Playing Dress-Up: A Pretty Blue Dress
I’m gaga for dresses ever since the temperature has assumed its position above the 80 degree mark. Not only do I absolutely refuse to wear constraining clothes when it’s this hot, but dresses are one-piece outfits that require little thought or consideration for coordination (and who has energy to think about such things when it’s this hot outside?). I decided to walk to the...

Playing Dress-Up: Reubens and Ice Cream
Last night I went out to dinner with with my very first and longest standing best friend, Anna. We met on the playground when we were two years old, and even though we haven’t seen or heard from each other much since high school, it’s still remarkable to me that we’ve been friends for two decades… Eek! (Frequent topic of conversation? We’re getting old.) She...

Big Room
Okay. I moved into my current apartment in March and had numerous requests for pictures. I procrastinated, promising myself I would take some tomorrow, no, tomorrow, no, TOMORROW. Well, I finally decided to just take some here and there and post them as I feel inspired.

I really think you’ll love it (I know I...

Now You See It, Now You Don't
I’m going to do something that some of you are bound not to like. Fortunately, I’m the webmistress here so you’ll just have to deal!
I’m going to be doing a bit of blog cleanup over the next few days as I prepare for the biggest and best redesign yet. Soon, thanks to some valuable personal advice from Jessica of What I Wore, a web designer, and my lovely boyfriend,...

Playing Dress-Up: Ready, Set, Go!
Okay, so today’s post has absolutely nothing to do with style of any kind, as clearly demonstrated by today’s bland (but practical for being on the go) outfit. What this post is really about is a wonderful new addition to Grown-Up Lessons that will make it easier than ever for me to stay on top of outfit posts. “Psh, Elizabeth! We’ve heard that before!” I know, I...
