There’s a piece sitting in almost every woman’s wardrobe right now that’s been quietly holding summer wardrobes together for decades and it’s not the maxi dress, it’s not the linen set, and it’s definitely not whatever “the new must-have” is according to this month’s magazine. It’s denim shorts. Plain, simple, unglamorous denim shorts. And I …
Running late, four outfits already on the floor, and you’re standing there holding a tank top, thinking surely I can do something with this? Yeah. I’ve been there more times than I’d like to admit.

I started leaning into old …
I swear every time game day rolls around, someone messages me something like, “Freya, what do I wear with a jersey that’s neon green and navy???” And honestly, I get it.
