Here are 15 pieces I just bought or own, and yes like 4 of them involve stripes. What can I say? I have a fever, and the only thing that can cure it is more stripes?
Shrugs are coming back into style which were such a staple of my teenage wardrobe for dances. I am shocked but also kind of enjoying the 90s resurgence!
I had a midnight blue stretch velvet extremely simple scoop neck tank dress with a matching shrug I wore to winter formal in the 90s and I can't stop thinking about it. Nicole Miller designed, I think?
Thank you for the recs! Are you still loving the cropped hoodie? There is a sage colorway on sale now if you haven’t seen it yet. May be adding to cart along with those sweet strawberry pieces.
Fellow Jcrew stan here. Hillary, was curious about the weight of the pleated shirt. okay for warmer temps too? Also, wanted to plug the pleated capeside chino short for those with thicker thighs and butt. I don’t do shorts but these feel fantastic.
I have not had success lately. I'd recommend: The Chaos Machine: The Inside Story of How Social Media Rewired Our Minds and Our World, by Max Fisher and Sociopath by Patric Gagne.
On my TBR I'm excited about: Lady Tan’s Circle of Women, Lisa See
I enjoy reading your work. The breezy way that you write seems like your speaking style is similar. Thanks for having book reviews. I do take your recommendations to heart.
The headband is sold out 😭😭😭 I wanted to buy the lemon dress so badly and tried it in store but after going up two sizes, it sadly still didn’t accommodate my chest.
J.Crew was one of the first brands to expand their sizes to 24 and as a plus sized woman that has made me a fan. I also have 2 30 year old men’s wool rollnecks that I bought on sale that I still wear. I love your choices. I’ve stocked up on the Etienne shirts this spring and I might have a few items in my cart.
Just a quick note…thank you for acknowledging the issues with Dolce that are generally ignored. 😉
The shell reference runs deep. Great post.
Ahahahhahahaha shells and tap pants: two articles of clothing from my youth we never mention any more!

The weight is seasonless to me. It's sturdy, but not heavy. I wear mine all summer long here in LA! And thanks for the shorts recco!
…like Sputnik, spherical but quite pointy at parts
Ha, you get it!!!! I was like...will anyone besides my SIL get the Axe Murderer reference? Phew.
So excited about the book recs next week!
me too; any good ones on your list rn?

Now I just wish that jcrew ran the same sales in Canada that they do in the states 😭💸
5,3,2,1,4?
I mean might as well try! My often forgotten jcrew cart is now overflowing! Will I check out?!
I've had these bras from Only Hearts for an embarrassingly long amount of time, but they hold up wonderfully and always seem to work under skinny strap tops and dresses - https://onlyhearts.com/collections/bras/products/whisper-sweet-nothings-demi-underwire-bra
