I have also been #influenced re the salomon sneakers and I’m sure they are cool, but I know in my heart I will look like a middle aged lady on a hike once they’re on my feet ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ the tibi pants are so dreamy - tibi is having an archive sale in a bit and I am thinking of going bcs everyone stylish on Substack wears it so well, will prob still be out of my price range but good for trying things on maybe?? https://www.chicmi.com/event/tibi-archive-sale-new-york/?ri=327223
Re: weird shirts! I saw a little video on here the other day of someone who basically hacked a version of the lemaire shirt. She did it by sewing a little button onto the side seam of her oversized button up shirt, and then crossed over the placket to button it asymmetrically at that side seam. I have no idea who it was but if I can find it, I’ll link!
lol just sent you the video but I see you’ve already come across it and commented 🙃 sorry for spamming! Love to know how it turns out if you end up giving it a try!
Feeling roasted as I too am actively falling prey to the Havaianas propaganda, and I also own the exact Salomons pictured here lol. They are my nighttime going out shoes and they are perfect for that if u are a gorpy 30-something responsible raver w no tolerance for foot discomfort!!!
Ooh I've been a fan of Melissa Munro for a long time. I've always wanted to hack my own men's shirt using her techniques (her Youtube channel is great).
I am so happy the gospel of my Jcrew sale find is spreading! I loved everything about this post. (And I, too, caved and got the black Salomons. They are actually perfect--I wear them hiking, on walks, and with cute outfits. I wish I got them sooner!)
So many positive Salomon reviews in the comments! Noted! And thanks for the J Crew inspiration - another IRL friend bought the skirt after seeing it on me as well !
Great post! We are simpatico in many ways. I also love Damson Madder and your new pink skirt is a hit. I love the ramie white skirt you got, and I also coveted that top Viv posted about. Isn’t being ghosted by sellers the pits? I just got yet another refund from a Poshmark seller who never sent my purchase. Lastly, I’d love a post on Weird Shirts!
Manifesting the right color/size combo of a Melissa Munro shirt for you (and for me—a personal accomplishment after an extended shilling campaign) 🙇♀️
You’ll have to pry me away from my overinflated confidence in my sewing abilities first (not that I think my sewing is any good, just that even if it’s bad, it all works out in the end)
The one that really piques my interest (as someone who knows and must remind herself that she doesn’t often wear long-sleeve shirts) is the weekday—I love that back vent! And Melissa styles them so temptingly
omg I just ordered that j crew skirt on mega sale last night after being influenced seeing heather/pigmami wearing it a ton on tt lately! 🙈 I also have felt the pull of salomons but haven’t pulled the trigger, I already have cecilie bahnsen asics that fill that need & like the look of more.
Cecilie Bahnsen Asics are probably much closer to what I would actually want/wear tbh! Wow... is this skirt The Skirt of the summer?! Can't wait to see how you style it!
you would absolutely rock salomons and im surprised you don’t already own a pair tbh
You guysss (okay FINE once it’s sock weather again maybe I’ll try them on)
Honestly seconding, you would look fantastic in them tbh!! Sorry to fail at deinfluencing lol
hahah I can’t deinfluence them either they’re some of the best shoes I own
Skirt sisters!! I’m so glad we are in this club together with Maurene!
That Uniqlo jacket is VERY good. I love the crop element.
PS- I’m going to find a shirt-maker for you that I follow that MAY scratch your weird shirt itch!!
Yes!!! Would love to see another Weird Shirt!

Ahaha fate intervening to save your wallet 😂

lol no worries, nice to know that people are on the lookout for Weird Shirts for me!!

lol no roasting intended!! good to know re: Salomon comfort (I too have no tolerance for uncomfortable shoes)
Ooh I've been a fan of Melissa Munro for a long time. I've always wanted to hack my own men's shirt using her techniques (her Youtube channel is great).
I also saw these shirts at a local vintage shop and immediately thought of you lol https://www.thewanderly.com/products/red-treasure-island-tee-copy https://www.thewanderly.com/products/blue-yellow-youth-varsity-tee-copy
Omg that Florida map one is amazing !! If it would fit me I’d have bought it - what a find :)

this makes me so happy!
This is such a satisfying read! And I too am a total Florida t shirt lover! My favorite says Miami High Stingrays xoxoxo
did you see this post?! https://rabbitfurcoat.substack.com/p/zigzag-state-of-mind - I thought about your Miami High shirt when I was writing it!
You remembered 🥰
I’m so glad you bought skirts this summer!!! Branching out!!!! Surviving heat waves!!!
barely! 🥵
If you want to be deinfluenced, I used to own that vintage coach bag in a slightly larger size and I never wore it because it was too heavy 🤷♀️
Perfect thank you!! lol

I love my Melissa Munro shirts! I have an everyday & weekender. I’m coveting the sleeveless blazers she’s teasing on her instagram.

I cannot join in the flip-flop-ocalypse. They are just too hard on my feet!
I also have a penchant for weird shirts! I used to have one with uneven hems and “windows” on the arms.
Love that pink skirt!
