Exceptions to the Rule

At some point in the last couple years (I honestly cannot pin down a date), I made the decision to only buy clothes that were second hand or ethically produced. I knew this would drastically cut down on the number of brand new clothes I bought, simply because I don't have room in my budget to spend a ton of money on clothes. It has been a really positive experience for me and I'm glad to have made...

Wearing Lately 2 - Take the Time

After not taking (or at least not posting) outfit photos for all of August, I am renewing my effort to take a few moments everyday to myself and take a couple shots. This summer has been busier than intended, which has taken a toll on my energy level. As the play I've been working on is about to open, I see the light at the end of the tunnel and that's making me renew my effort to take a few moments...

The Great Outdoors

I've lived nearly my whole life in rural Vermont, surrounded by trees and grass and freshly manured fields. I love all of it and until about a year and a half ago, I always lived somewhere with accompanying outdoor space. Last Spring, I moved into my current apartment, which I love wholeheartedly. It doesn't, however, have any accompanying outdoor space (unless you count the parking lot where my neighbors...

Summer 10x10

I was scrolling through instagram two weeks ago and saw a post by Lee of Style Bee reminding all that the Summer 10x10 would be coming up. Since I've felt less than successful after the last couple 10x10's and didn't think I was going to participate, I didn't pay too much attention to the details and kept scrolling. Then on the weekend, I happened to have some time on my hands and was playing with...

Wearing Lately #1

Despite my very best intentions, I have not been able to keep up with a regular posting schedule. I would love to, but I'm gonna cut myself some slack, knowing that life is busy and this is a hobby. I was able to snap a few outfit shots over the last few weeks that I wanted to share. I managed to find a few good spots to shoot and am getting more comfortable in front of the camera :)   Outfit...

Blog/Social Media Goals and Intentions

  I started this blog a few months ago with intentions of regular updates. That plan, however, got foiled by the nearly endless winter we had in Vermont. Now that we have longer days and the ice storms are (hopefully) behind us, I want to take this hobby a little more seriously. The following are my goals for this blog and for my social media (which basically just means instagram). Photos More...

Outfits of the Week #1

    While I only managed to capture a few outfits this week, I'm glad I got my butt in gear and made this pictures happen.  Wednesday Details: Ken's shirt, thrifted pants and belt, old Forever 21 boots On Wednesday I had a grant interview (oh the non-profit life), so I wanted to look a bit put together. I saw this shirt of Ken's on our bedroom floor while I was getting...
