Thanks for what you said about LA and for linking to some places to donate. I think we can (a) feel helpless or (b) feel like giving money isn’t enough but most organizations NEED financial support.

I’m still smitten on the Posse jacket you bought yourself and seeing that it comes in black gives me major heart eyes.

Thank you, Kelly! Totally agree, it can feel very helpless. I think that's partly why ImmDef because they're directly providing services to people in need for free.

Yes!! And it's part of their "essentials" line, which If I'm not mistaken, the black color is here to stay.

Ofelia, congrats on 1k subscribers!! Hope you celebrated this special milestone. Also, appreciate you sharing your thoughts on what's happening and resources to help.

I always forget about Posse, so I loved that you did this. I literally clicked on every link - everything looks gorgeous on you (the Lori dress is stunning!) Also added that Ginny black top to my wishlist! x

Congrats on 1,000 subscribers! So well deserved! I love the Cassidy dress and the idea of a ‘Getting Ready’ dress for your wedding - how cool is that?! x

Thank you, Anika!! I'm looking forward to rewearing it :) I think it might be a US wedding culture thing? Most people wear pajamas, but I opted for a dress. Mostly because I love a dress and the rewearability aspect was important to me.

A huge congrats on 1K subscribers! What an incredible milestone and I'm so happy to be one of your readers. Thank you for sharing these resources and for donating your newsletter proceeds. As I was clicking through the links, the Cecilia Mini Dress really caught my eye - it's so mod. Your Cassidy dress pictures are stunning and love that this dress holds special memories.

I love their Emma vest but I just got a dress from the Moda Riviera capsule that’s like striped red and white TERRY cloth and I cannot wait to wear now that it’s getting properly warm here!!

I love posse and have the Emma vest. Do you have thoughts about what to wear over it in the office when the A/C is full blast

I would probably go with a shawl/wrap of some sort! When I worked in an office, I would often take one to work for when the AC was blasting a little too much.

If you're looking for something on the warmer side, I'd go with cashmere because its still very breathable. If you want something lighter I'd lean toward linen! They're still very soft, comfortable and breathable. I also love the idea of wearing over a sweater in the fall (or even a t-shirt in the summer) + jeans look to elevate the look.
