View Larger My favorite coworker is about 66 years old. She doesn’t like the riffraff in her neighborhood that play outside. She is worried about crime. She reuses everything. She is a republican. She has a gripe about everything.
Today she asked me why I wear such ugly old lady shoes which “even [she] would never even wear”.
(yes we have a crack in the floor where I work. It’s across the whole building and we’re going to die in an earthquake.)
I’ve been wearing my extended necklace around the city the last few months and I basically have been impressing the pants off of everyone in town. And for good reason. Are you aware of it: Lengthen your necklace in a flash!
Quickest answer ever: Attach two chains together and make one long dramatic necklace! TA DA!


The Cattache is a great way to make sure you don’t let the cat out of the bag allthewhile letting people know you’re a little different.
As they say “real women have curves”. Well, curves make a girl have to get creative with clothes. I pin button-down shirts together so they don’t gap revealing my bra, I’ve learned the value of Spanx and now, I present to you my latest discovery in clothing modification: the rubber band extender. Are you aware of it? Well, check it:

All you need is one regular sized rubber band! (I learned this technique from @lizshap who learned of it from the “MacGyver of fashion” @HelloCupcakeLLC).
Whether you are in the early stages of pregnancy or just look like you are, loop a rubber band through the button-hole and around the metal button and you have just given your waistband an extension without allowing your pants to hang open wide for all the world. I wouldn’t really recommend walking around all day like this (or in front of people who matter) but it’s a great solution if your pants are a squeezin’ whether it be from a real baby or a burrito baby.

I like to pet it and “pretend” I’m talking to it.
