State of the Wardrobe

dog on my bed, among piles of clothing

My wardrobe has two distinctly different styles: WORK (biz casual, blazers, fancy sweaters, dresses, jeans), or SLOB (fleece, elastic, hoods). Now that I’m working from home until at least January I’m trying to upgrade SLOB to include comfortable clothing that looks good on camera. That black and white long sleeved tee on top is from Old Navy and is very soft while looking professional, especially if I add a necklace. The stripes are spaced widely enough so as to not be a menace on camera. That’s called the moire effect – you can trust me because I majored in television. The leopard print top is cotton henley. Again, very comfortable without being a sweatshirt that says COLLEGE. I’m finding Old Navy and JCrew Factory to be good sources for my #BossSlob look.

Here, Murphy is absolutely helping with the laundry. Remember when I had a no dogs on the bed rule? I do too. I keep telling myself to be firm, but then I end up smooching his snoot because he’s the cutest black-and-white dog I’ve ever had.

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! :)

Well, that happened.
