Over and over

T by Alexander Wang jumper, Supre jeans, ASOS aviator jacket (similar), Witchery silver flats (similar), Proenza Schouler PS11 bag, Karen Walker sunglasses, Mimco necklace, Meadowlark rings Having spent so long wanting to add a white pair of jeans to my small collection, I can’t help but want to wear them as much as possible, almost like making up for lost time with an old friend.

Never would I think that I would be wanting to go out for ice cream in the middle of winter in Wellington of all places, and barelegged at that. Over the weekend I found myself once again taking stock of my wardrobe, which seems to be a rather common occurrence these days.

There were lashings of lace, silk satin floor length gowns, and boxy tuxedo jackets in a mixture of pastels and bold gem tones. True to form, many of the pieces were incredibly feminine, in light sheer fabrics, nipping in at…
