Dear Reader,

A little over a year ago I started this column as a space to share What I Put On Today (the official name of this substack even though it’s technically under my name). Thank you for reading this newsletter.

I originally started this column as a space to share links and more information on things I like to wear or use in my life (instagram links and stories expire in 24 hours which is not helpful for anyone) and that is the area I’m going to focus back on in 2024. I’ll be spending the next year in airports, and on planes and trains, with quite a few Ubers and taxis in between. I’ll be parenting my 5 year old daughter and growing a company.

I don’t know the right or wrong way to do a substack newsletter anymore and I can tell you that after many hours of trying to figure out how this column fits into my daily life I was more confused than ever. So I’m going to keep this simple by going back to where this substack started.

Welcome to What I Put On Today 2024 (an anecdotal substack about how fashion fits into our lives, and the case of this column, my own).

As usual, I’m going to remind you that you probably don’t need anything in this email. But if you’re looking for something similar, perhaps this column may help you find it, or send you in a new direction altogether.

Thoughts or questions? See you in the comments section. Recommendations? Please share it with all of us in our chat thread!

As always, you can reach me directly at Meg@ShopDorsey.com.

All my very best (and talk soon),

Meg Strachan

Where: 6 am, January 3rd, Los Angeles International Airport

Blazer | This one is by A Piece Apart (mine is size 6) and it’s in the color midnight. I tend to wear a lot of blazers when I fly because I often go from the airport directly to meetings. I usually take them off when I get on the plane and put on a big sweater and a wrap instead. Wrap | I’m wearing this one by White and Warren in the color Spruce Heather. I didn’t used to invest in many travel pieces but I spend a lot of time in the air now and I wear this wrap as a scarf, too. Trousers | Quite old (I cut the tag out so I’m not sure who they are by but they weren’t designer and were not expensive) these are similar

Watch | I’m wearing this one (it’s men’s) by Timex. Bag | Metier Cala 42 she’s an investment but a great travel companion | Sweater @JenniKayne

Watch: I bought this watch at a small men’s store in Montecito but I’ve just found it for you here. For $42, I’ve really worn it more than any other watch I own. It’s the definition of utility. I’m wearing it with my Dorsey lab-grown diamond bezel bracelet.
