This is from a while ago but I loved looking at all these shoe storage ideas, even if some are deeply impractical. https://simplyspaced.com/2016/.....ize-shoes/

A simplified version of Kibbe- with only 3 types! It's a little odd cause what they call "straight" is what I call curvy, and "wavy" body types are straight figured- but style recs are helpful.

I also liked this one on deep vs dark, which are used interchangably but not the same.

This thoughtful essay really articulated my suspicions that I veered towards being too matchy matchy, and what the difference is between matching and coordinating. I bookmarked it so I could read it again when I needed a refresher!

I've been making my way through the last season of Articles of Interest and loving every show. This one, about the Corduroy Appreciation Club, is very funny and particularly apt for those who love this fabric on cold winter days. https://articlesofinterest.sub.....ation-club

Thanks, Suz! I'm a big corduroy fan, too. I haven't found that perfect corduroy suit yet, but I'm on Team Book Club.

An interesting article, from a menswear perspective (but relevant to everyone), discussing how to build a sustainable wardrobe. I particularly enjoyed the advice about creating "emotional durability" by building attachment and having items that we continue to love and wear.

I originally saw this on Wardrobe Oxygen and it stuck with me. The LA Times theorizes that malls may not be dead after all, thanks to a generation of young people that yearns for connection.

Here's the NY Times Best Underwear Review for 2024. Have to agree that Tommy John rocks! Those are the knickers I wear, although a prettier version with a bit of lace. Well worth the price. Fits, lasts, looks good, feels good, and launders well.

Roberta, thanks for the link to the matchy-matchy essay. I avoid matching a bag to shoes, although it happens sometimes with black. I couldn’t explain it myself but she has done a wonderful job illustrating the difference. In my opinion, this should be a must read!

This video on "Stop Idolizing Coco Chanel: a shocking history of theft" was a fascinating watch. It's not sensationalistic but is very well researched. (The author is an acquaintance of mine - I highly respect her scholarship - but I stumbled across the video by accident.)
