I wore this dress in this post, but needed to get it in a decent picture. I washed it this weekend (gentle cycle, line dry) and was pleased to have it end up looking like it did when new. Unfortunately I didn't get a picture of the cutout in the back of the dress – guess I'll have to wear it again soon!

What I Wore: CARE at the Embassy of Finland

Did you know where the term care package came from? CARE.org created the original care package in 1945 with rations from World War II to help those in Europe devastated by it. Since then, CARE has grown to become a leading humanitarian organization fighting global poverty. CARE places special focus on working alongside poor girls…

The only way I’m going to survive this season in life and society is to get fresh air and sunshine when possible, move this body, wear color that brings me joy, and find humor in the mundane. Dogs also help, even though Bowser looks embarrassed by my fall fig leaf action! 🍁

Vest, top, and leggings are all @athleta though not all new. Shoes are @brooksrunning Cascadia which come in wide width, sunglasses are @caddis_life prescription & polarized, on my back is my @dagnedover Dakota backpack which I used to ruck books to the little free library then ruck groceries home.

Eff that noise that you MUST toss anything from your closet to be stylish and current. A little restyling can give new life and a fresh look to anything in your closet, including millennial booties.

Style comes not from what you have in your closet but how you wear it. All these items have been in my closet a while. Instead of spending time shopping for new, I used that time to play with the pieces and see if I could create a new combination and give a fresh life to my closet.

What’s awesome is these same items are still for sale or else there is a new version this season from the same retailer. Hello shirts made for large busts, petite pants over a size 12, water and sweat resistant jewelry, and chic size inclusive trench coats!

Shirt: @theshirt_rochellebehrens
Sweater: @bananarepublic
Pants: @anntaylor
Bag: @onequince
Glasses: @eyebobs
Necklaces and circle ring: @analuisany
Coat: @universalstandard
Lipcolor: @merit
Sneakers: @adidas

When I saw this purple color at @anntaylor I couldn’t resist it. And hello petite pants over a size 12! For those who saw my video about dress shoes for wide feet and plantar fasciitis these are the red suede shoes I featured!

It’s wool blazer season; that period of the year where it’s comfortable wearing one without a coat and not too overly heated inside to keep it on. I decided to have some fun with pattern mixing in shades of blue with a pop of leather.

Blazer: @veronicabeard (it’s one of the jackets you can add dickeys to; I recommend if you’re a 16 to go with the smaller dickey, above go with the larger)
Shirt: @theshirt_rochellebehrens
Jeans: @lovechicos (old)
Belt: old @talbotsofficial scarf
Bag: @onequince
Glasses: @eyebobs
Sneakers: @adidas

I love chartreuse, moss gold, acid green, and all those other greenish goldish colors big this season. Sure they look great with denim, black, brown, and navy but I’ve been styling the color with unexpected pairings and love the effect.

Sweater: @landsend
Pants: @loft (machine washable & petites over size 12 🙌)
Sneakers: @veja (old)
Belt: @anntaylor (old)
Glasses: @zennioptical
Earrings: @mmlafleur
Lipstick: @merit Vermillion

Decided to stay local and attend #NoKings in @cityofgreenbelt with my sister @debbiefaye78 and so glad I did! It was heartening to see so many of my neighbors join together to protest what this administration is doing to our country. It’s not about red or blue, left or right, but right and wrong and the way they are destroying our country, breaking laws, and having complete disregard for our Constitution. We cannot be silent, and these No Kings gatherings should be motivation to take our activism to the next level. The reason we’re in this mess is apathy; fighting back is the only way to save our country. Thank you to all who participated today; let’s keep this energy going! 🇺🇸💪
