Remember when I started a 30×30 wardrobe remix challenge back in June? Even though I took a little blog hiatus last month, I stuck to the ‘rules’ of my remix and mixed-and-matched 30 pieces as my weekday wardrobe for nearly 2 months. I didn’t take photos every day, but here’s a roundup of 33 of the outfits from the challenge. Guys, I loved this 30×30 and I could’ve kept going and going. I’ll definitely do…
We’re nearly halfway through my 30×30 remix, and at this point, I think I could happily live out the rest of the summer with this pared-down wardrobe. Leslie shared a post about her own capsule wardrobe experience on Cupcakes & Cashmere yesterday, and I’m inspired by her process: she evaluated every piece in her closet with a critical eye; then edited her wardrobe down to 36 well-loved pieces; and sold the rest on Poshmark.

Things are off to a great start with my summer 30×30! I’m enjoying getting dressed for work in my little makeshift mini-wardrobe in the laundry room, where I stashed my 30 pieces on a rolling rack to avoid any distraction/temptation from other stuff in my closet.

If you’re an old-school style blog lover, you probably remember the challenge well: take 30 pieces from your wardrobe (tops, bottoms, dresses, skirts, outerwear and shoes) and mix and match them into 30 unique outfits over 30(ish) days. Kendi’s 30×30 inspired us to play in our closets, get creative with our style, and…
This is the most random of roundups of my #OOTD selfies: a few are from this week, and several are from last month that I forgot to upload. You can spot the oldies by the empty concrete planter; I finally got a pretty fig for her! The common theme of my weekday uniform right now is easy blouse + jeans (mostly these from Everlane) + cute sandals. I mentioned in a recent post that Zara…
With Mother’s Day officially behind us, heralding the close of our busy spring season at the shop, we’re cruising into my favorite time of year: sweet, sweet summertime. When C and I started working in the flower business — almost a decade ago! — I spent the summer months wringing my hands and stressing about slower sales; dreaming up apocalyptic scenarios of the end of the floral industry as we knew it. Now I look…
