LWSF Closet Drop #1

including fashion Substack's viral necklace

I’m glad my last letter hit home for so many of you! I’ve been loving the back-and-forth in the comments — it’s such a relief to know I’m not alone in this.

I do want to clarify something: there’s absolutely no “right” number of items to own. It’s so personal, and only you can determine what works for your actual life. While 144 pieces it isn’t objectively huge, the moment I realized how much further I had to go felt genuinely overwhelming. I love most of what’s in my closet, but I’m increasingly craving the idea of owning less.

More to come on my wardrobe indexing revelations in upcoming letters.

You know how sometimes things just fall into place and click perfectly? That’s exactly what happened when

Claire (Illmer) Gray

reached out Wednesday evening. We jumped on a call Friday morning, and somehow I’m now partnering with
