What I Wore and Cringe Culture and You (Thank Goodness for You!)

Yes, there are some What I Wore photos in this post, but it’s not primarily a post about Style. It’s about the willingness to be vulnerable that Bloggers must muster to represent themselves with integrity or authenticity. This blogger, at any rate. Also about Cringe Culture and mean comments. . . so yes, I threw in some OOTD posts to lighten the mix. Hope you’ll click through to read more. xo

Fall OOTDs, Monday (turned Tuesday) Morning

Okay, almost getting the rhythm of Fall here. My Rentrée energy might be crashing by Monday evening after a busy day, but I’m getting into the groove and my Linen and Cotton OOTDS are yielding to Linen and Wool (as in the featured photo) . . . and even to Wool and Corduroy. It’s happening, people! Can Boots be far behind?

Paddling Into Fall . . . Trailing some memories

In the Neighbourhood, Walking to Italy . . .

In this post, I return to a little series I call “Walking, Wearing, Listening” in which I share photos of what I wore on a neighbourhood walk along with photos of that neighbourhood — and tell you a bit about a podcast I listened to. In this post, the podcast will take me (and you, should you care to join me) to Naples, even as I walk the streets around me here in Vancouver. Walk with me?
