Here’s a roundup of the outfits I’ve been rocking over the past couple of months—plus the reasons they’ve become my favorites. As I scroll back through these snaps, one thing jumps out immediately: pants are the unsung hero of my recent wardrobe. Whether it’s classic denim, flowy drapey trousers that move with me, or structured styles that add polish, bottoms have been my go-to styling anchor lately.
Layered up in my Vince sweater, Facade Pattern trousers, and a trusty old MUJI Labo coat, finished with Mollini cheetah-print flats and my Saben Tilly’s Big Sis bag.
This was my go-to low-key late winter look for a workday that doubled as a sneak peek of Saben’s new S/S collection (naturally, I had to wear one of my all-time favorite pieces from the brand!). My current styling hack? Keep the outfit simple and let a fun accessory do the heavy lifting—whether it’s a bold pop of color or, in this case, playful animal print texture that adds just the right amount of personality.
I built the look around a head-to-toe neutral base, stacked navy essentials for depth, and let the Oroton bag add a warm pop of contrast. These MOTHER jeans have been an absolute workhorse in my wardrobe this year—I’m this close to ordering a second pair in a different color… though I know better: when you own multiples of a piece, you always circle back to the one you love most.
And then there are the boots. I’ve been on the fence about them forever: on paper, they’re everything I adore, but that rounded cap toe paired with the creamy hue feels a little too 60s for my personal style. That said? The leather is ultra-soft, and they’re one of the few shoes in my closet that deliver unbeatable comfort—so they stick around, even with my minor reservations.
What I adore about this styling approach is how it works like a blank canvas: you can instantly refresh the look with just a few finishing touches. I’ve worn this core combo in subtle variations time and time again, and I’m even more excited to reach for it now that I’ve had the Marle trousers tailored to the perfect length .
This short trench has been on nonstop rotation since I splurged on it at the start of winter. I’d obsessed over it for months: tried it on, hemmed and hawed for another 30 days, then finally pulled the trigger—and it’s proven to be one of my smartest wardrobe buys yet. This is the wishlist-and-wait method in action: it doesn’t always pay off, but it’s saved me from countless regretful purchases over the years.
These H&M jeans are such a standout affordable pick (total win for budget-friendly style!). I let the tote do the heavy lifting here, with its rich pomegranate hue adding maximum pop to the neutral base—it instantly elevates the whole look. Funny enough, if memory serves, I wore this on a particularly rainy day—talk about perfect timing for a bright, mood-boosting accessory!
This ANNA QUAN style is such a stunner, thanks to its waist-cinching detail (it’s so flattering, even if it’s not fully visible here!). I paired it with a taupe crossbody that instantly draws the eye, and lately I’ve been obsessed with playing with scale in my outfits—it’s a genius way to add balance and visual interest to any look.
