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…
Decided to go for the Parisian classic striped top and skinny jeans combo for day eight. One of my girlfriends jokes that this is the “mum uniform”; they’re items we all likely have in our closets, and it’s a pairing that always just seems to *work*. Wearing Grana mens stripe top (old but this is a cute t-shirt version); Madewell skinny jeans* (also here); Workshop utility jacket (old but this looks the same); Vaneli two tone pumps; Cuyana leather tote; Witchery belt I can’t recall whether I’ve mentioned this already, but these Madewell jeans have been such a great addition…
We’re officially one week down into my 30X30 capsule wardrobe challenge, and I have to say, I’m feeling really good about it. While I noted yesterday that my colour palette is quite… bland (putting it mildly!), getting dressed each morning has been an incredibly simple exercise. Wearing Arket t-shirt (not shown); Sheep Included sweater; Christopher Kane skirt (old but this is cute); Vince draped knit cardigan (old but I love this or similar style in a grid check here); Charlotte Olympia kitty flats; Linjer Lana tote bag*; Mejuri necklace*; Ana Luisa ring* (10% off with “Mademoiselle10”) I felt like going…
Considering how much black, white and grey I chose for this 30X30, I hope I can be forgiven for the plethora of monochromatic looks I’ll be wearing throughout the month. That’s if my current track record is anything to go by anyway… Wearing Everlane tank; Marle silk skirt; & Other Stories cardigan; Everlane pointed toe flats*; Linjer Lana bag*; Timeless Pearly earrings I’ve been slowly cycling through all the jeans, trousers and skirts I included in my capsule. Out of habit, I know I tend to focus on a handful of items. Often, wearing the same piece a few days…
