Confession: I have too much stuff, particularly clothing. These days when I look at the two-sided garment rack which is stationed outside of the closet large enough for me to step inside of, I feel weighed down and vaguely embarrassed. It's too much. I’ve defended my consumerism with numerous excuses - I lost weight and … Continue reading The urge to purge

Filling my garment rack at Nordstrom Rack

It was probably the best article of clothing I ever bought at Marshall's and it … Continue reading Ode to my (p)leather jacket

If you had asked me that same question 35 years ago, my response would have been “baby soft,” as in Love’s Baby Soft. Unless it was summer, of course. In summer I was devoted to Love's Fresh Lemon. You 70s girls know exactly what I'm talking about, don't you? In many ways I've moved on … Continue reading How do you smell?
