Pendleton
Posted: April 12, 2024 Filed under: Clothes | Tags: beige, beige peter pan collar short-sleeve sweater, brooch, brown, brown lace-up boots, green, mustard wide-leg corduroy pants, plaid pendleton jacket 2 CommentsThis outfit is a bit mismatched, but I wanted to post it anyway because it’s been a while since I last wore this jacket. It’s one of the first vintage jackets I thrifted (over 10 years ago!!!) – I remember being so stoked to see the Pendleton label – but it’s unlined, which makes it a little less comfy to wear. When it was one of my few jackets/blazers, I didn’t mind it, but now when I have other blazers to wear, I kind of forget about it. But for some reason, I wanted to wear a green jacket today (probably because spring is in the air), and my other green jacket is too thick, so I dug this out. I’m just happy it still fits me. I must remember to wear it more often.
Fair Isle
Posted: April 5, 2024 Filed under: Clothes | Tags: beige, beige fair isle cardigan, brown, brown lace-up boots, brown wool skirt Leave a commentThis combination of the Fair Isle sweater and long wool skirt makes me feel like a character in a fantasy book set in the Scottish Highlands or the Hebrides (it has to be fantasy because I don’t think this is practical for either the Highlands or the Hebrides.) Anyway, the weather is warming up quickly so here’s my chance to wear all the cold-weather clothes while I still can. I have to admit, I was getting a little bored with my winter wardrobe, but I am not ready for spring/summer at all!
A Hundred Million Suns
Posted: March 27, 2024 Filed under: Clothes | Tags: black, black galaxy sweater, brown, brown lace-up boots, yellow, yellow midi skirt 2 CommentsWhen I was putting this outfit together and taking photos of it, I was absolutely convinced that I’d worn it before. I mean, it seems like such a no-brainer of an outfit that I can’t believe I haven’t worn it before. But it turns out I haven’t! The same goes for the post title – it’s the name of a Snow Patrol album, and I’ve been using Snow Patrol song titles and lyrics for my post titles since forever, so I thought I must’ve used this too (for an outfit featuring this sweater), but again, I haven’t! I guess I’m constantly surprising myself today…
Winter’s Waning
Posted: March 11, 2024 Filed under: Clothes | Tags: brooch, brown, brown bobble sweater, brown lace-up boots, brown plaid blazer, mustard baggy corduroy pants, style imitating art 3 CommentsHere’s my outfit for this week’s SIA, inspired by the wood carvings of Giles Newman. Since we’re not using a particular piece for inspiration (though I did take the title of one of the pieces as my post title), I went with a general feel of the pieces instead – the colors are to reflect the shades of brown of the wood, of course, but I also chose these corduroy trousers and the sweater to reflect the woodgrain/texture, and I had to add one of my wood brooches as well.
If you haven’t sent me your outfits, you still have until tomorrow! And don’t forget to come back on Wednesday to see what everybody wore!
