What to wear with a tie-dye sweater

I subscribe to a lot—I mean, a lotttt—of email lists. Much of it is for competitive research (I'm an editorial director at a major retailer by day), but really, a lot of it is just because I like to shop. After all, my name is Cheryl Shops! Opening hundreds of emails a day does have its benefits, and one of my favorites is the bounty of happy birthday promo codes I receive every March. If you time it right, you can really score a good deal, which is what happened with this sweater I bought from Madewell. I was kind of on the fence about it—was I too late to the tie-dye trend?—but my indecision had a price, and that was an extra 25% off sale. So while I got a very good deal on a pretty cute sweater, I got something I wasn't even expecting, which was pure joy. I can't quite explain it, but this sweater makes me feel hopeful and alive and also peaceful. If spring 2021 were a sweater, this would be it. Let's unpack that, shall we? 



Everyone started wearing tie-dye sweatsuits last spring when we were all stuck inside, and a year later, just as the world is starting to reopen again, you'd think 2020 was the last thing we'd want to be reminded of. Wrong, apparently! Tie-dye still here, but it's become more mellow—now it's a way of life, rather than a reaction. There's something a little more pulled-together about a sweater, which is perhaps why I gravitated toward this one. The shape is very boxy and cropped; it's perfect for wearing with high-waisted, straight-leg jeans, which, sorry skinny jeans lovers, are here to stay. There is much roominess and forgiveness to the shape (I'm wearing my usual size small), but its waist-emphasizing length is also a reminder that, whew, it's time to reign in that quarantine wine-and-pasta habit. I wore this sweater to get my first vaccine shot, on a particularly happy Friday, and even on a random cold Monday when I needed cheering up because why is it still in the 50s in April?! I love the light colors (which I normally wouldn't think to put together), the big faux-tortoise buttons, and what this sweater represents: optimism.
 


This poor trench coat has been on the chopping block several times in the last few years (you last saw it with Spanx faux-leather leggings). Its lining is starting to shred, the cuff belts are long gone, and overall, it's not as crisp as it used to be. I remember buying this trench at Barneys in Seattle back in 2008, which makes this trench...yikes, 13 years old. Maybe it's finally time for a new one? That said, it's been a good one that was well worth the investment. A trench coat is one of those French woman clichés, but for good reason—it really is one of those timeless pieces that makes everything you're wearing look damn good. The good news is that A.P.C. still makes this same style, and when mine finally bites the dust, I'm definitely going to repurchase. 



A friend of mine was recently complaining about an unflattering pair of straight-leg jeans, and for all the skinny jeans ride-or-dies out there, no one is making you switch. I, for one, could never quite make skinny jeans work, especially when they had the double-whammy of being skinny and low rise; I've almost always worn a slim straight leg because that's what looks best on me. These ReDone jeans (which you last saw about a year ago) are more of a Gen-Z-friendly stovepipe. Sean hates them, and they're probably not the most flattering pair I own (ok, that I know for sure), but they are so freaking comfortable and they make me look like I have a butt. I like having them in my rotation because they look better with more cropped tops such as this one. And did I mention how comfy they are? The funny thing is, I have a feeling straight-leg jeans are going to feel totally normal to us in 5 years and we'll all wonder why we made such a big fuss about the skinny vs. straight debate. Or maybe we'll all just be back in sweatpants by then. (Kidding!)



A happy outfit deserves happy accessories, so I grabbed my Mango straw bag for the first time this season (you last saw it with a shoulder-pad tee). There's something about a straw bag that just feels so summery, and I'm particularly fond of this one because it looks like Loewe (but was a fraction of the price). I'm glad to see Mango brought back a very similar version this year—that means I'll likely be featuring it a bunch. And speaking of repeats, I'm still wearing the daylights out of my furry mules (which, surprisingly, Sean does like, not that I'm dressing for him). You last saw them in Santa Barbara with a midi skirt, and I think I like them even more with jeans. These mules seem so wrong on so many levels, but something about them is just so right. And that brings me joy.

I am writing this to express my sincere gratitude and to share my experience with Wizard James Recovery. After falling victim to a scam/technical error that resulted in the loss of 1.9 BTC, I felt completely hopeless. I had been told by many that once cryptocurrency leaves your wallet, it is gone forever.
However, after reaching out to Wizard James Recovery, the situation changed entirely. From the first consultation, their team was:
* Professional and Transparent: They clearly explained the recovery process and the likelihood of success without giving me false hope.
* Highly Skilled: Their technical expertise in blockchain tracking and recovery is truly impressive.
* Communicative: I was kept informed at every stage of the process, which helped ease the immense stress I was under.
Thanks to their dedication and specialized tools, I was able to successfully recover my funds. If you find yourself in a similar situation where you think your digital assets are lost, I cannot recommend Wizard James Recovery highly enough. They are the real deal in an industry where it’s hard to know who to trust. This is their personal Whatsapp/Cell number: + 4 4 7 4 1 8 3 6 7 2 0 4

My name is Debra Nguyen, I'm from Toronto and here is my short story of how i fell to an investment scam that cost me my entire savings . After 2 successful trades, unfortunately, I went all in with my entire savings of $182,000 and that was how i got scammed costing me a staggering $182,000. they blocked me from all angle .I attempted to acquire government assistance, but it was obvious that I was not succeeding. Before I made the decision to take matters into my own hands and look for assistance, it seemed like I was left to handle this on my own. I discovered the WEB GENIE RECOVERY at that point.
My $182,000 was eventually recovered because to the team's perseverance and skill, even though the procedure was difficult and there were many moments of uncertainty. I urge you to get help from WEB GENIE RECOVERY if you're reading this and have fallen victim to a similar scam.

When I realized my Bitcoin had been moved out of my wallet without my authorization, I was convinced it was gone. I had read that the blockchain was an "irreversible ledger," which left me feeling powerless against the scammers. However, finding Wizard James Recovery (Wizardjamesrecovery@usa.com) changed everything. What sets this team apart is their deep understanding of blockchain forensics. Instead of just making vague promises, they actually mapped out the movement of my assets through several intermediary "hop" wallets. They were able to identify exactly where the trail led, providing a level of transparency I didn't think was possible in the crypto space.
The team was professional, stayed in constant contact, and eventually facilitated the return of my funds to a new, secure wallet. Seeing that balance restored was a massive weight off my shoulders.
If you're looking for a service that actually understands the technical reality of Bitcoin transactions and has the tools to fight back against digital theft, Wizard James Recovery is the team you want in your corner. They turned a financial disaster into a success story.
