I wear clothes that mostly fit, I collect leather accessories (primarily purses, shoes, and jackets), and I enjoy gold jewelry. That’s worth seeing, right? Yes. Yes it is. Be advised, I’m not a fashion blogger, I’m not tall, I’m not a size two – and here I am anyway!
These OOTD posts are a personal time capsule, and a visual log of outfits that work for me (or don’t!). For the sake of variety I’ll try to avoid showing repeat outfits in a single season, but no promises. For geographical reference I am in North America (USA), Central Arkansas. Links to other seasons are at the end of the post.

GOOD • I finally have a closet that fits my clothes, but this isn’t my forever-home. This means that while I can see all of my clothes in one place, I know that I must reduce my collection because my next closet will surely be smaller. Taking outfit of the day photos will help me see what works, so I can only keep what looks great, and donate the rest.
BAD • I am between sizes right now. I had a baby 12 months ago, and I just don’t fit into my old clothes yet (generally size four), so I have been buying clothes that are a little too small so I can shrink into them. In a surprise move my waist isn’t shrinking at the same rate as my hips. Oh, and I have bad skin; expect to see various stages of angry dermatitis.
ALSO • I will add specific details about individual pieces of clothing as I can, but a lot may simply be brand and size; don’t expect style names or season.
