Eep! I love the nail polish trick! If you and Asta are doing it then I must join. Plus I adore shopping for new nail polish colors because it's such a low lift for something that really brings me joy.

I choose none of the above and pull my unbottoned shirt sleeve straight up past my elbow.

Also props for not forcing the jean shorts, we should be wearing what makes us feel good and it’s definitely not always what everyone else is doing.

I love what you write about and I love how you write. Thanks for posting this.

And +1 to small tweaks and considerations having big impact. It all adds up.

Hhahaha im so glad you understand that nail polish in Indyx makes a difference 😂 I am outfit planning for an upcoming trip and contemplating the nail polish direction - I’m spending way too much time on it but it’s important!! I’m thinking oxblood for my toes and pale pink/ nude for my fingers …

I have been feeling this exact same way about my outfits, and feeling a pull towards these color combo'ed bags as well! Thanks for the low lift way to scratch that itch while I keep searching for just the right bag (but if you want to document your search process there, I'm all ears...)

Love the idea of adding new colours through nail polish. Such a low risk way of doing it. Unfortunately I can't wear nail polish on my finger nails - they become super brittle, but as soon as the weather warms up I'll try some pops of colour on my toes! The clear blue really suits your outfits.

Sigh! They’re the best - but don’t make this color or shape anymore. It’s an Australian brand called Bared - all their shoes have a substantial footbed as well. Recommend!

also Olo is my favorite and I alternate purchasing it between Prism ( I live in Seattle ) or direct from the brand themselves ( small wife and husband duo based in Portland, OR )
