So, I mentioned the intent to de-bum during this pandemic. It’s become a bit easier these past few days because I’ve been forced to actually get dressed and look decent for video meetings at work. All that said, largely being comfortable while working from home hasn’t stopped me from perusing Pinterest and pinning outfit inspo. …
In Review…2019 Style
My tried-and-true chicelegant (spell check nearly imploded with this nonexistent word, but whatevs) aesthetic didn't change much in 2019. Here are some of my favorite looks from this year, with a bit of commentary. When it comes to jeans and pants, I'm your typical pull-your-pants-up-every-ten-seconds kind of gal, because I tend to pull sizes a …
i didn’t look pregnant!
Party people: I rarely wear jumpsuits. Because when I do wear them, I look with child. And since I'm not with child and haven't ever been with child, you can imagine me wanting to avoid appearing that way when it comes to my personal style. Nevertheless, while at Ross a week or so ago, I …
Elegant? Why, Thank You. (Fabu Fashion TBT)
Hey, y'all. On Monday of this week, I wore a pencil skirt that I snagged from Nordstrom Rack (they built one by my house, so I officially bid all my money goodbye) and a peplum top that I've had for a million years. (Last Monday; therein lies the tbt.) I didn't even think about it. …

because your Mother is always right.
So my mother hasn't dressed me since I was a teenager, but deep down in her heart, I know she wants to. I would classify my personal style as modern, unfussy, feminine, subtly chic. In other words, I like to look lovely but I'm the lady who won't overwhelm the room with my fashion choices. …
Fabu Fashion #5: Casual Friyay Redux (And a Silent Video)
We've come to the end of our Fabu Fashion Week. After these few days of showing you what I'm wearing, I trust that you've come to realize that: I'm basically a simple gal when it comes to fashion. (Perhaps if I lived in my Parisian apartment and was married to you-know-who during the week, you …

Fabu Fashion #4: The Mod Squad
I'm a sucker for 60s-type mod dresses. I've had this dress for a while and will hold on to it until the seams fall out. It's comfortable enough for these hot, spring-is-now-hijacked-by-summer days that we're experiencing in the Northeast area. I paired it with my mom's shiny flats (she shouldn't leave shiny things around with me …
Fabu Fashion #3: A Bit of Coral
Warning: I had to snap today's episode of Fabu Fashion in the Villainous Lair of Dark Doom; a.k.a., the ladies room with the terrible lighting. Enter if you dare. I need to tell you how much I love this dress. Ah, I love it. The color, the simplicity, the loveliness. At this point, I'm sure you know where …
Fabu Fashion #2: When Tuesday Feels like Monday
Hi, there. Hope you enjoyed the long weekend. I did, which is why today feels a lot like Manic Monday instead of Tuesday. Le sigh. Shall we cut to the chase before I start droning on about why certain days have a "feel"? This faux wrap dress is tried and true. Simple, light, animal print, perfect. (Did I …

Fabu Fashion #1: Casual Friyay
The "yay" is intentional. I'm just happy it's the end of the week. *exhale* I decided to start the Fabu Fashion week feature today, since I had my iPhone with me in my usual studio (the ladies room) and decided to snap a few photos. Warning: you'll be seeing a lot of this studio in the …
