HOW TO DRESS LIKE A GOOD VOLUNTEER
For the most part I do not censor what I wear. There however are times such as first impressions and serving food at a charitable dinner for Create Common Good that it does not make sense to show up dressed like this or this. I like to look like I’ve come to work . . . but not too hard.
My fallback for a casual work outfit is the same as anyone else, a simple shirt and jeans. Then I accessorize the shit out of it with a wool French beret (Dillard’s clearance, $10), suspenders (thrift store, San Francisco), Christian Dior tie (thrift store, $1.50), and Joan David Italian hand-made leather loafers (thrift store, $5.75). To finish off my outfit and look approachable I wore my favorite silver vintage East Indian cuff (from Mum). My cuff puts people at ease and allows them to joke with me about how I can bash their face in with it.

Dear Universe, tomorrow is my birthday. All I am wishing for is a few good friends to dance the night away with me. I am also wishing for lots of jobs photographing fashion, people, and culture. And please end this next year with a trip to Italy. Thanks. Love, Bethany.
