I agree with investment pieces. What a great way to save some big $$$$. I’m so minimal about all I wear and have that it’s worth it to me to invest in like one or two things that last forever. I have 4 coach bags and a fossil and one Kate spade and one Vince camuto. All 100% leather and they haven’t begun to show age yet. And the pair of flat riding leather boots I have I bought 10 years ago and they literally have 2 nicks on the tip and the shoe doctor will fix them for me like new. Hope all is well with you Kate. Thinking of you. Blessings to you and yours
I'm in the same exact boat! It's a nice feeling, verses the constant "need" I used to feel to buy, buy, buy. And thank you for the kind words. We are both doing well and I'll have an update for you soon xx
Hopefully you and your husband are doing well with all the transitions. Beautiful classic pics, just no longer need to buy anything, but great ones. I have a 100 wool coat and a great fitted leather jacket that I have had for years, but I have to admit that the last trench I bought was from Banana Republic in Italian linen. Still a good one.
I did not plan on making any purchases other than my yearly purchase of bras. However, I did end up getting the Coach Hutton Box bag. Looked very Chanel boy bag to me. I typically carry crossbody bags. I have a few Coach bags and I love them all. ❤. I thought I had scored the Farm Rio blouse but later got an email that my order was canceled. 😭
Oh no! Did the Farm Rio blouse sell out before they could ship it to you? I vaguely remember something similar happening to me either last year or the year prior during the Anniversary Sale. I imagine their system gets totally fried with all of the purchasing they inspire!! xx
Hi Sweetie …. Great advice I love the wool coat too I was looking at it in my catalogue that came in the mail. ❤ the house goes up for sale this week. There is no way he can keep up with all the snow anymore and plowing. It’s really bittersweet :(
Hi friend! I devoured that catalogue haha. And I'm so sorry to hear about the house going up for sale. I totally understand how bittersweet it must be for you both. Will you stay in the same area? xx
I reviewed the catalogue thoroughly but ultimately decided to purchase only a few of the organic t-shirts you mentioned. As for the house, it's a bittersweet transition, but relocating from the mountains is essential for his well-being. The snow didn’t stop until June this year, and managing the snow plow has become too burdensome. I recently applied to a senior citizen apartment village and received a call today about a two-bedroom unit-what a blessing! The apartment is well-suited with features like bathroom bars, shower seats, and large walk-in showers. With his stem cell transplant scheduled in Portland, Oregon (about a five-hour drive from our current location) in three months, the timing for this move is ideal. Post-transplant, we will need to stay in the hospital for seven days. During this period, he will be isolated, and I will be on a small cot in the room with strict infection control measures. Following the hospital stay, we will be placed in special housing next to the hospital for daily visits for three weeks. If all goes well, we will have the apartment to return to, which will greatly aid in his aftercare, including showering him, managing his appointments, and supporting his recovery. With a team of ten doctors involved, it’s a considerable effort, but I am remaining positive and strong. However, I must admit that the process has been overwhelming, and I finally broke down today, feeling the weight of everything on my shoulders. I know your prayers are working my sweet friend so keep them coming. God bless you darling! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼💜💜🫶🏻 after this is over and the house sells. We will be living in my home that I have rented out at the present time. It too will be much closer to his doctors. ❤️
The years fly by. Thanks for the research.

I’ve had my Stuart Weitzman 50/50 boot for over 10 years. The cost is well worth it. Go for the lowland if you love.
Oh nice! Thank you for sharing that. I'm glad to hear that they definitely stand the test of time xx

Hi! Banana Republic makes some phenomenally nice clothing so I have no doubt that the trench is a stunner xx
Great choices!!
Thank you! xx
