Huge fan of the pink! I have short lengths in my balloon skirt but you're making me rethink this for the longer length. Happy FOJ and welcome to Indyx!

Thanks Usha! I think the shorter balloon skirt is more sculptural which I love, but the longer makes me feel more pulled together somehow. Probably we need both lengths - haha. I am following you on Indyx! Geez it's addictive.

I am a first time reader, and I loved this! The kids, the clothes (especially Tibi), all the quirky life things that happen and are so comical (and not) lol.

I’m new to Indyx too and so agree - it’s a game changer! I’ve also wondered if I’m wearing the wrong length in the wilt joggers and calders. I’m 5”5 and have been wearing short but need to try the long!

Hi Sylvie! I think my next pair of Wilts will be long and maybe I should sell my short lenght? I also wear the short length in Calders - I think those might be okay because I find the fabric sort of "heavy" so they don't seem so short? But I need to rethink that for sure. Always learning!

Love the joggers on you, and with the red shoe! Also here to say the paid option of Indyx is so worth it!

Ditto on the pink looking amazing! Peeked at your Indyx closet - what amazing pieces you have! I’m obsessed with Indyx and it’s worth the $5 or so per month.

Yes, my closet is open though I don’t own any Tibi (yet). I’m a big fan of her however!

Hey Mrs. Solomon on Style's avatar

Those straight jeans! Wowza! You made me LOL when you talked about your girls asking for a "card" for the grocery store. Thank you for that.

Thanks Rachel! Yes, my entitled Gen-Z daughters and The CARD request. Where did I go wrong as a parent? "We loved them too much," says the hubs. Yeah, the jeans are GOOD.

I still use a paper calendar too! I handwrite to-do lists! I get fun little notebooks to put in stockings and Easter baskets. Sometimes I get fancy blank books for everyone (I like Paperblanks a lot!). I do not mobile order things either.

I feel seen - thank you! There is something so satisfying about crossing something off the to-do list. Just checked out the Paperblank journals and they are so pretty - great find.
