A blue tonal OOTD

A blue tonal OOTD

Filing this one under tonal outfits to recreate. Clearly having a bit of a moment with the colour blue, in desaturated – yet rich – tones. The only thing that really feels “out of the box” for me with this outfit is the colour combo. Which, if you’re opting to add in colour, is another tip. Go with items you know well and wear often. This can be said for adding in new colours, but also when adding in new silhouettes. You’ll already have a good frame of reference, so the integration feels more effortless and like less “work”.

A series of items I’ve been bookmarking lately

A series of items I’ve been bookmarking lately

As far as my personal style journey goes, it feels like I’ve recently entered what I’d consider a “playful” era. In my twenties, I dialled back the total number of items in my closet to around 65-70. I spent time considering which core pieces most felt reflective of me. While simultaneously shedding my closet of any items that had serious spark or personality. It was classic. Reflecting back, it felt a little reminiscent of the types of items my mum was fond of. Funny that. My wish lists were purposeful. Each and every item I added to my closet was…

The creamy little combo giving me country club vibes. Having a little bit of fun here with the Jenni Kayne Hampton shirt (PR); a chic cotton popover with faded indigo chambray stripe.
