When I am bored or not able to sleep, I redecorate houses in
my mind. Mostly I concentrate on houses I’ve lived in, like our starter house
or past apartments. This is a little weird, but it keeps me entertained and
costs nothing.
My friend Sevi has, unwittingly, unleashed a similar
phenomenon in me. Recently, Sevi offered up the idea that she was thinking of
cutting in bangs. The group erupted. Everyone
had opinions about what Sevi should do with her hair. Here’s why: Sevi is
stunning. She could have, basically, no hair and still be stunning. So all our
advice was guaranteed to be good.
There’s nothing worse than offering advice that turns out to
be stunningly bad, as when I told my friend she just had to adopt a well
behaved, prison-trained dog. And then the dog she adopted tried to kill her
cat. I still feel terrible about that, so I’ve tried to reign myself in on the
advice-giving front.
But I can’t help doing it in my mind. Which is what I did
this weekend when I stumbled across a new clothing brand: Pim &
Larkin. They have the cutest clothes. They’re J.Crew-ish but more streamlined
and easier on the wallet. Which means you could buy lots of them. Which is exactly
what I think Sevi should do.
You see I can’t be getting them myself as this weekend my
fella ominously told me we should talk about “the budget”. Am pretty sure our budget
talk will not include a brand new wardrobe for me from Pim & Larkin. But someone should have a brand new wardrobe
from Pim & Larkin. Their clothes are just that cute. So, in my mind, that
someone should be Sevi. Because they’re exactly her style and so
non-budget-busting. (Everyone will think so, except possibly Sevi’s husband.)
Anyway, here are my top picks for Sevi and anyone else whose
fella is not currently frowning and uttering that terrible “b” word (“b” for budgets, of
course.) All available at piperlime.com. (Click this link to go to piperlime.com where you can check out more Pim & Larkin finds.)
cashmere sweater $69
tee $59. How cute would this be with a chunky, orange necklace? You can get 'em for a song at Target.
The peplum top is very on-trend. ($59) With skinny jeans and flats? Talk about momshell!
