I’m in Florida so we need multiple swimsuits each season as you know. When I talk to northerners with short summers, it blows my mind that they hve 1 and maybe 2 swimsuits- for years😳

Just bought 4 swimsuits for this season on j. crew sale + extra 60% off over Labor Day. 3 one pieces and 1 bikini- just to tan all the soft parts!! Cellulite always looks better tan🤓

Uniqlo is well made clothing that lasts. I have promoted the brand from the fast fashion bucket to buy-and-wear-100-times bucket.

Agreed that it lasts!!! I have never been disappointed by quality there. I think I put it in the fast fashion bucket because I do not know what their labor practices look like

Love that Florida hat! I hope Oh, Mary is still playing the next time I make it to NYC. I splurged way too much with sales this last weekend but bought a great pair of jeans from Fashion Brand Company that I don’t regret buying.

I would not categorize Uniqlo as fast fashion exactly, agree with Neela on that one. Those shirts look like they'll last you for a good many years! (I still have cotton Uniqlo tees from over a decade ago.) PS The Florida hat is so good! It's giving some Loewe x Paula's Ibiza vibes, but FL 👌🏻

Wow love that comparison! Bet it cost a lot less 😂 and yeah, I think I consider it fast fashion because I don’t know enough about their labor practices but you’re totally right that there’s a difference between them and an H&M or Zara in terms of volume and quality

Those Mary Jane’s are so cute! I’ve been wanting some too but can’t find the right pair. And I’m also looking into getting back into belts. I’m 5 months postpartum so recently bought a pair of jeans! I thought I’d avoid them forever but with my partners encouragement, I got them anyway. I decided to wear things that make me feel good now instead of waiting 🥰

This has also been the year of the belt for me. I wasn’t wearing them much prior to this year. I have a pair of silver Onitsuka tiger shoes coming in the mail today. I think they will be great for summer and wanted something supportive as my feet continue to heel from breaking my toes in February.

Unfortunately the big toe and its neighbor after falling down my uncarpeted basement stairs in cute Rachel Comey boots.
