lol! Was just telling someone I want something that’s crushed velvet and then I immediately started remembering all my crushed velvet clothes from 1997… GAH! What a fun walk down memory lane :) and thank you for the shout out!!

Girl, crushed velvet is going to be everywhere this Fall. Add to your cart immediately.

Still thinking about your powerful newsletter last week, deserved another shout-out.

Fun fact: I used to be very friendly with Janie Bryant- the brilliant costume designer behind Mad Men. She is SO talented and kind, too!

What a trip down memory lane friend!

Evonne Sturm's avatar

The COOLEST fun fact. God, I have so many questions. How did you get to know her?

A story for our next dinner!

Can’t wait!!

This was SUCH an enjoyable read and walk down memory lane!

Evonne Sturm's avatar

Thanks, Stephanie. If you had to choose a decade to dress in today, which one would it be?

Stephanie Johnson's avatar

90s!!

A good post about decades and how much but also how little things have changed. I do feel clothes were made better, and I do miss that. So many great outfits ideas

Evonne Sturm's avatar

There's no denying that clothes were made better decades ok. As they say, they don't make 'em like they used to. I always appreciate you joining in on the conversation, Natalia. Thank you.

Rachel Green and The Olson Twins......a memory lane I will never forget. I wanted to be all of them growing up!

Evonne Sturm's avatar

Girl, me too! Especially Ashley Olsen. My fav forever and ever.

Such a fun read, as always Evonne. I love a little nostalgia in my closet.

Evonne Sturm's avatar

Thanks, Fanny! The best pieces in my closet are the nostalgic ones.

I loved this adventure! Thank you!!!

Evonne Sturm's avatar

Thank you, Ginny! I had a blast going down memory lane too.

Traci Landy's avatar

I am literally obsessed with this, Evonne!!! Quite possibly one of my favorite pieces of yours yet!

Evonne Sturm's avatar

Wow, thank you, Traci! The past will forever inspire my present and so glad this one resonated with you 💕

Oooh Evonne! This question “But who gets to define a decade? The average closet, or the clothes we all wanted to own?” I’m going to chew on that the rest of the day (week? Month?). I also feel like it persists today; “who gets to define a decade? The average closet or the closet of our favorite influencers?”

Evonne Sturm's avatar

Wow, your kind words. Thank you! If I can make Kelly noodle on something for a month, well my little thoughts hit home 💕. BLUSHING!

I can absolutely name a few influencer wardrobes who have helped bring pieces into my closet over the last few years. BUT mixed with elements from my past make for a pretty dynamic wardrobe that I’m proud to have cultivated.

i love this adventure through decades. I didn’t think i’d be nostalgic for 2006 but your collage makes me so! even the big sweater and skinny jeans from 2016! thanks so much for the mention. and love all the different versions of you through time 🥰🥰

Evonne Sturm's avatar

Loved your article last week that it deserved another shout out! I feel like in a few more years we are all going to be longing for a skinny jean, might as well start the revolution now as early adopters!

Libby McCurrach's avatar

I loved this journey through decades! Don’t hate me but I’m realllllly digging this contrast shoulder strap I keep getting attacked with via eby ads and that reformation silky slip dress - just me?

Evonne Sturm's avatar

As I was putting that collage together I was feeling similar vibes to you and thinking I might need to add it to my cart, but have no idea where I would wear it. It so funny that you keep getting served eby ads because I almost added a contrast bra to 2016. We‘re clearly on the same wavelength, Libby 💕
