Our Chief Boss Lady’s Pre & Post Quarantine Style

Look at me! I’m a risk taker! I matched these crazy prints together and strolled around with my dog for the big outing of the day. My pup thanks the pandemic for ensuring that both Mom & Dad are at least *as* excited about walk time as he is. This Yumi Kim dress has a gorgeous open back and all the movement in the skirt, so please give yourself a dress up day present with this beauty.

My Wildfang pick! I feel deeply connected to this brand because I love everything about what they stand for. Portland-based and run by a team of ultimate boss ladies, this label prides itself on making space for everyone – whoever you are, and whatever your beautiful body is looking for that day. These overalls made good on this promise, as they were easy to style, comfy to wear, and practical with great pockets and warm but not too warm fabric.

You can’t go wrong with this.. sweatshirt/dress/cozy… everything. The drawstring gives it a bit of shape but it was really great for those (numerous) days where I just wasn’t moving off the couch but needed to keep my commitment to myself to change out of my pajamas. New day, new underwear, new clothes. No exceptions. Ok, some exceptions 🙂

I rented this incredibly luxurious jumpsuit for my quarantine birthday in April and have not been able to give it up since. I used a bit of double-sided tape and went both bra and bra-less (!!)

This gorgeous red Brass dress made it’s debut last weekend for my first outdoor-brewery-beer of the season. One silver lining I observed over the weekend was the sense of community at the local cider house we were at (www.locustcider.com – check them out!). People busing their own tables, inquiring, genuinely, with the staff on how they were doing in a very personal – and dare I say un-Seattle way.
I also love wearing Brass because the women behind the brand stand for everything we believe in at Armoire. They were also our very first wholesale account and took a chance on us just to help out. Please give their stuff a try!

Whew! The quarantine sweatshirt to rule them all. I have admired this Philip Lim sweatshirt for many moons. I have thought about it. Imagined the uniqueness and luxurious feel. It did not disappoint. It is WEIRD. The texture is soft but the appearance is metallic. It’s cropped but warm. It’s full of contradictions and not like anything else I’ve worn. A true risky move for me, and I loved it.

Wahoo! So this was my most worn item. Which surprised me. I don’t always love huge prints or ruffles, but I gave this a try and loved it. The back has a tiny peekaboo that was and the length was both cozy but also warm for work from home days.

These jeans! I have rented these 3 times. For my body, they have the perfect “high-waist” there. It isn’t uncomfortable but also zips up my belly. I love the color, the hem & the minimal stretch. Try them. You will thank me.

These pants are AMAZING! They actually made me smile wearing them. A real smile. I am not sure what the designer had in mind, but I call them my “Stairway to Heaven” pants, and I dance to the song as I put them on.
