Alexa Chung is cool and I am not. But it’s ok, I’m good with it. I’m goofy and overly precise, I laugh and smile a lot and I’m ever and always trying to figure out the etymology of words like “bae” and “on fleek” which, according to my 12-year-old daughter, aka my walking Urban Dictionary, is no longer de rigueur — another term I’m guessing anyone under 30 isn’t using. Ok, under 35, and that’s as high as I’ll go people! If I may continue passing on the wisdom of my preteen… Things are now “fire” or “goals”. But in spite of my lack of cool, I still occasionally stumble upon a nut, like the blind squirrel of my father’s old adage. And here you see, I’ve come up on top with a super cute tee from Alexa Chung’s collab with AG. Did I initially think it said “scared monster” and did I then feel bad for said monster? Yes, but I recovered my wits and got busy pairing the long sleeve shirt with my Topshop skirt and my Urban Outfitters shoe. Success! I might even fool you into thinking I’m cool.

With love,

Amanda
