Random things I am into lately

Hi friends! How about a good old-fashioned recommendation round up this week? I’m trying out some beauty products, dinner recipes, podcasts, and books I’m very into, and I’d love your suggestions, too!

The answer is leather pants

I found a pair of leather pants at the vintage market last month and have been surprised by their versatility. But figuring out how to style leather pants casually can be a bit intimidating. So, here are the outfits I’ve put together so far, plus a few new pairs of women’s faux leather pants I like!

My go-to comfy work from home clothes: Leze the Label review

A review of Leze is definitely a long time coming here–because I wear their lounge workwear pretty much every day when I work from home (and before work, and after work). Finding comfy work clothes is definitely a holy grail, so here I’ll review my favorite of their pants and sweatshirts, plus info about sizing! I also have a discount code for you!

What I wore: February

Need some winter teaching outfit ideas? I don’t have many, it turns out, but here’s what I wore this month as a professor!

Wearing my whole closet: Week 1

Hello for the first time in 2023! This month I am in a challenge over on Instagram to wear as much of our closets as we can in January. You know how you pick the same 5-10 items out over and over again? Especially when the weather is kinda dreary? We are trying to reach for more items and build more creative outfits to start the year. Here’s what I wore this week!

2022 recap: My year of taking fashion seriously, trying to buy more fun, and being told my style sucked

As I wrote early in 2022, my style resolution for the year was to have a bit more fun with my closet and stop buying only neutrals. But my style goal kind of took on a life of its own and what I really ended up doing was seeking out and learning a lot more about the fashion/trend industry this year. Here, I share some concluding thoughts for 2022, along with my favorite outfits of the year!

Review of the Allbirds Pipers

I have been testing out Allbirds cutest casual shoe, the piper, for a couple weeks now. I think they’re a perfect chill white sneaker that goes with dresses and can dress down my business clothes as well. Here, I talk sizing, review their comfort & support level, and how they compare to other Allbirds favorites–the tree dashers and runners! Plus, I have a coupon code for you if you want to add a treat to your order!

A search for festive, flat holiday shoes

I posted to Instagram this week asking for help finding a shoe I can wear to holiday parties. My requirements are pretty annoying: I don’t like to wear heels, but I still want something shiny or sparkly that feels festive. Thankfully, you all delivered on great suggestions, so I thought I would round them up here for anyone else looking!
