Got a new shirt and socks from Banana Republic! I’m loving how fitted the shirt is and I’m always on the lookout for whimsical socks. The shoes and belt are from Nordstrom Rack. Pants are linen from Old Navy.

Got a new shirt and socks from Banana Republic! I’m loving how fitted the shirt is and I’m always on the lookout for whimsical socks. The shoes and belt are from Nordstrom Rack. Pants are linen from Old Navy.
Feeling so Friday that I wanted to have some fun with colors. Today I am wearing a sailboat short sleeve shirt and green oxford pants from J. Crew (both from the Factory store, I believe). My shoes are Pumas, size 6 ½. Wearing my Original Penguin blue belt today as well. Not pictured: a blue heather cardigan from Banana Republic that has been keeping me warm in my super cold edit suite.
It's been a while! Today I'm wearing a shirt from J Crew factory, chinos from Gap, and a stretch belt from Penguin (purchased at Nordstrom Rack). My shoes are Women's New Balance 990s. Super comfortable and they're gender-neutral in terms of look. As an update: I got top surgery recently, so this blog will mostly focus on my fashion choices from here on out, though I still have plenty of tips up my sleeve for masculine folks who have to deal with large chests and small feet! I'm also happy to help with binder recommendations and there may be an old binder giveaway coming soon depending on if my old binders fit my friend. Stay tuned!
Dressed up for lunch with my girlfriend’s dad. His girlfriend made me the bowtie I’m wearing for Christmas!
I went to my cousin’s wedding last summer and wore this suit. Not the best picture, but there weren’t too many great pics of me actually at the wedding. The suit is the Saint Harridan Lyon in Charcoal and the shirt is a quasi-custom Parker shirt with French cuffs. Très swank!
I cannot recommend the Lyon suit or the Parker shirt more. I was comfortable, confident, and got all the compliments. If you have the means, I highly recommend picking one up (There’s your 80′s film reference for the week).
This picture was for my sister (so pardon the goofy grin) and she commented on how I look ready for my run for Senate. I agree, though I think I’ll need an American flag pin before I start in on any of those types of shenanigans!
Last summer, my girlfriend and I took a trip to West Virginia with our friends. Her car broke down, so we were stuck for an extra two or three days at a motel right next to a small runway (highly recommend: tiny planes!). Since we were without a car, we had to find our entertainment on the surrounding roads. One evening - even though it was threatening rain - we took our chances to step out for a photo shoot.
Shooting when it’s overcast is best, but the sun broke through just as I took off my camera bag. Oh well, a little sunlight never hurt anyone. Except for me, cause I’m a pasty-white assistant editor who works in a basement.
"Ever since I was a kid dressing up in my dad’s suits and ties, I have enjoyed to look and feel of men’s clothing. Minimalist, detail-oriented, steeped in tradition. I am especially drawn to dress clothing and I often lament not choosing a profession that requires me to dress up more often.
Of course, as a woman there have been a few hurdles to jump as far as wearing the clothing that I feel like myself in and presenting myself in the way I wish. There is also the extra hurdle of being a large breasted, 5’3″ woman with a 27″ inseam (I have a long torso) and size 7½ (women’s) feet.”
