the salt mines


This is what I wore to work.

Notice the sensible shoes. 

When I get to work, I change out of my shoes and put on my chef clogs. I also don a vintage inspired apron made just for me by my mamacita and get to work. I'm a cook, so I get to cooking. I've been working in kitchens for a few decades now,  and I specialize in organic, vegetarian fare. I'm an ardent supporter of the SLOW FOOD movement and buying seasonal locally grown ingredients when possible. And I LOVE living in California. Because it's easy to grow things here. Awesome and tasty things. 

Pretty plain Jane, huh? Yep, that's real life for you. Can't wear your Louboutins in the kitchen or you're going to catch heat.

Now Wearing: 
  • Black Bishop T-shirt, F-21
  • Black polka-dot scarf on head, thrift store
  • Jean shorts, on clearance, Target
  • Black leather skimmers, on sale,  Target

    Ha! I agree with Jemina...it's all about the headscarf! It's very retro and practical for your line of work. See...even in the kitchen one can have flair!

    Oh, if only I COULD wear shorts and a t to work. Even on casual Friday, we still need to look like we work in an office.

    I think you look great!
