No Jewelry
Posted: September 8, 2017 Filed under: Clothes | Tags: black sandals, blue, brown, brown fish-print blouse, navy wide-leg jeans 1 CommentI’ve been feeling disinclined to wear any jewelry lately. Mostly it’s because the tops I’m wearing are pretty attention-grabbing on their own (like this fish-print blouse), so any brooch or necklace would just clutter up the outfit. Besides, I’m getting bored with all of my accessories, but don’t want to buy any new one. Also, it’s really hot and muggy these days and I just want to put on a shirt and be done with it (to the point I didn’t even bother changing my jeans + sandals pairing.) It’s going to change in the fall, I’m sure, but for now I’m going to stick to a “minimal jewelry” look.
A Stylish Potato Sack
Posted: August 25, 2017 Filed under: Clothes | Tags: beige, black sandals, blue, khaki blouse, navy wide-leg jeans, necklace 2 CommentsThis blouse is the third (and last) of my shopping haul to prepare for the new school year. I wasn’t going to get it because it’s the exact same cut as the gray polka-dot one and I was afraid it would look like a potato sack on me, but my sister convinced me that it’s my color. She’s right, of course – my coloring is autumn, so earth tones look best on me – and even though I still think it looks like a potato sack, it’s a nice potato sack, so I’m happy to add it to my closet.
P/S: Looking at these photos again, I realized that my beige sandals may be better – they make the bottom half of the outfit less heavy – but as I just wore these sandals earlier in the week, it was easier to grab them.
Weekly Capsule 31.2 & 3: New Blouse
Posted: August 6, 2015 Filed under: Capsule, Clothes | Tags: black, black flats, black pants, blue, brooch, brown flat sandals, capsule summer/fall 2015, navy wide-leg jeans, necklace, white, white sleeveless blouse 2 CommentsI was drawn to this blouse because it kind of reminds me of the muslin blouses that my grandma used to wear in the summer – right down to the two pockets, except on my grandma’s blouses the pockets would be down near the hem. I told myself that I didn’t need another sleeveless white blouse in my closet, but the boxy shape and the simple style are exactly what I want. Plus it’s perfect for the muggy days before the storm. Or after the storm, for that matter.
