Style // Blue Mood

I’ve managed to amass quite the collection of leather (and pleather) pencil skirts, oversized oxford shirts, and pointy-toe flats, so it made perfect sense to wear them all together. It just feels very me, you know? Wearing a Zara vegan leather skirt, Banana Republic men’s oxford shirt, Boden flats, and DIY rhinestone cluster earrings.

Worn with a men’s button down (I cut it into a crop top because…why not?) and shiny silver brogues, I definitely felt more rebellious, cause notwithstanding....

There are times when I feel less “structured Zara” and more “flowy Free People.” On those days, it feels best to mix dressy vintage with random casual wear like this surprisingly cohesive beaded skirt and graphic tee combo. Anthropologie tee, vintage skirt, bag from the BX, Charlotte Russe sandals, random jewelry I’ve had for years, old prescription glasses I had tinted Sidenote: I always forget I have this belt, which I bought at one of...
