Not wanting anything, and then wanting everything, describes me to a tee! This newsletter is one of those “everything” moments.

Eeekk sorry, lol! I've been reflecting a lot on those phases, because even though I'm feeling a bit guilty for wanting it all, I also don't really have regrets because I've been getting so much use out of what I bought and am actually happy with my purchases. So both can be true! x

So many great finds here Maria! Lots of things added to my list and as usual you look so chic!

Maria Hyde's avatar

That means so much. Thank you, Natalia! Appreciate you reading and your kind words! x

Lovely!! Also love Flore Flore but agree they stretch so might get regular size next time (but the Esme is small) also what size are you in the blue Commesi shirt? I always end up getting shirt that is too long in the back! And I’m 166cm. But this one looks very good. Also beautiful shade of blue.

I love the length of the Comme Si one - I definitely don't find it too long. It's such a nice, well-made shirt. I got a size XS and it fits oversized but not overly big. It's got the perfect relaxed silhouette. Thanks so much for reading! x

Your black button-up is an excellent score and length. You wear button-ups so well :) I feel the same way about windbreakers - I love them on other people and have been casually browsing secondhand, but feel like I probably wouldn't wear one enough to make it worth it. The Oak + Fort version looks great on you fwiw!

Maria Hyde's avatar

Thanks, Tina! I was surprised by how much I loved the Oak + Fort one and trying it on kind of convinced me that it is something I could see myself getting a lot of wear out of. It's on my 'maybe' list (need to prioritize my shopping!) But you also make a great point about checking secondhand options. I love your influence over me! x

You're doing it all yourself friend :) And finding so many gems, I'm impressed!

Maria, that Doen dress looks stunning on you!!! I have a black organic cotton shirt from Gap in petite sizing, wore it a lot last year, it’s been a good purchase, in case you want to give that one a try :)

Maria Hyde's avatar

Oooh thank you for that tip! I'll check out that Gap one. The Doen dress is definitely on my wishlist now. Thank you for reading! x

Love the way you brought the layered white tee inspo to life!

Maria Hyde's avatar

Thanks, Elin! I still need to experiment and try the look with different colours! x

Can't stop wearing them, they're sooo good! x

These are some of my favorite posts, Maria!! So glad that Elle and my investigation inspired you to get those black Sambas - I clocked your pic in the Comme Si when I was writing my blue shirt opus and thought “she looks perfect!”

Maria Hyde's avatar

I tried on the sneakers that day, and then saw your post and thought it was a sign! Loved the roundup you and Elle did. And thank you - your blue shirt post was so good, and I loved the Comme Si shirt on you, too! I'm actually wearing it again right now! x

I love this category from you so much – your purchase reviews genuinely have me influenced every single time. And the black shirt?! Obsessed. I can totally picture it with a white or grey tank also layered OVER the shirt. What do you think?

Maria Hyde's avatar

OK, I love that idea of a tank layered over the black shirt! Even a black tank layered over for something monochromatic. You've got the ideas flowing. Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Marie! x

Omfg, Maria— the Quinn dress on you!!! My jaw dropped!!! Lots of screenshots were taken, I have a black button down that will be closet rotting no more!

Maria Hyde's avatar

Your comments are always the best. Thanks, Traci!! Gonna be saving up for that Quinn dress - I loved it so much. x

Oh my god this black shirt is everything! And I will definitely try that mask—your skin is GLOWING, so excited!

Maria Hyde's avatar

That's so sweet - thank you!! The mask is incredible. Let me know what you think if you ever try it! x

Always enjoy your post, and outfit choices! The mesh flat, what size did you end up buying? I'm size 6, as a reference.

Maria Hyde's avatar

Thanks, Natalia! I have very small feet and am normally in between a size 4 and 5 depending on the brand, and I ended up getting a size 35 in the mesh flats. I had to get some clear insoles for them because they were a bit loose, but I think they're pretty true to size. x

Love your posts, always, Maria! You look amazing in everything here but I really appreciate how you run us through your own thinking on the purchases and try-ons! 🤍

Maria Hyde's avatar

That means so much! Thank you for reading, Antonia! x

So many great choices and I really get the thing with the raglan tee — it is just perfect in fit and Color!

Maria Hyde's avatar

Thanks, Kinga! The raglan tee has been one of my favourite things to wear on repeat lately. It's such an easy, everyday shirt! x
