Did I understand this correctly? Did your daughter create an app from that experience? I have a degree in fashion design, although you wouldn't guess it by the way I dress. My uniform is ripped jeans and t-shirts. But I can dress up. I'd be motivated to dress better if my weight was down. But that magazine spread brought back memories! I used to buy every fashion mag. Every. Month. I loved the fashion layouts. The colours. The textures. The titles on the spreads. I always loved the wordplay. The tongue in cheek! Mostly cheek! That's one thing I love about writing on Substack. Titling my posts. You're always going to get me with a snappy title.
I am so sorry for the delayed reponse. I am just seeing this now. Thank you for your comments. I am with you. That was always my favorite part about flipping through InStyle. Sadly I can’t recall the last time I even purchased a magazine. Times have changed. No she didn’t create an app. She’s just using it to make life easier and to see what she has in a different way. It’s given her a great new sense of style. It’s been fun to watch. Wow…a fashion design degree! II am envious Amanda inspired!
Leslie, I adored the image of the heels tucked into the tote alongside the trainers. 😊 But what struck me most was the idea that confidence comes from removing unnecessary decisions rather than adding more choices. And like Kevin said... those two Hershey's Kisses made the perfect ending. Loved it. X
Leslie, the two Hershey’s Kisses quietly hold the whole piece together for me. Elise can move from Malibu to McLean, sneakers to heels, college toward professional life, while something familiar still travels inside the lunch bag her father gave her. Teaching her to see possibilities inside what she already owns feels equally significant: you are helping her enter a new room with less decision noise and more attention available for the work she came to do. Grateful for the way you weave style, motherhood, and letting go into a story about preparing a daughter to recognize what she already carries.
I couldn’t download this app fast enough. But photographing my whole closet???
Pieces for work maybe? Or going out?
Elise uses it for both. It helps her keep track and not repeat but also lets her plan ahead. The app is brilliant.

Love these sentiments, Leslie. And as a woman who grew up in MN, it ALWAYS pays to have a second set of footwear with you 😉😆
