A midsize 14/16 Universal Standard customer since 2017, I share honest Universal Standard reviews, promo codes, Fit liberty and size tips, what Universal Standard clothes are petite-friendly, styling tips, and Universal Standard outfit photos in jeans, dresses, outwear, workwear, and more.
I don’t think I’ve ever written a blog post with an exclamation point before, but this one deserves it. I don’t recall when I learned about the clothing brand Universal Standard, but I was instantly obsessed. As a larger size, I was frustrated by the style and quality selection. I loved clean, minimalistic looks with…
Women, if you want a pair of overalls, get thee some overalls! So many of you email me and leave comments worrying about figure flattery in regard to overalls. Will you look like a toddler, a Weeble Wobble, a try-hard? Can you REALLY wear overalls? Let’s be honest for a second. Do you really think…
Going through the pictures on my phone, I realize there’s a lot of recent looks I’ve worn that haven’t made the blog. Some of my outfits from the past few weeks: Boilersuit: ASOS Curve (14) | Wing Patches (on back): Etsy | Earrings: Jenny Bird | Bracelet: Had forever (budget-friendly option) | Shoes: BCBG (old;…

Once I was interviewed by a venture capitalist looking to invest in a company I’ve parntered with on the blog. He wanted to know an honest, unbiased view of the brand and to hear from a long-time customer. I admitted I loved the company, but wish they would switch up their marketing to not only…
It’s dangerous writing capsule wardrobes. I spend so much time researching pieces I see the benefits, I have the time to envision them in my wardrobe… and sometimes I buy them. And that’s what happened with this Boden Ponte blazer after writing my low-maintenance workwear capsule wardrobe! Jacket: Boden (16) | Tee: V-neck Slub Tee…
I’ve written about two of the four Stitch Fix boxes I’ve received thus far. The first two were… eh. The second two? Way better. I believe you get out of Stitch Fix as much as you put in. Regular communication with your stylist, plenty of feedback, regularly updated profile, and access to your Pinterest and…
Yesterday I met two friends for lunch in the city. It was at a cute French cafe, so no need to be super fancy but I wanted to look polished (and well, when bloggers get together photos are always taken!). My husband captured these photos while outside waiting for the Uber. Blazer: Banana Republic (14P)…
When I was in elementary school, my best friend Kelli and I had matching purple overalls. I loved those overalls and wore them all. the. time. In college I again donned overalls with baby tees, pigtails, and a bandana and wore them to Dave Matthews Band and Blues Traveler concerts. After college, I had a…
