1) The art of making and not making plans. (The New York Times)

2) Test drive a fall trend with these $27 pointy-toe smoking flats before committing to a pricier pair.

3) Should you break your day up into 100 10 minute blocks? (Wait But Why)

4) Add a festive brooch to this sapphire velvet dress from Felicity & Coco for a chic holiday look.

5) How to bounce back from a job rejection. (The Everygirl)

6) I spotted this side-split tweed skirt from Halogen at the store. Much prettier in person.

7) Good Girls Revolt: The legacy of the Newsweek lawsuit. (Newsweek)

8) Lace-up henleys are big right now.  I love this H&M top, and this animal print lace up blouse.

    I have the side-split tweed skirt from Nordstrom. Confirmed that it is much cuter in person than online. I prefer wearing it with black tights because I found my (glaringly) pale legs to be too much of a contrast. Note that it runs very true to size / a bit on the snug side – there is absolutely no stretch in the tweed. Worth it, though.

Three Outfits I’ll Wear All Spring

When I started this blog, influencers still re-wore clothes. There were no haul videos filled with the latest from Shein before it winds up in a beach in Ghana poisoning the planet. There were no sponsored campaigns delivering fresh wardrobes each month. The content machine doesn’t like reruns.

The Find: Like a McCall’s Pattern

When I was young, my Mother used to bring me along when she would go shopping for fabric. As a result, I spent a lot of time, killing time, flipping through pattern books. So when I spotted this dress, I was instantly transported to the pattern table at a Jo-Ann Fabrics.
