This means a lot coming from you and Kelly! I honestly had some doubts writing this list because I felt like everyone was already writing about the same things. I’m so glad you enjoyed! 🫶🏼

First of all, I absolutely adore your writing and perspective and I promise no one is rolling their eyes. However, I understand it can feel very cringey to put yourself out there but I promise you there are so many more people like me who adore and look forward to each one of your letters. You and your writing are truly one of my favorites.

I would love a butter yellow sweater (and I've given myself to the task to see if I can find an vintage option). I also feel like its the second year butter yellow is making its rounds or maybe I'm making that up lol

Also I LOVE denim on denim and I'm so happy to see you rocking it. It looks so fab on you!!

Ofelia, your support seriously means the world to me. 🥺I feel the same way about you and your Substack (I literally tell my husband all the time about my cool, chic Paris Substack friend and show him your letters for picture references of course!)

That’s funny you say that about butter yellow because some of the articles I was reading about it were dated 2024, so you’re definitely not wrong.

I honestly didn’t think I could pull off the denim-on-denim, but I’m so glad I tried! x

I also got pulled in to the butter yellow! I own an old shirt that’s a soft yellow but recently added a spring bag and it just helps add some happiness to my otherwise neutral looks. And when it comes to putting ourselves out there on the internet, I think we are so lucky to have a creative outlet that’s so nourishing and supportive ❤️ Judgement has everything to do with the person judging than anything to do with you!

Love this, Angie! It’s so true and is exactly what I tell my kids, too. Thank you for always being so supportive! And I need more details on your spring bag!! Can’t wait to see it. x

I literally just ordered a butter yellow cashmere tee from Quince and am dying to wear but it’s going to be in the 80s here all this week! 🙄 Will have to wait for the May gray to hit. Adored this Maria!!

Thank you, Sogole!! Can’t wait to see you style it! A cashmere tee is something I’m missing in my wardrobe - please report back and tell us if you recommend the Quince one! x

Yes to butter yellow and Canadian tuxedos! I also own that Frank & Eileen shirt, it’s so good! And I am dying to watch Materialists — I’m obsessed with a classic 2000s romcom 💕 this was such a fun read!

Bravo Maria👏. I enjoyed this read, so timely!!! The fashion trends, what to read, listen to, and watch. Of course, the White Lotus....can't get over it, it's been 4 days since the WL finale and I am still aching🥲.

Loving the Canadian tuxedo with brown accessories! Somehow the brown brings a bit more interest to the outfit than black.

Thanks for reading!! The brown accessories are definitely a softer contrast. x

Love the denim button down! So good! And I totally feel you on the feeling self-conscious on writing a Substack, it’s such a complicated thing. But then I remind myself - I’m actually such a curious person, I would LOVE if anyone I peripherally knew wrote a substack, I shouldn’t assume people are judging me. People love internet content and someone’s gotta make it! Might as well be us!

Such a good way of looking at it! And I love that that seems to be the general sentiment because it’s definitely not what I assumed. Thanks so much for reading, Emily!! x

This was such a lovely post to read on a cold and rainy Saturday afternoon! I loooove your denim-on-denim look, and that coat pulls the whole chic vibe together beautifully! I am also a huge fan of Merit, can’t wait for the White Lotus finale, and I am so glad you are writing and sharing your thoughts and taste with all of us, we are so lucky!
