I was inspired to do a post about styling and loving my curls after viewing Dove’s “Love Your Curls” video:
I get teary eyed every time I watch it. I wish I could talk to the school-age me and convince myself that curls are absolutely beautiful and that they mirror my personality – springy, happy, fun and a little bit crazy. I think it’s important for all curly-haired girls to grow up knowing that curls are something to be proud of. Continue reading
I hope you all are having a good week! I wanted to write this post a couple of days ago, but I’ve been SUPER tired this week and have a bit of a sore throat. 😦 My husband, a doctor, was on “home call” yesterday, so he was paged three times last night starting at 1 a.m. We’re both worn out, but I can’t go another day without posting! As I mentioned in my previous post, there seems to be a lot of pattern mixing on the runways and streets this spring. Continue reading
This is probably one of the most exciting things I started trying in the last year or so. Because this is such a big topic, I’m going to divide the post into floral & stripes (this blog) and dots & floral/dots & stripes (future blog post). The first time I realized I liked pattern on pattern was after I purchased a Harper Bazaar’s Runway Report in 2010. Continue reading
For my second blog post, I thought I would talk about one of my fashion passions…As I mentioned in my previous post and in the “About Me and the Blog” section, I love cardigans. I remember a time, about 10 years ago, when I couldn’t find any cardigans in any of the stores I shopped in. Then Hollister debuted a whole line of cardigans, in almost every color imaginable. Realizing this was an opportunity I couldn’t pass up, I spent a good chunk of my paycheck as a veterinary technician (job I had throughout high school and college) and purchased all of the cardigans available in my size.

Hi, there! My name is Lauren and thanks for stopping by my blog! I’m a curly-haired, remotely-located e-librarian for a large company, who LOVES cardigans…I mean, really, who doesn’t? Since starting my work-from-home job, my once honed-in fashion skills have become a bit rusty. My husband, bless his heart, has become used to the wild woman he sees when he returns home from work: insane afro/ringlets, no makeup, pajamas (or as we like to call them, lazy pants, to make them sound a bit fancier than they actually are), surrounded by an assortment of work paraphernalia, and snuggled up with a large man-kitty, Doughnut. I’m hoping this blog will inspire me, and maybe others of you out there who are in a work-from-home fashion rut, to find the motivation to dress up! Continue reading
