felt like a reset in the best way—part refresh, part replenish, and a gentle nudge toward spring. I’ve learned something over the years: when I keep thinking about a piece… it’s usually a sign. And more often than not, if I don’t act on it, it sells out—and then I’m annoyed (mostly at myself). So this month, I leaned in. I tried to only include items that are still in stock—because nothing is more frustrating than falling in love with something that’s already gone.
The Pants I Didn’t Need (But Absolutely Needed)
I am very into easy pull-on pants right now. Like… very. I already love Donni’s silk version, but I wanted something a little more casual, so I tried their eco terry pair with the racing stripe. The white and cream combo feels fresh, clean, and just a little elevated. Quick note: they’re described as “cropped,” but on me (I’m 5’6”, wearing a small), they are not cropped at all—just a perfect length. (And yes, I bought the matching tee… and yes, it’s sold out… so we’re not talking about it.)

The Shirt That Makes Everything Look Better
I rediscovered Sold Out NYC this month and now I want everything. They do classics really well—but always with a little twist. This shirt is the perfect example. Slightly oversized, longer in the back, and incredibly easy to style. It’s one of those pieces that instantly makes you look pulled together (even when you’re not). I got a small but could have gone extra small—so keep that in mind. Also… it comes in eight colors. Just saying.

Beauty Restocks (and a Few New Obsessions)
I did a proper beauty replenish this month and finally got my hands on the Victoria Beckham foundation drops again—they were sold out everywhere for a while, and now I remember why. They give great coverage but still feel nourishing on the skin (which is rare). I had been using #6, but after a quick in-store check at Nordstrom, #7 turned out to be a better match. Side note: online tools are helpful, but nothing beats seeing it in person if you can.

Home… Because I Can’t Help Myself
Not that I needed anything (I didn’t)… but somehow I still managed to bring in a few new things. I restocked my favorite towels from Matouk (always worth it), and then—Instagram did what Instagram does best—I got served an ad for pillows. I bought one. Loved it. And then… replaced a few more around the house. No regrets.
March was the perfect mix of practical and indulgent—and honestly, I’m ready for more of that energy. As they say… bring on spring. If you’ve been around here for a minute, you know the drill—when it’s good, it goes. Consider this your gentle nudge. Shop the rest of what I bought in March below.
