Everything I wore last week | 02
This one is packed with lots of neutrals and denim staples and a few outfits where I've stepped out of my denim comfort zone!
MONDAY
OUTFIT FORMULA = JEANS ➕ CARDIGAN ➕ OVERSIZED WOOL COAT ➕ CONVERSE HIGH TOPS
Coat similar colour, jeans, cardigan, necklace, sneakers similar colour
Outfit Details…I actually wore this same outfit the night before when I went out for dinner with my lovely friend. I was feeling pretty lazy and left it (neatly!) next to my bed. So when I saw it through sleepy eyes on Monday morning, I knew it would do the job for a quiet day working in the office!
Straight leg jeans, paired with a neutral camel wool cardigan is one of my favourite go-to formulas - elevated yet causal. The oversized wool coat was a great layer for a chilly morning start and I love wearing a pair of Converse High Tops to make an outfit feel a little edgy and playful!
TUESDAY
OUTFIT FORMULA = BARREL PANTS ➕ CREW NECK SWEATER ➕ CONVERSE HIGH TOPS
Barrel pants, sweater, sneakers, bag, sunnies, necklace
Outfit Details…I’m not sure if it's just me, but as soon as the colder weather arrives, I find myself instinctively reaching for a pair of jeans. So, this autumn, I'm challenging myself to embrace non-denim pieces! Inspired by Ashley Rohr (@ashrohr), I fell in love with these Everlane Barrel pants—the colour and the barrel leg felt like a refreshing change. Keeping it relatively causal, I paired them with a black crew neck sweater and black High Tops which were ideal for a day of school pick ups & drop offs and WFH. Adding a woven bag provided a perfect touch of texture, breaking up the dark colour scheme.
WEDNESDAY
OUTFIT FORMULA = WIDE LEG PANTS ➕ TEE ➕ BLAZER ➕ WOVEN BALLET FLATS
Pants, tee, blazer, woven ballet flats, bag, necklace
Outfit Details….Can you believe it? Two days in a row without reaching for jeans! Well, almost—there was a quick change in the evening into a pair of jeans for a pottery class (so much fun!!) But the rest of Wednesday was spent in the office, so I opted for a chic wide-leg pant and blazer combo. It strikes the perfect balance between professional and comfortable, however, I still wanted to keep it relaxed, so I paired it with a simple tee and black woven flats for a polished look.
THURSDAY
OUTFIT FORMULA = JEANS ➕ STRIPED TOP ➕ BOMBER JACKET ➕ CONVERSE HIGH TOPS
Jeans , striped top similar, bomber jacket , sneakers, sunnies,
Outfit Details…if you caught my Insta reel last week, you’ll know I'm a die-hard secondhand online shopper. This COS bomber jacket was a gem of a find for $30! The olive green paired with black and white stripes is a match made in heaven—I'll definitely be wearing this combo on repeat. Thursday was a day packed with errands, school drop-offs, and WFH, so I opted for my simple ReDone straight-legged jeans and the black Cons to tie the whole outfit together. Honestly, I couldn't get enough of this look!
FRIDAY
OUTFIT FORMULA = UTILITY PANTS ➕SHIRT ➕ OVERSIZED DENIM JACKET ➕ BLACK ANKLE BOOTS
utility pants, shirt, oversized denim jacket , boots,
Outfit Details… I started off the day in a matching olive green athleisure set from Boody, but I had a couple of appointments later in the day, so I quickly switched into this ensemble! These brown pants were another preloved gem, and I adore how they contrast with black. For a little twist, I chose a simple striped button-down shirt, layered with an oversized denim jacket (yet another secondhand find), and paired it all with these black ankle boots (if you’ve seen my insta stories this week, you’ll know how excited I was to pick these up on Depop!) for an edgy (& super comfortable) vibe!
SATURDAY
OUTFIT FORMULA = JEANS ➕ OVERSIZED SHIRT ➕ SWEATER ➕ OVERSIZED WOOL COAT ➕ SNEAKERS
Jeans similar, shirt similar, sweater, Coat similar colour, sneakers, bag,
Outfit Details…anyone else have an ironing basket that’s taller than they are?! Well, Saturday I realised there was a few things in there I hadn’t seen in a while so I made an outfit that came straight out of the basket! Normally, I only wear this oversized stripe shirt on its own, but it was pretty chilly so I experimented with layering. The light wash jeans & blue shirt provided a perfect base, allowing the darker sweater and coat to stand out against it. The white sneakers matched the white stripe on the shirt and tied it together seamlessly. I will be repeating this one again!
SUNDAY
OUTFIT FORMULA = SILK SKIRT ➕ SWEATER ➕ BLACK ANKLE BOOTS
Silk skirt, sweater, boots, necklace, sunnies,
Outfit Details…I headed out for a kid-free lunch with my gorgeous friend and I took it as an excuse to get a little more dressed up than usual. I opted to winterise my favourite Realisation Par skirt (animal print is a fabulous neutral in my eyes!) with one of the easiest repeatable outfit formulas…black crew neck sweater and my new (preloved) Jo Mercer black ankle boots. Sandwich styling at its finest!
