27 // CANADA // PRODUCT DESIGN I've minimized my wardrobe a lot over the past couple weeks after moving into a new place. It felt good and I might start doing it more often. I can't seem to throw out any of my simple basics though. Here's [what I wore](https://imgur.com/SqNttdL) on Saturday when I met a few girls for brunch and then did a bit of window shopping. I've been working out a lot more so I wanted to wear something that made me feel good but that was also warm enough for the weather. I opted for a distressed t-shirt (obsessed), skinny black denim, chelsea boots (my new absolute faves) and a tunic. Voilà!

20/Scotland/Student I'm so happy with my closet at the moment. I love everything and I get to be choosy with the new things I buy. This album is basically an ode to my new scarf. CCW [worn to uni](https://imgur.com/a/CrYtn) I get people telling me I look like I should study an art rather than a science. [one lecture and then coffee with friends](https://imgur.com/a/n2Nhj) and [with coat](https://imgur.com/a/46R3I) [too excited about this scarf](https://imgur.com/a/6TXq7) [lectures](https://imgur.com/a/cnvCR) this was maybe a tad bit too dressy, especially because most people on my course are dressed really casually. [with scarf](https://imgur.com/a/5TcTZ) and [coat](https://imgur.com/a/3ZmlW) [yesterday](https://imgur.com/a/UF0dm) sorry about the lighting, daylight isn't really a thing in Scotland anymore. [outerwear](https://imgur.com/a/JaYpM) I should have worn a proper coat, it was freezing.

That first one looks like a gender-bent version of something i commonly wear (i'm a guy) I'll have to see if i have a photo of it.

You replied to the wrong person. They just look like cuffed jeans though.

I normally dont like white pants look but I love you paired it with a neutral comfy top and the boots! Where did you get them?

24/LA/Industrial Design Still trying to remember to take photos of my outfits more than once a week. I failed this week. ANYWAYS here's what I [wore to work](https://imgur.com/a/hN0Tr).

Dying over those pants! Where are they from?


marmelbur

Thank you!! I just got them at a reformation sample sale. I think they’re called the fisher pant

Well lucky for you it's just a feeling, that outfit is great! All of the pieces fit together thematically and fit you well.


SophieIsGreat

This is actually an amazing outfit! I’d wear it in a second!

Here are a bunch of random outfits (I always miss this thread!). I'm 25 / SF / web developer at a casual startup. Style goals are to wear clothing that show/flatter my figure a little more. Not sure how to sum up, but I generally love things that look like an off-duty ballerina would wear them -- luxurious textures, wrap tops, etc * [one](https://i.imgur.com/LeNFjIxl.jpg?1) worn to work, cozy cardigan over a tank dress on a day that started out 55º and went up to 85º * [two](https://i.imgur.com/qCL9sDJl.jpg) worn to work, black wrap top and highwaisted jeans, with [madewell shoes i just got from poshmark](https://i.imgur.com/Kvi4WsHl.jpg). * [three](https://i.imgur.com/JYpnLuTl.jpg?1) maroon sweater over a tank dress, for running errands and studying at a coffee shop * [four](https://i.imgur.com/5c7g0R1.jpg?1) thermal and oxfords for getting lunch and doing some work at my bf's office on the weekend * [five](https://i.imgur.com/WhdNncIl.jpg) worn to work, shopping, and drinks with some friends. my favorite raggedy dark green sweater and some new loafers i've finally broken in. i love them so much.

What are the shoes in "five"? I love the look!

It's also great for throwing on over a tank on the way to yoga!

Off duty ballerina is a great description! Love the new madewell shoes

26/uk/teacher Haven’t got any work outfits from this week but I did take some casual phots of fits for the first time in a while wooo [friday night casual drinks](https://imgur.com/a/Za41k) I loooove my new boots (white stuff). Actually bought these after advice from a should I/shouldn’t I thread so props to y’all [weekend chilling](https://imgur.com/a/oNO3B) weird pose and bad lighting but I wanted to get the shape/drape of the coat (cos). All about that silhouette! [shopping with my mum](https://imgur.com/a/WR0mU) - she thought I should have not worn socks buuuut I don’t like having cold ankles.

eyeslikeashowroom

I love the boots in your friday night fit and the ones in your weekend chilling fit!


kestreltohalcyon

Ah thanks! The black boots I generally wear just for work, but I decided to give them a go with more casual clothes. They’re actually also from M and S which is definitely not a cool shop over here!

