Review: The Clara Shirt Dress from wool&

Alyssa wears a black long sleeve dress from wool& and is looking at her cat

I have a confession to make: I’ve been holding out on you. I received the Clara Shirt Dress from wool& two years ago and haven’t written about here yet. Well, I did, kind of. I wore it here, on my trip to Winston-Salem. But I haven’t given this dress the time and review it deserves, …

A white woman stands on the ledge of a fountain wearing a black top, black jeans, a grey sweater blazer, and black oxfords. In the background is the Charlotte skyline

Yes, yes skinny jeans are no longer de rigueur, but that doesn’t mean they deserve to be tossed from your closet (in fact, please don’t ever toss any clothing from your closet – there are plenty of ways to rehome items sustainably!

Is This the Best Boot for Travel? A Review of the Everyday Chelsea Boot from Nisolo

Alyssa is standing on rocks wearing black pants, black boots. It's a close up shot of her calves and feet, and the Golden Gate Bridge is visible in the background.

I recently had the opportunity to travel to San Francisco for work – but one of the stipulations was that I could only bring what would fit in my personal item on the plane (the bag that fits under the seat in front of you). I’m no stranger to packing light and knew that I …

Home Try-On: The Arc Jean from Everlane

Alyssa holds a camera and takes a photo in the mirror while wearing dark blue jeans and a black tank

Whether or not you believe that skinny jeans are “out” I think we can all agree that it’s exciting to see other denim cuts on the racks at both high-end retailers and Walmart (and everything in between). I’ve enjoyed wearing my wide-leg canvas pants for a few seasons now, but I haven’t given wide-leg denim …

Alyssa standing in front of a graffiti wall in a blue dress with a white tee underneath

If you follow me on Instagram, you might have seen that my three-day weekend getaway unexpectedly turned into a six-day stay in Raleigh thanks to Hurricane Dorian. Due to the unfortunate combination of non-existent federal regulations requiring airlines to support passengers in the event of a cancelation and my decision to fly a budget airline, …
