What I Wore This Week (or WIWTW for short) is a new series I’m starting where I share my outfit details from the week. I’ve been obsessed with Anna’s Newton’s The Wardrobe Edit lately and I’ve been feeling nostalgic for my first fashion blog (aka how I really started on the internet). In this series you’ll find what I’m wearing, links (if they exist) and hopefully as well as actual photos of what I’m wearing. Hope you enjoy it as much as I’ve enjoyed writing it!
Also, I did create a separate section called “The Style Guide” for all my fashion related posts. The Style Guide will be purely dedicated to personal style tips, intentional shopping, and balancing trends and timeless styles. If you’re not interested in personal style content, you can go to your settings and unclick The Style Edit section. I do hope you stay, and enjoy it as much as my main posts!
Monday
Do I go to cafes just to dress up or do I dress up just to go to cafes? Either way, I was excited to put on a cute outfit and get out of the house because it was finally sunny after a stint of gloom. I got gifted this brown sweater from Oak + Fort a while back but I decided to sell it on my Depop. The length was a tad too short for my long torso so hopefully it’ll find a new home.
Tuesday
Just a WFH day but I was dying to wear my new Uniqlo x JW Anderson jeans so I thought why not just style it the way I would’ve if I was going out. One of my goals this year is actually to wear my outside outfits inside more. I do get out of my PJs first thing in the morning but why not put the extra effort in so I can look good and feel good even when I’m just at home? Anyways, these jeans have now become a staple. I shamelessly own them in all 3 shades.
If you want a low waist baggy fit, I’d suggest going up 2 sizes.
Wednesday
Another WFH day but I did pop out to a cafe to read for a couple hours in the afternoon. I love a groutfit (all gray outfit) although sadly I no longer have any grey coats. I’m still uncertain about this Sezane cardigan but it is growing on me more and more.
Thursday
I’ve been trying to schedule one day a week for just fun, creative days with friends. This Thursday, I met up with Vernice and we cafe-hopped on Main street. Honestly love having these types of days. A little bit of work, some pastries, some browsing.
Friday
Another day at home. I actually took a slow day and spent a bunch of time planning for Substack posts and setting up my Indyx wardrobe. Really loving their app so far and I honestly spent too many hours saving all my clothes and planning outfits. I kid you not when I say I’ve been wearing the Uniqlo x JW Anderson jeans non-stop. I reach for them especially on WFH days because the oversized fit makes them so comfortable.
Saturday
After obsessively reading The Wardrobe Edit on Friday, I downloaded Indyx and started to catalogue my entire wardrobe. Wardrobe blindness has been an issue of mine for so long so anything that brings a little more clarity into what I own, what I wear the most, and what’s not getting enough love is a win in my books. Even as someone who does a wardrobe purge nearly monthly, I still have troubles reaching for more than just my usual 10-20 pieces. So hopefully this will help with that!
Saturday’s outfit contains entirely of pieces that I know I love but don’t reach for enough.
Sunday
Had such a lovely Sunday! My partner and I decided to enjoy the nice weather and get into town for some pastries. It’s been a while since I’ve had a croissant so I got an almond croissant that hit the spot. This is another outfit built around some pieces that I don’t reach for enough. I got both jacket and denim jacket years ago and although I love the style of both, they just never seem to make it into my daily outfits. Here’s to the year we actually wear all of our clothes.
Also for anyone else who owns the infamous New Yorker tote—do you find yourself reaching for this ALL THE TIME? Why is it my default “I’m not sure what bag to wear” bag. Is it the black on beige color theme? Is it the fun font? What makes this bag so wearable? Something for me to ponder as I learn more about my go-to pieces.
See you next Sunday! 💌
