I Thought I Was Done With These Old Clothes, Then I Wore Them to Fashion Week
I had just gone through the process of cleaning out my closet and I had a huge pile of clothes to get rid of. Fashion Week was fast approaching, and while I had more space in my wardrobe to fill, I had zero time to shop. As I rummaged through the aforementioned pile, deciding which things to donate and which things had enough value to sell, I got an idea. The wheels were spinning, and oh baby, when Sarah gets an idea, you know she follows through.
Why not challenge myself to wear four different articles of clothing I had already chosen to part with? Maybe I could reinvigorate these clothes with new life if I styled them differently. I felt like the "thinking" emoji with one eyebrow raised, a perplexed frown on his face. Because could I? Would I actually be able to successfully carry out this plan?
So many of my fashion editor friends call in samples from the collections they love ahead of NYFW - that great Tibi jacket they spotted on last season's runway, those asymmetrical jeans that attract the cameras of street style photographers. For them, Fashion Week is an opportunity to borrow statement pieces they wouldn't normally splurge on for a number of reasons. Perhaps it's a look - sorry a LEWK - they feel like they need to try out before buying into it. Maybe it's just a trendy designer shoe they feel they'd only wear once, and with one specific outfit.
After I felt confident enough with the outfits I created - all of which mixed the old with the new - I headed to the shows, proud of my little accomplishment. I had a secret: I was wearing all my outdated sh*t and I liked it.
But the stuff I was looking at strewn about on my bed? Man, this pile had everything from crappy t-shirts with sweat stains that really must be thrown away to dresses with tags I thought I loved at the time of purchase, but never found a way to wear. But hell, I'd feel guilty if I didn't try! So this Fashion Week, I dug back into my own hand-me-downs and came up with a fresh mood board.
I wore an old Summer minidress as a top with a maxi skirt (it's somehow too short on me now) and I looked at the supersoft, worn-in graphic tee I had begun to wear as pajamas and told it, "Darling, I'm going to reinvent you!" I wore Grandma Phyllis's vintage silk Oscar de la Renta scarf as a bandana in my hair!
After I felt confident enough with the outfits I created - all of which mixed the old with the new - I headed to the shows, proud of my little accomplishment. I had a secret: I was wearing all my outdated sh*t and I liked it. Now I felt like the "winky" face emoji, which is way better. I learned some very useful styling tips too, all of which I'll share with you below, so you can try refreshing the articles of clothing you've long retired that are now stashed away.
But first, I want to address the idea of recycling here. While we all understandably have busy lives and make excuses to avoid closet clean outs, getting wear out of the pieces you buy is respectable and cost efficient. But if you're just not crazy about that blouse that's still in mint condition and you can't find a way to coordinate it with something new, pass it onto someone who can use it. Then you'll feel like the "happy" emoji, with the big, toothy grin, and I don't blame you. Now, if you need a little encouragement before you get down to business, allow me to inspire you.

The 18 Coolest Gadgets of 2019 Are So Genius, They'll Change Your Daily Life Forever
When it comes to rising tech trends, we're seeing a big focus on products that will make your life easier. Whether that means giving you time back in your day or keeping things all in one place, products are being designed to make the wearer's day better. Instead of trying to keep up with the constant stream of new stuff coming to market, let us do the hard work for you. Ahead, we rounded up the most mesmerizing, useful items you'll want to get in 2019.
Everything You Need to Know About the Scoring in Gymnastics, Because Yeah, It's Complicated
If you only watch gymnastics when there's a major title on the line, you may not be well-versed in the scoring. While perfect 10s are still awarded in college gymnastics, on the elite level, they've been replaced with a more complex system that rewards risk as much as it does perfection.
Under the current scoring system, there are two major components of a gymnast's score: the difficulty score and the execution score. The difficulty score relates, as you might guess, to the difficulty of the elements performed in a given routine. Every element that a gymnast could potentially perform is assigned a specific skill level, each of which has its own point value. So a "C"-level skill, for instance, would be worth 0.3 points, while an "E"-level skill is designated 0.5 points. There can also be a bonus awarded when skills are successfully connected, and every gymnast's difficulty value includes an elements score, which is calculated based on whether the basic skills required on a particular apparatus are present in the routine. The difficulty score is ultimately comprised of the elements score and the point values for the 10 most difficult skills, as well as any bonus points for connections.
The execution score is the one you probably remember from the golden era of the perfect 10. It measures technique, execution, and artistry. Each gymnast starts with a value of 10, then deductions are assessed for any errors or imperfections during a routine. The value of the deduction depends on the severity of the mistake; a fall, for example, is the most detrimental at 1 point. The highest and lowest scores from the six-judge panel are dropped, and the remaining four are averaged to reach the final execution score.
So, if you've wondered how a gymnast like Simone Biles can nearly fall and still win, it ultimately boils down to the difficulty of the routine and how well they're able to balance that risk with the execution of those skills. Keep reading for a breakdown of the specific requirements for each event.

