Portland Uncovered: Kelly Sue DeConnick’s Picks
We all want to be good at everything and to make it look effortless at every stage of our lives, but that, my friends, is an impossible dream. I used to be good at clothes shopping and whatnot—at least I think I was!—but at some point after two kids and a career that worked out better than I ever could have imagined, I looked up from my desk and realized that I wore the same three t-shirts and 15-year-old jeans every day. Shopping for myself was relegated to the slivers of time I could steal while Fraction waited in the car with our precious weasels. I didn’t know where to start. So I asked for help and it came in the form of my angel named Scarlet, who, for an incredibly reasonable package price, cleaned out my closet, made me a shopping list and a personalized list of dos and don’ts, took me shopping at boutiques I never would have known about, hooked me up with a tailor and then came back to my new closet and styled a buttload of outfits for me — ensuring that when I spent that week in an LA writers room, the only thing I *didn’t* worry about was how I looked. Glorious freedom. —Kelly Sue DeConnick
