You (Probably) Only Need 5 Necklaces (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Jewelry has been a bit of a final frontier for me when it comes to my closet. It’s never been a huge priority for me to wear jewelry outside my wedding ring and a pair of daily earrings (I still wear these 90% of the time). And when I say jewelry I do not mean fine jewelry (though maybe that will come someday?). But! I’ve slowly acquired a few pieces in recent years and now… well, most of my outfits feel incomplete without a necklace (or this pinky ring that I never take off). And the people hav
Case for the Waist (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Once is an accident, twice is a coincidence, three times is a pattern. Or so they say. And at this point, the pattern goes way beyond three times. I’ve previously called myself a Sartorial Anthropologist because I’m no trend reporter but I do catch and store details and then try to make sense of them. I notice things. I file them away.

If I had a clothing arch nemesis it would be denim. And this fall I’ve decided to try and face this enemy head-on; to find denim that I actually want to wear, and decode how to style it in a way that feels exciting for me.

The only other bottoms that I gave any consideration to were trousers, but I always worked in casual office spaces so I never had real
Retiring the Flip-Flop (opens the original)
Read excerpt
All summer long I have more-or-less lived in a combination of pants and sandals because I really think there is no better outfit. With long pants and flip- flops you get a tiny bit of exposed skin. You get a low visual profile. You get an elongated line. There’s a sense of ease and movement. The pants can be big, puddly, relaxed or cropped and they just WORK with a flip-flop because it’s not competing. This picture from Tessa Tran (the CEO and Creative Director of Chan Luu) earned an immediate s
Sterling Point: I Want Annie’s Closet (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This post is a bit different for me, but I thought it would be fun. I promise that if you haven’t watched the TV Show Sterling Point, you’ll still enjoy this newsletter. But, also, definitely give the show a watch 😉I heard whispers about the Amazon Prime show Sterling Point a few weeks ago and, specifically, that the costume design was good which was more than enough reason for me to give it a watch. Like most people who have started the show, I proceeded to binge watch the entire thing and deve
