I’m not going to lie. For the life of me, I cannot come up with something worthy of inclusion as my fifth item here. But I am really excited about the other four and it’s been a minute since I’ve shared Monday Musings, so we’re going with it. Help me out and comment your best fifth addition below.
one // a book I’m excited about
I loved A Gentleman in Moscow earlier this year and recently saw that Amor Towles released a new novel! The Lincoln Highway is set in 1950’s America, a far cry from Moscow in the early 1900s, but I’m sure it’ll be just as good.
two // the best dinner I made last week
I got the Honey & Co. at home cookbook for Chanukah last year and after months of staring at it, I finally attempted a recipe from it. I started with chicken braised in spicy matbucha and it was DELICIOUS. It was such a unique, smoky taste that I’ve never tasted out or tried at home before. I can’t wait to cook more from this book.
three // work pants that fit
I’m so grateful that trousers are ‘in’ right now because for the first time in my life I’ve been able to easily find dress pants for work that fit me well. I love that this pair from Aritzia has an elastic back for a comfortable fit, while the pleats keep them neat-looking. Fair warning, they do run long, so I got them hemmed for a better fit.
four // a sweater I finally went for
I’ve been seeing this J.Crew cardigan (pictured above and below) around for years but for some reason, I wasn’t willing to take the plunge. I finally got it this fall and I’ve been loving it over jeans and dresses during this transitional weather period. Size down for a proper fit.
