Who are you?
Fashion isn’t my day job. I’m a media tech executive. I work a lot. I travel a lot. And I spend entirely too much of my limited spare time on fashion. Why? Partly because I believe in its power; it’s one of the most easily accessible mediums of self-expression. Partly because it’s so much fun!
My other passion is giving advice. Solicited, unsolicited, welcome, unwelcome, without a second thought I am ready to tell anyone and everyone what I think they should do.
Pockets and Lapels was borne from the union of my passion and my most annoying habit.
Pockets and Lapels is an offshoot of the original P&L, a retail analysis blog I started in 2013. Pockets and Lapels is a less cerebral, more light-hearted, fun space.
My vision is for Pockets and Lapels to be a source of inspiration - a style tip delivered to you in a weekly newsletter, a website of in-depth styling tips and links to pieces, a community of like-minded experts, newbies, and everything in between - to help you determine and/or evolve your individual style.
If you’re interested in my retail stock analysis, retail strategy recommendations, operational best practices, and more, then you can find the original P&L at https://medium.com/@pocketsandlapels.
Who reads Pockets and Lapels?
You’re probably a millennial or Gen X’er who may or may not have a job and may or may not have kids. You may be too busy to spend time on fashion. You may not know where to start or where to go. You may just want someone to tell you WTF to wear to your cousin’s wedding so you look put together and as hot as possible.
What you get
The newsletter consists of one quick fashion tip a week. You’re busy. You just want a quick hit of a new idea to try. A little something to inspire you and elicit a “Love the outfit” comment from the fashionable neighbor or stylish stranger on the subway platform.
The website will eventually have in-depth thoughts and recommendations from me and may include links to pieces. Note that I don’t do affiliate marketing at this time.
You’ll be able to ask questions on the website and engage with me and others in our community.
Why subscribe?
Subscribe to get full access to the newsletter, website, and community. Eventually I hope to offer ideas on the website beyond what you’ll see in the weekly tip newsletter plus access to our community - including me!- to commiserate with on your fashion dilemmas. Never miss out on new ideas and inspiration.
