Fashion Blogging Would Have Ruined This Vacation

Parting ways with my former job hurt…a lot. But it was also freeing. Without realizing it I had slowly lost my identity in the form of this monetized self who I wasn’t entirely comfortable being. (For legal reasons I am not not badmouthing any one company, this is mostly on me and my type-A approachContinue reading “Fashion Blogging Would Have Ruined This Vacation”

Outfits For Europe in the Winter // Dipping My Toe Back Into Fashion Blogging My Way

“Perhaps you can be a blogger who occasionally writes about fashion. I loved your segments on that blog bc they were relatable to me as someone who enjoys fashion but is a bit awkward.” Oh awkward is my middle name. (Well actually it’s Mayforth, also kind of awkward). But her sentiment stuck with me althoughContinue reading “Outfits For Europe in the Winter // Dipping My Toe Back Into Fashion Blogging My Way”

Stupid Pants Season

If I told you I got a job because of a pair of sweatpants would you believe me? It’s finally “stupid pants” weather (ie: fleece-lined sweatpants) and I can’t take these out without thinking back to 2 years ago when I first tried on these sweatpants and decided to make a post about them inContinue reading “Stupid Pants Season”

Fashion Blogging, Imposter Syndrome and Body Image Issues

Trigger warning: This post discusses mental illness and body image issues. This is a dressy outfit for me. I spend approximately 98.8% of my day in varying stages of questionable athleisure. Very often in the shirt I slept in last night, tucked in to my skort to give the appearance of an intentional, thought-out outfit.Continue reading “Fashion Blogging, Imposter Syndrome and Body Image Issues”

It’s (Not) About the Jean Jacket

I’ve spent the past 24 hours absolutely frozen with indecision…over which jean jacket to keep. Yes, I am hyper-focused on two jean jackets – one light wash, one dark wash – that I recently purchased. I don’t know which one to keep. I’ve held polls, focus groups (ok it was my brother’s girlfriend and myContinue reading “It’s (Not) About the Jean Jacket”

The Time is Now, The Day is Here

Yes, that’s a Les Mis quote in my title. If any day was created for some dramatics it’s today. It’s sort of surreal that today is here. I remember 4 years ago, living in Tampa, beside myself with confusion and grief compounded by a move to “red” Texas 4 months later where I didn’t knowContinue reading “The Time is Now, The Day is Here”

Home For the (Pandemic) Holidays

Instead of bombarding your inboxes with 3 individual posts, here’s my holiday/birthday look rewind. Birthday Look Being a near-Christmas baby is rad. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. It’s a week of partying and you get to pretend people are jolly and put out lights in your honor (just me?) To celebrate my 33 revolutionsContinue reading “Home For the (Pandemic) Holidays”

What I Wore When My Video Went Viral

I’ve worked in social media for years. Like, “before it was a college minor” number of years. Like “you’re 22 you know the facepage stuff!” years. The question I repeatedly get from new clients is, “How do we go viral?” Did I say I was a magician? Listen, there are ways to play the algorithms,Continue reading “What I Wore When My Video Went Viral”

What I Wore: Hanukkah Edition

If you read my previous blog, you know that we’re celebrating “Hanukkah light” this year for the first time ever (and, if not, now you know!) I’ve basically been living in sweats and my husband’s deodorant all week (hey at least I remembered to apply!). Autoimmune disease flare ups + protocol to kill off overgrowthContinue reading “What I Wore: Hanukkah Edition”
