2. A broken-in trench. My mother’s is the basic belted type, however I like this streamlined model and pull it on on a regular basis, together with over pajamas when strolling the boys to high school.
3. Shades of brown. Evidently, folks put on plenty of black in New York — the opposite day, I appeared round our neighborhood café and all 14 folks in line had been wearing black — however! I like how tender and wealthy brown feels, particularly when layered with different browns. And apparently it’s now cool to combine black and brown, so off we go.
4. Outsized shirts look effortlessly cool…
…particularly when the sleeve is rolled all the best way up previous the elbow.
5. Lastly, my eyes stuffed up after I got here throughout this photograph of my beloved grandpa. And the way cool was his rollneck sweater? I by some means really feel touched that my brown babaà one is considerably much like his; we additionally each beloved consuming fish, listening to radio information, and watching kids play.
Do you have got previous pictures of kin? What was their type like? I’d love to listen to. All the time makes my coronary heart swell.
P.S. My mother’s magnificence uniform, having infants in Paris, and what it feels prefer to be a twin.
