It is impossible for me to get rid of jackets/blazers. So.....I probably have too many.Beautiful memories of your mom.
Great stats, 2 blazers out, that’s awesome. What was your thought process on letting them go? I have a few that I don’t wear as frequently due to change of lifestyle. I am on the cusp of deciding what to do with them.
Yes to everything here, LOL!What a great and timely find!
Navy and white is a keeper!
Right now I am considering this. I very much like Les Coupes as Camails is one of my favorite scarves and it is the same vibe (and designer). I find this colorway very cheerful and wouldn’t it work well in Zoom?

I get those ruthlessly clean out moods for EVERYTHING. Even my most precious possession, my books. A couple of years ago I had a fever more than a mood and got rid of half of them... I am forever missing one or the other. Only today my daughter was asking about Mondrian for a school project, and I was like, fear not, I have these great books... wait no, actually, I don‘t
That’s basically it. I left my corporate job in the middle of Spring’s lockdown. Add the new corona reality, and I do not need as many blazers, not the more office type in any event. Because I did buy two in September, blazers are my weakness, hence having to keep that in check.
So the two blazers I got rid off this time were a pinstripe and a double breasted black, they had fulfilled their function and it was time to go.
The asymmetrical tie is my other go to!
I am so glad you are loving your Portland Leather Goods Mini.
Probably the Colliers de Chien. I doubt you'll get rid of it ever!The asymmetrical tie is my other go to!
Are you thinking of Coup de Fouet? It’s navy, bright blue, green and purple, or Colliers de Chien - it’s mostly green, and has a fab purple hem.. ?
I just ordered another one in cranberry!!! I am thinking of giving one of them to my daughter. Looking forward to seeing cranberry IRL.
That was my problem, too, until I popped for Robe du Soir in the navy, white, & silver colorway. Folded on the bias and tied any-old-whichway, it goes with anything. Even a black sweater, because the navy is so dark.
I just love this!
I DO RELATE !
How nice your Percy turned up today- today of all all days for an orange bag: Halloween!
A question for those who do work related Zoom/video calls? Do you dress for it as if you were going to the office? I don’t. I do dress for it more than how I would if I’m just staying home though. But not at the same level pre-covid in the office. I’ve noticed that some of our legislators are super dressed down during congressional hearings even.That was my problem, too, until I popped for Robe du Soir in the navy, white, & silver colorway.

It also looks nice on Zoom calls, interestingly, because it doesn't "fight" with my glasses, which are medium-blue.
The things we have to consider when getting dressed these days!
For me, it very much depends on whom I’m meeting with and the purpose of the meeting. For events that I have had to run or present (I have had 3) I have worn dresses or a nice blouse and blazers. I have found blazers to be key on zoom calls in terms of making me feel and look pulled together. For meetings with colleagues I am much more casual. When I teach I’m somewhere in between. I will keep shawls and nice cardigans handy for these types of meetings.
