I love a cool, white shirt in summer and I think it looks great on you, so I say keep it. Thanks for the heads up about this brand, too! The most functional work tote I've had was a Lo & Sons bag that I bought off Poshmark. It had two interior bottle holders, a place for my laptop and ostensibly a place for a pair of shoes, though I never used that function and frankly didn't see how it would really work. Can't wait to hear about your first week!
I was coming here to ask if you'd considered Lo & Sons bag! Their bags are functional, good looking, and (if you get a nylon one) pretty lightweight. They often have ~40% off sales too.
Like the white shirt very much--your reccs are often winners for me, so thank you for being stalkery! LOL. Just finished The Lions of 5th Avenue. Somewhat predictable but still a good read. My husband's wife was another good one by Alice Feeney and My Friends by Fredrik Bachman.
I just finished You with the Sad Eyes, Christina Applegate memior, and started We Burned So Bright. Yesteryear is up next after that. I too am on the hunt for the perfect work tote but they are seem so big but I have a 15 inch laptop so I am stuck. I also don't want to spend a million dollars. I got a TikTok shop viral dress for summer (via an Amazon coupon) and it's really quite lovely! I am looking for some simple summer flip flops for around the house and may get some Reefs I've been eyeing. That shirt is very cute! Good job on the stealthy pic and image search! I really enjoyed Noah Kahan's new album, and Olivia Rodrigo so next up is Gracie Abrams! Pop song summer for me! I'm about halfway through the final season of The Bear, started Sullivan's Crossing new season (I got of annoy watch that one, it is quite terrible). I am excited to start Elle on Amazon next.
The shirt is perfect - pretty without being fussy, and not too sheer. I couldn't go on with The Bear after the first season, which I found COMPELLING but too stressful. However, I have been cherry-picking episodes since then because the supporting characters are so wonderful. Marcus in Copenhagen soothed my soul.
The Calpak Luka laptop tote is the best work bag I have for shlepping all the things, and it's a fraction of the price of my Lo & Sons OG bag that isn't actually big enough for someone who brings a lunch and a purse. It's light, has a trolley sleeve, good pockets, tons of colors, stands upright under a plane seat and zips. 5 stars!
I haven't had that issue, but my shoulders are pretty broad. They also make a different shape called the Luka Everything Tote that has different straps. My best friend loves her MZ Wallace tote, for another similar option that will age well. Good luck!
Love that white shirt! As soon as I opened this up, it was the first thing I noticed & was hoping you’d share where you got it. The brand is unfamiliar to me too, but I’m going to check out their website now. I’m a sucker for pretty white tops. I’m also a magnet for getting spots on my pretty white tops, so sometimes, they sit in my closet unworn 😐 I’m excited to hear you’re enjoying Yesteryear, as I typically find your book pics to be good choices for myself. I am in my library’s queue for it—unfortunately, 122 people are ahead of me. I may break down & buy it on my kindle but I’ve got 4 other recent purchases on it that I need to read first. It’s so fun to have so many good books to read! Hope the 1st week at the new job has gone well!
Speaking as someone who's too big for that brand, KEEP IT AND WEAR IT FOR THOSE OF US WHO CAN'T! It's very cute without being twee.

I did! Their current laptop bag doesn't fit my laptop and I didn't want a backpack.
I love that shirt. I loved Famesick. I love that I've made an appearance in this post. Hooray!
Awww! Of course! You’re the best.

Also, you are not creepy for discreetly snapping a pic of a stranger. How else do we remember outfit ideas?

I owned the Luka duffel and I can't keep those puffy nylon straps on my puny shoulders. I was worried I'd run into the same issue with the tote.
I haven't had that issue, but my shoulders are pretty broad. They also make a different shape called the Luka Everything Tote that has different straps. My best friend loves her MZ Wallace tote, for another similar option that will age well. Good luck!
