Details: Toni T dickie, Twik sweater, Jones NY jacket, Babaton skirt, BR belt (all thrifted)
Thoughts: My current colour green obsession, turned up to the max. The odds of finding such perfectly matched shades, in two different textures, are so small and made this feel like outfit kismet. I simply had to pair this sweater and this jacket. Kept the rest of the outfit simple, but I feel like the small pop of that white collar was key; had I simply stuck to black and green, I don’t think the colours would have popped as much, or looked as sharp.
Details: Toni T dickie, Love Moschino dres, H&M cardigan, BR belt (all thrifted), Doc Martens shoes (Poshmark)
Thoughts: I finally got the Mary Jane shoes of my dreams and I’m about to make them my entire personality. You have been warned. I love, love, LOVE these Docs so much! I have a bazillion outfit ideas for them, most of them involving some degree of nostalgia. I never had Docs in the 90s (they would have been waaaay out of my budget) so this is my chance to be the cool teenager I never got to be the first time around. Am I too old to go there again? I don’t care and, fwiw, I don’t think we are ever too old for the things that bring us joy.
Details: Wilfred bodysuit, Ports jacket, Ricki’s pants, Fossil belt (all thrifted)
Thoughts: Had to go to the office again recently and decided to switch things up a bit; instead of a minimalist outfit built around black, I wore one built around brown. These Ricki’s pants are really hitting the spot for me, and I’m glad I picked them up. The Ports jacket is an Old Faithful that never lets me down. Not as sure about this Wilfred bodysuit; the style is cool, but the snaps are weird and not very easy to use, which is a surefire way for bodysuit to end up annoying me. Might end up chalking up this thrift find as a bust 🙁
Details: Ralph Lauren shirt, Lewit sweater, vintage blazer, Wilfred skirt (all secondhand)
Thoughts: Pink and blue is not a combination I wear very often but the print of this skirt inspired me to give it a try. And that ended up having a bit of a domino effect …
Details: Ralph Lauren shirt, Smash & Tess bodysuit, Uniqlo sweater, CK jeans, Brown’s shoes (all thrifted)
Thoughts: … because here I am, wearing the same pink shirt again, this time with my fave blue sweater. I saw someone on IG wear a sweater over a layered shirt/tee combo like this, and I liked the laidback vibe a lot. Definitely something I’ll try again with other combinations.
Details: Ricki’s turtleneck, Gap shirt, Ralph Lauren jacket, Tabi skirt, Esprit belt, Laredo shoes, Coach bag (all secondhand)
Thoughts: I loved wearing this jacket last week so much, I had to wear it again. And used its colour palette to pull together the rest of the pieces for this outfit. I like layering turtlenecks under heavier weight shirts like this — very Ralph Lauren-coded paired with jeans and a big buckle belt. I am so excited for spring, when I can switch up my layering game with lighter clothing.
Details: Ralph Lauren turtleneck, A&F cardigan, Levi’s jacket, Ralph Lauren skirt, Coach bag (all secondhand)
Thoughts: Another layered moment, this time using the turtleneck + cardigan + jacket formula. Went matchy matchy with the colour choices, but when it comes to this skirt, I never seem to be able to resist that impulse.
