Your Bruce Willis-themed week was incredibly creative! I never considered him a fashion icon before, but you completely changed my perspective. The way you showcased his casual sweats paired with a leather jacket was brilliant—such a sharp eye for detail. I have a newfound appreciation for his style now!
Loving your take on the skin sandwich! I have an addiction to socks and also love a skin sandwich but have been hesitant to do this due to the fashion "rules", it's so good to be reminded that although they are super helpful (especially the tibi rules), we don't have to actually follow any of them - just have to be brave and confident enough to try something different. Another substack author suggested trying your experimental outfits for when you are just popping out to the post office or supermarket which I too have found to be really helpful! As I get older I'm enjoying experimenting more and more!
I have been LOVING your Bruce Willis stuff on IG, haha. It's genius and hilarious. Exactly what I need right now.
PS - I lost my granddad on Saturday night. This week, I have been doing everything I can to be there for my incredible, strong-as-hell mum. I found myself re-reading your work from the past few weeks and it's helped me show up for her in a better way. Doing god's work, Rachel.
I hope you continue to draw energy and strength from your loved ones and being home!
I LOVED all these outfits. I seriously think Tibi should be sponsoring you - every time I've decided I've broken up with them, I see their pieces on you, and they look so good! They really are AMAZING at sweat pants and pleated skirts especially
Oh! I love this theme. How do you find the Hey Gang shirts? Would you mind sharing the size you have on? I'd love to try them, but trying to figure out sizing.
OBSESSED with your Thursday and Friday outfits. I’m a fan of Margiela tabi shoes and owns several pairs and anytime I see them on other people, it brings me such joy. In fact, I wore my tabi maryjane with red tabi socks out tonight.
Also are you a heavy arm stacker? I see you pairing your beautiful watch with bangles and bracelets. I’m a watch lover (not a serious one) and I’m slowly getting into the art of stacking… curious what you think of it or how you strategize it
Thank you so much! I love watches and bracelets and sometimes just repeat but other times strategize a little more — like the one that wraps … I went to that because the sleeve was long and exposed and that seemed to give the subdued outfit more visual oomph. I should do something on watches! Also my mood — sometimes more more more/less … sometimes the outfit wants big masc or sometimes dainty, etc! Xx
Loved this theme! I was going to ask you about getting Winslow sweats versus (another) pair of calders but I guess I have my answer haha. And interesting to hear v2 of the Tibi book was engrossing…I’ve been resisting since I already have the original.
Oh Rachel, you had to tell me that the gorgeous Tibi dress was on sale. What am I going to do?! I’ll have to sleep on it (as always) but I love that dress.
PS- so excited for your Three Bean Salad prompt in the future. I watched Hannah’s video and loved it!!

Yayyyyy! It was so much fun to pull the mood board together -- so many good signatures.

I 1000% agree and do that too - experiment and get a coffee and go home and see how it felt. Low risk! This is supposed to be fun xx

MY LOVE -- I am so sorry. These are some of our deepest connections. And your mum is lucky to have you. Unbridled success story. XO.
The tinsel top!! I may just have to step away from the computer and out of my cozy robe on this snowy Monday... Can't wait to get back to MIA!
Seriously— hurrrrrryyy (!)
Outstanding weak outfits!!!
Week not weak!!!!🤦🏻♀️
LOL — I knew what you meant. My typo sister XX
Clearly I don’t read before I hit the send button. Could cause a lot of trouble

😂 thank you so much

I would say TTS. It’s a shirt that’s neither tight nor loose. I honestly could do a small or medium and I believe I have one of each.

I resisted too for the same reason … grrrr!
