KELLLLLLLY! Your outfits! The skirt over the swimsuit is literal perfection! The bloomer shorts! The lace shorts! (Which do not look like pajamas at all!). Most of all, I love seeing the thought process behind how people choose their outfits every day.

P.S. PINCH ME that little ole me was an inspo image!!! I’m dead! Thank you, friend 🥰🥰🥰

Kelly, please don't ever be too shy to post outfits, especially on here! Everyone loves seeing what others are wearing and everyone has messy bed rooms?! Of course I'm cheering for what you call the first 'boring' outfit! Love the heavier jacket over the black pants and love your signature necklace with that! I'm a huge fan of Sam from Boy Room and his style, too.

Thank you so much Xue!! I have been trying to learn from you on the “what works, what doesn’t” that you reflect on so well.

my heart galloped when i saw the title of today's post!!! i couldn't read fast enough! you know my love for reading about how people make their outfit decisions, because for some of us it's not as effortless as everyone wants to make it out to be. loved the notes on formulas and adding hero pieces for summer - 2 absolute musts for these sticky, sticky days.

and thanks for the shoutout <3 you are the best

YOU are the best. I genuinely have a giant arrow that I point squarely in your direction for all the good corporate (and other) inspo.

I love this post! And I see such beautiful cohesion dressing here (as per your last post). You're also making me want that collar so bad, I just saw a new mixed metal one!

I have to say that the mixed metal one is where it’s at! It goes with everything. Now I want to go take a peek 🙈

Great inspiration, and I love that you included Sam, he's such a great dresser.

Don't be shy - if I can post my craptastic pictures with my point-and-shoot camera and weird blue room, you can too!

10/10 times the posts I most love reading are what people truly wear each day. Styling theory posts are great, but to see things in practice is the best part!
