Everything I wore last week | 50
Spring dressing is in full swing—loving the lighter layers and easy looks I’ll be living in!
Hello lovely readers!
First off, a huge thank you for all the sweet messages and likes on last week’s post—it was my most engaged yet! After a little break, it truly meant the world to hear from so many of you. It’s so good to be back.
Last week, I kicked things off with a new format—sharing my top three things I’ve been loving lately before diving into the Monday-to-Sunday outfit diary. So let’s get into this week’s round-up!
#1 — OK, I know this is a total repeat, but...
I’m still fully obsessed with The Summer I Turned Pretty. I honestly don’t know what I’m going to do when it ends—I’m in deep. My entire Insta feed is TSITP reels and you know what? I’m not even mad about it.
#2 — A wishlist dream come true.
If you’ve been following me for a while, you’ll know I’m a sucker for a new season wardrobe refresh—especially when it comes to well-researched, versatile pieces. These Sézane sandals have been on my wishlist forever, and they finally arrived last week. I’m in love. Expect to see them styled very soon!
#3 — Back in my reading era.
After flying through all three TSITP books in less than a week (yes, really), I was on the hunt for my next reads. Thanks to some amazing recs from you over on my Insta stories, I’ve just downloaded:
– Every Summer After by Carley Fortune
– Here One Moment by Liane Moriarty
– Atmosphere by Taylor Jenkins Reid
Can’t wait to dive in—will report back!
And now that we’ve covered this week’s obsessions, let’s get into what I wore over the past seven days. Let me know which outfit is your fave!
MONDAY
OUTFIT FORMULA = BARREL JEANS➕ SWEATER ➕ WOOL COAT ➕ LOAFERS
Outfit Details….I don’t usually head into the office on a Monday, so I had to pull together an outfit quickly — something comfortable but still office-appropriate.
I knew I wanted to wear my Sézane loafers (honestly one of my best autumn investments!), so I built the look around them. My black-wash barrel jeans are perfect for the office — polished but still super comfy. I paired them with a simple oversized cream knit, and to break up the neutral base, I threw on my caramel wool coat. Effortless, minimal, and just the kind of outfit I love for a crisp spring day.
TUESDAY
OUTFIT FORMULA = BARREL CORDUROY PANTS ➕ BLACK WOOL SWEATER ➕ BOMBER JACKET ➕ WOVEN FLATS

Outfit Details…after a denim-heavy week of outfits, I was wanting to make a conscious effort to reach for some non-denim pieces in my wardrobe — and these COS corduroy pants have been such a great winter purchase.
They’re incredibly versatile, and I’m really enjoying styling them for the slightly warmer weather we’ve been having. I kept the top half simple with a black knit and a bomber jacket, then added a little polish with one of my favourite thrifted finds — this silk scarf. Just a small detail, but it really pulls the whole look together!
WEDNESDAY
OUTFIT FORMULA = MAXI SKIRT ➕ TEE ➕ DENIM JACKET ➕ LOAFERS
Outfit Details…I thought it’d be fun to kick off spring dressing with a little Insta series: ‘Easy, Effortless Spring Looks’ — and this was the first outfit I featured!
It’s one of those easy mix-and-match combos that makes me love transitional spring style. I picked up this Unison maxi skirt a couple of weeks ago, thinking ahead to warmer days, but I’m loving it styled for now with loafers, a simple tank, and my black denim shacket. It keeps the look balanced — not too summery, just the right amount of spring.
THURSDAY
OUTFIT FORMULA = WIDE LEG JEANS ➕ LINEN CAMI ➕ CREW NECK SWEATER ➕ TRENCH ➕ LEATHER FLATS
Outfit Details…I headed into the office on Thursday in a pretty casual outfit to start — wide-leg jeans and my new orange Uniqlo sweater (which I’m totally loving right now!).
One of my favourite spring styling tricks to elevate a look is simply throwing on a trench coat — it adds instant polish and works every time. What I really love about spring dressing is the mix of seasons — pairing cosy pieces with lighter accessories, like this oversized tote. It’s the perfect in-between weather combo!
FRIDAY
OUTFIT FORMULA = WIDE LEG JEANS ➕ STRIPED SHIRT ➕ CARDIGAN ➕ CONVERSE
Outfit Details…This look was totally inspired by an outfit I spotted on the Assembly Label website (see pic below)— jeans, a blue shirt, and a camel sweater. Right up my street, so I thought I’d try recreating it with pieces from my own wardrobe!
I wore my Arket wide-leg jeans with a sweet light blue striped shirt from Feather & Noise*. I didn’t have the exact style of sweater, but my Sézane Gaspard cardigan worked perfectly — I just wore it back to front for a similar vibe. Finished it off with my ecru Converse and a chocolate brown suede bag. Love when you can take inspo and make it your own with what you already have!
SATURDAY
OUTFIT FORMULA = WIDE LEG JEANS ➕ TEE ➕ ALPACA SWEATER ➕ DENIM SHACKET ➕LEATHER FLATS
Outfit Details…I’m absolutely loving this spring weather — finally layering without a big coat in sight! We headed out for a quick café stop and a sunny stroll, and it felt so good to dress light.
I went for my wide-leg jeans and a classic white tee (Uniqlo is always my go-to), layered with my cosy Everlane alpaca sweater. Instead of reaching for a heavy coat, I threw on my black denim shacket — the perfect in-between layer. To brighten up the darker tones, I added a pop of colour with my new red beaded necklace, which I’ve been wearing on repeat lately!
SUNDAY
OUTFIT FORMULA = BARREL JEANS➕ KNITTED TEE ➕ TRENCH ➕ FLATS
Outfit details…we had the loveliest Father’s Day — a slow, chilled morning at home, then off to the movies and dinner out to celebrate the best dad we could ask for. Such a fun, relaxed day!
I was so excited to finally wear my new barrel jeans (truly obsessed) and paired them with this cute burgundy knit tee (gifted from Feather & Noise). Now that it’s warming up, I’ll definitely be reaching for it more! I’ve been loving accessories lately, so I added this sweet little scarf from Sézane, threw on my classic trench, and finished the look with my current fave — these dreamy off-white leather flats.
That’s a wrap on this week’s edition—thanks so much for being here!
