cabi Shy Pullover: Petal Pink with Black
Tuesday I attended training to be an election judge for my county. Maryland has its primaries at the end of April and though I’ve taken this training before, it was back in 2018 and a refresher was well appreciated. Also, since 2018 our county has updated some aspects of voting. We now offer same-day registration;…
adidas x Universal Standard Review
We all know I am a fan of Universal Standard, a brand that has democratized fashion by offering cool style from quality materials in sizes 00-40. Universal Standard has partnered with brands such as J. Crew and Rodarte to push them to extend their size range but now they’ve partnered with a brand that makes…

Last February, Universal Standard had the coolest promotion called Mystery Boxes.

Elevating the Comfy Pant
For years, my business casual, dinner out with the family, weekend run to the mall, and coffee with friends uniform involved jeans. Bootcut jeans with Chelsea boots, skinny jeans with knee-high boots, boyfriend jeans with sneakers, ankle-length straight jeans with loafers… you get the idea. I think it’s a uniform many of us have in…
Size Inclusive Leather Jackets from the Jacket Maker
I struggle to find leather jackets that fit me. If it fits the bust, the shoulders are too wide and the sleeves too long. If the sleeves are the right length, it’s too tight to zip. The jacket usually gets bunched up above my rear, and if I find one that fits, there’s no way…
Winterizing a Summer Jumpsuit
I’m all about wearing what I already own, and I’ve been looking at this Universal Standard jumpsuit I wore this summer and was trying to figure out how to winterize it. It’s twill, so it’s a seasonless fabric, and the color doesn’t scream summer either. A turtleneck is a given, but since the sleeves are…
