On Tuesday, I published my spring outfit report, which features an awful lot of wide-legged pants, pops of color and stripes, so if that’s your jam, get excited!
Right after this piece dropped (so yes, at 5:45am on a Tuesday morning!), my mother texted to ask why my hand is on my head in so many of these photos. If you’ve wondered the same thing (but held yourself back from asking, always an option???): It’s because I only have, like, two poses that work in the mirror I do outfit selfies in, and also sometimes I think my hair looks flat. What can I say. Photos are hard!!
Anyway, all of my spring outfits are linked right over here. (Yes, mostly affiliate links.)
Meanwhile on the pod, Corinne took us down the peptides rabbit hole!
Yes, I resisted this episode topic for a full year. This new diet trend is the cursed love child of protein bros and RFK stans, and it’s supposed to make you thin, tan, and maybe horny. Can’t imagine there are any downsides!!

Three more great spring outfits, from Corinne Fay.
Former podcast guest/Toastie Emily Ladau wrote about why Dying For Sex gets disability and sex so right, plus her new Snack Stack.
Why Corinne did not go to the Met Gala
The Toastie Take
Says Karen Cox on Did I Finally Make a Capsule Wardrobe: “The outfit posts are my favorite! It’s normal to want to look aesthetically pleasing, especially to ourselves. How we face the world matters. We have the right to confidence and knowing we look good is a large part of that. Hell, one of the symptoms of severe depression is a sudden lack of care about one’s own appearance. Clothes MATTER.”
Says OtterKel in our Garden Toast Chat: “I made my kid a *Goth Garden*! My 10 year old non-binary witch went goth this year, and is obsessed with Wednesday on Netflix. Our yard has this little cinder block patch that the previous owners left behind, so I put a wonky little wrought iron fence around it, added the black trellis, and planted it out with coleus, dark salvia, heuchera, and burgundy nasturtiums. Will probably be growing clematis on the back trellis, as the dark red sweet peas aren't getting nearly enough sun to be happy.”
