Pre-Raphaelite Nap Dress

I’ve heard the term Nap Dress bandied about the internet over the last year, and I have a mental image of what that refers to (which may or may not be accurate). Basically, it’s a long potato sack. Am I correct? Regardless, let’s talk about this dress. I’m obsessed with it. It was an impulse buy on Poshmark — is there any other kind of Poshmark purchase? — but je ne regrette rien, friends. It is amazing. It has a vibe that makes me feel like a Pre-Raphaelite model when I’m wearing it, but it’s also an aforementioned Nap Dress, aka the most comfortable thing on earth. I “styled” it (lol!) with pieces inspired by the runway photo posted on Poshmark — a chunky cardigan and big jewelry. In this case, two Lena Bernard necklaces layered together. This was one of my fave outfits of the year.

Winter, Baby

I hate winter. Look, you are going to hear that from me for approximately the next 5 months, better get used to it. I hate winter and I miss fall when wearing cute outfits outside was still possible. This is the best I can do, for now. It will get worse in another month or so.

Winter Baby, Part Deux

OK, I lied. Here’s another cute outfit. This is only possible because the temps are still hovering nearish zero (they’re below, but close enough) and I have become a layering master. You can’t even tell how many layers I’m wearing here, but trust me … it’s a lot.

Cute Coats For All

As you can see, this was a pre-snow outfit. I’m still obsessed with this coat. The skirt is also great. It’s a MarkAntoine x Simons collab. The former is a Montreal designer. I really dig the geode-like print and, of course, the colours scheme. Very Adina 2021.

Peacock Power

Here, I am revisiting a January 2019 (yes, I checked) outfit except that it’s been tweaked. Or “elevated”, if you will. The blazer has been upgraded (from Zara to Frame, which I recently discovered is a $$$ type of brand). As much as I don’t wear blazers that often anymore, I am willing to make an exception for this one. One, because it’s pretty comfortable. Two, because I am in love with the dark green velvet. The skirt has also been upgraded, or rather, upsized. I thrifted it in a size 4 years ago, and because it’s H&M, it was always snug. It would be even more snug now because I’m extra fluffy these days. Luckily, I snagged a size 10 on Poshmark earlier this year, and I’m loving the extra room in the hips and the extra length.

Summer, Revisited

Just because it’s winter, doesn’t mean that I have to put away my favourite dress. Just layer a cashmere turtleneck on top, add a wide belt and “tuck” the sweater into it. Voila, outfit ready.

Hot (Pink) All Over

The dress above reminded me of this ridiculously over-the-top cardigan, and I had to wear it again. And, of course, double down on the colourfulness of it all by adding hot pink pants and a pink tee. I loved it and since no one else got to see this (except my family), that’s all that matters.

Getting Into The Christmas Spirit

This is what I wore to the Xmas craft fair (except with boots). Yes, it’s the same velvet blazer as above, plus a plaid maxi dress — it seemed like an appropriately festive combination. You can’t see it very well, but I also wore a very bright and colourful necklace which reminded me of Christmas lights.

2 Comments on What I Wore: November 2021, part 4

  1. Thèse outfits are great! Thank you for the inspiration. I tend to get really boring in the winter because I figure people can only see my coat so it doesn’t matter what I wear underneath. But of course it does matter to me even if no one sees it. I love the blazer with the sequined skirt!
