2025
If you’ve been following this blog for a while, you know one of my original intentions was to share the things I truly love (in addition to sharing pictures of food!) I don’t always do that as often as I like anymore, so every once in a while, I need to take a break from trying to convince people I know the slightest thing about art or perfume or fashion, and instead just say, “Hey! Look at this thing! I like it!”
Because of that aforementioned doctor’s visit and the changes she wants me to make for my health, as well as trying to keep a better eye on spending, I have put a moratorium on clothing shopping for the time being. If my human meatsack is undergoing an evolution, I don’t need to buy any more garments for it as it continues to mutate. In the meantime, I’ve begun some projects that are pretty intensive and consuming, and I don’t have time to be thinking about clothes or what to wear anyway!
I need tried-and-true uniforms, so I’ve gathered up some favorites into a bit of a capsule wardrobe for easy stuff to wear that I don’t have to put one single thought into. They are comfortable and reliable, and they are 99% black because I am both a creature of habit and a creature of the night! Here they are, in no order, because they’re all equally good!
Universal Standard wide leg pants
Hue Leggings (these are “tummy-shaping” but I like them because they feel like a gravity blanket for my torso)
State the Label linen Swayers pants
Not Perfect Linen snap front skirt
Universal Standard long sleeve tops
Linen fairy tales long summer dress
Joozie Cotton high-low hem dress
Birkenstocks (I call these my “black tie” Birkenstocks, I also have an old nasty brown pair I wear in the yard)
Dr. Martens Chelsea platform boot
Le Bon Shoppe Girlfriend socks (these are the best, I have a dozen pair at least)
If you enjoy posts like these or if you have ever enjoyed or been inspired by something I have written, and you would like to support this blog, consider buying the author a coffee?

You absolutely cannot go wrong with a wide legged trouser. Comfy and casual whilst also being smart and put together. My go-to personally.

you know, if you have to have bifurcated legwear get the surprise pants type. i always thought summer and winter uniforms were the best way to go. all black for winter, and lighter fabrics in summer, with black tops and olive bottoms.