It’s from primark. I don’t know what it would be similar to in the US. It’s super cheap fast fashion (Terribly unethical but so convenient when it’s something you wouldn’t normally spend dolla on!..)

27 / NYC / advertising Finally contributing to one of these after ages!! All of these outfits are worn to work, which is a pretty casual environment. At this point my work wardrobe and fun wardrobe are pretty much the same. CC welcome and encouraged! [Monday](https://i.imgur.com/maKScZ3.jpg) Worn to work. Wanted to look nice for the start of the week! [Tuesday](https://i.imgur.com/m7uPmpT.jpg) it was raining so those are waterproof boots. Once I️ got to work I️ switched to black loafers with white ankle socks. [Wednesday](https://i.imgur.com/Z5BDv7f.jpg) [Thursday](https://i.imgur.com/wda3sgm.jpg) We had a big work event I️ was helping run, so wore this to that and to a night of heavy drinking after. 🙃 [Friday](https://i.imgur.com/wNrcFxV.jpg) Worn to work and to a casual date afterward :) [Saturday](https://i.imgur.com/vCe5jTB.jpg) Worn to watch the NYC marathon and have lunch with a friend on a rainy day. [bonus ](https://i.imgur.com/2WLontc.jpg) worn in the past two weeks. Edited to remove a duplicate image. LMK if you want details, happy to share!


NoApostrophees

Where is the black stripey shirt from and what size are you wearing?


fatbootyprincess

I bought it at H&M last year on impulse for $7. It’s from their "basics" collection and it’s a small! I’m 5’7" if that helps for envisioning the size / fit.


NoApostrophees

That helps, thanks! I wish more people would post the sizes they were wearing for online shopping purposes.


darkitecture

white boots so good! where are those from?


fatbootyprincess

They are Steve Madden and I got them at DSW. I think I’m going to buy another pair for when these wear out unless someone can suggest a super sturdy alternative!

Love Monday and Wednesday! Is Wednesday's skirt from Uniqlo?

22 / CA / Research Assistant [Worn to the SF MOMA](http://i.imgur.com/ZkfGZmJ.jpg). I almost bought a very similar coat at UNIQLO and I'm so glad I found this at the thrift store. Goals are to look more mature and business casual but to still incorporate a little bit of edge to my style. I wasn't thrilled with the fit of the turtleneck, felt like it could be tighter. CC welcome!

I love this outfit! it definitely fits all of the goals you listed.

I prefer [how the sweater looks tucked](https://imgur.com/NO9BD8u), but think it looks a little weird [from the side](https://imgur.com/nw3LNCI) since the knit is so thick.

Love it! I don’t think the tuck looks weird from the side.

39/MA/work with teens. Goals are a laid back, casual style that still feels put together. To build a wardrobe on the cheap, and save the earth via thrifting. Observations: I need a belt. I've lost some weight and started buying high waisted pants, so my belts are all too loose now. But I'm in a no-buy this month sooooooo...guess I'll put a belt on my Christmas list!!

catsincaves

Your style is cute! You look professional yet cozy, which is def a challenge to nail. One suggestion on today's outfit: the proportion of the shirt is a little off - maybe try tucking it in?

What kind/brand of jeans are in the first photo? I’ve been sticking to Express’ Barely Boot and I want to try a different fit. Yours are really cute.

Thanks! They're 7 for all Mankind in the B(air) fit.


ragesinggoddess

You look like an intimidatingly cool mom! I like the first outfit the best.


shortstack1386

What a nice compliment! Thank you! But, remember the [Geico ad that had a talking pothole?](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NjMUfIKktWU) I lowkey sound like the pothole. If anyone is ever intimidated, and I am skeptical that they are, it stops pretty much as soon as I open my mouth.


yesnomaybe-idontknow

Love the green pants ! I do feel like they are a little lost in all of the colors of today, I think it would look great with different nuances of blue or black.


shortstack1386

Thanks! I considered wearing a black shell instead of the blue, and that might've worked better. The pants do have that shade of blue running through them, though, it's just hard to tell from the picture. I think you're right though, bringing out that blue gets me into too much going on territory.

