The Note #55

Woman In The City With Places To Go To

You’re not dreaming, my eyes are half closed, not because I smoke pot, but because of spring allergies. Jenni Kayne sweater, Nili Lotan tee, CO boots.

Do you remember when I said that I wanted to update my look because—well, because Paris? Well, I’m starting—ever so slowly.

This was yesterday’s look—I had a day of meetings. I had to look good without looking too eager (ahah, do you know what I mean?)(like, “hire me!!!” but also, “I don’t really need it”)(it’s like dating, in other words), relaxed, but not totally chill.

I went for an easy, super soft sweater with a white tee shirt underneath which is how we wear sweaters now, okay? (OMG, don’t go wearing your V-neck directly on your skin thinking it’s a sexy hint of your decolleté, are you mad?)

Yaël is the one to thank for these photos. The strange poses are all mine.

BY THE WAY: Emma Chamberlain said that it’s totally forbidden to wear sneakers with no-show socks, and I am really struggling with this, which is why I’m still doing it even though I know it marks my belonging to a very ancient generation.

It’s not that I want to look young, it’s that I don’t want to look completely ringard.

[What’s ringard? Ringard is a French word that means a mix of old-fashioned and ridiculous)(yes, the French have a lot of words to define what’s NOT stylish).]

One outfit, two styles—the sweater over the jacket is so nice right now.

Ok, back to the program. The goal of the look is soft and easy, but with some tailoring because we’re not in LA (the pants, they’re old—like a lot of my things, but I’m updating!!!—similar here) and a pair of heels because else we’re Bernard Tapie* for a touch of strength and femininity, a hat because my hair is in its three month purgatory that’s cool, and an ancient black bucket bag (it’s not sold anymore, but look at this cute COS one!) because I really need a new bag but all I want is the new Alaïa Le Click and I just bought a house that’s what I had in my closet.

Oh, and here is a close up!!!

Solitaire, I LOVE IT, Monica Vinader. (My 25% off all the website is still going if you use the code GARANCEDMV)

I’M READY FOR YOU, PARIS! Almost updated!!! Sorta.

Sending you big kisses!!!

*This is Bernard Tapie, a very famous, questionable (aren’t they all) businessman from the 80s.
