Thank you!! I hope the vest is good I’m a little worried about it being too formal for my lifestyle but I’m looking forward to finding ways to dress it down
My interpretation of Amy S's dislike of linen is that it's kind of a trope for women of a certain age to be wearing it. She seems to think linen is inherently dowdy. I'm in my mid-40s, and these are the kinds of broad sentiments that irk me as I look forward to aging proudly. All one has to do is look to vintage to know that natural fibers including linen can in fact be elegant and cool, and they don't have to give Eileen Fisher (fwiw I love Eileen Fisher).
Wow those are some beautiful pieces. I think your interpretation of Amy’s dislike of linen is correct - she must associate it with old age. I also like Eileen Fisher I wouldn’t want to dress head to toe on it but it has its place.
It’s really great I wear it all the time as a lightweight layer. And it seems like it wasn’t a very popular item I’m not sure why but hopefully that means you’ll be able to find it for a good price 😊
Love the pink skirt + muscle tank combo! Also, the vest you bought looks very good.

I can see why you love that sheer cardigan, it looks great on you! I'm going to keep my eyes out for one on the secondhand market.

I used to hate on linen until I got a steamer. She does seem to think it’s an old lady textile but it doesn’t have to be dowdy.
Love your looks, Sita! I like the “gentlewoman” hair, reminds me of Ma Ingalls (Little House on the Prairie), in a good way, with a 70s vibe.💕
lol Ma Ingalls. It’s funny I used to relate to Carrie the youngest sister because I was the youngest but now I’m probably older than Ma!
You may not feel well but you look great! Every outfit is awesome, unexpected, original, inspiring. And your hair is looking terrific, too!
Aww thank you so much!!
New hair looks good. Lovely post
Thank you!!!
Loved these looks, you’re really tempting me with the Winslow pants!
They have become a closet staple for me!