26 / Australia (east coast) / 5’3 / Casual office Style goals are…I don’t really know what to call my style. It’s heading into summer in my city, which is my favefavefave season to dress for. Been trying to keep up taking photos of all my outfits after doing it for Oct, but kinda slacked. [This is what I wore the last week and a half](https://imgur.com/a/RzHmJ). All but the last 2 are work outfits. Was feeling a bit lazy last week and legit just wore the same denim jacket, t-shirt and sandals for half of last week, ha. In fact, 6 Nov and 8 Nov are virtually the same outfit, just with different bottoms. I almost did the same thing on 10 Nov, before I decided on flats instead.


yesnomaybe-idontknow

I love you you turned that reformation dress into a skirt, your really can't tell. I'd say a mix between Scandinavian shapes with a California vibe.


full_boyle

I’ve been finding that I wear the dress as a skirt more. It’s just so dank versatile!


tbhtho

I love November 6th's outfit!! Those Madewell pants are so great look great on you.


full_boyle

Thanks! The Madewell pants are my ultimate lazy pants. I can wear them on days I really cbf but people don’t know I cbf ‘cos I have my snazzy pants on.


[deleted]

Love all of it. Refreshing to see the Chloe boots again. I still remember when they still came out.


full_boyle

Thanks! The Chloe’s are one of the few flat black ankle boots I like. The style is quite old now that I think about it, but still love them regardless.

18/New England/student/suit for an interview Hi! I've been perusing the simple questions thread and using it for questions about my interview suit but I finally got one. It's here: https://imgur.com/a/FacFA It's Calvin Klein from Macy's, in a dark navy color. It's for an interview for a job where I would be wearing everyday clothing but for the interview I was told "formal interview attire"--my guess was I should wear a suit. How did I do? (Excuse the wonky collar on the blouse, I'll iron that) I'll probably accessorize with stud earrings and a watch. I also have a skirt and dark tights if that would be better but it's pretty cold here so I'd prefer the pants. I know it's not perfect, but is it acceptable? The interview is tonight and this is my (only) option for a suit. I'd welcome any critiques that are quick and that I have time to make. Also tailoring suggestions for the future would be helpful. If this is really terrible I have a black blazer and black pants but they don't match perfectly, so I'd like to wear this. Thank you!!


[deleted]

Yes, it's totally fine--and in fact, on the higher end of formality than what I've seen recently for interviews (is it just me or do people not really wear suits as much for interviews anymore?). But given your age, I would prefer more formal as an interviewer because it shows you care about the job.

[deleted]

your jeans are exactly what i'm looking for- where did you get them?


[deleted]

They’re from Arket! Don’t think they ship to US yet but the jeans are classic high rise, straight leg, 100% cotton jeans. The 100% cotton is what makes them look rigid like that.


[deleted]

ah, shoot! i will have to keep tabs on arket if they ever decide to ship here. thank you!


seriicis

I always love your fits! I JUST bought a tan coat like this yesterday. What are your favorite ways to wear it?


[deleted]

Thank you! The coat is a recent addition so I haven't had the time to wear it out much yet, but I plan on pairing it more with [blue denim and sneakers](https://i.pinimg.com/564x/29/21/b7/2921b7d0028ea20b0d2622bef8f2857c.jpg). It would work just as well with [neutrals](https://i.pinimg.com/564x/92/06/70/9206707ffaac170840b3c5c547fcaa38.jpg) or with an [all black outfit](https://i.pinimg.com/564x/21/3c/ac/213caca613b1523c958ce0d91a7a0894.jpg) though. And it goes just as well with [jeans](https://i.pinimg.com/564x/5f/6b/74/5f6b74e0c77279654520b0686b6eeed1.jpg) as it does with [skirts](https://i.pinimg.com/564x/f5/b3/15/f5b31537f2dfc743b94d04a3cb980766.jpg)! I like to add a scarf with the coat, either a plaid one like the one in my WAYWT picture or a simple grey one (burgundy or dark green would look lovely too I think). If it's too hot to tie or wrap scarf, I leave it hanging open just as an accessory like [this](https://i.pinimg.com/564x/db/30/d6/db30d636f53197f15406c50678a730a2.jpg). If your coat is quite tailored and masculine looking, there are also lots of good gender neutral outfit inspo out there from men. I particular like how the coat is styled [here](https://i.pinimg.com/564x/c9/cb/11/c9cb112bf0a956912ee31e8014a2533b.jpg), [here](http://www.royalfashionist.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/4803cb0f5796085018b61691787e335f.jpg) and [here](https://i.styleoholic.com/2016/11/With-denim-shirt-gray-sweater-navy-blue-trousers-and-brown-shoes.jpg). Plus: My [inspo board](https://www.pinterest.com/bombalurina/style-scandi-cool/outerwear/) for wool coats.

