I have serious question: Why do we bother with linen clothing? I mean, when they’re freshly laundered and ironed, they’re gorgeous. You put them on and you look like someone who owns a quaint $10 million house in Nantucket. You probably own lots of fancy wine glasses with stems and everything.

But as soon as you so much as scratch your upturned nose, you immediately look like someone who just woke up on the beach outside a $10 million house in Nantucket, cradling a bottle of 2 Buck Chuck.

The transition is quick, and it is aggressive, people.

Yet here I am wearing a linen shirt (and I wore it again this week). You’ll note that I’m conveniently hiding most of the shirt under a trench and standing in the sun to reflect light. Hence the nature of my question: Seriously, why do I bother?

Have you been thinking “I can’t wait for Sarah to show me another pair of boyfriend jeans?” And have you also been thinking “I hope she shows zero creativity and wears them in basically the same outfit as last time?” Well you. are. in. luck. Because here I am in another fitted tee, girly sandals, and slouchy denim. I’d love to give you a helpful list of “5 Ways to Style Boyfriend Jeans” but clearly I am not qualified to give such advice. I can only advise on easy stuff like intellectual property law.

So for now I’ll just keep perfecting this particular combo, and if you need more ideas, allow me to refer you to my colleague, the Rest of the Internet.
