Josephine staples to go from desk to dock 

Working from a home office has a way of softening the edges of personal style—long hours at the computer can slip into a rotation of uninspired staples: slouchy knits, well-worn sweatpants, comfort over intention. At least, that’s where Karen and I found ourselves after a year of building MyMaine from the ground up.

As women who have always found joy in the ritual of getting dressed, we felt called to mark this milestone with a sartorial reset—packing away the overly casual and reintroducing pieces that reflect both who we are and where we’re going.

With an eye toward refinement and ease, we turned to Janet Kooyenga, owner of Josephine at the Shops at Falmouth Square, to curate looks that move effortlessly from daytime meetings to evening gatherings with friends—each ensemble capturing that luminous, golden-hour energy that defines a Maine summer.
