I woke up dreaming of limbo outfits, some color, some pattern but it's a freezing, rainy, dreary day in New England today. So for a day of zoom meetings and a few errands I'm going to channel my inner Tonne Goodman w/ a pair of white jeans and a black turtleneck. That works, right? It's basically never wrong! (But do love some of your typically wonderful whimsy here!)
Not as effervescent in the city today either. Wearing low rise jeans rolled up with grey socks, blue suede driving loafers, a tie dye crew neck sweater and an a-line leopard print coat 🫠
What took you to Paris? I am always so in awe by people who pick up and move. The early days must bring you so close to yourself in so many ways. Question though: do you always feel like you have to dress to guard yourself? Not a leading q! Something I think about often lately as I’ve discovered the distinction between clothes that open you up and those that keep you closed
And finally: I wear a small in LMND. So I’d say they are pretty true, although I’m sure if you were to go for a medium it wouldn’t be a calamity. The sleeves are slightly cropped so at worst, they’ll
Ohhhh, well that concept I love — bulletproof dressing in a way. This reminds me of something I realized for the last few interviews I’ve done for the dressing series on here.

So. Much. Inspiration!!!!!!!!!!
So many excellent outfit ideas, Leandra!
You had me at Open Toe Gold Chanel Brouges. Only You.
This is more looks than I put together in a YEAR. Brava
It’s honestly the most fun part of the whole Substack thing (although I am starting to itch to start working on another book)
Do it!!
This skirt for example! https://kalmanovich.net/collections/spring-summer-2024/products/voluminous-taffeta-maxi-skirt Which they sent my way, and can vouch for (wearing it to my sister in law wedding next month)
Between you and Becky Malinsky I vow to attempt to wear a mini dress over pants!!! I can do hard (for me) things!
A signature move for me! But you’ll be surprised at how much easier it is than just wearing the damn dress plain 😁
what would you wear for a garden wedding in this limbo weather?
Do you know the brand Kalmanovich? It recently relaunched, and there are some great pieces there
A few things- where is your couch from?
and love these two shoes from Clarks we just brought in with all of your looks: https://interwovenap.com/collections/womens-shoes-1/products/clarks-torhill-bee and https://interwovenap.com/collections/womens-shoes-1/products/clarks-ritzy75-faye
