Lazy style: Dressing for upcoming weddings.

Confession: Every outfit that looks great on me is one that I shamelessly grifted from a mannequin. If a fashion-savvy person puts , I will believe them 100%.

As a result*, when Facebook showed me an eShakti ad for this dress…

…I knew I had to have it for the 2 weddings I’m attending this summer. I’m really excited because it combines a very elegant cut with a slightly crazypants tropical bird print. AND IT HAS POCKETS for me to hide hor d’oeuvres in.

Now I need to find a pair of silver sandals, delicate silver hoops, and a brown wig.

*Have you noticed I use the word “so” in almost every other sentence? I noticed it big time a few weeks ago so I’m trying to cut back. DAMMIT!

Hello!

About Me

I've been blogging for over twenty (2 decades! 2-0!) years and I'm apparently one of the few over-50 female bloggers who haven't sold out to THE MAN yet; hence this blog remains quirky, homespun, and unprofitable. No big. However, if you're from Disney, Doritos, or Dave Matthews Band, I'm open to talk about selling out.

I live in Southern New Jersey with my husband WM, and our dog Murphy. I'm an adult who likes Disney but not a Disney Adult. I used to work a fun (really!) office job in Philadelphia, but since March of 2020 I'm a work from home hermit. So if you're looking for a childless, slightly round, marginally boring GenX woman's blog to follow, you've come to the right place! :)

Do not get lost in a sea of despair. Be hopeful, be optimistic. Our struggle is not the struggle of a day, a week, a month, or a year, it is the struggle of a lifetime. Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble. - Representative John Lewis

You can still have a cozy day without having the “aesthetic.” Sometimes your cozy place has a dog crate in front of it. Sometimes the toilet bowl cleaner scent overpowers your candle. It’s still perfect. #cozy #reallife #genx
