style at every age Archives • Every Day Dress by Rebecca Collins

100 days

*Lizzie, Peanut, Lexi, Booie, Carline, and me at Lexi’s wedding in the south of France 2024.*

Second daughter Booie sent me a simple text this morning: 100 days.

I sent her a simple reply: 3,000 pushups.

30 pushups a day is a thing I do for wedding season. It’s a thing I do in general.

Pushups are never easy. They are only easier when I’m in the habit of doing them.

So, here we are. Headed towards Booie and Connor’s wedding this July.

Time to hit the deck. Every day pushups. Every day everything actually. 🙂

*Lexi and me. Her dress is by Saint Bridal Couture. My dress and bag is by Lafayette 148.*

I’ve been entering a new decade for about a year now; my husband always tells me I’m closer to the next age than I was to the last. I think a new decade prompts you to consider and reflect on where you are, what you’re doing, and where you’re headed.

Here’s the fun part about entering a new decade: the style of it all. I began writing about clothes here many years ago, and lovingly, much of the space became about food. Clothes and food, or food and clothes – the order is interchangeable.

*white tee, white skirt, white loafer = easy*

As for the clothes I wear, I’m leaning more towards a pared-down look, and have no problem rewearing pieces that I love on repeat. I’ve been leaning into a white skirt for some reason. It feels fresh, easy, uncomplicated, almost like denim.

*first pie of the season topped with vanilla bean ice cream. I baked this to take to Booie’s for a rooftop cookout.*

Food will always be a passion, and in an hour or so, we are headed to our favorite farmer’s market. The farmer’s market season is my absolute ultimate.

*simple grilled cheese sandwich and tomato soup. I topped the soup with blanched asparagus from the farmer’s market.*

I love that each day we get to express and nourish ourselves through the clothes we wear and the food we prepare. It’s ever evolving. Here I come soon, sixty!
