I feel you on the width of the jeans and the overall wider silhouette. That’s why I will never let go of the Millennial French tuck, no matter how much it dates me.

They will have to pry the French tuck and the side part from my cold dead millennial hands 😭

Came here to say: I am loving the new focus on Substack and that the Khaite bag is worth the price. I debated and pulled the trigger and it was my most loved bag all year. Cheers !

I really enjoy these outfit roundups! It’s been helpful as i try to shop my closet more and take inspiration from the outfits that i like. You really do have me thinking about the Khaite bag and those gala pants. Your best professional self was looking chiccccc and comfortable (two of my AB three words choices!!)

I feel personally attacked by Wal Mart not making those t-shirts anymore.

Every so many years wall mart comes up with something but surely it will change in 2 months. I have random long sleeved tees and leggings I wear for work under scrubs and then literally the entire “brand” label, sizing and whatnot changes 😂😂 but they were cheap, fairly durable and what I needed 😂😩😩

Wow! That & Other Stories dress is amazing! I've never heard of this brand before. I'm excited to see the dresses are lovely and the prices are reasonable. Thanks for this find! If I buy something, I'll be sure you use your link!

isn't it great? they've become a favorite brand to shop!

Yes! I find it really difficult to find evening dresses under $500. I mean, one day I dream of having a closet full of Etro, but today, I’m in for the $100-$300 range!

Oh no, I did not need to know about Tuckernuck sale 😟 … already convinced the wallet of the house to let me indulge in (40% off!) Banana Republic sale yesterday

That Khaite bag … is gorgeous!

I also have a hard time with jean silhouettes sometimes, and try to wear what I feel comfortable in (which should be a no-brainer). But I will say that some shapes have taken a little getting used to for me, but once I've converted I've been loving them! I think you look great in all the outfits, probably the jeans+tee most of all!

that's the thing, I think it just takes time -- and rewiring our brains a bit!!!! So I'm doing it, and it gets a little easier/looks a little more normal every time!

also, for the ozma shirt, how do you wash/dry it?

I machine wash on delicate and line dry. It says handwash but I found it was fine machine washed on delicate.

Love you in the LaLigne jeans. And Shon barrel leg pants. You’d look amazing in the Nili Lotan MARLENE JEANS in Shopbop. Honestly agree the wider leg jeans make you look frumpy. Tuckernut shirt is good looking too. Could you do something on wedding guest attire and mother of the bride looks??

Telling someone they look frumpy? 😂😂😂

We do a wedding guest edit every quarter! The last one was late summer, we'll have fall up in a month or so :) https://thestripe.com/late-summer-wedding-guest-edit/

I don't think I'd even know where to start with mother of the bride looks, I'm sorry!

I love your outfit roundups because they never seem performative. Like I believe that’s what you’re really wearing if that makes sense. Anyway you look great in everything and you just reminded me I really like Ozma but haven’t checked them out in awhile. I’m into big tees lately and I like the idea of one made from silk noil.
