Bring Out Your Jackets (opens the original)
Read excerpt
At first, it felt like September was dragging, but then I realized, “oh fuck, it’s ramping up.” Yes, things are getting busier socially, and that’s a good thing (despite my whining). Just like last week, I’m leaning into autumn style with creative layering, and the use of accessories to add fall vibes (think scarves, gloves and tights). Welcome back, boots! I had an outfit-planning sesh on the weekend, which always results in fun fits. I mostly just put together what says YES to my brain, and th
Fall-ify It! (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Hello, Gentle Reader! Welcome to another round of what-the-fuckery-is-she-wearing?! This week, I’m focusing on fall-ifying my outfits for the wacky weather as we deal with the last couple of weeks of meteorological summer. It’s not Autumn till the equinox, in my mind. As previously-observed, I am only a few weeks off from my bi-annual Closet Swap-Over, but I also have a goal of reducing my wardrobe by 50% before I retire in less than 2 years1, which means I’
Weather Whiplash (opens the original)

They’re not all bangers1, but putting joy out into the world is the goal.

And the weather is sorta hot-sorta cold? Weather talk…ooh, you’re in for a treat. </

I have very few backwards hangers left, so September tends to be a month of “Ugh, just wear it,” or “Yay, wear it again!” If you missed last week’s shenanigans, catch up!So…this week is a regular ol’ work week, with four office fits, followed by a dear friend celebrating a big birthday on the long Labour Day Weekend.
I Love to Get Dressed-Up-A-Lot (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Well, hey there! Are you ready for a short week of outfits, the likes of which you’ve never seen? That got dramatic quickly, but it’s been an emotional week - Dolly! Tim Curry! - capped off with spending time with some of my favourite people as we guffaw our guts out at the theatre. You may encounter Monty Python references. Why was it a short week? We did a road trip and took Monday off.That meant one less office outfit, so I had to really not half-ass it. Only full-ass effort for you, Gentle R
