“Incorporating the old is a thought I keep in mind with every outfit I wear. Whether that be something I’ve thrifted or something passed down, there’s a certain quality in wearing clothes from a bygone age. This look is inspired by a 1897 Sargent portrait of socialite Edith Minturn Stokes. Elements of early 20th century fashion can be seen, notably the pleated shirt and pillbox hat. This piece is meant to emulate a bird - the black crowned night heron to be exact!”

For reference, the portrait that inspired Chris:

Mr. and Mrs. I.N. Phelps Stokes, 1897

And here’s a black-crowned night heron:

Should I be saving my money for a down payment on a house and getting rid of furniture so I have less to move? Yes. And also yes.

But consider:

She's $300 and I need her

She's here!!

This side-by-side was built by the Rockford Desk and Furniture Co., which only existed from 1891-1895. I've found one singular other example of this cabinet, which was auctioned over a decade ago, and was stained a dark cherry color. I personally like the color of the quartersawn oak as it is, so I'm not planning a full restoration.

#holy shit how do you score something like this #if I found such a wardrobe in Austin it would cost at least 3x the price if not like 10x

The object comparisons are things of an equivalent weight, not things you can cut with the swords. Just saying so to preemptively stop cursed comments.

Like a claymore it takes two hands to properly wield a baby

I came up with a travel/packing hack this year that I wish I'd thought of sooner: after you get home from a trip, write a packing list of what you took with you. cross out things you didn't use at all, highlight things that came in clutch, note anything you forgot to pack or wish you had. write down the length and location of the trip and the weather. then use this as the starting point for future packing lists.

and two pieces of advice for packing light: never pack more than a week's worth of clothing for any trip, assuming you have access to laundry. if you're only packing something "just in case" you need it, then you don't need it. if you do find you need the thing once to get to your destination, buy one there. you might end up with a nice souvenir (especially true with clothes).

A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.

Y'all for real please do these. Even if you're certain your posture doesn't suck. One day you will wake up with impinged shoulder pain like I did and let me tell you it fucking HURTS. Do these exercises even just once a week and it will make such a difference. Especially my fellow creatives out there, stop shrimping over your work and go do these right now. RIGHT NOW.

Also, if you’re even a little concerned about getting a hump or having trouble standing fully upright in your old age, this is how you prevent that. If you want to be up and about when you’re old you have to start when you’re younger. And keep in mind there is no bad time to start and it’s never too late. Starting today is way better than never starting at all.
