Love these fits! Especially the loose dress. I feel you on the no tight things right now! I’m having a hard time styling those same Sambas right now…Any recommendations?

I definitely like them more with the light laces vs. the green laces they came with. I agree, they're not the first ones I tend to reach for, but they are some of my comfiest shoes for sure.

Hmm, I've been trying to settle on my three words for years. Edges is one (whether that means tailored, asymmetry, layers, or edg-y!). Unfussy is another (whether that means comfy, conscious of my sensory needs, or stays put) ... Choosing the third us hard because it feels final. I dress pretty feminine most of the time, but I loathe eyelets and love me some Rick Owens. So it feels tricky!

I'd love more info on how you manage swapping bags all the time - I have one handbag with all my essentials in it at all times, and only occasionally swap things out into a smaller bag if I'm going to a concert of similar. Is it possible because you're pretty minimalist in terms of what you carry around? Thanks!

Oh yes, I switch bags every day and I do think minimalism is the key! I basically just carry my phone, keys, wallet and lip balm with me on a daily basis, and then I separately have my work bag, which is my laptop, notebook and such.

Love the tan barrel jeans and light sweater with the caramel sling bag. Nice look.

Darling, per usual!

I am wondering, with the Clementine dress, do you wear a bra? I’m always at a loss of what to do or wear with a cute dress that has more of an open back.

No bra with that one!

I’m trying to come up with my three words. I know the first one would be simple, as in nothing I have to fuss with. I’m thinking the next would be clean (not in the laundry sense 😛). Lines that flow together and make “sense.” Comfortable feels like a good third word, but am I using three words that all ultimately mean the same thing? I’d love your opinion and ideas from anyone who feels like sharing.

Oh yes, there’s a lot of similarity in there. It can help to find 5 or so outfits you’ve LOVED and then try to pull words to describe why you think they worked. Contrasting words sometimes are key!

This is one of my fave weeks of outfits you’ve done! I hear you on the denim midi, but wondering if you still have a baggy Jean short recommendation for those of us who spend a lot of time on the floor with little ones? Thank you!
