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

what I wore in yesterday’s 95-degree heat: a basic tee and this crinkly flowy skirt* that I love. (*gifted)

Highlights of today’s post…

  • A candid look at my summer shopping hits and misses

  • 5 valuable personal style and mindful shopping lessons I learned

  • My most reliable brands so far!

  • A game-changing question I ask myself now before I buy anything or put it on my wishlist

  • How I’m prepping my closet for the fall, including 5 simple tips

This is a LONG post - if it cuts off, click the title to see the web version.
