I think a LOT about clothes for someone who is not very expressive fashion-wise and tends to wear the same t-shirts and jeans all the time. So I personally love any meditation on clothes! But I agree with you that sometimes I'm a little taken aback by price tags and how cavalier people seem to be around them, because clothes are probably the area where I am LEAST likely to spend money (although I'm trying to get better! just in that I'm trying to understand that it's better to buy something that fits right and is made well, etc. etc.). Anyway, loved this as always! Write all the summer newsletters you want, it's your season!!!
KC Davis (of Strugglecare) recently posted on tiktok about how to dress if your body shape was "barrel with legs" and it included sack dresses. I'm more pear/less barrel, but I love the swing dresses that Old Navy puts out most seasons (the linen pants are great too!), and the flowy-ness is great. I'll go see what Wool& has in plus sizes- the travel groups I'm in LOVE LOVE wool but hearing from a "real person" (Who I'm in a parasocial relationship with, yay!) may knock me over that hump and get something!
I have always found the wool dress challenge intriguing, but I cannot believe that any wool would be a tolerable amount in Phoenix during the summer. But I have embraced the wonders of a sack-like t-shirt dress! Because I definitely went on the exact same journey about what "flattering" means.
