Your grandma’s sewing resonates with me. My grandma was a fantastic seamstress and would match things just as you describe. One year for Christmas, my cousin wanted a Marquette University basketball warmup suit. He is now 59 and this was before you could buy anything you want on the internet. My cousin gave her a picture and of course she made him a warmup suit that was exactly like what the team wore. To this day, it is one of his most treasured possessions. How I wish I would have learned to sew. Thank you for reminding me of if my grandma this morning.

I love that your grandmother sewed too - it’s a lost art in certain ways because now we can just buy “fast fashion” to get what we can’t afford. 🤍🤍

I just wanted to reach out to you to let you know how much I love this newsletter. Of all the fashion/shopping sites, sub stacks that I follow, yours is the best. It is a healthy mix of aspirational and attainable. The things I have purchased based on your recommendations have been complete keepers. Please keep it up! And yes, Closed jeans are terrific and not enough people know about them!

I am a devoted LOTR fan and look forward to listening to you and Molly every Tuesday on my drive to work. I didn’t realize how much your recommendations influence my fashion style, especially at work and daily life. I’m an attorney and I’m loving all of the fashion and beauty tips you share which I have been using. My colleagues always ask where I got a piece of clothing or beauty product, that was typically something I heard from you both! Btw, I also have 3 girls (11 year old twins and 14) so I love hearing you talk about mom life. Cherish all of those memories and keep them going as they get older. Love my husband, but girls trips with my daughters are the best!!

I have curly hair shoulder length that I blow dry straight. I would love more hair tips on how to style and what products to use. I love my K18 hair masks but want to learn more about what’s out there! Best styling products, tools and blow outs! Keep up the great work. I really love the great work you’re doing!

I love the part about your grandmother. I work at a store that sells and repairs sewing machines and she reminds me of so many of the older women who I work with on a daily basis. I wrote an article about them that you might like:

Fashion has always been a bit of an obsession for me, but I’m newer to the beauty space. Your recommendations and how-tos have helped me build an enviable makeup wardrobe and I’m having so much fun playing with with it all. I am also really inspired by the idea of women finding our next chapters, and that you and your best friend get to help each other be successful and build up other women in the process is so wonderful to see. So keep the content coming. We are here for it and happy for all that you share!
