I’m a Fashion Editor and Here’s Everything I Wore This Week

Like many, I tend to spend most of fall and winter wearing nothing but jeans and cozy sweaters. But I was getting really sick of my denim lately, so decided to break out these checked Everlane trousers and see if I can style them in just as many ways as my trusty straight-leg jeans. A simple black sweater is never a wrong choice, plus it allowed me to have some fun playing with more colorful accessories, like these colorblocked New Balance kicks and a purple-and-pink Strathberry bag I bought secondhand on The RealReal. Add to that some funky jewelry and a demure gray wool coat, and I think this is an outfit I’d happy repeat through the rest of winter.

In another effort to break out of my habit of simply slipping in some jeans and a sweater and calling it a day I decided to try…different denim? I recently acquired this adorable duo from Levi’s of a coordinating maxi skirt and cinched denim jacket, and while they weren’t necessarily intended to be worn as a set, I really love how both pieces play with volume in a way that feels dramatic without being too over the top. I was also elated when, on my commute to the office, a random woman on the subway complimented my outfit.

Some days, you just have to return to the basics. I had a lot to get done this day, so didn’t really have time to play around with interesting colors or silhouettes. This Aritzia wool cardigan is supremely comfy, but the collar adds some interest to make the whole thing feel a smidge more elevated. And while I would normally have just slipped into some retro sneakers, I’m glad I swapped in these Loeffler Randall tight-print boots instead. The color is just so good with that mini Longchamp bag and made me feel a little more fun.

I’ve been rewatching the show Sex Lives of College Girls on Max lately, and while I definitely want to copy some of the looks featured on the four leading ladies, this time around it was a different character’s look that felt most inspiring to me. Evangeline, played by Sierra Katow, is a cool older student and comedy writer with Bela with a signature style that consists of lots of Peter Pan collar sweaters, hair bows and preppy silhouettes that somehow don’t feel overly prim. So I decided to channel my inner Evangeline with a polo collar sweater, pleated midi skirt and pearl earrings. Of course, I forgot it was peak February, so after I got back home from my morning appointments I rapidly changed into sweatpants. But I also added a hair bow, so there.

I finally got around to starting the Hulu docuseries In Vogue; The ‘90s recently, and while there is a lot to say about the revelations of that series, one thing that really stood out to me was the fact that so many of the big industry names interviewed clearly stick to a uniform of sorts. This is my attempt at an homage to Tonne Goodman, a long-time Vogue fashion editor who seems somewhat obsessed with neck scarves. Her “uniform” appears to consist of tailored trousers, button-up shirts layered over another top and a silk scarf tied artfully around her neck. It was fun trying to copy such an icon’s sense of style, and although I’m not quite sure I nailed it, it was a good experiment in mixing things up.

 While reviewing the adorable Strathberry bag pictured here, I spent a lot of time scrolling through the brand’s Instagram to see how they style their models to complement their designs. This is my attempt at recreating an outfit from Strathberry’s collaboration with Shrimps back in September 2024, a campaign I adored. I am a big fan of straight up copying outfits I see that make my heart sing. It’s a great way to shop your own closet and potentially find new combinations you might not have otherwise come up with on your own. It’s also a phenomenal way to learn how to break down the elements of an outfit, paying attention to things like proportions, fabric and fit in addition to the more obvious things like silhouette or color.

Introducing my new go-to winter outfit! Whenever I wake up and don’t know what to wear, this is the exact outfit I reach for. I spend ages hunting down the perfect red sweater vest after seeing one styled in look I loved on Pinterest and finally found this beauty at Boden. The color is bold, beautiful and right on trend, and I know I’ll find tons of ways to style it for spring as well. It’s really the accessories here that make me feel put together—wavy hoops from Missoma, a chunky heart necklace from Jenny Bird, a gold buckle belt from Aritzia and ample bag charms to zhuzh up my Madewell work tote. This is my version of lazy chic, and a look my friends and family are bound to see hundreds more times this year.
