    Workshopping My F/W Uniform (For Work and “Real Life”) (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone

    Read excerpt

    Welp— it’s almost October. And even though it’s only been a few months since I put away my coats and boots, I feel a little disoriented by the thought of having to put away my white cotton tops and flip-flops. I think I’m in a good place for F/W, but it also seems like it’s been ten years since I put on a jacket, so a try-on session to refresh my memory (and determine my gaps) is definitely in order. A few notes before the mirror selfie bonanza:Since I live in Jersey City and walk my kids to sch

    Everything Looks Good in Black and White (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone

    Read excerpt

    Nine times out of ten, when a friend asks for my advice on what to wear for a specific occasion, my answer involves something black, something white, or a combination of the two. And because the central thesis of this newsletter is basically what I tell my friends, today’s post is an expansion of point number two from this recent post:Build out a foundational wardrobe of workhorse neutrals (light: white, grey, tan / dark: black, navy, brown) before you jump ahead to “fun things.” Thi

    Purchase History: Everything I Bought in August (opens the original)

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    Hello, hello! Welcome to the second installment of Purchase History, where I recap everything I bought in the previous month. I have to be honest— I am shaking my head and laughing as I write this because all year long I’ve had really “interesting” shopping months where I buy at least five things that could easily fill a post like this. I assumed my past behavior was a preview of my future and I’d have plenty of fodder for this series in perpetuity. And then the second I thought to record it in

    If I Could Go Back In Time I’d Tell Myself These 10 Things (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone

    Read excerpt

    I was chatting (lamenting) with a Substack Friend the other day about how difficult it is to find your own “perfect” pair of jeans, and I shared that if I could go back in time a few years I would have saved myself some heartache (and cash) if I had just accepted that I need two different pant wardrobes— one for winter, and one for summer. As someone with very little closet space, who likes to keep a small wardrobe footprint, that was a mental hurdle I needed to get over. And once I did, having

    A Week of Outfits: Catskills Edition (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone

    Read excerpt

    Hello, hello! Welcome to a week of outfits, Catskills Edition! It’s been over a year since my last trip upstate (how?), and that one was a girls weekend. This time I went with my husband and kids (they’re 4 and 7), and it’s interesting to see how that changed the nature of my outfits. No low-cut white linen dress this time! But nevertheless, I loved every costume change—and there were many. So let’s get to it!<a class="image-link image2" href="https://s
