I've been having newsletter fatigue, but I read this all the way through and bookmarked it to come back to so I could explore your links more. Thank you!

The very best compliment ever! We all get that fatigue but to know mine is still a read for you is all I ever want!

Ahhh so much goodness here. As someone who used to work at Net- you’d be absolutely floored if you saw the styling operation there. It’s truly remarkable and full of so many great ideas! Also another place to check out for fun colored tees is Uniqlo! I recently bought a brown one and I feel like it’s my new styling secret!

NAP is doing such good styling work because (obviously) they are using other products they sell but they are really letting the clothes speak through styling. You're background is just so cool.

I remember someone a few years back telling me she gets all her styling info from NAP and I'm ashamed to admit I didn't take her seriously until right now, this is so genius! Also, I think short nails are the chicest.

HAHAHA!! I kept the NAP thing a little secret until I realized THE Emily was doing it 😂

Also, thank you for making me feel OK about my stubby nails. I like them this way BUUUTTT I would look so sad next to Khloe Kardashian.

Also into the short nails! Love the color you have in the post and adding it to my fall list. I love all of the concealer colors by Kur. They last and last.

FWIW JCrew men’s t shirts come in ring 3 colors and if you take your regular size (don’t size down) fit oversized in a similar fit to Tibi.

Not an exact color match but LA apparel makes a similar design to the Tibi https://losangelesapparel.net/products/1825gd-mix-oversized-short-sleeve-high-mockneck-t-shirt

I love this letter so much! It’s a great way to learn more about you. Thank you for sharing with us!!

Also, the Net-A-Porter tip is so good. I had noticed they do styling so well but never occurred to me to go there for inspo.

My favorite buy/wear is tough because I love my new Delfina flats but also cannot stop wearing my Buck Mason sateen pants. They are just too good!!

I can't wait to continue to see you in your new flats; a good purchase should make you want to wear it over-and-over-and-over.

So smart to go directly to NAP! Do you generally find it more fruitful than Pinterest?

I think it’s 100% more practical!! I find Pinterest is fun for creative inspiration but sometimes we just need a formula 😂

Wait I love this format so much, pls!! Also yes to using product shots for style inspo - deeply remember spending hours saving photos off APC in college to attempt outfit recreations. My hot tip would be that sometimes going to the actual item category means they style it with somewhat generic/repetitive complimentary items - I.e. looking at product shots for black jeans I will find someone retailers just reuse the same/similar neutral shirt for multiple products. But if you are looking for many ways to style your, idk, wide leg black pants, you can scroll through their sweater, shirt, and jacket options for anything paired with a similar pant and find a wide variety of styling options!

YES!! YOU SMARTIE!! That is a very good idea because, you're right, that sometimes the styling can get repetitive. Also, I think it's a great way to use the problem child in your wardrobe; never wear a blazer? Look at NAP for the ways they style them!

hi hi! I love this addition!! I have also gone down the NAP styling rabbit hole; it is an excellent place to be. Might you share sizing thoughts on the Jcrew hightops? True to size? Womens, mens, boys? I feel like sneakers can be all over the place. I love them and am on the poshmark search. Thank yoU!

Yes! My sister has found these online and they were TTS for me. They are women’s sizing so no need to convert. They are also in white!!

Gah! Stacey, I stalked this shirt on depop (the seller was in the UK) and I had to beg him to ship it internationally. I’m glad you like it!!

I have been eyeing those Tibi tees as well. I love all the subtle colors. The Leset one looks great too though and it’s in one of “my” colors. Plus I know they’re not as fashionable right now but I still like cropped tees.

Great job on the cakes and the pumpkin!

I also loved a cropped tee! My short torso thanks me because they hit at a good place for my without shoving 6” of fabric to tuck in!!

Everybody.world has boxy kinda cropped tees in excellent ring 3 and Tibi “ick” colors. The fabric is great. They are far and away my favorites.
