I’ve been wondering what year I got the Zang Toi sweater that I wore to an event in October. I could have asked Zang; I was just lazy about doing it. But now I’ve found a photo of the sweater and matching skirt from September 2005. Woot! It’s officially homegrown vintage! I never wore the…

Fashion Repeats Itself: Gaga Has Noli Braids!
E! Online has compared Lady Gaga’s latest hairstyle to Pippi Longstocking‘s braids. CLICK TO SEE E!’s TWEET. But when I saw this ‘do, I didn’t think Pippi at all. What I thought was, “Been there, seen that, got the t-shirt.” The braided lady on that t-shirt is gorgeous Wall Street Journal artist Noli Novak. When…
Throwback Thursday: Short Hair, Suit Jacket
Whenever a celebrity cuts her hair into a pixie — or pretends to — lots of other women are tempted to do the same. Not me, though. I had ultra-short hair for years. I’m pixied out. I previously posted this photo of my supershort 1992 ‘do. But I just rediscovered this photo from 1997. My…
Stacy Lomman Wardrobe Therapy: Election Night Outfit
Early yesterday morning, I went to vote at my local Mormon church. It was mayhem. The lines weaved in and out of the pews so that confused people were constantly getting on the wrong queue; instead of the voting machines we had in the past, we got SAT-like forms with bubbles to color in with…

Why Does Buyer’s Guilt Focus on Fashion?
The short answer: sexism, my friends! If you have very little patience or time, you can stop here. Otherwise, you may continue. The long, meandering answer starts momentarily. If you would like to use the restroom, you might want to do it now. I’ll wait. Take your time. Okay! Welcome back! As I’ve read more…
Slow-Fashion Sunday: Shoes That Last
I’ve had slow-fashion shoes on my mind for about a month now — ever since I took a long-delayed trip to Cobbler Concierge for some shoe repairs. I used to take shoes in need of TLC to “the guy around the corner.” (There’s always a guy around the corner in New York City.) But I’ve…
Throwback Thursday: Another Round of Neon
I walked by Macy’s the other day and was so happy to see neon colors in the window that I took a picture. DayGlo is a longtime favorite of mine. I really liked the cropped blue jacket with the long pink dress. Eventually, I figured out why the combination appealed to me so much: I…
Guess Who’s Back … With a Trump-Rat GoFundMe!
Hello? via GIPHY Is anyone out there? It’s been a long time since I’ve been on the blog, though I thought about it guiltily every day since my 13th-blogversary post in July. (By the way, unproductive, self-inflicted guilt: zero out of 4 stars, do not recommend.) If you follow my personal Instagram, you know that…
