I had been thinking I didn’t have any outfit photos to post, because of the move and working from home. But I had forgotten about the day of Toby’s change of command ceremony. I’m sorta squinty, but Toby looks super cute, of course. Marines have the best uniforms. After the ceremony, we went over to […]
I’m not big on coffee (unless it’s mixed with a lot of sugar and milk), but I have been drinking tea since I was a little girl. And, like other “Alice in Wonderland” fans, anglophiles and little girls at heart, I love a good tea party. So, when my friend Kelly asked if I wanted […]
I’m sorry I haven’t done Fab Fave Friday for a while, but, in keeping with my Fourth of July theme, I thought I’d share some of the red, white and blue items I’m coveting for summer! Clockwise(ish) from the top left: Polka-dot dress: Anthropologie. How cute is that little cutout in the front? Blue suede shoes: […]
I have a navy-and-white stripes problem. It’s major. My friend Joan apparently has the same problem. But the best thing about it? When we were shopping and she told me that she can’t stop buying navy-and-white striped shirts… I was holding a navy-and-white-striped shirt. Obviously. Anyway. I meant to buy a navy-and-white-striped cotton jacket at […]
As our trek across the country continues, I wanted to share an outfit I wore on a rainy day in DC just before we left. I actually used to hate polka dots — they made me itchy for a year or so after a childhood bout with chicken pox — but I got over it, […]
I am not a suit girl. I always had an interview suit or two, of course, but I usually felt like I was playing dress-up when I wore it. And most of the places I’ve worked have been pretty casual. But the Maryland statehouse, Capitol Hill and the Pentagon aren’t really jeans-and-a-T-shirt kinds of places, […]
Sometimes, you just need some animal print in your life. And sometimes you wear more animal print than is totally necessary because your beige heels are in the back of your husband’s car, which is 30 minutes away. Or maybe that’s just me. I got this jacket a few years ago at LOFT, and it […]
I love bows — whether they’re functional or not. And sometimes, I tend to go a bit overboard. Take this outfit, for instance. The dress is printed with bows, the bag has a bow-like situation on it and the shoes are held on with bows. I call those my tweed tap shoes. A former boss […]
Sunday was our sixth wedding anniversary. We’ve done a lot since then — both of us have gone to Afghanistan (although Toby was there for almost a year, and I was just there two weeks), we’ve gotten master’s degrees (and Toby’s about to get his second), we’ve moved twice and are getting ready to move […]
Somehow, the weather in D.C. has gone straight from chilly and icky to humid and icky. These photos were obviously taken before it got really warm. A long-sleeved dress, tights, boots and a jacket aren’t really working right now. But I was originally supposed to be on TV that day, for work, so I wanted […]
