Every so often I will get a gifted article of clothing from a brand. It’s not something that happens regularly, but occasionally I will find something that fits my lifestyle and needs. As of late, I have started to approach gifted items the way that I approach shopping, and I use #thefourshoppingrules before picking anything…
Before I talk about Birkenstocks, let’s talk about what’s going on here in the ol’ Jaana brain. Just when I think I’m getting used to quarantine life, it hits me that summer is only beginning. The days are so long, and with Stevie being high risk, we are in no hurry to get out and…
I have heard chatter over the last few years that a chambray shirt is no longer in style. It is OUT! Is that true? Or are we just bored with the idea? Styles come and go so quickly these days, sometimes we don’t even have time to let a trend catch on before it’s gone.…
I get so many questions about these tan slides! They are such a great minimal sandal, but they come with a heck of a price tag. So naturally, people want to know more. I will tell you right off the bat — these are a luxury item, and not a practical one. I’ve had mine…
I’m about 3 weeks into my summer capsule wardrobe (minus a few days of leggings last week during my break) and I’m feeling really positive about it so far. The experiment has been doing exactly what I expected it to. It has kept my head right where it needs to be — focused on (and…
Boy oh boy, what a couple weeks it’s been! Besides all the energy out in the world, in our little bubble we jumped head first into summer school last Monday — and it has been more work than regular school was! I know they’re trying to keep the kids busy, and I appreciate all the…
To be honest, a crop tank top and jeans isn’t theeee most comfortable thing in the world for hanging around the house all day. But putting together new looks from the same old things does bring me a sense of joy and satisfaction. After the year that we’ve had, I’m realizing small methods of self…
This past week, I muted my regular content to make room for other — frankly, more important — voices. I did not need to be on my platform taking up any more space. Being quiet and listening was the easy part. I used my time away to study, research, follow, share, donate, sign petitions, text…
There is something so incredibly satisfying about finding very specific items secondhand. I don’t know if I’m lucky, patient, or just straight up overly enthusiastic. But once I set my mind on it, I sometimes will put in a little too much time and effort to find that certain thing. Take this sweater for example.…
If you didn’t know about my love affair with linen, you must be new here. Let me introduce you: Linen, meet reader. Reader… meet the fabric love of my life… linen. *sigh* I’m not sure exactly when linen and I started our relationship. If I remember right, I even avoided it for a really long…
