Details: Toni T dickie, Everlane sweater, Ralph Lauren skirt, Ash sneakers (all thrifted)
Thoughts: My favourite fall outfit so far — a few people called it “Wednesday Addams grows up” and I love that. I also got a random compliment on it from a woman in a store parking lot so you know this outfit has presence. I rarely repeat exact outfits head to toe, but this one will be a repeat for sure. Simple, comfortable, totally “me”.
Details: Toni T dickie, Pilcro sweater, Gap jacket, Cartonnier pants (all thrifted), Mia shoes (retail)
Thoughts: Another favourite fall outfit. I love the purple-lavender-whiskey colour palette. This is going to be one of my go-to outfit formulas: button up shirt+sweater+pants (or skirt). Finding this white collar dickie was a true godsend; it allows me to pull off that layered look without any extra bulk. Once the temps nose-dive, I’ll wear a proper white shirt as a layer but, for now, this is just the ticket.
Details: Braemer vest, Ralph Lauren shirt, Zara skirt (all thrifted)
Thoughts: You didn’t think I would forget about vests, did you? No way. It’s time for my fall vests to come out. I’m still a huge fan of them as a “completer piece” for WFH outfits where a jacket feels a bit like overkill most days (but I still want that 3-piece outfit).
Details: Aerie top (retail), Judith & Charles jacket, vintage pants (both thrifted), Stella & Dot necklace (Poshmark)
Thoughts: I am also not forgetting my crop tops! I’ve been thrifting some high waist pants — like this fun patterned pair — that will be perfect for taking this outfit formula into fall and even winter (WFH, remember!). Elastic (high) waist, pull-on pants are the epitome of easy dressing for me; they can be dressed up and down equally easily.
Details: Tabi vest, Tradlands jacket, Babaton skirt, Ferragamo shoes (all thrifted), Echo scarf (consigment)
Thoughts: Finally got to try out a new-to-me brand — Tradlands — thanks to this thrifted jacket. It’s a wide-wale corduroy, which is one of my current obsessions — I love this texture for fall. It’s also a colour that works really well with my fall wardrobe. I thought this scarf was a nice complement to the vest, as they share colours but also offer a bit of contrast.
Details: Wilfred sweater, Ralph Lauren shirt, Babaton pants, Mackage jacket (all thrifted), Mia shoes (retail)
Thoughts: I was going for a monochrome look (these newly thrifted pants are a great match for the sweater I thrifted last spring) and decided to add another colour at the last moment. I think the dark plum jacket complements the blue nicely. As I said, I am obsessed with corduroy at the moment, so I was pleased to find these cord pants in a cropped style that works well with my favourite new shoes (plus, they were only $4!).
I’m getting school girl vibes from the 1st look, if the skirt was shorter; obviously that’s not the look you’re going for though. Or you can make it k pop by making the skirt a lot shorter and wearing knee highs with your white graffiti docs.
Kpop is such a fun aesthetic! Not sure if it’s something I can pull off, but I will be experimenting with shorter skirts this fall.
