2. All of your suggestions of where to shop!

Anthropologie Pilcro Shorts - recommended by a TON of you and lauded as life-changers
Nordstrom Rack - literally dozens and dozens of recommendations
J. Jill - lots of mentions and even more disclaimers that it's not all "old lady" clothes :)
Loft - possibly the highest number of recommendations, especially for basics and during sales
JCrew - many of you swear by their shorts and t-shirt dresses
Madewell - responsibly sourced and just trendy enough
Lularoe - a lot of you sing the praises of their leggings and casual dresses
a handful mentioned these drawstring linen pants from Nordstrom as their summer go-to
Boden - beautiful, classy investment pieces
the most intriguing suggestion - raw silk tees that cost a fortune but look UHMAZING and last forever
Lou & Grey - with the tagline "Clothing for a Comfortably Confident Life" and reasonable prices, this brand could be a new favorite
a vocal minority were all in for Title Nine shorts
Garnet Hill - pricey but some great natural fiber pieces, especially if you can grab them on sale
A.N.A. from JCPenney - I've actually gotten a few pieces from this brand, and it's a great one... although I recommend trying stuff on in the store or getting in-store returns since they tend to look differently on your own human body than in the photos.

2. In case you want more of the record player stuff...

I talked about a record player... we were given a Crosley three-speed last year similar to this one but in teal. And our go-to record right now? The soundtrack from La La Land. Bonkers good. And if you like moody background music, this one by S. Carey is a personal favorite that's on repeat A LOT.
