Miss Flighty is back. It just so happens that this week’s podcast episode was about Personal Style, and I decided to try my hand at another seasonal wardrobe changeover. These are entirely unrelated activities, however. I did my very best in this week’s episode to explain that thinking about issues of personal style is notContinue reading “A Seasonal Changeover”

Refashion: The Amazing Yellow T-shirt
This refashion was not supposed to happen when and how it did. I had great plans for this oversized yellow t-shirt, yet another find from the 1€ rack. It happened when it did because when I was going to take my boys out to the park on Saturday morning, my youngest had a crisis andContinue reading “Refashion: The Amazing Yellow T-shirt”
Refashion: The Amazing Green T-shirt
I may have mentioned this before, but my philosopher husband (who you met in last week’s podcast!) has a very exciting take on creativity, one that I have taken as a license to invest in my creative endeavors with renewed enthusiasm. His philosopher’s hot take might sound a little bit strange, coming as it doesContinue reading “Refashion: The Amazing Green T-shirt”
Refashion: That Amazing Salmon T-shirt
Please allow me a theoretical digression before I show off my latest refashioning project: Remember how I told you that I have been suffering under the fog of my hormones lately? Remember how I was complaining, à la Justin McElroy, that my womb was wandering and I was feeling a little bit hysterical? Remember howContinue reading “Refashion: That Amazing Salmon T-shirt”
Refashion: That Fabulous Striped Shirt
I came across this quote that really spoke to me: Everything that you make, that’s made by your energy, is partially made out of you. It’s made out of whatever experiences you’ve had. So you can knit little booties and they will be made out of your rage. You can get your rage out ofContinue reading “Refashion: That Fabulous Striped Shirt”
Creative Destruction
At some point last year, I came to the epiphany that there was power in destruction. Oh, I said it far more eloquently last year than what I just said, but it went something like this: My hormones stir up anger and rage in me. And rather than destroy relationships by being thoughtless and sayingContinue reading “Creative Destruction”
A Zebra For All Seasons
At the risk of imagining myself one of those people who unboxes new toys for their millions of YouTube fans (about which I have zero delusions), or TikToks themselves showing off their latest thrift store haul, I do still want to tell you about how I came to possess not one but two zebra dresses.Continue reading “A Zebra For All Seasons”
So now what?
No, really? So now what? I asked myself. What am I supposed to do now? Just waltz into a thrift store, or a sock store with the wad of cash burning a hole in my pocket? (–Umh, Lily? Umh, hunny, to what cash are you referring?) After a year of being hypervigilant about my shoppingContinue reading “So now what?”
Challenge Update: Week 41
Back to regularly scheduled programming This week had moments of normalcy, moments of inspiration, moments of flow and the longest 24-hours of low-tide I have ever experienced. Challenge Rule 1: Buy No Clothes/Don’t Covet I bought no clothes this week. Not for me, at least. One day this week, my littlest scalawag’s teacher was absentContinue reading “Challenge Update: Week 41”
Challenge Update: Week 40
Celebrating 300 articles! If 40 weeks doesn’t sound like a lot, then maybe 300 articles does? Or, I don’t know, 289,000 words? I’ll be the first to admit that all 289,000 aren’t great. I never set out to write a certain number, neither of words nor articles. I wanted to write about the journey, andContinue reading “Challenge Update: Week 40”
