Traci you are juggling a lot!! I totally hear you on clothes as a coat of armor - those small acts of getting dressed mean a lot when everything else feels chaotic. Wishing you smoother times ahead and lots of opportunities to fill your cup!!

Traci Landy's avatar

Thank you, Pip!! & they will fill my new ceramic cup that was speedily delivered to my door after the catastrophe! 🤣

Appreciate you! I always hold on to the notion that clear(er) skies are always on their way! 🌥️

I absolutely love all these looks 😍 hope these last two weeks have been much smoother. Sad face on the mug as that would have been the tip of the iceberg on an already overwhelming morning for me too. Any tips on getting the sweaters draped over your shoulder so perfectly in place?

Traci Landy's avatar

Hahahaha zero tips. Be prepared to take on adjusting it as a PT job! You’re the best Ana!! Luckily the week massively improved!! Xo.

Graphics on point!! I hope the days have become brighter for you 💗 losing a beloved mug is heartbreaking I'm so sorry! And thank you always for being that cheerleader when we aren't always able to. I treasure you!

Have to know, what is your favorite ceramic travel mug? I can’t find one I love!

Traci Landy's avatar

Ok! It’s a travel mug. I put my triple shot of espresso in it… And for some reason, I hate the thought of drinking espresso any other way than as if it was out of a mug-like container lol

Here’s my fav: https://amzn.to/3K9U9YN

I hope you find your groove again soon and that no more spilled coffees are in your future. I totally feel ya on trying to juggle so many things. Lately, I am having a hard time reading things on time even though I really wish I could. I'm learning to be okay with that and that it doesn't mean it will always be like that.

ps - i loved those levis on you !! I've been curious about them and knowing we're the same height is reassuring for the inseam.

Traci Landy's avatar

I love that. I think there’s value in that… Simply learning to be OK with it!

Levi’s are sooo good when they fit right! I grabbed another wash in the same silhouette, and it’s wild how the fit can change—same size, totally different vibe.

OFELIA's avatar

I own a few of the 501 90s and I feel the same !! The fabric changes drastically from one pair to another.

Traci Landy's avatar

So wild!!!

Brittany Healy's avatar

I vow to emulate your positive spirit!!! I don't know what is in the water this week but I feel like everyone I know (including myself) has been SO overwhelmed and overstimulated, so... SOLIDARITY. You're doing amazing!

Traci Landy's avatar

YES!!! my coworkers and I looked at each other the other day & said it looks like we got hit by a bus lol! Hang in there!!

You’re so amazing- the juggling act is not easy but I know you’re doing it with style and grace! Outfits that we feel good in, somehow can keep us grounded and I thankful for that. I love all your looks. Thanks for sharing!!!!!

Traci Landy's avatar

😭 Thank you, Ginny!!! I’m trying you’re the best- so glad the looks are Ginny-Approved!!!! ❤️🫶🏻💕

CC's avatar

Gave this a like - mostly for the German shepherd pic at the end. Too cute ❤️

Traci Landy's avatar

Omg YAY lol. He is the best look in this post, let’s be real.

Next time I’ll post his sister he never wanted, the Belgian Malinois, Penny!

Meg's avatar

Props to you, teachers are just the best! Your outfits look so fresh, and I’m 1000% with you on the cashmere crewnecks as wardrobe heros. Both your new Jcrew pants and the black barrel jeans look fab!! Thanks for sharing all this with us, amid all your busyness.

Traci Landy's avatar

I knew I liked you (a LOT), Meg! Thank you so much!! The barrel silhouette is definitely new for me & I’m trying not to hyper fixate and go crazy with it (you know the deal)…but I got a few pieces that I’m really excited to style!

Meg's avatar

🥹 too kind! Here’s to not hyper fixating, too much! 😉

Ariane Anusbigian's avatar

TRACI I LOVE YOU. You are doing the most and yet I can totally relate to all of this. I too want to read, like, and comment on all my favorites’ posts. But some days or weeks it’s not possible and that’s ok!

Or.. gasp.. maybe some weeks I can’t post anything. That’s ok too!!

We get it and we celebrate each other when we can and when we can’t!

Traci Landy's avatar

FACTS! Thank you for this 🫶🏻❤️🫶🏻❤️

I love work Traci's outfits!!! <3

Traci Landy's avatar

She’s like a new woman! Lol 🤣

Dana's avatar

I'm echoing so many sentiments below, but WOW! I cannot believe everything you do and still manage to put together such great content here!! I feel like we're just having a convo!

PS: Your dog. Obsessed. I LOVE HIM!!!!

Traci Landy's avatar

Dana 😭 I know I’ve mentioned this to you before — but I have followed you for a long time before I came to this platform! Your style has always been such a source of inspiration for me. This is a very full circle moment for me. Xo

As for the pup… He is a clingy, rescue, handsome little devil! But the goodest of all good boys!

Dana's avatar

I’m crying. One of few reasons why I love the internet so much xx

My rescue boy is also the actual annoying devil, he’s LUCKY HE’S SO HANDSOME lol

Traci Landy's avatar

😂 that’s the thing, I feel like I know him! I love when he pops up on your IG!!

Tina Boetto's avatar

Traci, I'm in awe of how much you get accomplished in one day and then you still write on Substack - truly amazing! I look forward to every post, you always make me laugh. If you're ever in the vicinity of San Francisco, I will be your Type A bringing you things. You're now my sundress icon and love your secondhand finds. Lastly, I need to find out more about your doggie, because what a sweet sleeping face (with teefs out no less).

Traci Landy's avatar

TINA 🥹 if we ever start a Tina Boetto fan club - I demand the right to be president! (But also support fair elections lol)— TY!!

Mac is the sweetest rescue German Shep! He’s so grumpy and loves his personal space - meanwhile, his sister is a rescue Belgian Malinois who has no boundaries and doesn’t stop cuddling him! 🤣

Tina Boetto's avatar

Oh, I love Mac and his sister already. There's always one dog who has to invade the other dog's personal space 😂 I'd love to see more of them in my feed if you want to share (especially if there are doggie Halloween costumes involved).

Traci Landy's avatar

Done deal. They’re basically my identity 🤣🫶🏻

Maria Hyde's avatar

Sorry to hear you've had a bumpy start to school, but I appreciate you sharing because I've definitely been feeling similarly overwhelmed with the transition from summer to our regular routine again. I love how you used getting dressed as a way to boost your mood and bring back some confidence - you look amazing! You'll always be our #1 SS hypewoman, even when you need a break! x

Traci Landy's avatar

You are the best, Maria! I’m glad to know I’m not alone… But wishing you smoother sales ahead as well! TY so much! Xo

Kaye Bassey's avatar

Teachers are superheros. Seriously. And the fact that you balance so much beyond that is so admirable. Wishing you the best school year, Traci!! And at least you are stressed but well dressed!

Traci Landy's avatar

Thank you, Kaye!!! We most definitely do our best! Thank you for the kind words 🫶🏻🫶🏻
