Hi!

HOW is it November?? How is it already dark before 5pm?? How is Thanksgiving just a couple weeks away. I do not know.

BUT, the beauty of this series is that we go back in time! Let’s rewind to the last two weeks of my favorite month of the year!

What I Wore

This was a big week at work - we had all of our international partners in to see and buy the Fall 2026 collection. I love hearing about the business around the globe, and what customers in different countries are buying, wearing, and loving.

Monday
Suede Jacket | Striped Shirt* | Wide Leg Navy Pants | Comfy Heels* | Belt | New Favorite Sunglasses

I always wear the brand I work for during market weeks, and have been loving this suede cropped jacket. You’ve seen it before, and you’ll see it again. These heels continue to amaze me, they took me through 12 hours and 8,000 steps all over the city, from uptown to the office to our store and evening event all the way downtown. I highly recommend.

Tuesday
Tan Blazer | Track Pants | Sweater Vest | Leather Knot Bracelet | Mary Janes

Oops, I actually didn’t wear the brand today, but I did (purposefully) twin with my colleague. We both wore our track pants, which are truly the best dress-up/dress-down pants. He paired with a navy sweater and button-down, I went with an ivory sweater vest and vintage Prada blazer.

Wednesday
Perfect Navy Blazer | Rugby | Chinos | Loafers (alt here - use code Lindsay10 for 10% off!)

Making up for Tuesday, I wore a very on-brand look today. (My rugby is a men’s one.) It’s so preppy, I love it.

Thursday
Sweater | Suede Skirt | Boots | Necklace*

A halfway-to-fancy day! Man, these in-between outfits pop up a lot, and I’ve really been leaning into my formula. I switched it up with my mom’s vintage slouchy knee-high boots, which were so comfortable. Today was extra fun because I got to hang with

Friday
Blazer | New Favorite Jeans (Kelly actually asked if they were Consistency Project jeans because they have a very vintage 90s vibe! They’re on sale so I might get them in a black wash too) | Cardigan (my new styling hero item) | Belt | Bracelet | Perfect Black Boots (I fell in love with these, bought them, wore them immediately, and can confirm they’re excellent.)

The day I’d been waiting not-so-patiently for arrived! I got to meet so many women in real life whom I’ve been reading and chatting with on Substack for months and months. It was hard not to fangirl! First I met

Jennifer Klee
to take the subway together, and it was like meeting someone I’d known forever. Then we walked into The Consistency Project where
Kelly Williams
,
Sogole Kane
,
Harriet Hadfield
,
Emily Grady Dodge
,
Jordyn Sharfe
, and
Meighan Grady
greeted us like we were family. It truly felt like coming home. Instant friendship, camaraderie and delight - and the denim was out of this world. I’m not usually a social shopper but I think it’s safe to say we all quickly realized we were in good hands with both the store associates (and each other). They measured and then pulled. “Try this for fit, not for wash. Try this for wash not for fit. We can take it in here. Here’s what the label means. Here’s what shoes to wear.” I tried my second pair on and felt like I was living out The Sisterhood of Traveling Pants. Perfect, magical fit. Some of the group left to change but I didn’t have time to get back uptown and had planned this all-day outfit that I hoped would see me through. After a stop with

at Buck Mason, we went to Temple bar where we met another gaggle of Substackers:
Taylor Barnett
,
Traci Landy
,
Libby McCurrach
,
Evonne Sturm
,
Kendall Flavin
,

women,
Alex DiCapo Patel
, and
Stephanie Johnson
. What a dream of a day.

Sunday
Long Barn Coat | Sweatshirt | Canvas Pants* | Long Sleeve Shirt | Slides | Socks

Sports day!

Katelyn Cnossen
asked a few of us what we wear on the sidelines or in the stands of the sporting events we attend, and my hack this fall has been a great jacket. One that’s warm, and cool.

If You Catch a Substacker at a Sporting Event
I love sports. Alright let me be clear, I prefer playing sports over watching them. However, lately I’ve been getting into going to a few Blazers basketball games and Timber’s soccer matches. Partly for the comradery, and partly for the excuse to put a look together…
