What I Wore: End of September

Plaid + Stripes

I forgot to include this Wilfred sweater in my Poshmark purchase round-up earlier, which is a real shame. It’s a great sweater. I have been hunting the dress version (both are called “Cipriana”) since it first came out at retail, but haven’t spotted it at the thrifts. Eventually I decided to get the sweater because (a) I figured it would be more versatile, and (b) I stumbled on a great deal on Posh. I find that Wilfred (and Aritzia in general) is very over-priced on Posh, but this was an exception – I got this for $20 plus shipping (so, about $33CAD) and it’s in pristine condition. It looks amazing paired with my plaid Ralph Lauren skirt, but I have so many other plans for it.

Mix Master

Taking a tip from my favourite designers, I totally went for it with this outfit. By “it”, I mean mixing patterns. It seems fitting that I used 2 pieces from the aforementioned designers – Dries Van Noten and Marni – to create this look. Each piece already incorporates different patterns, so this is patterns upon patterns upon patterns. When doing something a bit wild, it helps to commit, I guess. I used the common colours in all the prints to (sort of) tie everything together.

Funky

I was gonna call this “punky” but it really isn’t, so I settled for funky instead. I don’t know if it’s that either, but it’s different than some of the other outfits I’ve put together lately. I ended up wearing this outfit twice, because it was that comfortable and I loved it that much. I feel like it’s an outfit that my imaginary BFF David Rose (shoutout to my fellow Schitt’s Creek lovers) would approve.

Thrift Lucky

Here is a look at [spoiler alert] the Dries Van Noten skirt I thrifted last month – full post to come next week. It, along with all the other cool skirts I’ve added to my collection lately, has inspired me to do a theme for my October outfits. That theme? Is skirts. All skirts, all the time. I’m calling it Skirtober. See more next week – same time, same bat channel.