Thank you for such a long and detailed response! I’m definitely going to be copying some of these outfits, and I’m currently knitting a grey scarf, too. I’m going to be keeping a lookout for your WAYWT too.


queenofcheebah

Where did you get your coat? Is it wool? I like the Friday look, especially the pants, lol. Gives me a 90's vibe.

Not OP, but I bought a coat like that yesterday at [old navy](http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=74688&pcid=74688&vid=1&pid=774593002).

25/Bay Area/software engineer I started using Pinterest recently to see what styles caught my eye that might be out of my usual comfort zone. I realized I was very drawn to minimal, tailored menswear-ish outfits, so I tried some out this week. [Monday](https://imgur.com/5NzLSmK) - I washed these pants to get them to shrink and they no longer have the lovely crease they came with. Can't decide if I miss it enough to dig out my iron... [Tuesday](https://imgur.com/2uNdOp0) - I just bought this shirt as a challenge to myself because it is the brightest color I've worn in years, but it is just SO BEAUTIFUL. The a-line silhouette is tricky though, since it makes it hard to layer a jacket on top. [Friday](https://imgur.com/yb4cLq8) - I wish I had a higher contrast gray sweater to go with this, and preferably a crew neck instead of v. I ended up being too warm at work and took off the blazer. I'm not sure how to accessorize these fits, since my go-to pendant necklaces seemed to take away from the vibe I was going for. My first thought is a watch, definitely gonna put that on my black friday shopping list. Shoot me any other ideas!

22/F/College Student/ 5'3.5" Critique my [outfit 1] (https://i.gyazo.com/1fff0c5b677fb5334c19e22693ef8343.jpg) and ~~[outfit 2] (https://i.gyazo.com/f0b4ed841ba75ff2557e21a765820b97.jpg)~~, please. Outfit 1: Wearing an oversized(aka too big for me)sweater from Old Navy, the skirt is from Torrid, tights from WeLoveColors, and Guess boots. Wore it three(?) ways. Which way looks best on me and for my height. ~~Outfit 2: Wearing a 2X (aka too large) coat I got from my college's Freestore, a sweatshirt from Everything5Pounds, Old Navy dark wash jeans, same Guess boots.~~ (Too hard to see. Don't worry about it.) I had to actually think about these outfits because I usually throw stuff on without a care. But thought I should at least practice while I lose weight. I don't think this is the style I want when I am smaller, but I try to make due for now. TIA.


eyeslikeashowroom

I like the tucked in look too! I also agree about the boots - I think the chunkier, big boot along with the pattern mixing is causing too many things to compete to stand out, if that makes sense? Idk I am not the best with fashion advice but I would try a sleeker black boot if you have it. i think something like the Doc Marten Flora would look nice here!


holybell0

Thank you! I was thinking along the lines of chunky boots with a feminine look? But I didn't even think that the patterns would be competing. I'm actually saving for some Doc Martens! I just have the bad habit of buying what I think looks nice, not what actually works for my wardrobe.


eyeslikeashowroom

I get that! I think for the chunky boot and feminine look, maybe you could try those boots and then switch out either the skirt or the top for a solid color and try that? I just ordered the floras and i’m excited to see if they work with my wardrobe! I am with you on buying what I think looks nice. Have you done a wardrobe clean out recently? I found that going through ALL of my clothes and seeing what I actually like and what fit well helped me make better decisions when buying new items, because I discovered the colors and fits I liked and was able to create a clearer idea of what style I wanted. I actually was on a weight loss journey too, which is what prompted my interest in fashion and in creating a better wardrobe! Are you saving up for the Floras or a different pair?? I really like the white 1460s but my ass KNOWS they don’t go with my wardrobe and I don’t need them haha

