Let’s take a trip down memory lane and go back to January 2015.
What was I wearing six years ago? And is it still relevant today?
Would I Still Wear That explores these questions. Let’s dive in.
The Layers
I still love this look. While my hats have transitioned to strong brims instead of floppy, the rest of the outfit tracks. White jeans are becoming a winter staple as much as a springtime must. I’ll admit I rarely wear mine, but I appreciate their appeal in a well-rounded closet.
The boots are Bottega Veneta. It’s so interesting to me to see what Thomas Maier was doing for Bottega 6 years ago versus what Daniel Lee is doing now. I got them on sale and they ended up being a tad small (and REALLY high) so I sold them. But boy were they fun.
This post was originally about layering. See my style tips for how to layer like a pro.
The Mop
This vest bore a tradition. You can read about it here.
I still wear every piece of this look… minus the vest. That’s not to say I don’t still love its ridiculous nature. But it was a Zara find and my Zara days are over.
Velvet burnout Jimmy Choo’s, black jeans and a silk button-down? I’d call those closet staples.
The Alien Boots
This was one of my favorite shoots. Not only did I love my outfit, but it was the perfect example of having one thing in mind and then going in the complete opposite direction. You can read more about it here.
I still own this entire look. I wear the jacket often. The skirt and the shoes, not as much.
When I first saw these boots and handed them to the Nordstrom associate to ask for my size he said, “it takes a special person to appreciate these boots.”
Clearly it was a sign.
