I got a shipment from Target over the weekend with all of my Peter Pilotto goodies. Interestingly, these pants were not the thing I was most excited about when ordering but definitely my favorite after trying on. This entire collection is perfect for me as someone who is shy about patterns. Its a good starter to bringing prints into the wardrobe and there are enough pieces that I can get several matchy outfits.
These pants are a very lightweight, stretchy poly blend that wears like a crepe. You wouldn’t think that they would be as flattering as they are, but they are a smooth and crisp wear. I got so many compliments on them at the office. Two of my coworkers had to have them and ordered their own after seeing me in them! Thats how good they are.
I wasn’t sure how to accessorize with patterns so I figured why not just go big on all fronts. I added a large bib necklace and chunky link bracelet, both in a yellow gold. I also decided to go very ladylike with the shoes since the sweatshirt is quite casual.
And I topped my lips with my latest obsession - Hello Sailor from Lipstick Queen. It gives your lips the most sheer violet tint. So I thought it would be perfect with the sea green in the sweatshirt.
I got this great indigo shirt a few weeks ago and have been struggling with how to make an outfit of it. I’m a big fan of the texas tuxedo and working that into an overall monochromatic look. Sometimes I’ll pair a chambray shirt with a navy sweater and throw that over jeans. So I decided to take the same approach and just replace my chambray shirt with the indigo top.
I threw some brighter blue shoes from J Crew Collection on. Then added a few yellow gold accessories. I wear the collar necklace tucked inside the shirt in this look rather than outside. I love this particular one with the texas tuxedo because it sort of resembles a bandana.
I have a full day at the office today followed by a business dinner at Quince, a Michelin-starred restaurant. I wanted to wear something comfortable for a full day of work but nice enough to belong in a fine dining establishment.
So I went with a stretchy jersey base layer in a combo dress. My particular dress is a few years old and is from Club Monaco, but it is very similar to the one pictured above. What’s nice about both mine and the one above is that the cotton in the blouse is polished, so it looks like a stretch silk knit.
Then I added some warm-neutral textures and a little bit of shine with my accessories. By the way, I’m loving my big 3.1 Phillip Lim bag lately! At first I thought it was too structured for my style, but leaving the gussets on the sides open makes it feel a little slouchier and more everyday.
I’ve been shopping hard for some wide-leg trousers over the past several weeks. I always like to work out at least three different outfits that I could make out of a new item before adding it to my closet. This is a look that is inspired by the silhouettes of athletic wear and bright 80’s colors and patterns.
