I want you to think of my Rosé Attaché as your arsenal of been there’s and done that’s.
This is my gift to you, a collaborative hub of my own tried and true’s.

I came across the quote, "go laugh in the places you've cried, change the narrative."
It struck me, but it didn't hit until I was turning over my winter to summer wardrobe. Clothes were in transition, but the feelings associated with each piece weren't so seasonal.
There are many parallels between buying a car and finding your "person," not to be melodramatic, but hear me out.
I had my car criteria. Something with character, not the standard lease du jour, leather interior, sunroof if preferable, Sedan small yet sturdy- luxuryish but not German and a demure yet not typical color.
To quote my grandmother, “nothing is ever all good or all bad,” there is always a bit of both intermingled within. The story is never black and white, grey isn’t a cop-out color. Grey is silver and timeless.

Congratulations sis! It’s finally, "your time”.
I’m excited for what this year ahead will behold. The seminary experience is a privilege. It's an opportunity to build relationships with friends, mechanchos the families you will be fortunate to meet (vice Aversa) and most fundamentally a chance to nurture the relationship within yourself.
If I had an older sister, I'd want her to give me the "Aleph, Beis, Gimmels" of the seminary experience.
