Emerson Made

I adore Emerson Made. I was hoping to acquire one of their fabulous caftans when it came back into stock, but since I'm on spending lockdown indefinitely, I was not able to buy it.

Instead, I have decided to set my sights on key pieces for fall when I will finally be able to wear jackets and jeans without a. sweating to death, and b. hearing from everyone how I wear jeans so much. I'm loving the silk shirts that are everywhere lately, and I have brought out a peach colored pleated front silk number I bought about three years ago from J.Crew that I never wore. This summer alone I've worn it three times, and I wish I had it in ten other colors. Too bad I spill olive oil on everything I own (this included) and can simply wear things about three times before I ruin it beyond repair. Anyone remember the olive oil stain I left on my Mitchell Gold sofa this summer after falling asleep, and leaving a big old salad to seep into the cushion? Fact is, I am looking forward to wearing it among other silks, tees, denims under jackets this cool season, which for me, can't come fast enough. I simply hate summer.

I'm obsessing over this tuxedo jacket. Last year I bought a cheap one for about $78 from Urban Outfitters and wore it all the time. Not sure what happened to it, but it now appears I have ruined it. Some type of waxy yellow thing all over the back of the jacket. Drats. It was one of those jackets that looked good with anything, and that I always received compliments on. I bought a different tuxedo jacket from ben Sherman for about four times that price in Vegas two years ago, and it just never feels right or comfortable when I wear it. So, when I slim down after I embarrass myself in front of my four skinny girl friends at the beach with my grosser than gross body (which is really why I needed that caftan), I will wear this jacket with skinnies, flairs, bells, you name it all season.

And here she is...
