Last week Z and I were headed to friend’s apartment to hang out and I spent an unfortunate amount of time staring at my closet and whining the usual “I have NOTHING to wear.” Except it was (kind of) true – when it comes to casual wear when the weather drops below 65 degrees, I’m at a loss… I blame this mostly on the fact that I don’t really do pants – and by pants I mean jeans. In fact if you don’t count leggings/yoga pants, I have exactly 2 pairs of pants in my closet – 1 pair of skinny jeans and 1 pair of suit pants that I haven’t worn since 2007 and probably don’t fit anymore. Also, I own exactly zero t-shirts. Sad, right?
Well not really – I’m 5ft tall and finding pants that fit is a big pain. Maybe one day I’ll be motivated to find the “perfect” pair of jeans and be a convert… but until then I’m stocking up on leggings and calling it a day! So while I’ve developed somewhat of an everyday work/life uniform, I’m finding a need to define a more casual uniform as well. So far it’s best illustrated by these looks from DVF (of course!)…
Throwing on silk tunics/dresses over leggings is as easy as it gets for me.
Just add a lot of black leather…
Loeffler Randall Riley Boots, Alexander Wang Darcy Hobo, Alice + Olivia Leather Trim Blazer (if these 3 could make their way into my closet over the next few months, that would be amazing… *cough* my birthday is november 1st *cough*)
And we can’t forget the cocktail rings…
Manu Spectrum Druzy Ring, Kanupriya Golden Mushroom Ring, Alexis Bittar Miss Havisham Crystal Ring
Do you have a casual fall uniform?
