Breaking outta my flight suit to reveal my inner superhero as I run to join Captain Marvel, et al. for Avengers: Endgame at Seattle Cinerama.
French hen and Vintage Blazer
The sweater-fied French hen with the pink beret stayed cozy warm tucked beneath my vintage wool blazer. I came *this close* to wearing my own newly acquired pink beret from the magnificent @maisonlamacon but decided that might be too much beret for one outfit. Stay tuned, though.

Coming Soon? Instagram Files Series
Over the last several months I’ve realized I use Instagram a lot to create what would ordinarily be blog posts. This includes outfit ideas, videos, life observations, and photos from travels and events I attend. Sadly, though, I have not been good about posting the same information to my blog. I’m simply not organized enough …
Elegant, Practical Style from Seattle
Back in August, Sassafras posted on Facebook and Instagram inviting fans to the unveiling of Ligne, a new brand by up-and-coming Seattle designer Tanu Singh.

A Whirlwind Visit to Baltimore in Hurricane Style
I bet you thought I’d fallen off the face of the earth again. I do that from time to time. This time, the edge of the earth was, in part, Baltimore, Maryland. (After that, my computer died and, well, that really is like falling off the earth, isn’t it?) I was in Charm City for …
I Made a Jumpsuit. Now Help Me Choose a Belt.

For the last couple of weeks, smoke from wildfires in British Columbia, Eastern Washington, Oregon, and California have swirled their way to Seattle and settled in for a short summer’s nap. I can’t imagine what it must …
Bewitched by a Vintage Dress
Who watched Elizabeth Montgomery play Samantha Stephens on Bewitched? Anybody else watch reruns of that show even today? (I do! I do!) Oh, how I dreamed of being a witch when I was a kid! I mean, who wouldn’t want to be able to clean their house with a twitch of the nose? Plus, the …
Blogger Meet-Up Proves Vancouver’s Got Talent
I’ve been watching old America’s Got Talent clips on YouTube recently. It’s been a balm to my weary soul in these darker times. The earnestness of the people on stage who make themselves so vulnerable draws me in like a moth to a flame. It soothes something deep down inside and gives me a glimmer of …
Transported in Reversible KFLY Dress
Cue up the Out of Africa soundtrack. We’re going on a safari. I don’t remember much about the plot of Out of Africa but I remember everything about how the costumes and the music made me feel. The tailored elegance and exquisite fashion filled my artistic soul. It etched in me a desire to dress just like Meryl Streep’s …
