I don’t normally wake up and think to myself, Today I want to wear something pretty. Most mornings, there’s actually very little thought involved in my getting-ready process, aside from how many more episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer (I’m halfway through my rewatch, okay?) I can possibly squeeze in before I’ll be missed at my desk. I then pull on the same black jumpsuit and call it a day.

Besides that, the word “pretty” has taken on some pretty loaded, pretty sexist connotations over the last couple of decades. (Please go read my co-worker Amanda Montell’s fascinating article on the subject.) I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately, and about the different ways we can go about reclaiming the word and defining it for ourselves. After all, my “pretty” is going to look pretty different from your “pretty.”

All of which is to say that when I show you my roundup of “pretty” items I have stashed in my shopping cart, I’m not talking solely about ruffly “feminine” (say hello to another word we need to have a collective chat about) pieces. There’s certainly some pink involved, but there’s also plenty of black leather—because we’re all people of contradictions, no? Keep reading to see what’s been catching my eye atReplica Store as of late.
