Worker V: 1.7 (Just throw on a jacket.)

There is no doubt about it, spring is finally here. So over the weekend, I picked up some deliciously wide-legged linen pants to wear with my warm-weather staple, the tank top. Since I’ve been reluctant to buy any more trousers for work, I thought this pair could do double duty for work and play if [...]

WVW: Chevron*

I’m wearing yoga pants. There. The secret is out. I’ll tell you another secret: I’m wearing yoga pants, but I didn’t go to yoga (and I miss it so!). And one more secret, for good measure: It is very possible to wear not a tailored stitch, look chic, and feel über-comfy. ‘Tis the season for [...]

WVW: Bermudas for a BBQ*

Yesterday was a gorgeous, 65-70 degree day in my world, and I was invited to a birthday barbeque for a chic and lovely friend of mine. Normally, I overdress. Even for a backyard BBQ. Since the birthday girl is quite fashionable herself, I thought my brand of dressed up bermuda shorts would be perfect. Now [...]
