I'm late to this but hope you're feeling better!

Great self-reflection on where you are stylewise. I've not reflected on the summer season yet, since we're still in it, although as it winds down, it's a good time to do it, and take stock for an edit and preparing for fall!

Thanks so much everyone - definitely on the mend and very grateful that I've had the ability to fully rest and recover. I'm sure I'll be much more back to normal for next week.

Jules, yes! I love Garage too - DD loves it and I have to admit I've bought things there in the past for myself. Glad you are finding some good inspiration at Dynamite; they've got some gems for sure. Hope you find some good fall stuff!

I'm so sorry about the Covid. It seems to be virtually impossible to escape it now. Sigh.... I hope you are feeling better.

LOVE your new jacket! What a fab purchase for you -- it will add some energy all in itself. Fun textural interest.

I haven't done an analysis of the summer yet, nor have I really thought ahead much to fall. But I'm pretty sure I know my MVPs and can show them. As you can see -- life is casual.

I bought a lot of undies this summer (basics) and some sale sandals and sneakers to replace worn out ones ahead of next season, along with a few items for the fall. But I did not shop a lot and don't think I will shop much in the autumn, either, except maybe in consignment stores. We shall see.

Helena, I am sorry you got Covid. I am hearing of more cases and suspect that it is a newer variant as some have had it before.
