Well, Father’s Day is right around the corner. My editor (Jess) asked if I had any useful gift ideas for Father’s Day last year. I think I get a few every year, so let me think. I just finished renovating a house with my girlfriend Lorinda. I was bored and needed a project. There’s nothing like feeling your age after three months of long hours at that place. Next time I’m bored, I’ll go on a trip, which is exactly what I’ll be doing after this place is sold. Anyway, during this process, I used a few items that made…

I swear this job keeps me from getting into style habits that my busy 46-year-old WFH mom can comfortably live with. I can easily wear the same athleisure over and over again (and often do), but when I make a little effort, I feel like myself. But here in the PNW it’s so casual, which is both a blessing and a curse (I miss dressing up, but only barely), so these are definitely more sports clothes for the weekend.shirt | shorts | denim button up (same) Shoes | sunglasses | bandanaThis is my take on the “Bloomer” trend and these…
