What I wore this week 04
We're finally back at one-jacket-weather!
This post is slightly too long for email! Read the entire post here.
Monday
The best part about doing a no-buy month is that it forces you to get more creative with what you already have. That plus the major closet purging I’ve been doing has been a great reminder that I have some beautiful pieces in my closet that I don’t reach for enough. One example is this cinched blazer that I’ve only worn once. In my defence it’s been way to cold for it but now that we’re getting some semblance of spring, I definitely want to get more wear out of it. I’m thinking it may be kind of fun to start doing themed weeks. Like picking one piece that I want to wear more and just styling it 7 different ways throughout the days. Let me know if you’d want to see that!
* FM2050 no longer has this cinched blazer but if I were to upgrade it, I would definitely get this one for it’s amazing structured shape and length or this one which was the very first cinched blazer I tried and fell in love with.
Wednesday
On Wednesday I needed to run some errands in the city so my partner and I decided to grab some coffee from Revolver since we hadn’t been there in a while. I’ve been spending more time rediscovering my own city (before I move away to Europe!) and have been falling back in love with the coffee/cafe culture here. If you’ve also been feeling uninspired in your home city, I’d highly recommend making it a challenge for yourself to rediscover the simple joys you used to love!
*These Church’s sandals were one of my favorite purchases from my trip to Milan last year but sadly they’ve been discontinued. This Everlane pair would be the perfect alternative or Church’s new version of the sandal!
Thursday
Trousers are some of my favorite WFH pants to wear because they look put together but are still very comfortable to lounge around in. Didn’t actually leave the house on Thursday but I think this outfit would’ve been a great one to wear with my vintage Prada heels.
Friday
We had such a beautiful day on Friday so I decided to take myself on a solo writing day to a local cafe, Buvette. The fact that it’s one jacket weather makes me SO happy (although this week the rain is back :( )
I’ve been reaching for these jeans a lot for WFH days as well because the slouchy, relaxed fit makes them so comfortable to sit around in. Been really inspired by Linda’s outfits this spring, specially her eye for color-theory. It’s what inspired the brown tones in this outfit.
Sunday
I spent Sunday with
and it reminded me of how important it is to schedule girl dates! It was sunny in Vancouver (rare) so we decided to walk around Granville Island and check out the book stores there.It was the first semi-warm spring day we’ve had so of course the Tabi flats came out with me instantly. I’ve also been loving seeing cropped trench coats all over my feed! I’ve owned this one from JNBY for a few years now so it’s a bit of a full-circle moment for sure. Sadly it’s discontinued but the infamous Frankie Shop one is to die for!
I often think of Buvette
