My favorite part of fashion is when a new style impulse (not quite a trend, more like a tendency) starts to take heed at such a degree of magnitude that it becomes a trend, but also not because by the rules of whatever this thing is, the best way to participate is on your own terms, with your own stuff.
So happy to see Boheme Goods on here. Sarah is from Vancouver, she designs and releases small batch - beautiful linens, cottons and knits that are PERFECT for summer, holidays and LIFE. I had on her brown linen pants yesterday and rolled them for that perfect custom length 👩🍳💋
I would like to suggest that the look from Auralee’s Men’s Spring 2025 show was actually inspired by you, LMC! Can you see it? The button down. No pants vibe, the hair…
Love this and what about skirts? I've been rolling mine over of late too - you? Thanks for introduction to MOC and Trois too- it's as much about the top as the bottom for me & they're 2 very solid tops I now have in my cart...
Separately, I got the fringe jacket I floated recently and would love your thoughts on whether you think it works & w the raffia cowgirl hat (for an upcoming winter western themed party)? https://rachelmounsey.com/wild-winter-west/
2 questions:
1. I think the black shrug beats the sheer bodysuit as an underlay/layer, probably because it offers some structure to the dress when the coat is off (ie, dance time)? Also, it's mighty cold here atm and so a warmer option. Yay or nay?
2. Also, really hoping the raffia hat works because she's mine already too, so I'd be ready to go!? But pls feel free to tell me your honest thoughts... thanking you in advance X
I can borrow the black one, if you think black would look better w the outfit. Shrug or bodysuit is the layer under coat for when I take the coat off (to dance or just feel bit lighter). They cover my arms but less heavy…I’m a layers girl I always like to have my skin covered anyway 🤣- does that make sense?
Naww you’re the best thank you so much 💙💙💙. Do you prefer the black shrug to the mesh bodysuit (can see it in pic of half coat on/half off) as the underlay?
THIS!!!! "Where fashion can feel like freedom, or an unlock (you can use what you have to look how you want!) as opposed to a prison of inadequacy (you’ll never be good enough until you have X)."
This freedom, this unlock, I can hear it, I can read it, I can visualize it through you, but it's something that feels so far away for me. This is something (that I haven't been able to put into words until now) I am constantly struggling with.
This freedom feels so far away... the city I live in that doesn't promote individuality like NYC, the idea of tsnius, this ideology I've been grasping for air with, this freedom, that purity of being able to choose for ourselves, feel free and alive, and then content regardless of others.. feels more heavy, unattainable... because I am contained, so how can I express it when creativity flows from that freedom.
good catholic girl that i am, i almost always commit retail sins upon reading this newsletter. i just wish banana would reprise their sold-out white lotus matteau pant alts. if i’m gonna commit sins, i prefer them to be affordable! but as you point out, there are many ways to skin a fisherman pant. oh, and i love seeing how you interpret the various runway looks.
yesss! i just saw this gal i follow on ig take a pair of SIZE 44 busted-up vintage levi’s and do a crossover button thingy to make them low-slung. talk about agency! so cool

I should be so lucky…
LOVE THE OFF THE SHOULDER SILK TOP ! The fit is too good.Can you recommend one that is under 600 usd?
When is the mezuzah necklace going on the Aflalo website? The link doesn’t take us there…
It was supposed to go up yesterday!! There must have been a bug. Back to you soon. I’m sorry 🫠

Love the pairing!! Wish the sides of the brim on the hat curled in but that’s totally a personal preference thing. Have fun!!!!!!!!
And I could otherwise do this hat? https://lackofcolor.com.au/products/the-ridge-black?variant=42988373770440&tw_source=google&tw_adid=&tw_campaign=22674969724&tw_kwdid=&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=22674970708&gbraid=0AAAAADMpEGvHePc9s6BuRr_tARhVEShqu&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI9772j7rGjgMVSCyDAx2YPx5JEAQYASABEgJbe_D_BwE
I don’t think you have to get another hat! Doesn’t seem worth it. I don’t understand where the shrug/body suit come into play

I’m 5.1 so this trick is pretty much inherent to me in order to make anything not drag in the ground.
Hi Link for the fabulous mezuzah necklace takes me to Aflalo but no necklace???
Same
