After years of being on Poshmark, I just realized that I can adjust the app notifications so that my phone doesn’t constantly get flooded.

I thought it was an all-or-nothing sort of thing, and because I didn’t want to miss important notifications like sales and questions, I just went with all.

Now I have fixed that.

A Zara nearby got renovated, and today I did a walk through it, and there was so much stuff. It was almost overwhelming.

I swear everything from online was in there. So what I noticed, not that we didn’t see it coming, is that suede is huge for fall.

And based on what I saw today, the options are endless. It is an anything goes situation.

So, this is my reminder to you (again) that you can find suede jackets secondhand. They are everywhere. And while the Zara ones are beautiful, they are $300-$500, and we can do way less than that, my friends.

Like this olive green vintage Danier, which is a similar vibe to the one I was wearing today.

In case you missed it, I put together a preppy minimalist fall capsule yesterday, and I can’t stop thinking about so many of the pieces. Especially the cape.
