But I know you’re trying to bring ruffles back harder than Queen Elizabeth with a neck rash.

It’s for fashion week or now? What do you wear that with? I have so many questions. And if you’re wondering why I keep looking at your Caroline Constas shirt behind me on the garment rack, it’s because I need to know immediately if I should get this (it will sell out):

Yes to that top. You can wear it into the fall with a turtleneck underneath which will be SO COOL. Re: my Prairie girl meets Nantucket but also looks like a tablecloth-top: I’d likely wear with high waist shorts now, then high waist jeans or corduroys (red corduroys?) later?

These ones from Topshop are hEaVeN. (Sorry for that sentence.)

A black turtleneck? What pants? I can see this but not all the way. Black turtleneck and white wool high waisted pants a la Chloé that I have to go search for now?

Also, I’m seeing your outfit. I’m envisioning it. It’s so much outfit. It’s like if Anna Dello Russo decided she was a school teacher in the 1970s.

Men are very unhappy with the current state of Pant Affairs, by the way. They see the waistlines rising and that the wide legs are here to stay and they are NOT HAPPY. Guys think high waist pant make butts look long and I’m just like: must be at least this tall to ride, na mean?

I blacked out while writing that.

I want these but won’t buy them.

However, I’m willing to spend about $400 on my one pair of splurge shoes for fashion week. Sorry for that sentence but I literally have not bought anything all summer. What should I get? I’m a size 8 and don’t do that annoying thing where you only search your baby foot size in the sale.

It’s so funny you sent me those because I was going to send them to you. Doesn’t the color scheme/industrial theme remind you of like, a house from The Real World circa mid/late 90s?

I seriously might get these suede color-blocked Gianvito Rossi mules though because I’ve had my eye on them for a while, and now they’re on sale.

Also this J.Crew shirt is a joke not to buy, right?

And these “summer jeans” from Madewell which I’m gonna wear for fall.

Yeah I’m getting that J.Crew shirt yesterday. It will look so cool with just plain pubic hair as pants, no?

But also over a turtleneck and under these overalls?

And a flower in my hair? Bandana on my wrist? Banana leaf near my elbow?

I also like these other Toga sandals from Matches. Should I get them? Should you get them? What is this life and why do we live here?

Are those the black versions of the ones you sent me? I like them better, actually. Good heel. A sailor, GOOD MAN! That’s a movie quote in case you didn’t know.

I was more thinking of wearing that shirt with actual pants. These jeans.

Would I ever wear these striped pants, though? I think I like them because they remind me of these Chloé ones that I always click on but I am never trying to spend $800.

Or these Derek Lam ones but A) $343 :/ and I’m still funny about mixing black and royal blue.

Actually the whole Matches pants sale is good right now. (Zara’s too.) SHOULD I GET INTO FUNKY PANTS?

Ugh. It’s like I can’t stop putting money in the Douchebag Jar. Are you wearing sunscreen?

I resent your apprehension about the Derek Lam pants, specifically because I own them. No to the Topshop striped pants, yes to the jeans and I think funky pants will work about as well for you as a urinary catheter would for an ant. Funky tops, however, could become your thing. I like this one and I really like this one. In fact, I’m going to get it.

And I’m not stopping there. I know these are old but THE HEEL IS GOLD. Not literally. Won’t they look darling with a pair of ribbed socks?

Boom. Tapped out. Bye.

BEHOLD: the funkiest of tops.

For a cool $2k, on sale.

Those Dries shirts rule but they’re pretty, not funky! If we’re talking socks: I like these a la Dazed & Confused/Wet Hot American Summer/Spongebob. The shoes you picked are size 7, a-hole.

I know we ix-nayed the funky pants, but previously, you mentioned bush-as-bottoms. I may have found the solution for just 58 dollars that illustrate a line from “Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary”: my, how your garden grows. 

And when it comes to “funky shirts” I think this Repousse Mec tee is the most I can handle. SOMEONE I KNOW MADE THAT! And I love this sweatshirt. Oh! What if it’s about funky BRA tops? Whatever. I’m done. I’m out of money.

Last question: what should I order for lunch?
