What I Wore: July 2021, part 4

Cupcake Princess

I know, I know … oops, I did it again. Bought another tulle skirt. You can’t blame me, I’m sure – look how fun this one is! I had actually been looking for it since last year, when one of my IG friends posted a photo of it on her feed. It finally showed up recently on Poshmark, and I snapped it up, double quick. No regrets. Someone on IG asked me “where do you wear this?” and (a) am I the only person who hates this question?, and (b) I wore it in my house, while working a very mundane-but-suddenly-a-little-more-fun Monday, thank you very much. I may wear it to the grocery store next time. Who knows?

Crop It To Me

Still loving these high-waisted Everlane pants. They’re great for pairing with a crop top because it still allows me to show a bit of skin, but at a spot that feels comfortable to me. I wanted to push against the romantic vibe of the top, by pairing it with “edgier” pieces like this selfmade necklace and those amazing Fluevog shoes. They look like someone took a dainty ballerina shoe and, like, goth-ed it up. I love them!

Bright Lights, Medium Sized City

I didn’t even think of this until my BFF mentioned it, but this combo really does look like a city at night, reflected on water. How cool is that? I mostly paired these two (random?) pieces based on colour, but they turned out even better than I could have hoped.

Madras Love

I had been eyeing this Wilfred top on Poshmark for a while — naturally, it reminds me a lot of my fave dress, and I cannot get enough of this rainbow plaid/madras/check type of pattern — but kept holding back because it was pricey. But then! A local reseller posted it in her stories (for less, plus no shipping required) and I snapped it up. Win win! I love getting my way AND supporting a small local business. For my first outfit try, I decided to pair it with a summer skirt of similar weight (fabric wise) but a contrast pattern. It was such a fun outfit to wear, and perfect for a hot summer day.
