Can you believe we only have to wait four more days until Daylight Savings ends? I live for sun, Iām a better person with her around. When I open the weather app, my eyes narrow into a mean little squint when I see the gray cloud and blue rain drop icons. I want nothing more than to drink a cold latte with one giant ice cube in a slip dress and straw hat with a brim that covers my eyes so I am just two dark nostril holes and some lips. Dot dot line.
I am uniform dressing my way through the dog days of winter. I already wrote about my default jean + boot combo, so you could think of this as the torso version: how I layer a basic t-shirt.
A few things I learned:
I love a crewneck cotton sweatshirt with some random fake french aesthetic shit like a pair of lips or āautumn of loveā plastered in a fake retro font. Itās campy and makes me feel like Iām in college.
I love a good blue and white stripe.
I love primary colors and their primary-ish relatives (rusty red with muddy yellowādirtied in the same way).
I love how the ring of a t-shirt looks under the slightly larger ring of the sweater neckline.
Here are my six combos. They all start with a good t-shirt and rely on the visual pow pow punch of highly saturated primary colors. All items are linked, including a rare secondhand Miu Miu SS2000 piece I toiled to source last year. Secondhand matches are hard to find!!
