Searching for "zara skirt"

What I Wore: September 2022, part four

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!).

What I Wore: February 2022, part 2

Details: Revel tulle overlay, Hemant & Nandita jacket, upcycled necklace, Nine West shoes (all thrifted), BR jumpsuit (secondhand)

Thoughts: I wanted to play around with this tulle piece, which I haven’t worn as much as I might have a few years ago. I don’t reach for black very often anymore, but it does make for a good “backdrop” for statement jewelry like this necklace I re-fashioned from 3 pieces of thrifted jewelry (more on that another time). The jacket was a lucky thrift find – I was looking at it on Poshmark just before I found it (and, needless to say, for a fraction of the price). I can’t wait to wear this outfit outside soon. For convenience, I will probably tweak it a bit; either wear the tulle overlay with a black dress, or the jumpsuit without the overlay.

Details: Charlie & Robin cardigan, velvet vest, Ines de la Fressange x Uniqlo pants, Lena Bernard necklace (all thrifted), Zara shoes (consignment)

Thoughts: This was a very random outfit I threw together on a whim but I ended up loving it. I like wearing cropped vests as a top with high waisted pants. A little bit sexy, but as long as the neckline isn’t too low, not unacceptable for work (they won’t see any accidental glimpses of my midriff on Zoom).

Details: Rag & Bone vest, Zara skirt (both thrifted), Equipment blouse (ebay)

Thoughts: Just call me Orange Crush 😉

Details: United Colours of Benetton sweater, Manolo Blahnik shoes, plastic bangles (all thrifted), Anthro pants (gift); Warren Steven Scott earrings (gift)

Thoughts: Just a simple, cozy outfit. I extended the colour palette from the sweater to the pants, which is like insta-outfit making.

Details: Twinset dress (Poshmark); Shirin Guild topper, Stuart Weitzman shoes (both thrifted), selfmade necklace

Thoughts: I love this dress so much because it’s basically a glorified nightgown as far as shape (and comfort) goes, but it has gorgeous little details that make me feel like a dainty princess. So, minimal effort, maximum style. That’s my 2022 vibe, TBH.

Details: My Little Pony tee, Vero Moda pants, Carolina Herrera belt, Stuart Weitzman shoes (all thrifted)

Thoughts: The tee and pants combo was a no-brainer, but I wasn’t sure at first which belt to use. Then I noticed the red accents in the tee, and decided to try a red belt. And you know what? Red is an unexpected choice, but it really pops. I shouldn’t be surprised though; the colour of the pants is a close cousin to aqua, which always looks smashing next to red.

What I Wore: January 2022, part 2

Why, yes, this is still supposed to be a fashion blog. So, umm, let’s fashion.

I’ve decided to take a slightly different approach to these posts going forward, and I may tweak them again as I go (possibly break them up into smaller posts?). With Instagram becoming increasingly unfriendly to content creators, I want to start using this space again more extensively. Rather than focus on choosing my favourite looks of the week, I’ll post all or most of them along with sourcing information. I’ll cut back on the commentary — y’all don’t need to hear my thoughts on everything I wear — unless there is something relevant or useful like fit information and so on. Let me know what you think about this format.
