Oh, this should be fun! A lovely reader sent me the following email:

Hi Desaline, I’m not sure if you’d want to help with this but I love the outfits you’ve posted so far so I thought I’d give it a shot! I’m meeting my new fiance’s parents in a few weeks for a fancy brunch and I have no idea what to wear! I’d like to wear a dress but- I don’t know how! I normally wear skinny jeans or leggings with old thrift store tees. Do you have any suggestions? I’ve got a bohemian/vintage vibe going on and I hate the color pink and I want to look girly and dressy without too froufrou or formal. And of course I’m on a serious grad student budget, so nothing too expensive. Thanks, Sabina

Hi Sabina! I think I’m the last person who should be giving fashion advice, but I put together this cute (I think!), affordable outfit:

If anyone else wants me to throw together an outfit for them, just hit me up!

This weekend, we’re going to have brunch in the City with some lovely friends/ex-coworkers whom I haven’t seen since I was pregnant. It’s been so long since I’ve just gone out and had a meal with friends, and I just might pee myself from the excitement. As long as Ezra complies, I’m hoping to spend a nice day on the beach afterward. Let’s just hope things don’t go awry again.
