This is so brilliant; “what this outfit sounds like” is perfect! Truly the number of times I’ve put on a banger of an outfit and felt like the main character in a movie with background music playing!! That’s what this felt like.

Traci Landy's avatar

Ahhhhh… you totally get it!! That is exactly the vibe. Your own personal soundtrack moment to set the mood. Now I’m so curious to hear everyone else’s main character songs when they’re wearing a fit that makes them feel good!

Thank you SO much for taking the time to read my work. Your support means so, so much to me!!

Such good looks and songs! Love your collages, and how many boxer shorts are too many boxer shorts??(asking for a friend…ok that friend is me) (also cracking up about your husband: he retreated…lol)

As Cady Heron from Mean Girls discovered (and relating it to boxer shorts) — the limit does not exist! I overuse this reference way too much, but I love it.

God bless my husband’s soul. The four-shirt man just couldn’t comprehend such a dressy look for a children’s BBQ...... but to me, it all made perfect sense in my mind. I always opt for overdressed in all occasions!

Thank you for taking the time to read and restack my work!! I truly appreciate your kindness and support!!!

Denim is always my favorite, child of the 60's. They all look great.

Love that!! THANK YOU :)

Ahh reading this made me so happy! Haha I ALSO pick my own songs vs. Trending music for most Instagram reels. I am all about feeling it vs just what's trending. Also, I now understand why you love this corner over Instagram. Substack is made for people like YOU! You have beautiful writing style, gorgeous and authentic taste for fashion... something Instagram cannot appreciate.

We have similar taste in music and my favorite track of yours is #9. love the yellow and white mix. However, i LOVE all of your outfits, so definitely a hard choice. Penny Rose is stylish like her momma! -xoxo

Traci Landy's avatar

Awww thank you, Ana!!! I can def tell you have excellent music taste!!! Thank you for the compliments, it means so much to me! The yellow is a daring color for me, but it was so fun!! Penny Rose was born to be a star lol 🤣

This was SUCH a fun read! So creative. I absolutely love those swim suits too, I might have to give Andie a go!

Traci Landy's avatar

I don’t think you’ll regret it! I personally love the ribbed texture suits the best! (Not pictured, but have it in black). Thanks so much for the kind words!!!! 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻

A collab between sounds and style is genius and I’m so here for it. My favorites are tracks 3 & 5 but I loved them all. Can’t wait for the next one!

Traci Landy's avatar

Thank you, Elin!! Your comment made my day!! I am excited to do another one soon!! There were so many other good tunes that I desperately wanted to add.

Thank you for taking the time to read and share my work! I appreciate you!!

So fun!! Love the mix of music and outfits.

Traci Landy's avatar

Thank you, Jessica!!! I hope you found some solid tunes and styles that resonate with you 😊😊

Danielle's avatar

This is so fun! Also… that j crew dress is chef’s kiss. I was eyeing the blue one but it doesn’t come in petite. May I ask how tall you are?

Traci Landy's avatar

Thank you, love!! It did NOT disappoint!! Of course you can… I’m 5’6” 🫶🏻🫶🏻 I’m wearing a size small.

Danielle's avatar

Aha! I’m 5’3 and too lazy to get things hemmed. I’m so glad I got to see it on you! It’ll be great in the fall too with a big sweater over or a thin turtleneck under.

Traci Landy's avatar

Happy to help!! And justice for the petite ladies!!!

Oh & I love your fall transition thinking!!!

taylor morgan's avatar

Traci Landy's avatar

Thanks, Taylor!! She’s coming!! I just have to clean up my Spotify a little lol. It’s as chaotic as my writing. 🤣

taylor morgan's avatar

tysm!

Sarah Hancock's avatar

This is beyond creative and I am 100% here for it! Love the collages, your song choices, and all the work that went into this post. More please!

Traci Landy's avatar

THANK YOU, Sarah!!! That means so much to me. High praise coming from YOU! You know I'm a huge fan of all your graphics and content. Thank you for taking the time to check out my work <3 You are incredible!

Dawn McShane's avatar

Penny is best dressed pooch! I love all these looks… comfort meets style!!

Traci Landy's avatar

Thank you, Dawn!!! You know that your style is what gets me out to youth lacrosse games every Spring 🤣.

Angela Jones's avatar

Are you staking out my Spotify, Traci?? I too love Hozier! I too have been jamming to Role Model (my kid is sick of me randomly yelling out “Sally!”)! I too enjoy Olivia Rodrigo’s brand of pop! Maybe I (you?) just have really basic musical taste 😂 but who cares, I (and you?) love it

Traci Landy's avatar

LOL... You are going to laugh - but I channeled you a little as I did this. I said Angela is allergic to trends. I could delve into my more pop v v v basic music choices - or I can go into my "hearted" playlist and really pull the meat and potatoes of music I love!!!

My very literal children will often say, "WHO IS SALLY?"

And I don't know about you, but when I love a song -- it's on repeat until I feel nauseous of it. Very toxic trait.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read/support my work!!! I appreciate you.

Angela Jones's avatar

Now YOU’RE going to laugh—I literally have a post in drafts about sources of style inspiration and one of them is… songs. Somehow we’ve ended up on the same wavelength, and I feel like we just met!!

I definitely do get the urge to repeat ad nauseam, but nowhere near as bad as my husband 😂 but seriously, “Aw shit here we go again, I’m fallin’ head first” is such an earworm—!

Loved this so much 🤘

Traci Landy's avatar

I can’t wait for you to hit publish!!!!! Eeek!

Sally is the song of summer. Yup, we said what we said. 🤘🏻🤘🏻

Sogole Kane's avatar

The amount of work that went into this- wow! You’re SO creative Traci. I love the outfits and the song inspo!! Brilliant xx

Traci Landy's avatar

Thank you!!! I had so much fun with it! I think I’m learning I love a good theme, but the introvert in me greatly fears attending any themed party in real life.

I loved your post from yesterday, and when I saw you included the playlist at the end, I giggled because I was feeling a similar musical energy and fashion vibe this week.

Thank you for your continued support. It truly means so much to me!

Sogole Kane's avatar

Music + fashion = summer at its best!!

Katelyn Cnossen's avatar

I love this so much! Outfits + songs = a very fun vibe!

Traci Landy's avatar

Thank you, Katelyn!!! As a self-proclaimed music (and coffee) snob, the pressure was ON. I like to monopolize the aux cord everywhere I go. I hope you enjoyed this post! I truly appreciate your support. <3

Katelyn Cnossen's avatar

Oh yes also a coffee snob over here. I enjoyed this post so much!

Traci Landy's avatar

Appreciate you :) xo
