Loved this process of small adjustments that make an impact. This is an idea I'ver been really into and have written about (and named LOL, the LMA for Last Minute Adjustment). It was particularly interesting to me this idea about adding more weight at the top. That's something I've only just begun to identify as a detail that affects how I feel in an outfit. :-) can't wait to see this big packing -- good prep for my upcoming Mexico City trip! XX

Oh yes, I remember that newsletter! Haven't quite gotten to your compendium yet, and shall go have another look. Re the weight, even though I'm generally very minimal in accessorizing, I find I'm really sensitive to the overall composition/balance of an outfit. At the same time, in the real world, people don't tend to see the full 360 at any given time. But it matters to me, when I look in the mirror, and that's what counts!

Thank you for sharing the thought process behind buttoning up the shirt and layering your necklace over it. I love the result. Seemingly small details make such a difference. Enjoy your vacation with your boys! ❤️

Thank-you! I see that they have former HR and CM connections so I love to support a Canadian brand.

No more of the grey/white stripe banker but they have a blue stripe with white collar and cuff banker launching in a few weeks!

I bought this Zara dress after seeing it on you a few weeks ago, and can attest that it is AMAZING. Trying to figure out the bra sitch though..... Having breastfed 3 kids the no bra thing is... ahem... kinda impossible ;)

I wear a strapless bra and it doesn’t show!

Ahhh ok! The back is pretty low on me which limited my options of what I own. Will have to try a few!

Hi Irene, love your TLine shirt. It’s a bit hard to tell from the photo but is the collar a contrast white or it an all white shirt and my eyes are playing tricks? If it’s a contrast white, I love how subtle it is. I don’t love the blue and white shirts with highly contrast white collars so I am looking for something more subtle. The link you provided was to an all white shirt.

Hi Sheila! It’s a contrast collar shirt, but I think they are out of stock in it online. Let me check with the designer if they have any in stock and get back to you asap!
