welcome to the butter yellow bandwagon

ALSO INSIDE: Lisa Says Gah on sale, stretchy Quince jeans I need an opinion on, and more

Hi friends!

Sorry to miss the send last week – life continues to be NUTS but should be calming down soon, so I can do my favorite activity of each week and write ATSCs more regularly!

As has been the theme of this year, we are eagerly anticipating EVERYTHING, and that means today, we are focusing on all things springs and warmth and sunshine. (More details below, but I’ve been a member of the Nudge for years and am trying to make an effort to use their local plans/itineraries more as summer approaches!)

And along those lines… I was a fan of butter yellow last year, but for some reason, it is just hitting DIFFERENT this year. So I’m joining the bandwagon approximately 11 or so months late lol. Here are some of the things I’ve been looking at:

Women's High Rise Satin Lace-Hem Mini Skirt • Breaknet Sleek Shoes • Cielo Mini Dress • Women's Easy Off-The-Shoulder Sweatshirt & Fleece Shorts Set - Butter Yellow • Tracie Butter Suede • Oversized Linen Blend Shirt • Blossom Skirt • The Hollace Tote: Mini Edition • Fit & Flare Sleeveless Linen-Blend Midi Dress • SHOW ME YOUR MUMU | Melie Bianco Dakota Shoulder Bag ~ Pale Yellow • HOLLISTER | Women's Crew Baby Tee • Collage Created on Zeen

Some of my faves here:

• That perfect linen shirt with the ties ($46)

• The shift dress with the ruching ($79)

• That insanely cute mini tote ($78)

Also, as y’all know, I make all of these collages on Zeen, and they have a TON of exciting updates here and on the way. One of them is these videos you can generate from your collages!

And Zeen is becoming available to everyone next week on March 25th!!! Huge, huge congrats to them – they are all amazing ❤️ you can check out more info here!

And now, onto more fun stuff…

B.N.W.T.

1. Cotton top with stud detail from Mango, $35

Heads up, new summer essential going out top just dropped.

2. Weekend Slide from Rothy’s, $99 (sale)

Rothy’s are definitely on the pricier side but IMO worth it – I LOVE mine. And all their sandals and totes are currently on sale, snagging these for under $100 is a deal!!!

3. Bella Stretch Barrel Jeans from Quince, $50

The new stretch jeans from Quince are occupying too many of my thoughts. I must know, are they actually comfy??? Has anyone tried them?

4. Mason Slate Stripe Drawstring Pants from Dissh, $73 (sale)

Icymi, we are also in the midst of a major Dissh sale until this upcoming Monday (3/24).

5. Cache Carry-All from Cache, $25

Merch from the fabulous Cache team!! I waited too long initially, and this incred tote was sold out, so I SNATCHED it this time. Gonna be my new summer tote :)

Get Thrifty

1. Lisa Says Gah Lauren Midi Skirt from Nuuly @ Urban Outfitters, Sizes XS, S, + M, $40

2. Urban Renewal Upcycled Tri-Splice Button-Down Shirt from Nuuly @ Urban Outfitters, One Size, $15

Something about this splicing and color combo just makes my brain happy.

For my friends with spring and summer weddings coming up!

4. Lioness Eivissa Baggy Jeans from Nuuly @ Urban Outfitters, Size M, $25

5. UO Printed Fleece Jacket from Nuuly @ Urban Outfitters, Sizes XS + M, $40

Reminder that now is a good time to grab jackets you love while they’re on sale!

Shop Small 4 Ever

More Fun Stuff

The Benable list of the week is 🥁🥁🥁… my March Etsy finds! A bunch of new stuff in here :)

• Some Substack reads I loved this past week include:

  • This great take from Sogole Kane of Another Fashion Newsletter on taking care of AND wearing your clothes!!

  • This great breakdown on colorful pieces (featuring the coolest graph I have ever seen) from Totally Recommend

  • this guest piece from iza on ★culture vulture★ that is inspiring this wannabe journaler to try again

• If you are also the planner friend who always wants to try something new/fun… I highly recommend the Nudge! I’ve been a member for years, they give you access to tons of recommended local spots AND ALSO full afternoon/morning/evening agendas if that’s what you’re looking for! They also source their recs from their audience (so you get to participate which is very fun!). My ref link is here :)

• If you aren’t listening to Gabby Windey’s podcast, it is literally my favorite thing under the sun right now.

• Last ATSC’s most clicked links were:

  • Megan McSherry’s very cool piece on upcycling tote bags! (here’s her tutorial btw)

  • the cutie Vera Bradley tomato quilted wallet

  • the Abercrombie green track-ish sweatpants (still on sale!)

That is all for now!! Hope you’re having a great Saturday, and I’ll see you next week 💛
