It couldn’t last forever! It’s time for the James Perse summer sale to draw to a close, and there are still some great pieces left in several sizes if you haven’t bought anything yet (or if you’re still tempted!). Since all SALES ARE FINAL, please ask a question here or consult the summer sale fit guide & swap for more guidance on fit and styles.

The James Perse sale is ending soon!! Who’s placed more than one order? I stuck to just one this time, and I’m happy with that. I’m realizing lately that I bought because I COULD and because I wanted to, not because I needed anything. Sure, I could rationalize all I want that I needed this shirt or that skirt, or whatever, but with few exceptions, I didn’t.

Haha! it’s not a haul exactly, since it’s only one piece, but that’s all I needed!! And anyway, as I’ve often discussed here, I have a very hard time buying out of season, so I stick to looking for workout wear, jeans, bras, panties & beauty exclusives (uh…Lancome mascara wardrobe?? yes, please!) during the Nordstrom anniversary Sale.

So after voicing my frustration on finding boyfriend jeans I love, and that fit my thicker legs, I realized that I like the slightly tapered at the ankle (but still showing a little) look of the slouchy boyfriend style like these Rag & Bone jeans (and the Frame Le Garcon jeans).

I love my legs. I decided when I was in Amsterdam visiting the Anne Frank house (observing people go up and down the narrow staircase on crutches or with a great deal of effort) that I would never be frustrated about my body again. My legs may be thick & “athletic,” but they are strong, and I can rely on them to get me where I’m going. I can walk miles and miles around cities and up mountains thanks to my legs. BUT. It’s very frustrating finding jeans that fit lately.

You know I’m all about the ugly shoe trend right now, within reason, of course. I have loved my Mephisto & Birkenstock sandals for many years, and will never give them up. But as I always say with trends, if you happen to love one anyway, it’s a great time to stock up on new pieces. Especially with this one.

Since I’ve been carrying my new Jerome Dreyfuss Florent backpack* for a couple of weeks now (outfit here), I think I can safely give it a good review. In short, I really really love it. I also have a few small issues with it.

As you know, I’ve been exploring a more minimalist lifestyle/closet lately, and have read a lot on the subject. I’m still learning, and feeling my way through it, with the understanding that there IS NO RIGHT OR WRONG WAY TO DO THIS, nor is one person’s minimal lifestyle the same as another’s. Starting next week, I’m going to publish an “essay” a week on things I’ve learned, and what I’ve done as part of my “The Minimal Closet” series, but first, I want to explore some questions I’ve been asking myself. Maybe you have some thoughts on them?

I cannot keep colored nail polish on anymore. I just want them neutral. In the picture above, I’m just wearing the Julep nail treatment, but yesterday I painted them with Chanel Emprise, but was over it by the evening, so I removed it. I don’t know – lately, color on my nails is just too jolting. Sometimes I will just use this Butter London nail foundation, which I also really like. It’s more natural nail colored and matte than the Julep treatment, which is pink-ish.
