Plus Size Outfit of the Day ~ July 25, 2022

First, I got my scan results back today, and I am UNREMARKABLE. Which is a good thing. Remarkable in medical terms essentially means “nothing to be concerned about.” I’ll take it. No human said to me, “you are cancer free, now get out of here.” But I’ll take “unremarkable.” And I’ll happily

So, Last week I finished paying off Every Single Credit Card. Every one, to the penny. Go me. Today I took my car for an oil change and ended up putting almost $300 back on a credit card. Sigh. I got the oil change, a bunch of other blah-dy blah things…and one

Dressing for A Scan Part 2. This was my optimistic attempt at NOT having to put on the (always too small) gown for the scan, which is always a miserable experience. But this time I got to scan dressed (just sans bra cuz of the metal hooks), so yay. It all took

It’s like soup outside. So a dress would have been nice. But I knew we were going to be taking pictures outdoors in the grass, so…jeans made more sense. At least this loosey-goosey gauzey top floats away from my body and doesn’t TOUCH ME. Cuz when I’m sweaty, DON’T TOUCH ME. Don’t

The Junarose dress lives on! As light and floaty and easy to wear as ever. I keep waiting for the fabric to just wear thin and pop a hole somewhere but so far, knock on wood, no holes. This is it’s 5th year. LONG LIVE THE JUNAROSE DRESS. Dress: Uhm, Junarose. 22.

A hot day + many pictures to take + schlepping from building to building = LINEN. All the linen. SUMMER linen, not heavier autumn linen. So what am I doing these days with my “extra” time that used to be spent TEFL/Ebaying? Not much, ha ha. Spending a little more time “studying”

ANNNNNND I’m back. AGAIN. Last week I was on vacation and I literally wore two things: 1) my nightgown and 2) a nightgown dress with a unbuttoned button-down. It was a delightful week of lovely, lovely nothingness. One evening early on (I love when vacations are long enough that you can say

And today, after staying up til almost 3am watching shows, I jumped up before the alarm even went off! I’d left my Korean homework stuff at work yesterday so I wanted to go in a little early to get it done before I punched in at 8:00. It’s such a joy to

Ahh, a swishy dress and sleekish hair, whatta time to be alive! After almost a year without, I FINALLY splurged and replaced my old curling iron that threatened to burn the house down every time I plugged it in (so, yes, I stopped using it. as is evidenced by The Year of

Lately, my phone alarm going off in the morning means “hit snooze,” not “GET UP.” I mean, I know we all hit snooze over and over and over again (don’t we??), but I no longer think, “oh, alarm, I guess I should get up, no, I think I’ll hit snooze and lay

Week(ish) In Review: The One Where I’m Still Alive

Hello! Yes, I am alive. Yes, everything is fine. Several lovely people reached out to me over the weekend asking if I was okay, if everything was okay and I realized I never even said, “I’m gonna take a little break,” cuz, frankly, there was not even time/energy for THAT.  I haven’t

Damn. At lunch I thought of a really clever way to start this post and do you think I can remember that now?? Absolutely not. In other news, IT’S FRIDAY! OF A 3-DAY WEEKEND! And it’s HOT. We’ve had a really lovely spring, dry and on the cool side for the most

I’ve mostly worn these mustard linen pants with with the white linen button-down or the navy-and-white striped tee with the (this) blue chambray top. But once again, two things wound up in my line of sight at the same time (shirt and pants) and I went OH. Huh. Hmm. It’s a LITTLE

It’s Just a Break: BTS Update and Thoughts

I know not everyone is in the BTS lane but this turned into WORLD NEWS (??) yesterday, so maybe you’ve heard…and a couple people have messaged me asking if I’m okay, ha ha. Which is lovely and thoughtful, but yes, I’m essentially okay. So BTS had their annual Festa dinner Monday night

IT. WAS. A. DAY. Well, a morning. But…thank goodness I wore something easy breezy! The Invisible Black Dress still earnings its keep. The chartruese-that-looks-yellow-on-camera button-down here for Year Two. Sneakers (shocker). Speaking of Bettye Who Only Wears Sneakers These Days, I HAVE been looking for a very specific mythical creature called Fabric
