Details: Charlie Holiday dress, Tommy Hilfiger bag (both thrifted), Old Navy shoes (Poshmark), Rafael Canada jewelry
Thoughts: This is that linen-blend tiered summer dress I mentioned thrifting a while ago, which checks off all the boxes in terms of cut, length, volume, fabric, everything. It’s so comfortable and easy to wear and easy to accessorize. My goal now is to find this same style (or something almost identical, I’m open to a slightly different bodice/strap situation) in white. It has to be opaque, which is always a challenge with white dresses. I’ve found a few possibilities on Poshmark — nothing at the thrifts, sadly — but they’re either not quite right or not quite the right price. Anyway, back to this dress. I love it. This was such a simple outfit, but I felt like a million bucks in it. This is going to be my default, need-an-instant-outfit-and-have-no-other-ideas mode this summer — just switch up the accessories each time and go.
Details: Prairie Trail Goods jacket & tote, Pilcro top (thrifted), Gap jeans (thrifted), Marquis shoes (thrifted)
Thoughts: I love the 70s vibe that this jacket and jeans create together. It’s not 100% within my style wheelhouse, but I enjoy it as an extension of the romantic boho prairie aesthetic I’ve been doing lately. Long hair is such a good accessory for it, too. A small/trivial detail, maybe, but I am enjoying this haircut (or, rather, lack thereof) a lot including its impact on my fashion choices.
Details: J. Crew top, Ralph Lauren dress & skirt, Free People belt (all thrifted)
Thoughts: I haven’t been buying a lot of clothes lately — a combination of selectiveness on my part and diminished selection at the thrifts — but one of my fave finds has been this Lauren Ralph Lauren shirt dress. It’s silk and quite fancy considering we’re talking about the diffusion line here. I can’t get enough of this magenta colour, and I am a big fan of shirt dresses that can be unbuttoned all the way and worn as dusters. It lets me feel like I’m wearing a swish cape … fun!
Details: no label top (thrifted), Gap vest (Poshmark), Issey Miyake skirt (thrifted), Cotton Ginny belt (thrifted), turquoise necklace (Poshmark)
Thoughts: I wrote earlier about how much I love vests as “completer” pieces in the summer and here’s a good example of how that works.
Details: Wilfred top, Citizens of Humanity jeans, Fluevog shoes (all thrifted)
Thoughts: This is a very basic outfit — top, jeans, sandals — which is elevated by the interesting details of each element. Mostly the shoes. Those shoes are anything but basic and — this is key actually — shockingly comfortable.
