about me

Folks, I am a serial shopper. I love to browse with the frequency and fervor of an addict (which I admit isn’t the healthiest of attributes, but that's another discussion for another time). I follow fashion media with the kind of interest one should reserve for actual relevant world news. I’ve built a crazily extensive and eclectic wardrobe - which is why any female who enters our home makes a beeline for my dressing room like it’s wallpapered with avocado toast. Hurray for consumerism! Hurray for crippling debt!

Truth be told, my enthusiasm used to be tinged with a healthy dose of guilt and shame. Fashion is largely viewed as superficial and meaningless - especially in the face of an increasingly sobering world. But I’ve come to realize that it actually holds a much more significant place in our psyche. It can be our armor, our camouflage, an extension of our creative selves, a malleable appendage we can suit to our confidences and insecurities alike. It can change our mood, it can help transform our feelings about our appearance and, for those of us who are moms, it can help us feel less like an interloper in our own skin.

I read an article recently in which a well-respected nail artist described her craft this way: “it’s this really intricate, expressive way to communicate your identity and your individuality on your body.” This spoke to me because I found it to be such a concise yet eloquent interpretation of the many ways we can artistically & creatively reveal ourselves and connect to others. It’s the precise way I feel about clothing…it’s an opportunity to broadcast who you are, what you’re feeling, and what inspires you without saying a word.

And so I’ve embraced my passion for fashion in all its complexities. It's one I indulge in and share often, and I’ve been lucky enough to turn it into a career as a personal stylist.

Now, the fact that all this this savvy has come at the expense of more basic life skills is unfortunate, but I have zero control over it. With age and motherhood I have found that I can retain only so much information, so the sad truth is I have no idea where any countries are but I can tell you who makes the perfect blazer you never knew you needed. Basically the real estate in my brain looks like this:

Anyway, I initially approached Uneven Three solely as a destination for other women on the hunt for great style. But as with most endeavors it's taken on a life of its own, and I've found myself compelled to write about a number of different topics that interest or amuse me. And that's the thing...we're all complex and multi-faceted, right?

So here's what you will find on this blog:

insight into my life as a personal stylist
a wealth of fashion finds, inspiration, and commentary
honest & uncensored musings on life and motherhood

What you will not find:

photos of me on a yacht in Bali with other bloggers, because real life
selfies made to look as though someone managed to capture me at my most unsuspecting yet flawless moment when really it took 284 attempts and a dislocated shoulder to achieve

Thanks for visiting, and hope you have fun while you’re here.
