Layered Perfection

I mean, maybe it’s presumptuous of me to attach the label “perfection” to anything I’ve done, but I really like this layering combination, so … here we are. It’s aces. Just look at all the different textures, and the harmonious seasonal colour palette. I’ve been holding on to this LAMB coat for months and months, and I’m glad I brought it out with a bang, so to speak. It’s a very cool coat. But then again, the skirt is cool too (it’s by a local designer, Malorie Urbanovitch), as are the earrings (by Indigenous artist Warren Steven Scott). And the boots too! I’m still obsessed with these slouchy boots; they make any outfit instantly feel more high fashion. Don’t ask me why. I don’t make the rules.

Another Round of Applause

… for my favourite skirt, please. I will never get tired of swanning around my house in this skirt. I can’t imagine wearing it anywhere else, to be honest; I would always be worried about getting it dirty. But at home? It’s wonderful. I feel ever so much more composed on my work calls, hah! This is the skirt of someone who solves problems without breaking a sweat … or so I like to imagine. Here, I added a super soft grey Gap sweater with stars on it because, well, stars go with everything, right? And comfort is key.

Date Night Style

I mean, let’s be honest: these days, “date night” means dropping off the kids at my parents, driving to our fave neighbourhood sushi joint to pick up takeout, and crashing on the couch with a Netflix comedy special. Them’s the times. BUT … for that 20 minutes driving back and forth, I can feel like a legit cool person in my legit amazing boots, and a short dress (with a long jacket) that I got from an IG buddy in a long-distance clothing swap recently. [Shoutout to Lucy @stufflucywore, who you should all follow because she’s a delight and a true style inspiration.] Ain’t nothing taking that away from me. Plus, it all kinda works out better this way: these are definitely “standing/sitting boots” not “walking boots” – to be admired for a short period, then taken off with a small sigh of relief. Heels? We don’t know her.

12 Comments on What I Wore: Beginning of November, 2020

  1. GAH!!! That skirt and star sweater is my most favorite thing you have ever worn. Ever! You look amazing! Yes. Wear it every damn day.

  2. I love the unexpected colour pairings you always pick! If you ever wanted to make and write about some colour palettes that corresponds to some of your favorite pairings, I’d love to read about it.

    • I love when people do those posts – I think Vivienne’s Files did. I have never put that much thought into it, haha! Maybe I should try 😜

  3. Your first look is very editorial. I really like how everything came together. I’ve never come across any LAMB clothing. Isn’t that Gwen Stefani’s line?

    Anyhow, I’m just amazed that you put so much effort into your wardrobe for around the house or date night take out.

    • It helps to keep me sane. I know it’s different for everyone but I cannot live (happily) in loungewear for extended periods of time. I actually change clothes after I’m done work every day, which also creates a bit of a ritual that’s helpful in adding structure (and boundaries) to my work day.

  4. Love the top fit! It is perfection! And looks super warm. Love your style. I have a long way to go to match you but seeing your bold choices makes me feel free to be me!!

  5. I also love the first outfit, I think you can absolutely call it perfection! The third outfit also very cool.

  7. These are all great but my favorite bit is the how the WSS earrings make that first outfit. I’ve been eyeing his work since you first got them. I may have to break down and get my own pair one of these days.

    • I love WSS earrings, and it’s nice to support an Indigenous artist. I love how bold his pieces are but super wearable (and not heavy at all).
