Evil Eye
The “evil eye” motif is one of my favourites, in my own art and generally. At the same time, I have been obsessed lately with graphic tees and sweatshirts; so when I first spotted this Kenzo version, I coveted it immediately. Getting it — via Poshmark — was a whole SAGA, but it was worth the hassle. It fits really well into the “noir” side of my aesthetic, as demonstrated here paired with my Goth Princess skirt. I can’t wait to wear it again.
Black Watch
On the other side of the style spectrum, I am still drawing inspiration from the costuming of the most recent Little Women adaptation. This may be my favourite Jo March-inspired outfit to date. I love the contrasting patterns, and how the unstructured Shirin Guild jacket (a huge thrift score) gives a modern edge to this silhouette. I also recently learned that this particular plaid/tartan is called “Black Watch”, and is reserved for people who don’t have a family tartan. I think that’s pretty cool, especially since they picked a lovely pattern for us.
Hearts In
Skirtober is going well, thanks for asking. I’ve had so much fun styling all my skirts, and I try not to play favourites but … well, this one is up there on the (hypothetical, ahem) list. I’m rediscovering my love of aqua, and its many colour pairings. Here, it looks fantastic with bright poppy red. I love the touch of whimsy added by the heart on the sweater. So much fun!
Autumnal Vibes
I don’t wear a lot of traditional knee-length pencil skirts these days, but I had to make an exception for this beautiful Etro skirt I thrifted last month. I just couldn’t pass up that print. The kick pleat detail on the back is fun too. I love pairing brown (and chartreuse) with blue – it’s an electric combination.
Those first two looks are my total favorites! I love the witchy vibe of the evil eye outfit and the Jo March vibe is as you would say, chef’s kiss!
Thank you!
What brand is the teal skirt? Super cute!
It’s Acne. I found it on eBay.
