phew! it’s tuesday, but doesn’t everything feel a bit thrown-off after halloween last night? i’m easing off my candy hangover and back into reality, including election-cycle fatigue. so i thought i’d offer a little pick-me-up before i drop off my vote by mail ballot with a new outfit– and a discount code! i’m sure you’ve noticed that one of my favorite designers lately is the austin-based esby apparel. i don’t remember how i first came across them, but what i do know is that their linen jumpsuits pulled me in and have kept me coming back for the past several seasons. and now that fall is in full swing, i’m so happy to be able to wrap myself in their cotton gauze duffy jumper and dark denim kirby kimono jacket. they are both so perfectly versatile, yet still interesting enough to make a statement on their own, which is something i really value when i’m looking for new clothes to incorporate my wardrobe. these photos were shot on a couple of different days because i’m not afraid to repeat an outfit when i like it this much!
and of course, besides the impeccable design, i really love esby because all of their clothes are proudly made in the usa using high quality materials like linen, cotton, and wool. and each season, they update and improve the fit of the clothes based on experience and feedback, meaning that you can always expect something well made and ready to wear. so in the spirit of ethical business and civic duty in this fair country, we’ve teamed up to offer you a discount code!
use code “CALI15” now through election day (nov. 8) for 15% off your purchase at esby apparel!

ahh, vintage calivintage. epic in subtlety! I love this post.
aw shucks, thank you! :)
Amazing outfit and good pictures!
It perfectly matches your shapes.
Cheers
thank you!
First and foremost I love your blog and Instagram. Since the election seeing all the strong women stand together has been amazing and as an employee of planned parenthood thank you for your donations! Second of all I’d love an opinion on kamm pants as a first time ordered. Do they for tts and also I’m loving the navy and off white/street but does that work for winter?
Thanks!
ah, this is wonderful to hear, and thank you! i would say that the kamm pants run on the small side. i usually wear a 4 or 6 in pants and i have to wear a medium in kamm pants, whereas i would say i’m normally a small in most other brands. the measurements she provides on her site are accurate and the pants will give about a 1/2″ with wear, so not a ton, but a little bit. i really, really love them because the fabric is so thick and sturdy that they feel like they will last forever. and i honestly think all of the colors work for any time of year! i have the “bill cunningham blue” and the tobacco color and now i want them in almost every shade, haha. another thing, if you’re really nervous about sizing, you can email her directly and either jesse herself or her assistant will help you out! they’re very hands on. :)
I really love the jacket from esby. I’ve been thinking of purchasing it and it’s great to see it on a person who owns and loves it. Can you please tell me what size you purchased and what size you normally wear? I’m having a hard time figuring out what size to order. I know it’s a bit oversized, but I don’t want to have it too big on me. Thanks.
it runs large! i’m normally a size 6 and am wearing the small.
