Hi, I’M MEG.

I live in West Hartford, CT with my husband Chris and our baby girl Nell. We love classic American style and bickering about whose turn it is to unload the dishwasher. Glad you stopped by!

#NOSHOP19: Recap, Part II, Final Wardrobe Edit

#NOSHOP19: Recap, Part II, Final Wardrobe Edit

Ah!! It’s done!! Above is the best possible recreation of my final, curated wardrobe. These are my tried and true, my favorites, my die-hards…ALL items can be styled, restyled and styled again to create thousands of outfits.

At LEGO, we do a popular play exercise called “six bricks” where we use six LEGO Duplo bricks to guide play. During this exercise we talk about how many possible combinations of six 2 x 4 LEGO bricks there are. You might be shocked to know there are 915,103,675 ways to combine six identical LEGO bricks (!!) My colleague reminded me of this exercise last week when we were talking about NoShop as an example of the sheer potential a small wardrobe has. It really brought the idea home for me! My wardrobe of 105 items may sound small, but all of these pieces have great potential to be styled differently for years to come.

Most of these items are the exact ones I own (especially jeans and tops) but as some are no longer available, I’ve linked to similar options. In summary, the brands that made it all the way through #noshop19 are:

Jeans

  • FRAME Le High Straight Jean

  • Jcrew Skinny Boyfriend

Tops

  • Ulla Johnson

  • Sea New York

  • Shop Doen

  • Rebecca Taylor

Shoes

  • Golden Goose

  • Birkenstock

  • Chloe

  • Chanel (quilted flats, not linkable, and I bought mine second hand)

Jackets

  • Barbour

  • Dudley Stephens Bomber

Sweaters

  • Babaa (couldn’t link, but linked to similar from Free People + Everlane)

  • LLBean

  • Joie

Dresses

  • Ulla Johnson

  • Sea New York

  • Emerson Fry

I will so a separate post on beauty because I’ve really nailed down my favorite skincare this year. My makeup routine is literally unchanged but I will share that as well. All images above are clickable; if you have any questions about sizing or fit of any specific item just comment below and I will respond right back.
