    Ideally our wardrobe should be such that we aren't thinking so much about our clothes, so we can get on with our lives! I had an epiphany when, years ago, my daughter gifted me with a financial gift with specific instructions to splurge on myself. I logged onto Eileen Fisher, bought myself a summer capsule and haven't looked back. You are so right about quality, comfort, and authentic style. EF happens to check all the boxes for me. I buy mostly from them now, and second hand stores. Liberation! I always have something to wear, need very little, and rarely think little about my clothes except the joy I get in wearing them.

    I haven't watched yet, but a month ago I lost my curated wardrobe of 50ish years to a forest fire. To rebuild it is daunting. And many items are no longer replaceable. So I am re-starting my wardrobe while mourning the favorite items I'll never see again. I know this community understands.

      I am so sorry you are going through that! I was once evacuated for a forest fire for 3 weeks - plenty of time to do all of the mental gymnastics - ugh. Our house did not burn down (our property and surroundings did). I got to the place that I was learning to embrace the place of a clean slate, that I was undefined. I was lucky enough to return to my house and belongings, but I will tell you after that I did a severe declutter to GET TO that place of fresh start. But I certainly have so much sympathy for what you are going through. It is a sudden, violent, out of control, heartbreak in so many ways. Sending tons of good energy that you will recover stronger and will reap silver linings as you move forward. I feel for you. I really, really do. A unique experience that very, very few people (including me) can fully empathize with.

      Boho can also be cleaner and more minimal ( no patterns ) and therefore a bridge to edgy and rock n roll. Either boho dress plus edgy accessories or edgy outfit with more boho style accessories. The colour choices will also help you bridge the 2 styles.

      I am a total bohemian in the hot months in Portugal. I get tired of it after a full summer and now I want simpler look. It’s fun to change it up through the seasons. It’s too hot for layers most of the year, so I look forward to the chance to wear my separates instead of the summery dresses. I add more solid colors, a little more structure, but still wear my fun prints in smaller pieces or my print dresses with a solid shirt or sweater over it to tone it down and pull it a little closer to my body.

    I find that I add more color in the summer months. I love jewel tones in the winter but I always find my way back to neutrals. In particular charcoal, navy, black and camel. Because I have a seated body type, as much as I love blazers, they just don't work well on my body type. In the past year I've found that cropped sweaters work really well for me. I'm in love with the Quince boyfriend crewneck neck. It's shorter in the front and a bit longer in the back. Perfect! I have it in black, navy, and the agave. I'll be ordering their cropped cardigans next. The cotton and the cashmere.

I think dressing for you season is a great concept and can real help inspire a lot of people. For me, I sort of work on the belief that you should wear what 'you' feel best in.

Luckily, I have not listened to those who don’t want me to keep clothes I haven’t worn. My house has plenty of closets including a cedar closet, I have had the luxury to keep clothes. Because I have always bought quality & classic clothes, my wardrobe is up to date but out of my existing closet. My color palette has mostly been black, white, gray, dark red, teal and denim. The thing that is most important is the leather, suedes, and fabrics are superior to what is affordable right now. I am filling in by buying second hand. Vote Democratic. Vote Harris-Walz

    Keep doing what you're doing...except, grow your hair! Previous style was edgy but feminine.

      Can't get more edgy than your cut right now in my humble opinion. You do you, and I for one, love it ! ❤ ❤ You are an inspiration ❤

      This is the SECOND time you’ve made that remark, and I couldn’t disagree more. What could be more
      feminine than revealing her bone structure? Also, she has three small children to care for and recently suffered a tragic loss, a wash-and-go haircut she can maintain herself is smart!
