When I was pregnant, I wore stuff from the men’s sale rack. It’s the best place to find a classic, oversized look and add my own twist to it. When it comes to clothes I always tend to look comfortable and cool, pretty much laid-back style. Most mornings I get ready in five minutes because I’m taking Mia to play groups, so there are little mantras I use when getting dressed. One of them is ‘go monochromatic.’ If I put on a ”wine” dress and hoodie, to me it looks a little more elevated and planned because it’s monochromatic.
Burgundy Cropped Hoodie: New Look; Dungaree Pinafore Dress: New Look; High-tops: Converse.
It took me a long time to realize that skinny jeans weren’t great for my body type. But then a whole new pant world opened up for me: Omg, trousers! Boyfriend jeans! I’m riding that wave right now. When pants are relaxed, I feel relaxed.
Levi’s 501 CT Boyfriend Jeans similar; Ruffle Shirt: M&S; Leather Brogues: ASOS similar.
Turtle Neck Jumper: New Look; Bell-shaped skirt: H&M.
The tucking-in of the sweater is also a new phenomenon for me. I didn’t know you could do that and still look fashionable. But it’s totally a thing! I first saw it on a girl at a dinner party, and she had tucked a just a tiny part of her sweater, like a thumb’s worth, into silk pants.
What clothing style do you like?
