Kelly and Samantha… I regret to inform you that this shirt was decidedly NOT Matteau. If it had been a knockoff that was still cotton or silk, that wouldn’t bother me, but it’s definitely polyester, and the tag is a bit different. I’m still glad I got it, because I would have always wondered, and I’m only out $9, but mostly I’m embarrassed.. there are so many “too good to be true” thredUP stories that actually ARE true and I guess I thought this one might be one of them!!! Also just seems like a niche brand to knock off.

Omg noooooooo! I’m so glad you only spent $9 but I’m sorry it turned out to be fake! At least now you don’t have to be precious with it and I’m still excited to see you style it!

That Matteau shirt is a FIND! Can't wait to see how you style it. I was likewise inspired by your deft use of Rent the Runway to supplement your wardrobe to try Nuuly for the first time (I didn't need anything RTR-level exciting, just elevated basics that will fit me postpartum).

Yes!! I haven’t used RTR explicitly for that purpose but I think for people whose weight fluctuates between multiple sizes, a service like that can be incredibly helpful - and freeing!

You are so good! You should represent the US at the Olympics for this. Do you watch Brittany Bathgate? She has your shirt and I love watching her vlogs ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=cjn6hO3m3b0

And YES I have a used R13 vest with a shredded bottom ;-)

Ohhh nice read as always. Love Apiece Apart and those pants! I bought an Anna Quan dress I have been wanting on TRR for 160 and a hat from Clyde at a friends closet sale. The hat I adore it has those straps that you can tie so it doesn’t fly off. I love it! Lastly I took advantage of the ssense sale and bought the Bottega sunglasses in tortoiseshell. They were a splurge even at 33% off but for some reason I never find sunglasses I’m in love with.
