The thing about fashion is that it’s not art, but it’s also not math or physics—you may add 2 and 2 and get 4 for years until one day you don’t—style truths escape like water through my hands when I try to grasp them.
All those fantastic skirt outfits You show is here, are so appealing to me as a definite skirt person. So nice! I own an awful lot of skirts and realised looking back in my feed that I have weeks of only wearing skirts, especially midi skirts. They fit me well, much better than most dresses -I'm tall with a straight torso- but it's also due to the fact that there are so many good secondhand and vintage skirts out there...
I echo what’s already been written above and wonder if you maybe still have a couple of similar brooches in one of your saved searches 👀 I could be interested in one 🙌🏻
“style is one of the few realms where the absence of truth is bearable, even liberating. Certainties dissolve, and while unsettling, this dissolution holds no real consequence…when that scaffolding falters, when the style you once held tight no longer mirrors who you are, you let it go. You try something new.”
Clothes - to the extent that we give it any attention - they mirror our growth in so many ways, and I love what you said about the absence of truth/certainty being bearable, even liberating. It’s good to grow, and let our clothes follow…and also keep doors open for new directions onward!
So glad I found your newsletter - it’s been so nice reflecting on clothes on a deeper/fuller level, inspired by your writing 🤍
I love the way you put together outfits and the thoughts you share! I am still thinking about the piece you wrote about Ross.
In this one I really love the idea of personal style concepts as “scaffolding” meant to support us and then fall away when they no longer serve us. Incredible word picture.
I love the sentiment of ser and estar because I have evolved so much as a fashion person. I used to NOT be a sneakers person but that would be ser because now I very much am a sneaker person. Part of what I LOVE about fashion is the chance to evolve into and out of styles.
Yes! One of the few areas where we can change our mind without huge consequences. while there are certainties (e.g. skirts), I don’t feel like I have “arrived” at a place where I want to completely stop experimenting or embracing change. Like becoming a sneakers person!

I love the word scaffolding too. I didn’t learn it until I moved to NYC :)
I love your writing. It’s always a highlight to see one of your posts in my feed! ❤️
Likewise, dear Xue. Means a lot coming from you.
You have such an incredible sense of style and elegance in everything you wear.
💚thank you for being here, Patricia〰️
You have a very nice collection of skirts! Not to mention highlighting your outfits with bold accessories, such good ones.
Thank you, Chris💚
