Your "theater" look is my preferred state of being. I do wish Kule would do more solid colors in their tee, although the Cos one looks pretty close in fit.
I love the color red as being a bridge of a layer to tie in an outfit, like the equivalent of a red lip, now it is a red t-shirt. It reminds me of the book Jitterbug Perfume by Tom Robbins, where he describes beets as being the only vegetable that leaves an imprint of where it has been. You always know a beet as been there by the smear of red wherever it has been. The color red evokes feelings of love and passion and with that being the color to tie in an outfit or the perfect finishing touch to a rather ho-hum variety of clothing or items that do not necessarily go together into a stnning outfit is the joy and brightness we need these days. Love this.
This is such a great post - thank you! What tees do you like for under blazers? Because sometimes the boxy, stiffer tees can bunch up underneath? Or for doing the half tuck thing into something slimmer on bottom (like a 90s maxi tube skirt) - is the half-tuck still a thing?
Good q! This tee doesn’t bunch up under a blazer and actually I tend to find that it’s the smaller blazers that cause the awkward tee effect. Is that the case for you too? Are the blazers mostly oversize or pretty fitted ?
Hi! That is an old dress from a brand that no longer exists. I think it's the combo of delicate floral and cascading layers that make it special, which I mention because the details might help launch a search for something similar? Ulla Johnson seems to have the market cornered currently on "romantic" dresses
Yes, it’s so beautiful for exactly those reasons. I suspected it might be vintage as I haven’t seen anything similar recently. Will try Ulla Johnson. Thank you!!

Arket doesn't ship to the US yet, which is such a bummer. Are you familiar with Soeur? I recently found it on Instagram. Great brand too
