I think most women are drawn toward certain things all the time, so much so that that's all they wear for a long stretch. I know that among all of my jackets, I wear one. And I have my favorite pants, my favorite backpack, brand of scarf, etc. It doesn't help much that I pile onto the chair next to my bed. I almost never hang anything up. Everything lives in the clothing mound, so it's easier to know what I'm grabbing for, doubly so when it's guaranteed to be on top, with my everyday belt already looped through it.

A Peace Treaty scarf
Virginia Johnson merino wool shawls are very lovable

  1. I'll admit I was thrown off by the plastic hangers. Love love love that Lauren Moffat zip peacoat! So much. Why is it so cute?

  2. Weirdly I like my clothes on plastic hangers more than wooden (or steel) hangers. But I love all of your clothes! I wish it was colder in LA so I can layer and top it off with any one of these jackets/coats. That LM peatcoat is awesome!! & do you use your fjallraven backpack a lot? I want one, but haven't used a backpack in so long (aside from college).

  3. Wow I might have been kind of drunk when I wrote that paragraph at the end. I'm living in a temporary place while I finish my degree, so it would have been too much of a hassle to get anything other than cheap hangers.

    Thank you for the kind compliments! The Lauren Moffatt peacoat is called the "Bobby McGee" and might still be available online. (I got it at Conifer SF). I use the Fjallraven every day because my school bag broke, and it's been worn down pretty quickly. It's also not the best for organization!

    Caroline, it must be very lovely in LA right now! I grew up there.

  6. Jeez, that's one impressive outerwear collection. I am so obsessed with that APC parka! I don't really know why I didn't get it when it was still around.
