blanket statement
Friday, September 27
It's been a while since I last thought about wearing a bib necklace. A search on Le Catch reveals the exact date was January 2, 2013, when I wrote this post. However, from the current look of things in Paris, statement necklaces will now be top of mind--and front and center. Chloe's show yesterday ushered out bold and bohemian-spirited statement necklaces, brandished over coats or balanced by delicate lace. I'm game to jump in with this Mango, Zara, this vintage Paco Rabanne, Elizabeth Cole, Amazon, Ben Amun, and 8 Other Reasons.

Tagwalk already tallied up the data on today's Chloe's Spring 2025 runway show in Paris, and the results are in! The high concentration of signature lace and ruffles, along with voluminous silhouettes come as no surprise, but there were some delightful unexpected details that I can't wait to incorporate into my wardrobe. As in: I won't be waiting till next spring to wear all kinds of gold shell baubles, like this Kenneth Jay Lane, this Aureum, and this Ariel Gordon, along with pastels aplenty (yes and yes). And I will sling on a gold shell bag from Simkhai or this one sourced on Amazon (also tons of vintage options on Etsy). P.S. Better start making room for those jelly ankle-strap kitten-heel sandals and their copycats!

don't sweat it
Monday, September 23
My son's idea of "getting dressed" for school is throwing on a pair of baggy sweatpants. While it’s not my favorite look, I can’t help but admire his commitment to comfort—especially since I want to indulge my own today with the above head-to-toe Zara. The slit pant leg elevates them significantly; Styling them with a monochromatic sweatshirt and polished pointy-toe flats (rather than sneakers!) works wonders, too. You know that I rarely write about sweatpants, so these must be extra special to make an appearance here--and the ones highlighted in my latest Substack, below, are fresh off the press!
jacket required

I love a fashion trend that simplifies getting dressed. This fall, all I need to look up to date is jacket that doubles as a shirt--essentially, stand-alone outerwear with (almost) nothing underneath. I can facilitate this fresh look further with these slam-dunk options from Isabel Marant Etoile, Ganni, ASTR The Label, Sezane, and Free People. Keep in mind, details makes all the difference, such as the red corduroy collar on the Gucci jacket, below! P.S. I'd be tempted to not wear anything under the striking burgundy faux leather Topshop trench either!
