It has been a difficult week. My husband keeps telling me to not let someone spoil my life and I know he is right but I have to grieve first before I can move on.
Thanks Hilary! Agreed. So crushed for so many reasons. I know the sun will come up tomorrow but for the moment leaning into the sadness, taking a break from the news and taking gentle care of myself with fun, mindless reads 💙💙💙
Thank you Hillary! Your fabulous newsletter is just the salve I needed today!
Love your steadfastness in style above all else but not necessarily only fashion!! Appreciate your perspective on all the brilliant things you write about; YOU ARE REAL AND WE ARE SO LUCKY YOU TAKE TIME FOR US! Sending you so much love and peace right now! 🥰
Am I finally going to get the Shon pant? The barrel cut has not been cute on me so far but I just can't believe you'd steer me wrong. Anybody else loving these?
The only reason I feel confident is you KNOW I am not team pants or jeans or barrel leg and I LOVE mine in part because they're so soft but also they just look GOOD. It's weird. I find it confusing too.
OK came here to follow up and say these pants are so comfortable and amazing. I wish Nili would make them in a straight/wide leg. They did end up a little too barrel for me so I'm returning. Also I think I'm about the same size as Hillary and the 4 was plenty relaxed for me so in case you didn't clock she's wearing the 6 oversized just note that - you can size down.
Yes tons! Just search "smocked dress"'at your favorite retailer. La Ligne does great ones. Hill House feels preppier to me but also does. Shopbop usually has a ton too.
following - I have been over the smocked thing because it feels too Nap Dress circa Covid but I think this post just sold me (or maybe it's that it kinda feels like 2016 again?)
Hillary, thanks for speaking out on IG also this week. I'm not even American & I'm devastated so can only imagine what it's like for all of you. You have much support around the world. I've set my boundaries for now & refuse to read or watch anything about the election & what may come. It's too heartbreaking. It's a good time for some diversions, whatever they may be.
Yes, devastating week for many people. So it was a joy to see your newsletter in my inbox this morning, and your adorable girl put a huge smile on my face!
It’s unfortunate that so many of the styles you presented don’t come in anything larger than a 12. There are a lot of us who wear a 14 or larger with lots of $ to spend.
And thank you for acknowledging what happened this past week. My heart breaks for those who will suffer the most.
Sending you love. It's been a horrible week.
And seconding that Doen dress. It's my favorite as well. I have way too many versions!
Just the best.
Thanks for writing this, Hillary, and acknowledging the huuuge elephant in the room. I guess we keep Kamala and carry on a la, but it’s hard and sad.
Sure is. Sure is.
This is just the shopping therapy after this craptastic week. Thank you Hillary for being with us and speaking out.

Appreciate you and others for using your platforms to denounce hate and everything else he stands for 💙💙💙💙

Rest. Process. Rebuild.

This made my heart so happy.

Do it 📣 my friend wrote a review of them for me and officially made me revisit them (though I also like the Citizen’s of Humanity Marcelle as an alternative). https://open.substack.com/pub/onestarreviews/p/nili-lotan-shon?r=28yea&utm_medium=ios
This review 👆🏻 finally convinced me after a year of considering them and now I wear them 1-4 times a week.
Love them!

are there other doen-like dresses by other brands? just curious what's out there.

Ahahahahahahahahaa leaning into comfort right now.
Came for the everything. Stayed for the photo captions. "Weird gesticulations, model’s own." And the solace. Right here with you. XO.
ahahahha I'm glad you caught that. I always put in a joke for myself and love it when other people are amused by it.
Needed! 😚

Thank you Hillary! What size would you think I take in the Doen dress if I’m usually a 6?
I'm normally a 6 and have both M and S! Both work, but I like my Ms best.
Silk Laundry also makes excellent silk pants in gorgeous colors! Sending you a hug Hillary 💙
Thank you so much for this and the silk pants rec! Checking them out now.
Thank you for this welcome distraction from this HORRIBLE week!

Agreed I didn't present the most varied selection; wasn't thinking clearly.
It’s not your fault. Many designers just don’t like fat chicks. 😜
