I've said it over and over, but I love Instagram Stories. I love that I seriously do not care what my bedroom looks like behind me (ok mayyyyyybe I sometimes frame out things like, say, an uncomfortably enormous pile of dirty laundry or a glass of wine left over from the night before so no one thinks I'm drinking wine at 8:30 in the morning while living in a hovel, but still).

I love that I get to post the kinds of outfit shots I used to post way back when I started this whole thing: the ones I took myself in a mirror, because what, like I was going to hire a photographer?! Hahahaha. (Totally hire photographers now.)

I have fully embraced walking to kindergarten dropoff each morning while dressed as a character from Grey Gardens. This morning, for example, I accompanied my child to school wearing sunglasses the size of basketballs, striped sweatpants with sparkly silver stars on them...and a massive faux-fur coat that each and every one of his classmates immediately needed to pet, making me quite the hot topic at the dropoff line ("MRS. INDY'S MOM, WHY DO YOU FEEL LIKE A KITTEN.").

When you're in the mood to get a little odd with it, my feeling is that it's all about what you put on top. You can be all white-t-shirt-and-jeans and zzzzzzz underneath, but if you cover the whole thing up with a massive, multicolor-striped, fringed and hooded poncho-esque creation that evokes Yoda via Lilith Fair, or perhaps a fuzzy coat that brings to mind a Bantha with a goth dye job (I mean that as a compliment)? You're good. Like, real good.