You Can Quickly Shred Full Chicken Breasts in a KitchenAid, So Consider Our Lives Changed
I love to cook, so naturally, I have quite the collection of spiffy little kitchen gadgets. The immersion blender was my favorite for a long time. Then, three years ago, my husband surprised me with a KitchenAid mixer for Christmas, and now I have no idea how I ever survived without it. It does everything. Even without the extra (and sometimes pricey) attachments, it mixes, blends, stirs, and - wait for it - shreds.
I know what you might be thinking: it shreds?! And I'm here to happily tell you that, yes, it does. As in, it will give you the most perfectly shredded chicken. And if chicken isn't your thing, then it will also make pulled pork a breeze. This simple hack makes dinnertime so much easier, and it allows you to ditch the fork and annoying task of pulling apart the chicken yourself. So, if you don't have a KitchenAid, I highly recommend getting one ASAP. Keep reading to see more of this hack that will blow your mind.
Baby Archie Looks Just Like His Dad In First Appearance On Royal Tour In Southern Africa
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are on day three of their two-week Royal Tour of Southern Africa and finally they've given us what we've all been waiting for: a good look at their gorgeous son, Archie. The 4-month-old made his first appearance on Wednesday, with parents Harry and Meghan as they met with Archbishop Desmond Tutu and his daughter, Thandeka Tutu-Gxashe, at the Desmond and Leah Tutu Legacy Foundation in Cape Town.
It goes without saying that the wait to see Baby Archie was worth it, as he charmed everyone who was in the room. It was also impossible to miss how alike he looks to his father, The Duke of Sussex, appearing to have a sprinkling of red hair on his head just like his dad did at the same age.
Dressed in a sweet pair of blue-and-white striped organic cotton dungarees from H&M, Archie sat happily on his mother's lap for the duration of the meeting with Archbishop Desmond Tutu, who was delighted to meet him, welcoming the family of three with smiles, hugs, and kisses.

Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, has had quite an eventful year. She's welcomed a beautiful baby boy, Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor, and then took a mini hiatus before getting back to work for her and Prince Harry's royal tour of southern Africa.
Starting on September 23, 2019, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex began their 10-day royal tour that kicked off in Cape Town, South Africa. Already, we've seen a glowing Meghan letting her hair down, smiling, and dancing with locals while wearing some casual, chic dresses that we've come to know and love her for.
For her first appearance, Meghan wore a fun Mayamiko black-and-white animal-print wrap dress for her arrival in Cape Town. Then, she did a quick change into a blue shirtdress, which she had previously worn for an event in January. We love that despite being a duchess with unfathomable access, Meghan chooses to wear what she feels most comfortable in. For day two, Meghan went super casual with jeans, a white button-up, and a denim jacket - a look that says, she's back to work and feeling great.
On the third day of the tour, Meghan and Harry's son Archie made his first appearance when the royal family met with the city's former Archbishop, Desmond Tutu in Cape Town. For the morning meeting, Meghan wore a silk midi dress from Club Monaco (the "Dremah Silk Dress"), which unsurprisingly is sold out on Nordstrom.com. The blue-and-white printed dress coordinated perfectly with Archie's adorable pale blue-and-white striped overalls.

Meghan Markle Replaced Her 3-Carat Engagement Ring With This Turquoise Stone
Meghan Markle has a beautiful new ring on that finger. For the second day of the royal tour of Southern Africa, Meghan stepped out in a $118 Madewell denim jacket that's the definition of laid-back. The one thing we did notice was that she swapped out her gorgeous 3-carat engagement ring for a turquoise ring by Jennifer Meyer. We love how elegant the $250 ring looked next to her sleek gold wedding band. The design had a marquise cut turquoise stone set in the middle of the thin gold band. Meghan also styled her ring with a pair of matching turquoise earrings by the designer. The studs feature a single diamond alongside a turquoise marquise cut stone.
So far, the duchess's tour style has been sleek and simple. Meghan has worn a printed dress from ethical fashion label Mayamiko, which was made of fabric sourced in Malawi (one of the upcoming stops on the tour). For a visit to the District 6 Museum and Homecoming Centre in Cape Town with Prince Harry, Meghan rewore an electric blue shirtdress from Veronica Beard. (It's the same one she wore while visiting Tonga back in 2018.) Read on to get a closer look at Meghan's jewelry, and shop the exact style, plus similar options, ahead.

If you like to get in the kitchen yourself, there are even premade mixes available to take the guesswork out of whipping up your own recipe.
