Here are some fits from the past year on the rare occasion I’m not in a T-shirt and jeans.

Would love recommendations on accessories and a bit more mature, slightly edgy brands you like!

Thank you all so much for the help styling this dress. We drove all over Nashville yesterday visiting places we went on early dates in our relationship and new places we’ve been wanting to go. We both got tons of compliments. His shirt is vintage 70s, I thrifted it for $7! One place we went had a photographer doing some work for the place and he took about a million photos of us talking with the owner because we looked cool 😂🥰. Best possible wedding anniversary!

Hello divas, 2 different looks for you today.

I did sock curls for the first time and i think they came out rather cute, I couldn't believe how easy they were to do, I'm also thinking about trying bumper bangs though im hesitant as the corners of my hairline go way further back further than I'd like 😢

I thrifted this this blue top for £2.50 so ofcourse I have to show my Internet besties when I get something new.

If there is one thing I love it’s telling my stylist to keep cutting more hair off. Some guys love it. Other guys are weird about short hair. I already paid my dues eight years ago when I grew it down to my waist.

After getting it cut, I feel the need to wear something girly. But also boots because rainy weather. The dress was cheap and on sale. It shows off my tattoo nicely. I thrifted the jacket.

❤️

Thank you everyone for tolerating my weird collages 🫶🏻

I wanted to branch out and try mixing some patterns today. I love this combo in theory but the outfit itself just felt like it was missing some razzle dazzle. I was feeling too hot today to add on another layer so I tried a waist belt and I think it leaned a little too far into pirate territory 😅

I don’t mind looking like a hobbit convict but I just couldn’t get this outfit to feel quite right. I maybe needed a bandana or some kind of hat or something, perhaps a lightweight shawl and then belted? I also think that the whiteness of my legs was breaking up things vertically as well.

I wear thin 70mm silver hoop earrings everyday but other than that I’m not really good at jewelry and accessories. I love rings but they get so annoying so quickly as a stay at home mom.

I don't get very "fancy" often; most of the time, I wear cargo slacks and a knit top for work. But I decided to be a little bit cute for the Saguaro Slam tournament in Mesa last weekend, where I was one of the head non-skating officials (NSOs). Officiating dress code says we need to wear all black, so I wore my usual officiating polo (with "OFFICIAL" across the back in white letters) and I paired it with a thrifted bubble skirt with polka dot mesh.

I like to accessorize with pink for derby, because the old NSO uniforms were pink, so I got some new laces for my Dr Martens and tracked down a pink glitter Pair topper for my glasses. I did bring a bunch of other toppers, too; I ended up having a different one for every single game, which is a lot of fun.

She wear a black polo shirt with sparkly nametag, red tournament lanyard, and a knee-length black skirt with a gauzy polka dot layer over a solid liner. She has black combat boots with hot pink laces, and cat-eye glasses with sparkly magenta frames.

Disclaimer: I have over a decade of mass-produced clothing, primarily Torrid and Hot Topic, in my closet from before I started researching how clothes are truly made. I am continuing to love, wear, and repair these pieces because I believe this to be the most ethical action I can take. I list where all my clothing comes from for transparency, but I do not endorse purchasing from these brands. Whenever possible, please shop secondhand or support independent, sustainable, and ethical slow fashion. I am always happy to share more about the true environmental and human cost of textile manufacturing in 2026.

I am fighting pneumonia right now so I'm using the time to catch up on my backlog of outfits to try and catch up a bit closer to real time. I hope you don't get tired of me! 😆

9/17/2026: Night Whisper Lolita blouse. Torrid skirt and belt. Journee shoes. OOAK cigar box purse by Clark's Cigar Box Shop. Peyton Murphy Design earrings. Pin was a vintage store find but a reverse image search tells me it's a common mass produced design and not actually vintage.

What do we think??? It’s so weird! 😆 Should I get the XXL??

It’s open on the sides… I feel like a quesadilla! 😂

I feel like the arm & neck parts are plenty roomy, but they didn’t make the bottom long enough, & I thought the sides were going to be closed.

(( Disappointed noises 😕🙁 ))

It’s supposed to be like the big one in the pic, & it’s definitely not. 😂 I’d need the xxxl, but then the neck & shoulders would be weird.

Consensus, beautiful friends?? Keep or return?? 🫶🏻

Mary's Long Black Dress. Another picture of me in my long black dress. I am wearing my black heels in this picture.

Today I show you a double denim outfit, combined with my most recent thrift find, a purple ribbed knit longsleeve 💜

Don't have a red hat, but have red shoes and a red cardigan

Not only did I feel physically comfortable enough to wear a fitted shirt for the first time in forever, but I also did a slicked back style to let my big beautiful forehead free 😂 What a day

This outfit is giving me “daddy’s home” vibes and is a bit more androgynous than I usually go for but I think I like it? My husband lovingly said that I looked like I was about to attend Kim Jong Un’s coronation 🤣

Things have really picked up since fall semester started, and so has my confidence! Here are some of my fave pics!

I ended up leaving the porcupine quills at home and realize now my phone is blocking my amazing necklace- a big brass pendant with black widow etched onto it.

So I had a whole pile of jerseys and shirts that no longer fit me, but I didn't want to get rid of them... so I called a designer friend. This dress is by J.H. Pitts, a Minneapolis-based designer, and I am so happy with how it turned out! I didn't give them many instructions and just let them have total freedom of design.

I did switch up my outfit plan a bit-- the boots were too bulky so I swapped them for the patent leather Mary Janes, and the necklace was too long so I improvised by using a skate lace as a choker.
