This is such a BEAUTIFUL GORGEOUS DESCRIPTION OF MY LIFE THANK YOU?!!?!! Felt this in my SOUL 😭😭😭😭

“…the complex geometry of fitting my exploding suitcases into my 14” closet which came stocked with exactly 6 hangers. Is this how most people vacation?! Simply couldn’t be me…

Let’s get something straight: I am not a capsule wardrobe girlie. I do not believe in packing light. I believe in outfit changes, statement earrings, headscarves conscientiously clashing with my caftans, mumus, miniskirts, and micro shorts.”

Hey lovely! I'm curious, how would you style the shirt for the Illusion of Calm look? What's the vision? Tucked in, loose and open, or maybe a half tuck?

open and the sleeves rolled then pushed as far up as possible on the arm– creating more of a strong shouldered silhouette-- then I'd take the two tails of the shirt and "send them to the back" as we say in the styling business by rolling them together and then tying it in a knot and rolling it under. It creates a kind of bolero affect so you end up just having linen sleeves and a bare midriff!
