Dressing up, a lot or just enough. Knowing what to wear when we don’t know what the occasion calls for requires versatility, mixing and matching, dressed up in a way that appears effortless. Think less – fewer accessories, but just the right ones. Nice shoes, but in a neutral hue that doesn’t ‘perfectly’ match, yet still works.

Below you will find many items on sale, and significantly so. I have indicated the percentage, as some designer brands have steeply reduced prices worth checking out. I also included a pair of Warby Parker frames, a style that caught my eye (pun intended) when I stepped into their brick-and-mortar this past weekend, and loved how the wide size looked in this particular frame. They come in different colors and three sizes, if that is what you are looking for (okay, enough with the puns 🙃).

And one of the best accessories to invest in for dependable, effortless style is radiant skin, so below, I have also included the latest skincare item I have been using (since September) and am loving. I have updated the post/episode that details my entire skincare routine here, including this new addition, along with the new lip balm I now use, and where to shop to save money on both.

And, yep! Books are included with each outfit, and two will be released in 2026, and I cannot wait for them to be available. Perhaps you, too, will want to preorder them – Francophiles and gardeners get ready to try to resist. ☺️
