Sticky Note: April 2025
Caught somewhere between a sweater and a sandal
Good morning! Keeping this intro short since I am running out to soccer class with my son—who cares far more about the bus ride we take to get there than he does about the activity itself. But still, it’s cute. Highlights from this month’s Sticky Note include:
Six variations on a hyper-fixation outfit vibe
A small roundup of secondhand crochet bucket hats
Two postpartum clothing wishlist items (one for me, and one for the new baby)
Great sarongs for $12 a pop
A niche headboard bolster quest
The outfit I hyper-fixated on…
I found myself doing a lot of riffing on the above outfit, originally pictured in my Spring 2025 “realistic lookbook.” At this point in pregnancy, when my wardrobe access is more limited, it’s easy to fall into the habit of replicating the same outfit again and again. I definitely do plenty of that, but when it starts to feel boring I try replicating the vibe of an outfit while using different components. This approach offers a nice middle ground if you, like me, find it easier to get dressed when you’re working around a particular template or theme, but still enjoy mixing it up. Keep scrolling for five reinterpretations, some less literal than others.
