You are so cute, Leandra! I am rolling on the floor, laughing about the pregnant scarecrow vibe. As a 67-year-old semi gray shrew )it is too hot this summer) I am embracing the Italian matriarch fashion vibe! Brava chica

This reminds me, I need to pull out my silk scarf collection. Glad to see them making a wave! x

H&M has been crushing it lately. i got those H&M cargo shorts a few weeks ago. for some odd reason, they remind me of a straightjacket but i love them. fun to see how you wear them. loving all the scarf ideas as well.

The shorts have been the hero of my summer! Not even sure how I came across them but expecting they’ll be one of those lifer items you didn’t anticipate came from the valley of fast fashion. I have a few of those !

Curious about the chunky silver bracelet in the outfit with silver scarf and shoes. Would you mind sharing the source? Crossing my fingers it's not one-of-a-kind vintage! Thanks!

Outfit 1 - the Prada sunglasses with the electric blue scarf/headband really brought your skin tone out ... a look I'd like to mimic with platinum/blonde hair and a ruddy/pale complexion toned down with an tinted moisturizer... what color scarf might work?

Red or pink scarf, blue or tortoise/green sunglasses??

Perfect, I’ll go for it. (Pink, not red!)

Wish you could send a pic through here so we could see it! Are you in our Slack (used to be Geneva) group? Basically an ongoing group text with subscribers sending outfit selfies to each other. It's fun!

No, I’m not on it. I’m on something where people are looking for or selling items. Is it the same thing?

I’m not photogenic so I avoid selfies like the plague. I guess I can make one or two exceptions when I feel like I nailed it.

I went out looking for tortoiseshell sunglasses and guess what I accidentally found? A high end consignment shop. I’ll be going tomorrow to see what it’s like to shop gently worn, or whatever the lingo is, and it’s because a few articles ago you asked why I’d never tried it.

You are encouraging me to step out of my comfort zone. I wish my mother were still alive to see this in action. :)

Is that Geneva? That you’re in? Sadly they very abruptly cut off service to the UK and EU at the end of July so we moved over to Slack. It’s a great resource for style ideas, bouncing opinions off each other and just connecting with likeminded (and very kind) subscribers to this newsletter. Want to join us? Will email you the link if so !
