So. I got married recently and it was so glorious. I was lucky enough to be able to take a week and a half to just revel in the joy and celebration of marrying my most favorite individual – the one for whom I have relocated to the PNW. The one who has had some very grounding conversations with me around money and what he lovingly refers to as “emotional spending”. We are back in our new home city now and reentering real life as joyful newlyweds.
What/Wear
Here’s what I wore to our first lunch date as a married couple!
Sweater: Everlane recycled cashmere. This sweater hasn’t gotten enough love since I bought it. It’s boxy and light and still very warm. During the summer of the pandemic Everlane (and many other clothing companies) went wild with the sales and I partook in a major way (see emotional spending convos mentioned above….)
Jeans: Reformation – I LOVED these jeans when I got them and they were too long and too tight. So, I kept them for a few months until the fit… (I know, I know) and I got them hemmed. Which would’ve been great if the original hem wasn’t already fashionably “destroyed”. The tailor cut that right off and I got them back with a beautiful finished hem – which i hated. So, it’s been a process of re-destryoing the hem if you will. It’s also been a process of WILLING these jeans to fit through lots of stretching and shimmying and not washing and voila, they’re one of my favorite pairs now. I love the color a lot.
Boots: Madewell – an impulse purchase cheered on by a fashionable friend. They didn’t get a lot of wear during the last fall/winter because of the old pandemmy BUT they are out in full force now. I love the lug sole and they are about as close to those very cool clunky Doc Martins boots that I will get.
