The Pieces You're Loving Most

+ the easiest summer dessert, a discount code, and the best (and not so best) flip flops

One of the most interesting parts of writing this Substack is seeing which pieces all of you gravitate toward. I love seeing what resonates because there’s often a consensus or common theme and it’s fun to find those connections.

After last week’s Mirth post, there was definitely a pattern: soft structure, easy silhouettes, pieces that feel equally right for vacation, dinner at home, walking around your neighborhood, or packing for a long weekend, which is very Mirth, but also very summer.

So today’s post is a little roundup of the pieces everyone is loving, some styling inspo from Mirth’s founders, Katie and her sister Erin, along with a few other summer things currently on my mind.

Mirth Favorites

Here are your most purchased/clicked on in order. I can’t argue one bit with your faves because they are mine too! Use code: ABBYALLEYMIRTH25 for 25% off through 7/25.

1. Zuma Dress (most purchased was the Mint color, but the Navy Fig and the shorter Chocolate version that I have we’re far behind!)

2. Janeiro Dress (Brownie was number 1 and Mint Hopscotch was number 2)

3. Kyoto Shirt (the White Box Stitch was by far number 1 and with good reason - it’s the best!)

4. Mirth Pants (White was the favorite with Black being second)

5. Bonaire Dress

6. Wimberly Cardigan

7. Goa Top

Styling Inspo by Mirth Founders, Katie and Erin

I always love to see how the founders of brands style their clothes since these designs were ultimately their vision. Katie and Erin both have great personal style and I love seeing how they put together outfits.

I’m going to go clockwise from the top:

1. Puglia Dress in Cherry - Katie wears this style a lot and it looks so cute on her. I ordered it last summer in black and really loved the dress and almost kept it, but just ultimately didn’t love how the seam looked across my chest. I think if you’re smaller chested this is a really great style!

2. Santanyi Top - This photo is really tempting me to add it to my cart!

3. These are the Mirth Pants in white with the Barcelona Top in white, which is already on sale!

4. This is the Janeiro Dress in Carnival Stripe, which is currently on sale!

5. The Tivot Pants - so cute with sneakers - but also great with sandals in the summer!

6. This is the Nicobar Dress (currently on sale) and a Kyoto Shirt - I mostly wanted to show the Kyoto Shirt styled in this way, but the Nicobar Dress is really cute too!

7. This is the Wales Top - a really great way to style it for everyday.

8. This is another example of a Kyoto Shirt where you can wear it as a coverup…which I’ve definitely done.

9. This is another Kyoto styling with the matching pants, both of which are on sale.

10. Here Katie is taking a photo of a model in the Tivot Pants in pink (so cute) and Katie is wearing a Kyoto Shirt open with shorts and a cropped tank. Have I convinced you the Kyoto is a must yet?

11. This is Erin in the Janeiro in Brownie - love it with black shoes/ black accessories!

12. Here Katie is wearing the Puglia Top and the Petra Skirt. She’s really making a case for these pieces - both are endlessly versatile.

13. This is the Wimberly Cardigan worn open/over Erin’s shoulders. Just wanted to show it to you on someone other than me. :)

3 Summer Things

• My number one pregnancy craving has been watermelon and my number two has been ice cream. I saw this on TikTok and can’t wait to try it - just frozen watermelon and milk! It looks delicious and I be you can do it with other fruits too!

• Over on ABBY ALLEY, we’re having our annual Perfectly Imperfect Sale this week, which means you can shop our bags that have arrived with very minor flaws at 50% off! And since we’re down to our last few, I’m going to give you an extra 10% off…use code EXTRA10 at checkout. :)

• I mentioned in a recent post that I was influenced to order the Archies Flip Flops, and I have to say, I’m returning them. The increased arch support was actually painful for me. They get really good reviews, so maybe it’s just me, but I had to report back in case anyone else was thinking of getting them. Alternatively, I would highly recommend the Tkees flip flops - I wear them constantly (swollen feet and all!).

P.S. Saks is having a pretty good sale right now - worth checking out if you’re shopping for something in particular. :)
