The Ins + Outs

I’m feeling particularly nostalgic as of late (and on what used to be #ThrowbackThursday for all of us millennials, no less). Back in the day, I used to write these “What’s In, What’s Out” type of lists, inspired by the Harper’s Bazaar vertical—and now, the unsolicited ins-and-outs have resurfaced as a TikTok trend. Not one to be left out of the (micro and/or fleeting) social zeitgeist, here I am jumping back on the bandwagon, writing my list on a blog no one reads instead of posting it on the clock app.

In true Gen Y form.

In

• Cappuccinos
• Afternoon naps
• Kitten heels
• Blush—a lot of it
• Tiny tops, baggy bottoms
• Tangerine, the color
• Everything from Mirror Palais, Fait Par Foutch, and Orseund Iris
• This yummy skin invisible blurring balm
• Splurging on September issues from imported magazines, because international issues are superior to most U.S. titles
• Heady perfumes, even at home
• Ankle-grazing hemlines

Out

• Iced anything
• Sleeping in
• Stilettos
• Mascara—none of it
• Skinny jeans (bless Gen Z)
• Baby blues (for now; pastels are a warm-weather palette for me)
• Dupe culture
• Concealer
• Spending an embarrassing amount of money on the aforementioned September issues, even though international magazines are superior to their U.S. counterparts
• Creamy, figgy fragrances (another summer thing)
• Minis (this skort is the exception)
