“Or order this new one and beat it up yourself.” if this lets you know where my brain is, I first read this as “beat yourself up” i.e. for not getting a secondhand shirt 🤣

This is a great post.

Those (men's) rollneck sweaters show up at your better goodwills regularly; I don't think the guys that got them as gifts ever wore them (same with the wool)

(Also appreciate your use of the term button-up)

Such a throwback! I miss '90s styles sometimes because it was so comfy. Quirky, but comfy.

Totally, you're right. Anyway I always carry a light sweater or scarf etc because of A/C so it could work. I'm in love with a brand designed in Miami made in Peru with the most delicious, softest, coziest 100% Pima cotton. Washes beautifully. I seldom take it off.

Only in seeing the header image did I feel a deep yearning for all the oversized pocket tees I had five years ago…

Praying the thrift gods make those red pleated silk pants appear at a thrift store by me this summer! The pleating really helps avoid a pajama vibe 👌🏻 My favorite thrifted 90s J Crew item is a dark gray speckled sweater that is all wool. I thrifted two of their cardigans that were made in Hong Kong like 15 years ago (one in dark green, one in hot pink) last weekend.
