Two weeks in and almost at the halfway point, I’ve gone for a classic combo I always love wearing. My Joseph knit sweater, paired with faded black skinny jeans a two-tone pumps. I wore a similar iteration around a month ago, and clearly am not stranger to repeating outfits (or combinations) that I love. Wearing Joseph knit sweater (similar alternative); Uniqlo tee (worn underneath); Zara jeans (old but love these as an alternative); Vaneli two-tone pumps; Polene number one nano bag* I wore this for my first trip into the city in over five months for an appointment and to…
Yesterday’s outfit was inspired largely by Jess Molina. I’d spotted a very similar look on her Instagram last week, and loved the juxtaposition of wearing casual elements with more glam pieces; both in texture, and in silhouette. So, I set about to recreate the look using items I’d included in my capsule. Wearing Everlane sweater*; Marle skirt; Golden Goose sneakers; Polene number one nano bag*; Muru Jewellery necklace* I wore my Everlane alpaca knit sweater (again); this time taking that style cue from Jess and wearing it untucked. In truth, this is something I seldom do. My hips are my…
The four-month sleep regression is exhausting. I’m almost tempted to start spending my days in loungewear, working where I need to from bed. My weekend outfits definitely reflect that, as I opted for easy, relaxed basics which were the next best thing. Wearing Uniqlo men’s stripe top (old but this is cute); Karen Walker trousers (similar option here); Charlotte Olympia kitty flats; Polene number one nano bag*; Mejuri necklace & pearl bracelet*; Rosefield watch Linen is typically something I associate with spring/summer, but I’ve loved the juxtaposition of wearing this breezy material during the colder months. I was almost tempted…
Wrapping up the week in another denim look. These Madewell jeans are fast becoming one of my most worn items – something I see myself reaching for again and again throughout the next three weeks. When I first started building my 30X30 wardrobe, one thing I wanted to try and do was break out of the cycle of wearing denim on repeat. In a way, I felt like I was starting to fall into a style rut where I no longer felt excited about what I was wearing each day. Wearing Everlane pima cotton tank; Country Road cardigan (old but…
All dressed up and no where to go. At least, that sums up how I felt when I put this on yesterday. I’d wanted to include a couple of “dressier” tops in my capsule – this sculptural option being one of them – as I could see myself easily falling into a bit of a rut. You know, reaching for the same handful of items over and over. Which I have no problem with, though the casual nature of those outfits makes me feel some sense of loss over my style identity; something I’m still grappling with post-pregnancy. Lola Rae…
