Everyday outfits for Autumn

After editing and rebuilding my wardrobe from almost scratch last Spring, I felt content with everything I had included and clarity about the items I was still looking for. My sudden move has affected my clothing needs since I went from living in a city to a rural community in Northern California. I have worn some of my dressier garments here, but I balance out with more casual shoes — which I have very little of. I’m gravitating towards jackets over long coats because (1) all my coats are very special, and I worry about staining them, and (2) coats add a dramatic element to already dressier clothes.

Mekdela and I have been sharing our clothes. Her jacket collection inspired me, and I have been hunting for more jackets to add to our shared collection. I am also hunting down more barrel-leg jeans like the ones below, boots, and casual shoes. In the meantime, I have created and recreated some outfits for you. Some of them have been previously worn, and the rest are outfits I would wear somewhere else.

1.

Vintage shearling jacket, thrifted vintage sweatshirt, thrifted vintage Levi’s 569, Martiniano glove shoes.

2.

One of my favorites. I have been thrifting a lot since moving here. On my first shopping trip, I thrifted the jeans above, and on my last trip, I found this sweatshirt in this perfect green color. The skirt is a vintage Kritzia silk skirt I bought from Jenna in France in July. Men’s button-down shirt, Flore Flore white tank, and Miu Miu boots.
