This is so brilliant; “what this outfit sounds like” is perfect! Truly the number of times I’ve put on a banger of an outfit and felt like the main character in a movie with background music playing!! That’s what this felt like.

Ahhhhh… you totally get it!! That is exactly the vibe. Your own personal soundtrack moment to set the mood. Now I’m so curious to hear everyone else’s main character songs when they’re wearing a fit that makes them feel good!

Thank you SO much for taking the time to read my work. Your support means so, so much to me!!

Such good looks and songs! Love your collages, and how many boxer shorts are too many boxer shorts??(asking for a friend…ok that friend is me) (also cracking up about your husband: he retreated…lol)

As Cady Heron from Mean Girls discovered (and relating it to boxer shorts) — the limit does not exist! I overuse this reference way too much, but I love it.

God bless my husband’s soul. The four-shirt man just couldn’t comprehend such a dressy look for a children’s BBQ...... but to me, it all made perfect sense in my mind. I always opt for overdressed in all occasions!

Thank you for taking the time to read and restack my work!! I truly appreciate your kindness and support!!!

Ahh reading this made me so happy! Haha I ALSO pick my own songs vs. Trending music for most Instagram reels. I am all about feeling it vs just what's trending. Also, I now understand why you love this corner over Instagram. Substack is made for people like YOU! You have beautiful writing style, gorgeous and authentic taste for fashion... something Instagram cannot appreciate.

We have similar taste in music and my favorite track of yours is #9. love the yellow and white mix. However, i LOVE all of your outfits, so definitely a hard choice. Penny Rose is stylish like her momma! -xoxo

Aha! I’m 5’3 and too lazy to get things hemmed. I’m so glad I got to see it on you! It’ll be great in the fall too with a big sweater over or a thin turtleneck under.

Are you staking out my Spotify, Traci?? I too love Hozier! I too have been jamming to Role Model (my kid is sick of me randomly yelling out “Sally!”)! I too enjoy Olivia Rodrigo’s brand of pop! Maybe I (you?) just have really basic musical taste 😂 but who cares, I (and you?) love it

Traci Landy's avatar

LOL... You are going to laugh - but I channeled you a little as I did this. I said Angela is allergic to trends. I could delve into my more pop v v v basic music choices - or I can go into my "hearted" playlist and really pull the meat and potatoes of music I love!!!

My very literal children will often say, "WHO IS SALLY?"

And I don't know about you, but when I love a song -- it's on repeat until I feel nauseous of it. Very toxic trait.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read/support my work!!! I appreciate you.

Angela Jones's avatar

Now YOU’RE going to laugh—I literally have a post in drafts about sources of style inspiration and one of them is… songs. Somehow we’ve ended up on the same wavelength, and I feel like we just met!!

I definitely do get the urge to repeat ad nauseam, but nowhere near as bad as my husband 😂 but seriously, “Aw shit here we go again, I’m fallin’ head first” is such an earworm—!

Loved this so much 🤘

Thank you!!! I had so much fun with it! I think I’m learning I love a good theme, but the introvert in me greatly fears attending any themed party in real life.

I loved your post from yesterday, and when I saw you included the playlist at the end, I giggled because I was feeling a similar musical energy and fashion vibe this week.

Thank you for your continued support. It truly means so much to me!

Thank you, Katelyn!!! As a self-proclaimed music (and coffee) snob, the pressure was ON. I like to monopolize the aux cord everywhere I go. I hope you enjoyed this post! I truly appreciate your support. <3
