Details: Wilfred sweater (retail), Heritage House skirt (thrifted), Escada blazer (thrifted)
Thoughts: One of my favourite outfits this year so far. Although 2 of the pieces are vintage, it doesn’t feel costumey or too dated. And I loved the way everything fit and looked. The skirt was something I almost walked away from at the thrift store — many vintage wool skirts don’t fit me very well — but I am so glad I reconsidered and doubled-back to grab it. The pattern is incredible, and the fit works well too.
Details: Lord & Taylor cardigan (thrifted), Tabitha jacket (thrifted), Paul Smith scarf (thrifted), brutalist brooch (thrifted), Carven skirt (Poshmark)
Thoughts: Another outfit I adored. The jewel tone colour palette is so good. I need to make a note to pair magenta and teal more often. I am also happy with how I managed to incorporate a scarf into this look, because I think the colours on the scarf really elevate the outfit. Plus, the scarf+brooch combo is really good too. Overall, I was very happy with the proportions — the shrunken blazer is a great topper option for a column skirt like this one.
Details: Gucci blouse (thrifted), Tabi vest (thrifted), H&M pants (thrifted), Amaryllis jacket (thrifted), Banana Republic belt (thrifted)
Thoughts: You will get tired of me saying this, but I absolutely loved this outfit as well. It was inspired by a Ralph Lauren 2017 runway collection look; I loved the pairing of the stripey vest and leopard print coat, and wanted to try for a similar combination. The outfit proportions are otherwise different, but my version works well for me.
Details: Line sweater (thrifted), Ines de la Fressange x Uniqlo pants (thrifted), Michelle Ross accessories (Poshmark), Manolo Blahnik shoes (ebay)
Thoughts: A very simple outfit, but I wanted a nice backdrop for the necklace and earrings. I have to say that this version of a monochrome outfit (different tones of burgundy) is very pleasing to my eye. My take on minimalism 🙂
Details: Moth sweater (thrifted), Mackage jacket (thrifted), Rachel Comey skirt (Poshmark), Lena Bernard necklace (Poshmark)
Thoughts: I love this skirt and I’ve been trying to remember to wear it more often. The purple and turquoise colour combination here worked really well.
Details: Ralph Lauren sweater (thrifted), J. Crew top (thrifted), Jil Sander jacket (thrifted), Everlane jeans (swap), J. Crew shoes (consignment)
Thoughts: Yes, you guessed it: I LOVED this outfit. It’s definitely on the preppy side of the Historian spectrum, but the blue-camel colour palette was excellent, and it just felt so nice to wear. And, dare I say it (I actually hate this word applied to style) effortless. Scratch that: let’s say unpremeditated instead. I love layered, coordinated looks but sometimes they can read as, hmm, what the word I’m looking for … not fussy … studied, maybe? Which, let me be clear, is not a bad thing at all. I hate the idea that putting visible intention/effort/what-have-you into outfits is bad or something to be avoided for fear of derision. However, sometimes, I want to look like I just threw something together (and somehow managed to be all colour coordinated, lol) and I feel like this outfit falls into that category.
Such great outfits all around – impressive as always!
Thank you, Bekah!
I am years long fan of your blog, but today i am first time commenting here. With this post you really exceeded yourself.
You are right to love all of those outfits, because they are all truly amazing. Can not choose, which one is the best
Thanks for the kind words. I feel that I’ve found a good groove with my outfits this spring. Not sure what the summer will bring, haha!
