Clothes Horse
When that new Netflix Marie Kondo show came out, I couldn’t even finish it. The idea of decluttering — especially clothes — does not compute to me. Hi, my name is Meghan, I have a wardrobe problem. The problem is, my closet bar just SNAPPED under the weight of all of my clothes. I’m…

LOST: my inspiration. FOUND: this stuff…
So I just told you in my boat post that I’ve been struggling with finding “inspiration.” That’s pretty harsh, but it’s true. I’ve been actively searching for, but (largely) failing to find, things that excite me. Apologies in advance for sounding like a total jerk, but I’ve been going through a big period of “blah.” I’m not, like,…

Dress For…?
Who do you dress for? So it’s often assumed (by men) that women dress for men. When straight men feel like they can comment on how you look or what you’re wearing, it’s just another reminder that in (Straight) Man-O-Vision, everything exists to be pleasing to them. Or, if it is not, pleasing to them that is,…

Can Men Wear Clothes?
It started with the romper. Sorry, romphim. Men, are you ok? Alright, I hate to say it, but #NotAllMen lost their minds when the romphim, which is a romper for men (?), started making headlines early this spring. Masculinity so fragile that you can wear a shirt, and you can wear shorts, but…

Rei Kawakubo / Comme des Garçons “Art of the In-Between” at The Met is Actually Hilarious
So a couple weeks ago, I took myself on a trip to The Met to see the Rei Kawakubo / Comme des Garçons “Art of the In-Between” exhibit. I went in with zero expectations and I did zero research. I knew less than nothing about Rei Kawakubo going in, but I always enjoy the fashion exhibit.…

Dressing For The Weather: New York City Edition
Summer: “Which of my pretty pretty dresses should I wear today?” *five minutes later* “Ok, I’m ready!” Fall: “I can pull off this sundress! I’ll just put a sweater over it. And some jeans under it. And a down coat. I’m still tan from summer, so you can hardly tell that my extremities are turning…

2015 in Review: Second Quarter
APRIL I Have A Crush (4/4/15): “Brooklyn’s humble, eclectic charm was calling to me. While my old haunts were burning down, moving out, or turning into 7-11’s, I turned to Brooklyn’s vintage shops and offbeat museums for respite. When Manhattan rushed me, I’d spend carefree weekends winding down windy streets.” Jiminy Crickets! (4/23/15): “No stranger…

Dear Santa…
Dear Santa: I don’t ask for much in the way of gifts and presents, because what I really want can’t sit under the tree with a shiny red bow on top. Santa, if you think (as I do) that I’ve been good this year, I will be even better next year if you bring me…

HORROR MOVIE TIME!!
Loathe as I am to even grant this video more views than it already has, I watched it yesterday through my fingers, with all the lights on, covering my mouth in advance of the vomit I felt rising in my throat. It’s less than six minutes long, but it’s the scariest horror movie you’re going…

Dress Code Rules
School is back in session this year and already a hot topic: DRESS CODES! What girls wear, or don’t wear, can make or break an educational environment. You see, without strict dress codes dictating what girls can wear, female students will just wear whatever clothes they feel comfortable in, just like the little unrepentent whores…

A Mile in Grown-Up Shoes
Let’s face it: being an adult is hard, from your head down to your toes. You not only have to think and act like an adult, you also have to dress like one! I have been mostly successful at avoiding this until yesterday, when special circumstances warranted that I wear…grown-up shoes. I picked a pair…
