First time styling: Age 3
First victim: my dog, Ginger
I refused to wear dresses, but Ginger had no choice. Priceless.

I am a lawyer, not a stylist. But, I would dress the world if I could.
Most of my friends cannot afford even the chic and cheap outfits that the magazines put together, so I thought I would give it a shot and put together some outfits on my own. As for my own style, I am always cold and so, I almost always have a cardigan on or with me. I hate hats and never tuck in my shirts (unless I am in Court). I believe there should be more dogs and less people in the world.

Get in your car right now and go to Sephora and buy a bright new lipstick and some powder rouge. Also, maybe put on more mascara. Stop by Camille’s for a chicken-salad sandwich and a large iced-tea.
Instantaneous pick-me-up.
My favorites: the Girls (see below), gardening, cooking, watching a lot of reality tv (but, never got into american idol), Ladette to Lady, the Office, Lost, You Are What You Eat, Project Runway, The Real Housewives of NY, Dexter, So You Think You Can Dance, Keeping Up with the Kardashians, and ANTM.
Things you would be surprised to learn about me: I have set the microwave on fire 3 times and the oven on fire 1 time. I have replaced my garbage disposal all by myself. I can’t sleep with my socks on. My yard is supposed to look like that–it’s a cottage garden. The end.

DID YOU HEAR ON THE NEWS ABOUT A SPIDER FROM SO AMERICA THAT WAS FOUND IN THE BANANAS AT THE GROCERY STORE? IN TULSA. VERY DEADLY. THEY CAUGHT IT AND SENT IT TO TU. IF BITTEN YOU WOULD DIE WITHIN 25 MINUTES. THERE IS AN ANTIDOTE BUT NOT IN THIS COUNTRY……..DON’T BUY FRUIT………LOVE MOM

I love your site. What a great idea. I love the idea of dressing well, but lack the talent. Your site is a perfect learning spot!
This is amazingly awesome, Lindsey! You should turn these into some kind of animation and put them on YouTube — and forget being a lawyer and become a fashion maven.
This is a great idea! I followed the link from Les Cadeaux, and will be visiting often.
I love your style and your knack for combining everyday pieces into fabulous looking outfits. I also followed the link from Les Cadeaux. I cant wait to more outfits – especially those that transition winter-spring pieces.
Your “favorite” aunt turned me on to your blog…..love it! Outfits are inspiring and your commentary is hilarious. Look forward to reading more in the future.
P.S. You should send some of these in to the fashion mags!
Oh my gosh my dog’s name is Stella too!
It’s the best dog name in the whole world!!
