A few looks that have grabbed me while shopping lately —
Can I be this woman? Effortlessly pulled together, elegant, yet comfortable? Love the entire look. She’s wearing a Le Kasha cashmere hoodie and pants set ($$$$$, seen above in a different colorway) with a Loulou de la Saison bag (on super sale) and Le Monde Beryl flats.
Showing how I’d recreate with items in my own closet / looks for less. I’d probably wear my Mansur Gavriel bucket tote since it nails the right shape but I do feel like the color isn’t ideal (mine is green) for the tonal look I’m loving above…
VARLEY HALF-ZIP // VARLEY PANTS // STEVE MADDEN FLATS // ZARA BAG // SHASHI EARRINGS
Another look I stared at and dissected for awhile below. I love the tension of the ladylike jacket and mary jane with the casual jean and on-trend Bottega! Jacket is Allude; jeans are Agolde; flats are Le Monde Beryl; and of course bag is Bottega.
How I’d recreate with items I own / looks for less…I got hung up on the jacket. The navy, the piping! But I do like the colors in my version of the outfit. Other jackets I considered: VB’s Makayla jacket (actually in my closet, and I’d probably wear this — but nearly sold out online!); J. Crew; this cropped wool Quince; and this Mango.
PISTOLA LEXI JEANS // ARITZIA SWEATER JACKET // DOLCE VITA FLATS // COMMENSE BAG // J. CREW EARRINGS
OK, this one may be a bit out of our normal comfort zone, and is the inverse of the previous outfits in the sense that everything shown below is reasonably priced (head to toe Everlane) and I’m sharing higher end pieces beneath it to demonstrate how Everlane has taken some serious high-end trends and translated them into approachable, reasonably-priced fashion. I think the styling is genius — incorporating a lot of micro-trends but in a way that I feel I could pull off.
RUGBY SHIRT // WAY HIGH JEAN // BOAT SHOES (LOOK FOR LESS HERE) // JACKET
The upgrade pick versions…this look is SO good!!
MIU MIU BOAT SHOES // AGOLDE JEANS // GUEST IN RESIDENCE RUGBY // TOTEME JACKET
Last but not least, literally replicated this look this past weekend (see me in it here)…VB for the win! The model below is wearing this denim vest, these jeans, and these heels.
The exact outfit I wore to recreate: her exact vest (look for less here, here), my new Margaux block heels (look for less with VB’s heavily discounted pair, or these fab red ones!), my Dash bag, these earrings, and these jeans (look for less here).
What’s been catching your eye lately?
P.S. On making everything the most important thing.
P.P.S. Reflections on the prayer my Dad has said before all five of his children’s weddings!
P.P.P.S. So grateful for my early patrons — the teachers and uncles and friends who told me “keep writing!” when I was young and impressionable and in possession of the kind of sanguinity and outsized confidence that life tends to chip away at.