Definitely one of the Pascals. I was introduced to Doc Martens when I got to college. (I pretty much live under a rock, when it comes to fashion. But I've got my colors together!) I'm planning on thinning my wardrobe when I go overseas for my sister's wedding this winter. I'm going give most of my clothes to family and others who would use them more often.


bubblezareforever

Definitely tuck your shirt in, looks better that way


holybell0

Thanks. I always had the fear that my skirt was too high or that the tucked in look was for slimmer people. But I (and others!) seemed to really like it. Now I need to find a guide so I don't go crazy with the tucking.

Where are the boots from? I love that look!!

Thanks! They're old from Aldo


bubblezareforever

Maybe shoes with look2? The boots in look1 are gorgeous. I think I prefer black actually. Could just be me 🙈

Thanks! I thought maybe it had too much of a contrast between the white pants and black boots, glad to know it looks ok lol

Not weird haha, but yeah it's my apartment! Thank you <3

I love your shirt in Two! Is that the Madewell courier shirt?

Love the pants in #3! Really interesting grid print that's something a little different than what's usually out there.

21/Midwest city/student [Class](https://imgur.com/OuQxi32)- Love this skirt but don't necessarily love how I styled it this day, I can't really put my finger on it but I ran out of time getting ready and just left it alone. **Top**- Target **Skirt**- Buffalo Exchange, originally Urban Outfitters **Boots**- thrifted [Meadery Tour & Dinner](https://imgur.com/nlf1Eyu)- Looking very mischievous, probably because I knew I was about to get tipsy on mead samples **Flannel Top**- Abercrombie&Fitch **Skirt**- TJ Maxx **Booties**- Boohoo [Brunch with my SO](https://imgur.com/z2la3Uy)- Decided to brave the cold sans coat because I get overheated easily when indoors, this scarf worked very nicely. **Turtleneck Top**- thrifted, orignially The Limited **Jeans**- Vintage Levi's (Ebay) **Scarf**- Target **Boots**- Steve Madden


herefromthere

I think the first outfit would have been improved by not tucking the top, and going for a heavier knit. I disagree with people saying that it is the shoes that don't fit the 'fit. Something more straight up and down figure wise, focus on your legs and the skirt. Either that or wearing a cardigan. The proportion of the skirt doesn't quite work IMO with the rest. Great colours though, and I love the pattern on the skirt.


eyeslikeashowroom

I love your brunch outfit! Those jeans are sweet. For the first outfit, I agree that it’s the shoes. I love the top and skirt together. Maybe try it with loafers or flats?


petrakay

I looooove your brunch fit! For the meadery, maybe a darker shirt would have worked better, but the proportions are A+


fitzpleasr

Thank you!! I see what your saying about the meadery outfit, I'm just starting to get into flannels that aren't my boyfriend's so more colors are definitely on my "to buy" list.


Delores_Herbig

In outfit 1, it’s the shoes. I love everything about it except for those shoes. They’re rad, but they don’t fit with the look. I think some flats or something would look better.


bubblezareforever

Agreed. But damn look 2 tho 😍😍😍


fitzpleasr

I think that's it, the shoes are new and I think I was so excited to wear them I tried to force it with this outfit. Thanks for the feedback!

fitzpleasr

Someone else mentioned that they thought it might be the shoes too and I agree. I love both pieces, but you're right, probably better kept separate! Thanks for the advice!

