The five-piece uniform that saved my mornings
Jeans, a good tee, a cardigan that hides everything, loafers, one gold necklace. I wear versions of this almost every day and I have never felt more like myself.
Style
I get dressed for school runs, grocery runs and the occasional dinner out. Nine things do most of the work. This is what I wear, what finally fits, and what I stopped buying.t I stopped buying.

Jeans, a good tee, a cardigan that hides everything, loafers, one gold necklace. I wear versions of this almost every day and I have never felt more like myself.

Not the body I had at 32, not the one I keep meaning to get back to. The one carrying the groceries in right now. It took me a whole afternoon and it changed my whole spring.

A list, written in February while I am cold and dreaming of the good month. Nine items, most of them older than my youngest child.
More of the house: the whole journal, or the story of why I started writing it.
