in love with linen--pip squeak chapeau button down shirts and wiksten dresses
my closet is looking quite barren these days. i guess i was a little too strict when i started wardrobe purging a couple of years ago. my shopping list post-baby grows ever longer...oversized linen button down shirts from pip-squeak chapeau, mark mcnairy boots (i swear my feet are going to go up another half-size), current/elliott roller jeans in pastel shades and a denim shirt, and if i'm lucky, this wiksten valentine dress. i'm normally not a tie-dye person, but i do love how it turned out on linen. i guess there will only be 3 available, and the upload will probably happen during my lunch meeting this thursday, so i'll just have to admire from afar.


I think it's never a bad thing to clean out the wardrobe - I think I only regretted selling one thing once but now I can't recall what it was, so clearly it wasn't too important! I feel like the past year I have a clearer sense of what I really will wear for years, not things that will fall to side and be forgotten. (Lately my uniform is a uniqlo shirt, the STA jeans, and no 6's.)
ReplyDeleteI should tell you I made a button down! I'm excited to show you :)
I was never into linen before, but lately I just can't stop. I've been looking at that line's Batist shirts to inspire my next trip to the tailor.
ReplyDeleteI am seriously obsessed with linen. It gets softer with every wash and is a remarkably sturdy fabric.
ReplyDeleteLucky you, Jocy, with ready access to affordable tailors! I wish I had taken more advantage of it while in Vietnam for a month.
Julia, a button down! Can't wait to see all of your new clothing designs. I also can't wait to fit into my STA jeans again this summer. How are your no.6s holding up?
