Thank you for the distraction! Love the jacket you ended up with. It’s perfect on you. I would get one too but I’ll need to wait until the impact of eating my feelings as a way of coping with election anxiety kicks in. Ugh.
In the vein of black humor, I woke up to three different "can I distract you" Substacks! They know their audience. Yours, honestly, is my favorite. I plan to put on the Lucky Brand military jacket that you "helped" me buy a couple of years ago, go look at beautiful things , and say a little prayer for the election.
Years ago, a good friend told me, "I will not live in fear". That is my objective, no matter what the election outcome is. We will continue to protect and support those we love, and those we have never met.
My anxiety is much like yours this morning. But I voted early & most definitely understood the assignment! 💙. Very cute jackets & the one you ended up with looks great. My town had an Evereve several years ago but I didn’t really “get” it then. Unfortunately, it closed, and I’m reluctant to order online because of shipping & returns not being free & I’m struggling with my sizes these days thanks to perimenopause 🙁. Anyway…I ordered the Mac jacket from Everlane a few weeks ago & I love it (you mentioned it in a previous Substack). It’s just what I wanted—roomy but oversized, water resistant but doesn’t look like a raincoat, and the color I got seems like I can wear it with anything (the olive green option).
Ok, I’m typing too much—sorry. So much nervous energy this morning. Have a great day & I hope we all still have a democracy after today. 💙🗳️
I think all has been said about the election and fear of what is to come. But, you did send me over the edge on the man repeller jeans (aka Nili Logan) and I purchased them (they do run large so a size smaller) and cannot agree with you more that they are amazing! Who would have thought. All of the modified barrel cuts and jeans don't compare although the Kut from the Kloth foil version are also amazing (and seem to run large also). Give them a try!
Thank you for this distraction. In the past two days I've bought myself a hot pink velvet suit and a blush pink matching cropped pea coat and skirt. We'll see if either of them work. I can't decide how I feel about cropped jackets. I'm short waisted so most of them feel like they hit me in the wrong spot, but I did go to Quince and look at their jackets b/c of this post and I found an oversized blazer that looks like it might be the oversized blazer of my GenX dreams.

Thank you, Roberta!
Love the jacket spiral. Thank you for the diversion this morning. Can you feel the anxiety from Philadelphia?
Yes, please, and thank you.

Hang in there! I also voted early and now i"m just vibrating in my chair at work. I'm so glad you like the Mac jacket! It's still on my list...

Yay! I just really love them and I’m glad you do too.
