Nothing like a simple, packable, washable ensemble for a bike commute day. I feel a bit sheepish that today’s outfit seems to chuckle in the face of my promises to explore androgynous dressing, but dresses are simply unbeatable for bike days. One unfussy piece, and you’re clothed.

I’ve been feeling a bit low lately, friends, and somewhat out-of-sorts. So instead of trying to force creativity, I’m starting to gravitate toward simple outfits. Can’t get much simpler than a dress and boots … but it works. (I’ll admit to throwing on a black pashmina at the office. Turns out this neckline is a bit deep for work.)
