Back in the day I used to be really into fashion. Maybe it was my Long Island roots/NYC proximity, maybe it was playful creativity. I don’t know. But somehow over the years I turned into a jeans and t-shirt person. Sometimes as I look in a mirror now, I’m not certain who I am.

I enjoy reading blogs like Style as Needed because this is a working woman who still has fun with fashion. It’s inspiring me to take a bit of effort to escape the t-shirt rut I’m in.

Truth is, I don’t have a problem with t-shirts. I just don’t feel like I’m at my best wearing them all the time myself. With tips, tricks, thoughtful explanations of pros and cons of styles, this site is helping me spiff up my existing wardrobe.