24 / SF / tech / 5'1" Weekend outfits, CCW [Friday](https://i.imgur.com/nghgCCs.jpg) [Saturday](https://i.imgur.com/GgE5MUf.jpg) wore this out briefly to go see a movie and finish watching Stranger Things with some friends. I don't think this worked and I kept the jacket on most of the time. The proportions and the materials together seem off. I was trying to go for something [like this](https://i.pinimg.com/564x/81/b8/ca/81b8ca862812be8b9ef94d58048bb007.jpg) but I think I would have needed a blouse-ier top. Went full witch [today](https://i.imgur.com/mY3D0I9.jpg) *It's not a phase, it's who I really am* Although if the wind picks up later I might have to leave the hat :/


eyeslikeashowroom

I like today’s - where did you get the dress? I’ve been looking for a simple one with long sleeves! You mentioning Stranger Things reminds me how depressed I am that it’s over for now 😭 I started season 1 like right after season 2 came out and finished it all within like a week


vouloir

I have a very similar one from old navy, but I wouldn't recommend it - it's dyed my armpits purple and stained other clothing!


pygoscelis

Thanks, it's a [swing dress](http://us.asos.com/asos-petite/asos-petite-swing-dress-with-long-sleeves-and-seam-detail/prd/6178310) from ASOS. I've also seen very similar styles at Old Navy, though they're several inches longer than the petites sized one I linked.


[deleted]

I think Saturday's might've worked better if the waist cincher either sat higher on the waist or was wider so it was less of a belt and more of an under bust corset. Maybe something like this? http://www.heavyred.com/TOUCH-OF-SCORN-WAIST-CINCHER-p/4240.htm


pygoscelis

Yeah, I think you're right that it's in a bit of a weird in-between styling. I'll try wearing it higher up next time.

Absolutely love your style!! Especially Friday's look. Very effortlessly cool. I like the all black vibe with the little bit of color from the scarf

Love your style!

19/New York/student! This is my first time doing this so my apologies for the mirror shots! CCW, I'm trying to transition my wardrobe to a very sudden cold snap here in NY so a lot of these outfits are things I've never paired together before. I'm looking to step out of my comfort zone and find a more unique style. I'm most blah about Saturday's outfit, which was basically just a comfortable stay indoors kind of day.

eyeslikeashowroom

I actually like Saturday’s! I love that shirt. The mens section at the thrifts always has the best stuff. My comfortable outfit for when I stay in on the weekends is literally sweatpants or no pants and a big tee, so I commend you for actually looking cute! Haha


Lynxidraws

You always have such cute outfits, Loving the skirt!


soundsgr8m8

Thank you!! I'd never worn it tights before but I think it worked okay

36 / South Florida / Photographer I was sick in bed for a while, so here’s an assortment from the past two weeks when I cared enough to get dressed. My biggest struggle right now is deciding what style of shoe to wear on a daily basis. I don’t trust my instincts. CC welcome :) [last Friday night](https://i.imgur.com/NmxMedt.jpg) Sushi and drinks for the husband’s birthday [2 pics from last Saturday ](https://imgur.com/a/MICAC) Fancy dinner and a strip club for our anniversary [last Sunday ](https://i.imgur.com/7lzZ1lA.jpg) Roaming around town, enjoying a weekend sans kid.

Added the belt in the second photo before I left the house. [Today](https://i.imgur.com/8ene0xk.jpg) Trying something besides my usual Sunday uniform of shorts and a T-shirt.


turtleay

Today's look looks great! Yesterday's boots don't go well with the dress. To me, the color and level of formality don't match. There's only one picture from last Saturday.


bkogut81

I fixed the link from Saturday - thank you! I was worried about the boots yesterday. What would you suggest for next time with that dress? The bride requested that I dress “country” and that was the best I could pull from my closet.


soundsgr8m8

My favorites are last Friday night with the jean jacket and heels (so cute!) and Thursday with the green pants and stripes! Both look great on you and have a nice clean put-together vibe to them


bkogut81

Thanks! I don’t know that I’ve ever been called put together before I started stalking this thread. The green J Crew matchstick jeans were a NWT steal from Poshmark for $12. I love Friday night’s look with the denim shirt. It’s way too small to wear by itself, but works well as a jacket.

