March 2024, part one – Blue Collar Red Lipstick

Facts: Club Monaco turtleneck (retail, outdated), Ralph Lauren sweater (eBay), J. Crew blazer (retail, previous), Fossil belt (thrifted), Banana Republic pants (retail), Mentor bag (Poshmark)

Thoughts: This shade of brown is a person of my faves … wait around, did I just say “one”? Does that suggest I have much more than one favourite shade of brown? Who am I????? It’s legitimate, although. I have been fearful of brown — effectively, not scared exactly, a lot more like uninterested — my complete daily life, but it turns out that it is basically a attractive colour. Or colors, fairly. This shade is at the intersection of brown and burgundy, and I enjoy its richness. There is some of it in the blazer as very well, which actually can help to tie this all jointly. A straightforward but very gratifying outfit.

Details: Hole shirt, Ralph Lauren vest, Zara blazer, Esprit belt (all thrifted), Ralph Lauren skirt (eBay)

Views: This is a Historian/Trailblazer mash-up, and I love it. Papa Ralph does pattern mixing definitely well,, and also juxtaposition, and that was my intention below as properly. The trickiest element was deciding upon the proper reasonable isle vest, and I built my decision centered on the colour palette (of program). There is a little bit of brown in the vest, and I considered the neat gray would go well with the greyish blue of the skirt. I assume the brown belt with patinaed silver buckle was also the correct selection below, to convey the vest and skirt collectively.

Facts: Liz Claiborne sweater, Roolee costume, Gap blazer (all thrifted)

Ideas: As significantly as I’m turning into a brown-loving girlie, there will usually be a smooth location for black & white outfits in my coronary heart. I do not think black flatters me as a great deal as brown does (specially worn near to the face with no other, brighter colors to harmony it out), but I discover that paired with white, it does not close up wanting so significant and “draining”. Generally, I don’t search as a great deal like Casper the ghost, as opposed to when I wear all black. And y’all know how I experience about mixing unique b&w patterns — no mistaken possibilities, at any time.

Aspects: Ralph Lauren shirt, BR belt, Urban Outfitters skirt (all thrifted)

Ideas: Guyssssss! I’m obsessed with this outfit. This is why I Desired a white men’s shirt in my lifestyle. The in good shape. The somewhat turned up collar. It feels so … amazing. A white shirt paired with a complete, extended skirt — and a assertion belt! — has been on my thoughts, as an outfit method, for months now and I’m so fired up that I can lastly make it come about. I could not resist thrifting this skirt mainly because (a) plaid, (b) tiers, (c) quantity! I never really like the polyester material, but I guess I just cannot acquire them all. The midsection is stretchy, which is awesome. Mainly because I had to don the skirt bigger on my waist, so the belt would cinch at my narrowest position (to emphasize the volume on the bottom), I resolved to incorporate a petticoat to extend the size of the skirt. The best-and-tail impact of the white was a great included bonus.

Particulars: Ralph Lauren shirt, Gap belt, Jeanne Pierre sweater (all thrifted), Banana Republic pants (retail)

Feelings: I broke my no-retail streak recently, but I assume you will have an understanding of why. You know the BR corduroy extensive leg trousers I bought in Dec 2022? Of course, you do — they’re in the initial outfit higher than. I Appreciate them, and my major regret ever considering the fact that acquiring them has been not acquiring the camel brown model at the similar time. I’ve been looking for it on Poshmark, but they’ve under no circumstances popped up in my dimension. So what’s likely on right here? Very well, I went to Winners lately to look for one thing for my daughter, and as I was strolling out, I noticed this pair of trousers on the clearance rack. I identified them immediately, in disbelief. Certainly, it’s the BR corduroy vast leg trousers in camel brown. In my dimensions!! The only pair. In my measurement!! And you will not feel how significantly I paid for them: $12. Why? How? How did a pair of BR pants from more than a year in the past close up at Winners? The most significant mystery. I am so pleased they did. The only downside is that this is the typical duration, not the petite, so it’s more time than I would like it to be. I will need really significant heels to dress in it as-is, which is not super versatile for me. I am setting up to get them hemmed to the identical length as my other pair. I can’t wait around to don them all over again!

Particulars: Ralph Lauren shirt, Wilfred vest, H&M trousers, Joseph belt (all thrifted)

Views: I explained to you very last week that this crimson vest was earning issues come about in my closet, and here is extra evidence. I enjoy both variations of this outfit, with and with no the blazer.
