I want to hate them but they are so weird that they might be right. Would you ever braid their tails when you got bored on the subway? Do they kick?
I never wear black and feel off when I do, but I keep coming back to this Vivetta sweatshirt. I can’t tell if it’s dumb to buy what I technically could make, but I will never make it. And that ruffle looks advanced even I did one day decide to glue gems to a sweatshirt.
I REALLY WANT TO PURGE MY CLOSET OF ALL THAT I DO NOT LOVE EVEN IF IT MEANS I GO NAKED FOR A FEW MONTHS.
Which means that when it comes to shopping, right now I don’t actually know where to start. Where would you start?
In other news, I want to pre-order this Apiece Apart skirt. It reminds me of the Cavalli dress Beyoncé wears in “Hold Up.”

Not to be an asshole, but I hate everything you just sent me.
I would start with these sunglasses because they will distract both myself and The Spectators from the fact that I still haven’t found an alternative to jeans, which I now hate.
Then, I would get those pony shoes because I bet they’re pretty comfortable and wear them with red socks and a slip dress. Maybe this one. Tissue turtleneck under when it gets colder, thick-ass knit over when it gets COLD.
Hey, how do you feel about “velvet joggers”? — or the artist formerly known as Juicy?

Well it took me two days to recover because $560 sunglasses?! But they are amazing. If people wear sunglasses because their future is so bright that they need shades, then these are a literal investment in your future, which I support, even if you don’t support my choices in email #two.
I need to process velvet joggers for a minute. I can’t tell if you’re trying to trick me into leggings under dresses like you did last time, just through a different vehicle. I might be okay with them. I might be okay with navy ones. We might all be Paris Hilton.
Tell me why this Marie Antoinette bust candle is sold out? I’m currently mad.
I wanted to get this Magnetic Midnight color wheel headband and put it on her. But actually I do want this and the bust.
Is it dumb to pre-order these now so that I only have to pay half and half even if I wouldn’t wear them now?
I’m a mess. I want every cashmere crewneck from Everlane in every color, these Dolce sleep shorts and this knit corset. Fall is killing me. Who am I anymore????

I just bought a Dolce sleep dress from The Outnet! I didn’t even include it in our email exchange because I was so sure of its functionality. Black tights (to hell with tights) and loafers + a thick-ass cardigan. What could be better? What, I ask?
Meanwhile, in other things tickling my silly bone not to be confused with funny bone:
This toothbrush (so extravagant!)
This sweater (I never buy cropped sweaters because I feel like they are not useful, and then I always want to wear a cropped sweater and never have one)
This robe! (I’ll wear it as a dress too to prove its versatility)
This cardigan partigan (I wanted it last year when it was in sale on Net but The Outnet really proves that your opportunities to acquire are endless in 2016)
And finally, my feet are so bored and they wish they were having more fun. I want krazy loafers and the world’s greatest boots. If you were choosing boots for me, which ones would you pick? I’M JUST WONDERING.

That La Ligne robe is called The Lebowski coat! Makes me like it even more. Oh and that toothbrush. That toothbrush is to normal toothbrushes what that La Ligne robe is to Lebowski’s actual robe.
With all respects to the Dude.
My feet are so bored they’re asleep, too. Pins and needles of the worst degree. But oh this is a fun game. Let me go hunting! Fake-hold please.
Back. Thought on:
These tortoiseshell ones will match your toothbrush, always important
And these ones are actually for Susan Miller, not you.
I want easier-to-wear-with-pants cowboy boots in the same color that I tried this summer.
Since we’re playing the shop-for-me game, can you please find me a good pair of jeans? I’m on the hunt like I’ve never been before.
O and here, this bag is for you to put all your gumballs in.

Those Tory Burch boots!!! But I feel like something a little more combat-y. Chunky, but still tasteful. I guess I don’t really need a pair, remember when these went on sale last season and I bought them in two colors?
Can I tell you something about jeans and your hunt? The reason you’re on a hunt and feel dissatisfied by it is because jeans are dead! I know that’s a terrible thing to say about a wardrobe staple, but don’t you think that the reason we are gravitating more and more towards graphic T-shirts is because we are looking for the antidote to dressed-up pants and skirts, which unwittingly we are wearing because our jeans no longer feel right?
Are you still with me?
Instead, I invite you to ponder the below trousers and pencil skirts. (Pencil skirts will be so good with combat boots, don’t you think? Don’t you?)
a) No brainer
b) I have these, they are exquisite
c) Who doesn’t need a corduroy FUPA?
d) When has a print ever betrayed you?
e) I got tired and skipped skirts.
Meanwhile, dumbest or smartest T-shirt ever?

Do you have those gold ones?? I remember the boots but not the gold and mayn are they lookers.
*Hi Leandra this is the ghost of everyone’s jeans typing, fuck you! Bye*
^ That was weird and rude but I don’t think you’re totally wrong. Maybe jeans are just in a coma for a min. They can’t be dead forever but they are definitely not feeling like the SOLUTION right now. Graphic tees definitely are but I can’t tell if I feel that way because put that sunshine in my pocket or if I am having an authentic reaction.
I am always in for a pencil skirt. B and C are variations on breeches! You love horses haha suck it.
That thing’s the smartest shirt ever.
I like this skirt a ton.
Might get this J.Crew coat because it’s called glazed pecan and I’m hungry and will wear it with white jeans (dead or alive).
This skirt to wear over a giant white button-down with crazy-long sleeves.
Are you sick of off the shoulder? I was and then wasn’t and now I’m into this Caucasian wizard sleeve situation.

I’m so confused over this e-mail because we just spent like 35 minutes Slacking back and forth about this Jacquemus blazer that you want to buy for yourself. I will summarize the conversation for our friends and you will not impart a single addendum: The jacket is $788, it looks like this. And Amelia shot a similar, longer version today for a coat story for the site. The reason I don’t think she should buy it is because it’s expensive, and you can kind of make it. Actually, that’s the reason she doesn’t think she should buy it. I think she should buy it because she never gets excited about clothing and she’s been talking my damn head off about this jacket for weeks. That said, though, it’s not going to keep her warm AND she wants new boots.
So maybe together, we can push her towards these.
Or these.
Thotz?
I still want a beret, btw.
And this skirt.
And while I’m at it.

I was trying to spare the people my mental anguish! I’ll get those Alexandre Birman boots in a heartbeat though.
Those last three links + the afore-emailed breeches = you looking like
^ Which is what I’m being for Halloween.
I’m gonna get this saddle bag (which is under $50, hellerr) instead of the cowboy boots (wait, back to boots: ~*!!! silver versions of the Proenza ones we wanted to timeshare last month !!!*~ ), this legit perfect sweater under $80 and these “Horowitz” (okay) platforms coming right in at a clean $80 for going out-purposes or very long pants. And non-statement but not-silent earrings. Always need some lobe-love.
All over the place. Blame fall! But not Canada.
Signing off bye.
