Jammin

I added a new uniform into rotation a few weeks back: long, baggy shorts with a fitted tee. It’s been perfect on the weekends here in San Francisco, where we are still enjoying sunny days in the low 70’s. I also really like this look because I feel like 90’s-style sporty is having a bit of a revival at the moment and long shorts, almost like basketball shorts, fit perfectly into that throwback. Check out some of the recent DKNY and Alexander Wang collections to see what I mean.

This pair from Harput’s is a lightweight crepe, which I can make work year round in the Bay Area. On warmer days, I wear them over a mini tank-dress and on cooler nights I wear them over leggings with a boxy sweater on top.

The weather here in San Francisco should be nice and sunny all week, but I can’t resist pulling out the sweaters. Keeping it light with this jersey skirt from BellaLuxx, then paired with my creeper wedges.

Custom

I had this dress made by my friends at Harput’s about 6 months ago. It was really so much fun to see them go through the custom process and I’m really looking forward to getting a few new items from them for Fall. 

The idea for this dress came from me trying on one of Harput’s fantastic full-length trench jackets. I fell in love with the jacket, but I don’t really get much use out of outerwear here in the Bay Area. Gus and I both thought that a trench inspired dress would be so wearable, plus I needed to add more conservative options to my work wardrobe for my occasional trips to Tokyo.

The dress is a simple shirtdress, but I think the level of finish makes it much more of a workhorse for me than any of my other similar options. For example, the fact that the front doesn’t have any enclosures (like a wrap skirt to get blown in the wind or button plackets to gape when you are sitting) makes it so much more comfortable. Plus, the benefit of having something custom made for your body cannot be discounted, no matter how simple the piece.

There are a lot of great details to this dress that are not coming through in these images, so I’m planning a post to highlight the construction.

Feeling super 80’s vibes in this awesome Rachel Comey dress. I splurged on it earlier this month and I’m pretty sure I got the very last one they had.

By the way, all that shoulder is natural – no shoulder pads. This silhouette was made for me and my linebacker body.
