How fitting… April was all about style. I’ve kind of admitted that I don’t really have great style beyond what I find to be comfortable and whatever. Literally, ballet flats were definitely invented for girls like me. Less than graceful me prefers to not test gravity. I have a ridiculous collection of blue button downs and half of my closet is more suited for the beach than busy Manhattan.
If you follow me on Twitter or keep up with Levo League, than you must know who Kathryn is! Kathryn works at Levo with me and just so happens to sit across from me at work. She’s hilarious and has the absolute best style. Honestly, every morning that she walks into the office, we all take note of what she’s wearing. And by “take note,” I mean it. It’s not uncommon for someone to wear the exact same thing as Kathryn the next day. Yep. Guilty.
While watching an Office Hours, Kathryn was inspired to create her own “sidle hustle.” Kathryn has recently launched her own website (and blog!). I volunteered my closet as a guinea pig for her new project.
It was amazing.
Kathryn and I spent all afternoon going through my closet (oh my was that a task) and then caught up on the stoop of my apartment to debrief.
Some of the outfits that Kathryn put together for me. (A lot of my clothes are older so I tried to find similar options in case you want to replicate!)
J. Crew Striped Dress (similar) // Bass Weejuns (similar)
One of the pieces that we kept going to over and over again was this linen blazer from Theory that I’ve had for years. It’s funny because I rarely wear it, but Kathryn totally made it work with so many different looks.
Oh my gosh you totally have style! But I do have to admit she helped create some totally adorable looks, go Kathryn! xxoo Jordyn http://www.thefairyprincessdiaries.com
Love all the looks. P.S. you rock a denim shirt better than anyone I have ever seen. Have thought that before. I can't quite seem to pull them off the same way. But you look amazing !
I love the looks with the fitted blazers. I definitely prefer them to the looser cardigans because no matter your shape or size you look thinner and always polished!
Tonight we achieved the impossible! @wishbonekitchen’s swamp soup received a “no notes” stamp of approval from Mike 🙌🏻 it’s filling, healing, and so fresh! Highly recommend!!! 💚🌿🪀♻️🦖
If your goals for 2025 include reading more and having better habits, @audible audiobooks are about to be your best friend! I love listening to audiobooks, especially when they help me become a better person, wife, friend, mom, etc. January is the perfect time to dive into one and cross two of your goals off at once. I’m listening to Mel Robbins’ Let Them Theory and it’s blowing my mind– “let them” is such a simple phrase and yet the impact is POWERFUL.

Can we bring this kind of outfit of the day video over to this app 👀 tell me if you like it or hate it- in light of everything, trying to experiment! If you want links to what I’m wearing, leave a comment with “OUTFIT” and I’ll send it over!
Sorry for the jump scare… but go ahead and add “great at multitasking” to my resume 😆 is it habit stacking or just survival mode? Every morning, I’ve been doing a red light session with my @omniluxled face mask, while listening to an audiobook, and I spend the 10 minutes tidying up. I make the beds, put laundry away, straighten up the boys’ toys… I always feel on top of the world and like I can do anything 😆
I’ve been hesitant to add new skincare products to my daily routine because I don’t want to disrupt my healthy skin… I tested @oakessentials skincare line though and it’s now a staple in my weekly routine. I’m using these three 2-3x a week (the night before hair wash days!) and my skin is SO moisturized and hydrated!!
(Why has no one been using this song for this trend? Literally all that I hear whenever I see another “ins and outs” trend 😆)
My 2025 Ins & Outs:
IN More freedom, firmer boundaries Silver Red as a neutral Spontaneous lunch dates Photography Redefining perfection Silk scarves Going to the movies Trying new hobbies Luxurious showers
OUT Sticking with a book I’m not enjoying Letting my car be a mess Guilt around sweet treats Unnecessary people pleasing The comparison game Staying up too late Over complicating things Holding in emotions
Oh my gosh you totally have style! But I do have to admit she helped create some totally adorable looks, go Kathryn!
