Although the act of sharing never gets old, sharing clothes feels like a relic of my past now being 44. I didn't realize I missed the gaiety and intimacy of exchanging clothes with friends and siblings. Thank you for this wistful moment of nostalgia 🤎
did no one else have childhoods where you and your sisters would engage in open warfare in the form of stealing each others shit 😭 I love my sister and would die for her but she'd have to then climb over my dead body to get my shirt lol
hi olga! they're very similar in feel but if you want a more snug/stable fit with adjustable lace tightness then the remi. if that's not too much of a concern for you, the ease of the slip on with the suri is probably adequate for most people!
i am absolutely watching survivor season 50 and will need to read that piece. also did you see the relatively recent Interview Magazine photos of Jeff bc he was kind of serving in a way I was not ready for lol
ok yeah its so interesting how the mainstreaming of aesthetic treatments has overlapped with the survivor discourse. i think you'll find the article super compelling. also LOL i did see that jeff spread
My youngest daughter and I can share soke clothes and most shoes and it's great. Also my oldest shares with my BFF. And lately we've realized we need to run slightly quirky accessories by their dad before we get rid of them. He is a tall rather imposing guy and is deeply attached to the long olive trench coat he inherited from his grandfather. We've been gifting him slightly surreal cat tees tha past few years but its our big silk and cotton scarves that really help the coat look friendly. The latest is also cat themed in navy blue voile. He is a very minimal dresser so these touches go a long way. I loved hearing how your family does hand me downs. And jealous you guys are having such nice weather already!
I love this post. One major way I connect with my niece and nephew is over clothing. They almost always show up to my apartment underdressed (like the time my niece didn't bring shoes and I carried her to target for emergency shoes!). They are now 11 and 15 and are developing their own fashion ideals. we thrift and shop together but they somehow still often borrow from my wardrobe :) Keeping an eye on what the "youth" are doing has also helped me discover new trends and communities (like Select market in Boston). My friends and I (in our late 40s and 50s) also share/swap clothing and attend popups, great way to catch up and continue building community.
that is so cute. i love the age when they're starting to think more about the clothes they link and how they want to present themselves! it's a lovely way to connect across generations
I’d be thrilled to share any of these items (the upcycled cashmere?!??). One of the things I most miss about college and rooming with girls was the clothing and accessory swapping that happened every time we got ready to go out. My friend organized a plus size clothing swap a few years ago and it was a hit! Will definitely be looking for more opportunities like this

the gaiety and intimacy! yes it's just so...girlhood.

interestingly my siblings never stole my stuff BUT as a kid i got very annoyed when they'd try to copy my style lol
I live for the moss green snood.
It’s been hours since I read this post and I’m still shaken to my core (good) re: the upcycled cashmere hand warmers… the innovation!!!
easiest upcycle project with shrunken/thrifted cashmere!!
Viv, if you were buying Loefflers now, for the near the Outer Sunset)) crowd, would you recommend Suri or Remi? I am super torn!! TIA
