THE icon!! I remember being mildly uncomfortable and so intrigued when I was in middle school and first saw a photo of Lynn, like are we allowed to just look like this in the world?? Because I did not at all feel like I was then. she is the rare real deal 🫡 went to the sale and it was absolutely the highlight of my year despite Lynn’s incredible gorgeous vintage being way out of my tax bracket hahah - best part was just hanging out around her and listening to her hype everyone up as they tried things on and trying to guess whose stuff they had on. Also her being bummed about only having made $100 at one point early on and selling a girl on a GORGEOUS giant Fforme puffer (also out of her tax bracket lol)! & Chloe Sevigny helping someone try on an apron dress and directing girls to mirrors, truly sweet. Never gonna feel that cool again probably 😂😂

I've chased Lynn's writing all across the internet and really enjoyed her on The Adventurine (she's also responsible for my discovering that site haha)

also long live Lynn's style, may she deliver us from the substack Axis of Oatmeal (I never ever want to be mistaken for the kind of woman who would wear a Frankie Shop blazer)

This was a total delight to read, thank you! I’ve also long worshipped at the altar of Baby Lynnie and would like nothing more than for her to compile a coffee table book of her outfits over the years. (My favourite segment on the Instagram Mickey and Lynn show is “What Lynn Bought and Returned” :). I’m 58, constitutionally incapable of a cute casual look, fully committed to overdressing just for my own happiness. To quote Lynn in a saying I hashtag often: “to dress up is to cheer up.”
