My Moving Outfit
For the move I have yet to schedule and the house I have yet to rent
Have we sold our house yet? No.
Do I have a rental lined out yet? No.
Do I even know when I will be moving? No.
Do I have an outfit for moving day? You betcha!
Just call me a sociopath. It’s okay, I’m comfortable with it. The other day I found myself strolling down Melrose Place. I dipped into The Row and proudly walked out empty handed after trying on these brown cord’s that were very tempting to buy. So, ever since I’ve been on a (wo)man hunt to find a similar pair. I am eyeing these, these and these and will keep you posted on which ones fit the bill.
After I left a gallon size drool trail as I left The Row, I trotted down to Rachel Comey where I almost always find something that lasts a while in my closet.
This sweet Garrett Romper from Rachel Comey hit a sweet spot for me and I purchased it for my big “moving day” that isn’t even close to being on the horizon yet. I’m tempted to tailor the shorts and make them a bit shorter and get rid of the raw hem but I’m going to wear them a few times before making that decision.
Speaking of moving, I’m writing this from my kitchen island and having major feelings tonight as I write this. It’s such a weird process because one night I’ll feel totally fine and 100% yes towards the selling of our house, and the next night I’ll have doubts and insecurities. It’s the best decision financially and personally, but it still feels difficult.
So is life…
Until next time!

I couldn’t agree more that this platform feels like the OG Damsel days. Love getting to see this side of you again! I really like your idea about hemming the romper. You have the best intuition, so I’ll be excited to see how you end up styling this piece. As a fellow Texan, I’ve always rooted for you over the years and know you’ll navigate this season of life with grace and just enough grit. When you’re a farmer’s daughter, you have to have both! Xx
Don’t feel pressure to speak before you are ready (or at all). Having recently been through some major family and life changes recently, I felt more comfortable keeping things private until everything was settled and I was at peace. I think you have a great community of people supporting you, whatever you decide and you owe us nothing :)
