The white shorts with the boots... just dreamy!! I do know that pouring boiling water on a blueberry stain works like magic. Not sure about mulberries, though!
Jungmaven prices are nuts, but when they run a good sale, I never regret their tops/t-shirts.
Interestingly, I did a lot of shopping in May myself. All very decisive, in-person purchases so no regrets, but I did just make a biggish secondhand purchase via TRR that I won't see till late July probably, so that's making me a bit nervous. It's not been much of a low-buy year in number of purchases at all (7 items so far), although I am doing well by my budget. I am finding hard to resist nice basics in good condition when I chance upon them secondhand (some kind of scarcity mentality at play here) and in the case of the TRR buy, one-off things marked down so tantalisingly within my reach that it feels like it was meant for me and me only.
I love those antique shorts and the way you wear them feels aligned and cohesive with your style!
I love that hand-made tank, and the antique shorts are amazing! I think you're doing great with your aim of shopping more mindfully and locally. and I also think, from seeing my daughter (mother of an almost 3 year old), that there are a couple of years post-partum when your style needs a little time to settle and readjust, and that is the perfect time to introduce some pieces that excite you.
Your me-made tank is incredible! Very impressive indeed. And I’d be so curious to see you style dresses in earnest, as someone also heavy into separates lately.
Thanks! So many of my dresses are made of silk, which makes me nervous around the kiddo. But I could envision a challenge where I only wear dresses/skirts to work this summer...

I love your use of color!
Oh thanks for the laundry trick! We definitely collect a lot of berry stains here...
The quality of Jungmaven is sooo good!
Omg those old fashioned white shorts! The green skirt! So many goodies here. Fun post, thank you!
Of course I got my period as soon as I brought them home, but can't wait to wear them!
Those shorts are perfection 🤯

I definitely notice an uptick of purchases every spring season--seems to be a pattern with me.
Fingers crossed that your TRR purchase works out. The tantalizing markdown can be hard to resist, but sometimes they really are meant to be!
the use of 'brackish' here... <3 perfect

Thank you! Really appreciate that nugget of wisdom--it's definitely been a journey to feel like myself again. :)

I really love your practical approach to consumption, fashion, and person style. I love every new post you put out!
Aww thank you! You're too kind!
