Best post of the summer, hands down. You have the best picnic wardrobe, so much good gingham and stripes and poplin! I love your collages, and I so wish we could all meet in Sheep’s Meadow with this feast and these friends!
Sogole! This was ridiculously good. I love the way you write about fashion and how your outfit formulas somehow always feel so refreshingly new. You’re a genius? And thank you so much for including me! In my dreams, this picnic party is real life — I’ll be seated in “The Clambake” but will need to make a quick outfit change into “The Pool Party” before dessert.
The way your brilliant little brain works is so fun! You literally tied like 12 trends into one; BUTTER yellow (c’mon) and wicker and gingham. I am very obsessed with this idea of picnic core as the best summer vibe.
Also, I LOVE seeing YOUR outfits. The Onia suit and the Cara Cara dress! You are so chic.
Kelly!! Thank you friend! It was so fun to put together and I’m honestly relieved to have a summer dress code to refer to as it takes the stress out!! Butter yellow + baguette 🥖 brown forever…!
I agree!!!! It’s so nice to see your interpretations from your own closet Sogole, makes me think about how I can use my own clothes rather than just clicking purchase on something I don’t need!!!
This is sooo good and so perfectly summery, Sogole! I LOVE summer clothes for the ease and the casual-ness.....and I think it is easier to go classic with these summer patterns!!! Love the gingham, striped tees and your Suzie Kondi outfit. (I had the dress in that plaid on my TRR obsessions but someone snagged it before I could. I can't really wear red so all fine! But that is a GOOD plaid!!)
I love my Sarah Bray hat because is is A ginormous and B has the interchangeable ribbons! We are hat sisters! A Substack summer picnic with those recipes would be sooo fun! Happy Summer! XX
Thank you Leslie!! I agree that summer event dressing needs to be super easy and these codes help us!! I LOVE that you also have Sarah’s hat! She is a dear friend and I love seeing what she’s created. My dream is to one day host a giant IRL picnic for us all!! Would be such an epic party!! 🎉
Sogole, you are brilliant. Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant. I love how your mind works. SO good. This post is so good of course but just how you think about things is brilliant.
Oh my Asta THANK YOU! That’s so kind esp coming from you— bc I think YOU’RE brilliant with the way you always challenge us to think different about colors and styling. Thanks again!!
Wait wait wait. What is preppy porn? I LOVE the idea of making picnic core my summer dress code. Holy-doing it now. Love the recipes. Need the fish tote. Thank you so so much for including me and with such amazing company. Eeeek! ❤️🤍❤️🤍❤️
Okay literally obsessed (as always)!!! I literally can’t get dressed for the life of me for casual events and to your point it may be bc no dress code??? Will be referring back to this all summer!!! Also obsessed with your crawfish and pool party looks - the gingham is superb!!!!
Thank you ladies! That's EXACTLY it! The lack of any sort of dress code sends me into a tailspin, bc I could go any which way! Picnic-core = easy button! Thank youuuuuu for reading! xoxo
