Heather Gray Day

You know how some days are so beautiful that you can compare it to a tangible object? Like the day was so sunny and beautiful like a great big sunflower. Or the moon was so bright and round like a bright diamond in the sky. Well, today I walked out and it looked like heather gray--the most boring gray in the world. It didn't even look dreary like a gloomy dark gray day. It was just heather gray like Costco sweatpants or concrete. So, I dressed the part in heather gray everything, which surprisingly looked really good even though it felt like I was walking around in a colorless black and white movie.

Madonna Monday Morning

Madewell denim jacket, Club Monaco sweater, Zara faux leather skirt, Tibi booties, Ray-Ban sunglasses

Today I woke up and had a Monday Morning Madonna Moment circa "Desperately Seeking Susan" except without all the lace, crazy hair, crazy make-up and plastic jewelry. So everything, except all the stuff that made Madonna's outfit cool.  It's like 80's Madonna Lite; which is how you should be emulating anything by Madonna anyways. Especially now that she's completely lost it and has the most pronounced and pointy cheekbone implants and chin job I've ever seen. But to be clear, I don't blame her one bit for her desperate craziness. How does a person like Madonna "grow old gracefully" anyways? You can't very well go from cone boobs and crotchless panties, writhing on a bed onstage with a barrage of beautiful gay men to Dr. Scholl's and button-ups drinking Earl Grey with her middle-aged retired dancer husband? No, as much as it pains me to say it, this freak phase that she's in is exactly what she should be doing. I would be pretty disappointed if she came out looking totally normal. Except for the cheekbones. Pointy cheekbones are just really creepy.

Gone Fishing

Club Monaco camo jacket, Aqua x Bloomingdales silk dress, Kenneth Cole shoes, Ray-Ban sunglasses

Fishing jackets are the new cargo pants, which is great because cargo pants for girls are just so pointless. They're so skintight that you can't fit anything into those pockets which was why you wanted to wear cargo pants in the first place.  Fishing jackets on the other hand are huge and loose and have A TON of pockets. There's six pockets total. Six!!! It's like a little tenement house. The funny thing is, I used all of them! So I'm constantly patting myself down and poking around in each part of my jacket just to find five bucks for my morning coffee like a fool. The good new is, at least I have my hands free. I'll need them too, to keep patting myself down to find my stuff.

"Effortlessly" Cool

Madewell denim shirt, BCBG silk dress, Prabal Gurung x Target shoes, Chanel bag, Ray-Ban aviator sunglasses

I love wearing things that people say are "effortlessly" cool or "effortlessly" chic or "effortlessly" anything because those outfits take the most effort but looks like you just happened to throw something on and you just happened to look amazing in it. For example, I wore this dress to a holiday party this year and then re-purposed for a coffee run with a gal pal today. She noticed that I had worn it to a holiday party of course, and was amazed that I could cooly turn it into an "everyday" outfit like I'm some kind of fashion magician or something. As if all my clothes are so amazing that I can just wear anything in my closet as evening-wear or day-wear because I'm just that cool. Wake up people, nobody is that cool.  I knew when I bought this dress that I could make at least 4 outfits with it...that's why I bought it! Because, what's better than "effortless cool?" A lot of "bang for your buck" baby! So don't be fooled. The only thing effortless in this world are sweatpants and Uggs.
