Capsule wardrobes inspired by art and nature
So the new work environment is "business casual", with jeans on Friday. Piece of cake...In honor of the Project 333 crew, but NOT in strict adherence with their guidelines, I've whittled down my wardrobe to the following 33 garments, which will be all that I wear for the months of June, July, and August.
Unlike Project 333, I'm going completely, wildly unlimited with accessories...
Outfit updates will follow!

Yes, you are seeing LOTS of "what to wear with" - especially with scarves. You can't imagine how many requests I received... But I like these little vignettes; even if you don't want to buy or wear the scarf, the colors in the scarf can be a great springboard for a few well-coordinated outfits!
And for great scarf tying ideas, check my friend Mai Tai's site; she is the complete GENIUS of scarf tying...

Indulge me while I do some math:
10 minutes/day messing with my hair = 1 hour per week (I'm taking Sundays off)
1 hour/week = 6 1/2 work days per year
6 1/2 work days per year X 40 years (adult working life) = over ONE WORKING YEAR...
And what am I trying to do during these boring, and futile, 10 minutes per day?
I'm trying to have hair like Louise Brooks. Or maybe even Juliette Greco. But it's a waste of time, electricity, hair-care products, and ultimately, I'm spending a little bit of time every day telling myself that I'm JUST NOT GOOD ENOUGH the way I am naturally.
Which is this:
There are dozens of ways in which we engage in futile battles. We could easily just surrender, and be happier, more productive, ... View the Post
