Details: Suttles & Seawinds dress (Poshmark), BR belt, Barbara Barbieri shoes (both thrifted)
Thoughts: I couldn’t resist picking up this dress on Poshmark (after a lot of deliberation and a seller offer I couldn’t refuse) — floral prints, especially roses, on a blue background are irresistible to me. The fit of the dress is also quite amazing. Summer is basically over here, but I couldn’t resist one last hurrah.
Details: J. Crew shirt, Jessie vest, Ines de la Fressange x Uniqlo pants, Brave belt (all thrifted), J. Crew shoes (retail)
Thoughts: I initially tried this outfit with a shirt that has a large Peter Pan collar and it ended up feeling a bit too Lord Fauntleroy for me. A simple shirt proved to be a better fit. I love the look of vests paired with classic trousers and a button up shirt. I incorporated a more boho vibe here with the patchwork vest and tapestry earrings.
Details: Max Studio dress (thrifted), thrifted and upcycled jacket by Prairie Trail Goods
Thoughts: I am slowly saying goodbye to my summer wardrobe and switching over to fall/winter. This jacket will stay, though, I think. I just love it too much. Even if I only wear it around the house until next summer, I know it will continue to bring me joy. And a challenge too … figuring out how to style it with my fall wardrobe.
Details: Only & Sons shirt, AG jeans, Birkenstock shoes (all thrifted)
Thoughts: It might be bad timing, finding a pair of like-new Birkenstocks at the end of summer, but I’m not complaining. This was a style I didn’t already have, and I think it looks cool. I like in Birks in the summer, and have been wanting to add to my collection. The metallic silver is a nice neutral.
Details: En Saison top (thrifted), Susan Bristol skirt (Poshmark), turquoise necklace (Poshmark)
Thoughts: Saying goodbye to more summer pieces, like this patchwork skirt. I love it’s quirkiness, but I did find myself challenged to style it; luckily, this chambray top is a great match for it. The colour works and the romantic sleeves are a nice complement to the vibe of the skirt.
Details: Tommy Hilfiger shirt, Pilcro jeans, Alexander Wang shoes (all thrifted), Aerie bralette (retail), Anna Paola bag (consignment)
Thoughts: I learned this shirt wrap-tucking trick from Trinny Woodall, and I have to agree with her that it creates a more interesting visual effect than a traditional tuck. You do need an oversized shirt (and high waisted pants) to make it work. Luckily, this vintage-ish Hilfiger shirt is perfect. I did a bit of a looser tuck so a peek of green (from the bralette, which is really like a crop top) could show through.
