I always get so excited when I see you have posted another substack, because I know I am about to learn about another incredible brand to obsess over. I had never heard of Organic John Patrick and now I am lusting over all of their knitwear, including the wide turtleneck in black you highlighted here and the Nikki cardigan in fern. However, both are already sold out in my size. What is your opinion on sizing up in a style like this? Do you think it would be too much, since it is already a boxy and oversized cut? I am 5’6’’, so neither short nor tall.
From your outfits, #2, 6, 8, and 9 are my favorites, though honestly I could see myself wearing every one. Thank you for going out of your comfort zone to show us these great styling choices! They illustrated so perfectly your points around how to style this sweater and I am going to be using a couple of them as templates. I might be recreating #6 from head to toe sometime in the near future. And a vintage sable is on my watch list now, who would have thought it could look so modern!
Hi BS, Thanks so much for you words of encouragement! Regarding sizing I'm wearing a small and I'm 5'3", 110 lbs. The small is good for me so I think you could do a Medium, I just checked on the site and they still have the black turtle in M.
Funny story about the Sable, Eric the designer of and my dear friend bought it back when he saw it on Poshmark for only $130, an absolute steal for Sable, and he kindly presented it to me! Eric wrote a guest post for me in July with another coming soon!
Hello from Santa Cruz, CA. Recently found your substack and love it. Silly question, the Vivier boots you wearing #10- how is sizing? I must have them and found some on eBay and TRR but unsure . Any insight will be greatly appreciated. Happy New Year, look forward to your posts and playing with my “collection” again.
Hi Dewie, I love those boots! They are super comfortable and surprisingly versatile. I've also clocked a lot of miles walking in them and they are holding up great. I'm a size 7 and they seem to run a tad large which is fine because I usually wear thick socks with them. Get your true size and you should be good. Thanks so much for reading and Happy New Year to you too!!
