First of all YES TO FOUR WORDS! I love that. Second- I am SO INSPIRED and thrilled that this jacket makes you so happy. That’s what it’s alllllll about! When we react so intensely to an item - that’s our intuition at play and listening to it always delivers the best results.
The jeans!!! And the outcome is so close to the inspiration! I’m kind of jealous you get to go on fancy work events at St Regis hotel, and I think the jacket is not talked about enough!! x
Love the “dash-of” fourth word to round out your 3 words and seeing you bring it to life! So many fun pieces! And your jacket with the Toteme pants… what a stunner!!! x
Christina! Your ears must have been burning, I was just thinking about you. I’ll DM you! But yes!! These heels are COMFORTABLE! the heel is chunky enough to really support. And I love the two adjustable straps. So utilitarian!
Your posts helped me think about fast fashion and quantity over quality. I am reassessing items when I pick them up. Sadly, I am finding most quality pieces are dry clean only and it’s really not practical. Would love some everyday professional wear inspiration as well as styling trends for summer weddings. Anyway, love seeing the inspiration. Where is the black clutch and feather bag from?
I am obsessed with natural fiber + machine washable - I’m going to start a draft now so I don’t forget, this is a great idea for a post. I’ve spent SO much time searching for exactly this so I might as well share it!! Thank you!
The black clutch is amazing! I’ve had it for a while (two years I think?) and use it a TON and it also has a strap to make it cross body. 10/10 recommend! It’s from Anthro and it’s $80 which is a great price! https://go.shopmy.us/p-19615757 and the feather bag is amazon - it’s fun! But not practical haha https://a.co/d/9Caroni
I was thinking for a wedding I have coming up, but I would need the clutch to hold a phone, keys, etc. but they seemed so cute in that impractical way that shouts I’m not almost 40! Looking forward for the post! Literally was at Nordstrom for a hot second on my way home and kept putting everything back that I liked because now I check labels. I add in the cost of dry cleaning for a year for a dry clean only item and often it’s more expensive than the item so it isn’t even worth it.
Hi!! I’m glad the dash of fab is hitting home!! I bought the jacket in a medium first because I couldn’t remember what size I tried in the store. I’m typically a small in tops, but I don’t mind sizing up so the medium felt like a safe bet. But it was too big and it’s a proportion-sensitive piece so I exchanged it for the small. So I would def say TTS!!
I’m spending my Friday night going down a printed jacket rabbit hole, and I can’t say that I’m terribly upset about it!
Interestingly (though not surprisingly when I think about one of my high school teachers who always had this style), there’s a lot of Chico’s printed jackets out there
And some other brands and vintage/secondhand pieces. Lots to work with if you’re looking for a post idea for statement jackets!
omg that meme you made! hahahaha i'm obsessed with you. also obsessed with the JACKET (keep her comin') and those b sides jeans that will be making a home on my wishlist starting now.
I hoped at least one Office fan would appreciate it. It’s our fall asleep rewatch show and even though we’ve seen that episode a million times, my husband always rewinds that scene to watch it again hahah. YES ADD THE B SIDES TO YOUR WISHLIST! They’re so fun!
It’s one of the only shows I can truly watch over and over again and laugh EVERY single time. In fact, loling just thinking about it. Anyway, happy Friday. You’re fabulous.
Ohhhh I am kicking myself I didn’t take a pic of the tag before I threw it out! And the TRR listing doesn’t say of course. But that name sounds right from when I glanced at the tag for a millisecond!!
That jacket is just amazing! And if four words are right for you at the moment, I'm here for it. We keep evolving so maybe our words need to evolve as well.
Amazing post as always and I have so many thoughts! First, I love your transparency, am fully here for your ShopMy and clicked on many links. Those Chan Luu earrings are gorgeous. Your TRR jeans look amazing and how exciting that they were NWT - what . a. find. Your hair is getting so long! Your Isabel Marant jacket is also gorgeous and a statement piece that you'll wear for years. I'm so into fully sheer everything, I'm putting that BR skirt on my secondhand wishlist.
I thought of you with the sheer skirt!! I do love it, but I just never wear the thing that needs another thing (I would have to wear a slip). But it’s the SOFTEST most comfortable thing otherwise! Def look out for it second hand!

2025 is my year of full body yeses! And I think more in-person shopping too. I never would have found that jacket online!
In person shopping is truly the best revisit ever. It’s how I found the Athleta pants!
The jeans!!! And the outcome is so close to the inspiration! I’m kind of jealous you get to go on fancy work events at St Regis hotel, and I think the jacket is not talked about enough!! x
Hahah thank you! I was laughing at myself talking about the jacket so much, but when it’s love, it’s love! Shouting from the Substack rooftops hahaha
I love the white flats, where are they from??
Thanks!! They are old from Mansur Gavriel (the glove flat) but these at Banana Republic are veryyyyy similar! https://go.shopmy.us/p-20687235
My girlfriend and I both have fluffy JW Anderson bags and we refer to them as our therapy bags. Like a therapy dog… but less maintenance.
Yessssss wait I need to see your bag! I love JW Anderson!
Love the “dash-of” fourth word to round out your 3 words and seeing you bring it to life! So many fun pieces! And your jacket with the Toteme pants… what a stunner!!! x
Thank you, friend!! We have to write our own “rules” haha if you can even call them that!
Those madewell shoes are making me reconsider my no heel rule!!! Love the chunkiness of them!

You’ve hooked me on the jacket along with the dash of fab idea!
Do you mind sharing what size you got in the jacket? No where nearby to try it on in person, so any guidance would be appreciated.

A deep dive and roundup on statement jackets is a fantastic idea! I bet some of those Chico’s jackets are amazing though, for real!

Every time. It never gets old! Happy Friday to you too and right back at you!!!
And could I check, are your jeans the Marcel crop? x
Ohhhh I am kicking myself I didn’t take a pic of the tag before I threw it out! And the TRR listing doesn’t say of course. But that name sounds right from when I glanced at the tag for a millisecond!!
Great! Would you mind me asking how’s sizing, and inner leg measurement? I’m usually a 27” in Levi’s and wondering if these are similar in sizing x
I am typically a 27 too! These are a 28, the inseam a little shy of 27”. The TRR listing outlined this:
Waist: 32.5"
Hip: 39.25"
Rise: 12"
Inseam: 26.75"
Leg Opening: 16.5"
Super helpful, thank you!
Love this Emily! All your gorgeous treasures and how you style them! You have SUCH a good eye ❤️
Thank you, Jenny!!!!

Sometimes you just need to break a totally arbitrary rule hahaha!

The B Sides!! They're perfect
I lovvvvvve them! Thank you!!!!
I love a follow up!!! The jeans were made for you.
Thank you!!! I’m so glad they worked out, they had been sitting in my TRR hearts forEVER!
I love this era of Emily SHOPPING!! it's seems like a year of mostly *not shopping* really helped you hone your preferences!
1000000% it did! And I’m having so much fun shopping with clarity now!
