Summer Style Recap: Hits, Misses, and Lessons Learned

Sharing my best and worst purchases, plus how I’m prepping my wardrobe for fall.

Hi! Today, I’m sharing a big “catch-up” of sorts on my personal style and shopping journey so far. Since it’s now August (howwww?!), I thought it would be a good time to reflect on how the summer went for me style-wise and how I’m using what I’ve learned to prepare for fall. Also, thanks to everyone who voted on what you’d like to see in our subscriber chat! Let’s get on with it - would love to hear your thoughts in the comments!

Also, welcome to my new readers! This style column is where I like to chat about getting dressed again after the pandemic and after having a baby. You can opt out here if this isn’t your thing. x Alisha