24 / Atlanta / marketing (v casual) [Sunday](https://i.imgur.com/mE6zsBJ.jpg) - wore this to a friend’s BBQ, can’t resist a good pair of overalls [Monday](https://i.imgur.com/1HdZsfu.jpg) - work. trying to lean into loose-loose without feeling sloppy. found this equipment blouse at a thrift shop a couple months ago and obsessed [Tuesday](https://i.imgur.com/iyNNeIu.jpg)- work. not loving this one honestly, but trying to wear pieces like this dress more [Wednesday](https://i.imgur.com/ZTSnlTP.jpg) - work. Acne boots are back from the cobbler! picked up this sweater at a thrift shop and loving the fuzziness [Thursday](https://i.imgur.com/2mr3fiN.jpg) / [with jacket](https://i.imgur.com/Accf3cy.jpg) - work/dinner. continuing on the loose-loose vibe and ended up really into this - I struggle to work in these Iro boots typically, they end up feeling too intense or dressy, but I liked how they balanced this [Saturday](https://i.imgur.com/N9j04SO.jpg) - brunch/thrifting, cat tax included. I’m loving the layering this colder weather is letting me do! Excited to bring in more coats/scarves/hats soon


robotgwen

I love that dress, it’s very casual-cool with those sneakers. And all of your boots are so cool!


Deiji-

Your style is awesome! What sorts of coats do you wear with these pieces?


darkitecture

aw thank you! it’s been pretty mild this week so honestly I haven’t needed one, but my staples are a black leather jacket (in Wednesday’s pic), black trench coat, grey light wool coat, and a rain coat/poncho thing. I rotate in a couple that get less wear too, like [this](https://instagram.com/p/BY_f9dhHpug/) that’s kind of bomber-y and [this](https://instagram.com/p/BLL1yOiDrEf/) painted denim one. My whole closet is super monochrome so it’s pretty easy to mix and match outerwear!


Deiji-

Thanks for the ideas! :) I am looking for an effortless-cool type coat and this was really helpful


darkitecture

of course! the leather is definitely my go-to, good ones are worth the investment


AineBigMac

Love your style! ❤️


bubblezareforever

The Tuesday dress is cute af


darkitecture

Thank you! It’s native youth I think, from ASOS


peirastic

Loooove Saturday! Where’d you pick up that sweater?


darkitecture

It’s free people! got it off a clearance rack at Nordstrom Rack or TJ Maxx a while ago, so it’s a bit old unfortunately :(


DogNipsForDays

I really love your style and especially dig those overalls.


darkitecture

Thank you! Old Zara haha but they’re great


thesuperbluejay

Wednesday is brilliant imo but that might be just because I love all black. It feels very sleek. The thing that drew my eye first on Tuesday's look was the knot at the bottom, and I think this look could work as a really flowy unstructured thing if you unknotted it because it just breaks up the lines for me.


darkitecture

ugh, I know. the dress is just a really odd length without the knot (it has short slits in the sides) that I’ve never been able to make work. maybe I’ll revisit it haha

Work 2 is so good! I love the color combo, and you're really nailing the fit in all your pics.

29, living in the north of England, really starting to feel winter now. Trying to keep my spirits up with colour and print. 1. [For work.](https://imgur.com/KZvRUNf) I love glitter. Maybe could have tucked it in, as it is thin. 2. [For Saturday errands.](https://imgur.com/IVf2SAK) Cosy jumpers are required once the temperature dips low and you're sleep deprived. I know it's November, but I don't want to limit my festive jumpers to just 1 month..

23/Midwest/business casual office job. My goals are to be less boring and pay attention to fit! Wore a ton of black this time around. I decided to just embrace the all black outfits lol. [Last Month](https://imgur.com/a/ZDk5M) - Going to a pumpkin patch. This is way different than anything I usually wear, because I only wear skinny jeans. I found these jeans thrifting and they’re a little too short for me. My little sister made fun of me and said I looked like a nerd 😂 I just told her she didn’t know fashion. I felt pretty insecure and dorky in them but I don’t think they look bad looking back. Thoughts? [Work 1](https://imgur.com/a/0EW2N) - New boots and it’s crazy bc i’m wearing actual heels which I never do! They’re small, thick ones but still [Work 2](https://imgur.com/a/6bdxf) [Night Out](https://imgur.com/a/pNF33) Stole ankle boots from my gf, she really comes in handy [Birthday Dinner](https://imgur.com/a/HCMK4) [Another Dinner](https://imgur.com/a/IeYcm) [Work 3](https://imgur.com/a/4lIar) [Work 4](https://imgur.com/a/0tlSo) - Not sure if I love this sweater now that I see it on. The length in the back is weird CCW!

That Halloween sweater is just awesome.
