Running errands and the beach

(Photos: The Boss) The Boss and I had to run a quick errand. I didn’t want to get dressed. That’s quite a conundrum, wouldn’t you say? On the days I’m feeling exceptionally lazy, I turn to a simple, easy-does-it outfit that can get me through my day with minimal effort: Worn jeans and a top [...]

On a boat and out to lunch

(Photos: The Boss) The Boss and I went on a sea life boating trip last weekend. It was raining in the morning and there was a little bite in the air. Since it’s always colder on or near the water, I started with a fitted black tank top that would provide a bit of insulation [...]

Getting the car serviced

I went to get our car serviced at the dealership, and since I was going by myself I put some thought into what I was going to wear. Since I’m a woman, I’m aware of many scenarios where people (ahem, MEN) try to bamboozle the female species when it comes to car services. Clothes say [...]

Because thinking about packing gives me heart palpitations

Packing stresses me out. If I know I need to travel somewhere, I’ll make a list of things to take with me a month in advance, and if I can, I’ll pack those items at least a week before my flight. By contrast, The Boss can pack the morning of a flight, while watching Sports [...]
