I have been so good the past few weeks, only buying secondhand, but I slipped last night. I was searching the new arrivals on Zara and saw the linen pants that are in the roundup (number 11).
And they really caught my eye.
I’ve been searching for black linen pants since the beginning of this season, but I’ve yet to find a pair.
These have such an interesting shape, so I hope I am not disappointed. I probably should delete the Zara app from my phone to cut down the need to scroll.
We are going to see Beetlejuice the Musical tomorrow, or today, I guess, since it is 1 am. Anyway, I bought tickets for it in October, so it has been a long wait.
I still don’t know what I am going to wear. It says it’s going to rain, then it says it is not. It is going to be hot, but cold in there. Pain in the ass.
I’ll play around with some ideas tomorrow. Thankfully, there is no dress code.
In case you missed it, I made a post about finding your style and building a capsule that really works yesterday.

Why Are So Many More Women Being Diagnosed With ADHD?
SHOP THE UK LINKS
Way back in the mid 90s my sister was one of the rare girls who got diagnosed with ADHD because she had the more classically male symptoms. Her doctor recommended testing me just in case, but I was quiet, calm and a good student who didn’t really fit the stereotype at the time. Also I was a teenager and since it wasn’t really a serious health issue and I didn’t exhibit any obvious signs my parents let me have a say in it and I declined. Now that we know more about how it presents in girls and women though, sometimes I’ll see something that makes me wonder. Like a couple of years ago I watched a video with a woman with ADHD and she was joking about how she always had at least 3 drinks on the go “one for hydration, one for caffiene and one for flavor”. I kind of chuckled at first then realised that at that moment I had an iced coffee, glass of water and grape soda. And much like Laganja Estranja I felt very attacked.
I know a lot of women that didn’t get diagnosed until well into their 30s. Some even later and it was like a life changing revelation. They realized how much it hindered them and held them back as children. It’s so unfair that girls were lost like that just because they focused on how boys presented it instead of studying differences. I kind of do the same with drinks 😬 I currently have a sparkling water, ginger ale, and coffee.
