Funny, I l toyed with buying the same sweater from the Tibi sale. I knew in my heart it would have been impulsive/regretful. I realized I had a 100% cashmere sweater in almost the same shade of blue collecting dust because its length felt awkward so I grabbed a pair of fabric scissors and gave it a chop! Now it’s slightly cropped with a rolled hem, and I’ve been wearing it a few times a week this season.

Such a good idea with chopping your old sweater. Do share a photo if possible. And, well, I console myself with the fact that most of my other Tibi items are bought preloved and I continue loving them 🥰

What a fun bunch of outfits, Ewelina! I loved how you kept tweaking your outfit until it felt right - that something ephemeral. I appreciate the explanation of "lofted settleness" as I'd seen it used here and there not known what it meant (although intuited it through context). That's funny about the blue sweater - it seems like it would be a good basic but sometimes that's just not who we are (you are anything but basic!).

Love that blazer with the cutout in back! What a fabulous detail.

BTW, I thought I tagged you, but likely screwed it up - I based a lot of my last post on your comment about how I shop and find things. Enjoy!

What on earth?! :) there is not notification on your tag!! So, thanks so much for pinging me here as well. And huge thanks for your comment 'you are anything but basic'! Maybe this should be my modifier or at least that northern star; that final question that I need to ask before buying sth new.

Great outfits - Especially love Friday's accessories! And as for the mishap purchase - They help us grow just like mishaps in every area of life. I like to think each one brings a little more clarity.

Yes, definitely, Reiko 🙌🏻 sometimes clarity comes with a higher price (literally) and bad remorses; a scar on my consciousness 😇

Great outfits and shame about the jumper! I think maybe if it had been a touch longer it would have been much easier to style - for me anyway!

Melissa, I think I should have bought the long version of that same jumper 🙄 but lesson learned 🫶🏼
