with it. I also have been using the Lilly Pulitzer for Target bag I scored (by stalking […]
Please don’t hate me when you see my short sleeves and cotton cardigan in these pictures. I can’t help it that the weather in southern California is generally delightful. It has actually been kind of chilly and rainy, but it clearly wasn’t when I wore this outfit. This particular day, I had a work meeting, […]

Growing up in Phoenix, it was normal for the weather to be warm — like, shorts and tank tops warm — until about Halloween. And Georgia and South Carolina don’t exactly get freezing cold at the end of September, either. But it’s still a little weird for me to see other bloggers posting autumnal outfits […]
