Details: Suttles & Seawinds dress (Poshmark), Second Female cardigan, BR belt, Marquis shoes (all thrifted)
Thoughts: How well matched are this dress and this cardigan? It’s always pleasing to find a perfect colour match. This dress is almost perfect too; the fit of the bodice is impeccable. My only (small) quibble is that I wish it was longer. Of course I do! The longer, the better. So I added a vintage petticoat that has a lovely lace detail at the bottom; it adds a few extra inches and some visual interest to boot.
Details: American Eagle vest, Ralph Lauren blazer, Topshop pants, Ferragamo shoes (all thrifted)
Thoughts: A very dandy sort of outfit, don’t you think? I’m loving vests worn as tops at the moment — a little bit risque but not really. It’s not different than a tank top, when you think about it. In this case, the vest is cut a bit low so to minimize the boobage, I added a vintage scarf (which belonged to my grandma!) as a sort of shawl/neck tie alternative. I love the look of it.
Details: H&M top (Poshmark), Ralph Lauren skirt, BR belt (both thrifted), J. Crew shoes (retail)
Thoughts: Inspired by my recent seasonal analysis discoveries, I put together this outfit to showcase a high-contrast colour combo of dark teal and red. I love it!! Any shades in the teal/turquoise/aqua family look smashing paired with red.
Details: Marni top (Poshmark), Ralph Lauren skirt (thrifted), Rafael Alfandary necklace (eBay)
Thoughts: I can’t believe that I’ve never paired this top and skirt before! The colours are nicely complementary, and the busy-ness of the blouse print actually makes it easy to accommodate another pattern. I wanted to create a “crop top” effect so I tied the blouse at the waist, which completely changed its silhouette.
Details: C&C dress, Roughrider vest, Esprit belt (all thrifted), Old Navy shoes, Dooney bag (both Poshmark)
Thoughts: This is *not* my dream white dress, but it’s the closest I’ve been able to thrift so far. Its main downside is that it’s not as voluminous and twirly as I would like. But it is fairly long, and opaque, and has nice eyelet detailing. So I’m pretty happy with it. This outfit is one of my fave summer formulas — dress + vest + sandals. So easy, breezy, and fun.
Details: Lee x H&M top, Suttles & Seawinds vest, Esprit belt, H&M pants (all thrifted), Old Navy shoes (Poshmark), Prairie Trail Goods tote
Thoughts: Speaking of favourite outfit formulas, here is another one: crop top + vest + high waisted pats. These pants, specifically, are my go-to piece. I love the paperbag waist detail, and they are loose and comfortable to wear. The colour is a nice neutral that allows for endless remix possibilities. And the wide belt loops means that I can sub a good number of different belts, depending on the vibe and colour palette I’m using. Yay for versatile clothing!
