Fast-Fashion Friday





Skulls!!!






 
blazer/necklace-Forever 21(similar here and here), shirt-Zara(similar here), pants-H&M(similar here), heels-Victoria's Secret(similar here)
 
This is a was my outfit for work last Friday. All of these garments are from fast-fashion retailers.  By its very nature, "fast-fashion" is up-to-the-moment trends from the designer runways manufactured quickly and cheaply for everyday consumers to acquire at lower prices. And, the quality of these products are such that they are meant to be worn only a few times as the trends go out of style.  Well... all of these pieces I've had for 1+ years, and while drop-crotch harem pants aren't the latest silhouette, this outfit overall is modern and chic. Fast-fashion doesn't have to be thrown out/donated after one season. You can get some outstanding pieces, as well as classic basics that will last. I'm not saying Forever 21, or H&M will meet all of your wardrobe needs and sometimes the quality can be crap, BUT trendy items today can still be incorporated into outfits for the future.  
 
This outfit coincidentally, matched up with my daily Style Up outfit inspiration:
 
from Fash n' Chips
 
I saw this picture last Friday morning and almost did a double between myself and the computer screen.  It's a pretty on the nose style match, if I do say so myself.

40 Year Old Cottagecore

  dress-Anthropologie(more options here ), sunnies- DIFF Eyewear , necklace- Benevolence LA , bag-- Shiraleah , sandals- Born I first became aware of Cottagecore earlier this summer and found it to be an aesthetic I can appreciate and find aspirational , but was not necessarily a style that aligned with my wheelhouse. Well as I've been growing my hair during covid quarantine and having picked up this dress as seen here , I felt that I was ready to tackle #cottagecore here on my 40th birthday!!! Yep, that's right today I turn 40 (but I don't look it). And while it's been a year like no other, I feel excited for my next year, decade, chapter of my life. I think it's fair to say I'm done having babies and ready to move on from the chaos of very little children to the chaos of big kids.  I no longer feel like I have something to proof in my work, writing, sense of self. I'm just going to enjoy and be grateful for the many blessings of family, friends, health, a...

Two Things

First: Isabel Marant's collocation for H&M debuts today in select stores AND online at noon, so you may want to get up on that.  Here are a few looks I'm lusting after. Hello mixed patterns!   Love the oversized coat and the detail on these jeans.   Patterned blazer, cropped colorful trousers, yes please!   Of course, I cannot partake in this collection with my Year Of No Shopping, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't. So get ready to go by noon because I'm sure this noise will sell out fast.   Number Two: I'm thinking about a new haircut.  Something along the lines of Tilda Swinton .     What do we think? I'm not going to go blond, but I like the shorter/buzzed sides and back with length on the top. Mr. Keller is hesitant, he thinks it's too masculine, but I'm kind of in the mood to go a bit edgy and I've had the same cut now for two-ish years...  FYI: Tilda Swinton is my spirit animal!   ...

Rent the Runway Wedding Vote

I may be on vacation at the moment, but I'm thinking of the future, in particular the wedding I'm attending back home next month. A ton of high school friends will be there. Some I am dying to hang out with, while others I'm hoping to make a bit jelly... Regardless, an outfit is required. I mentioned the idea of wearing a summer suit in this post . But now I'm feeling more of killer-blow-them-away dress.   I'm also thinking I may have to call in the big guns and utilize the services of Rent the Runway .  1.   Elie Tahari   Love the pattern here. The user reviews & pics lead me to believe this will be quite flattering on my body type.     2.   Kate Spade   This is so groovy and I love the use of a statement necklace in this look. But, I'm wondering if I'm not attracted to the overall styling of the picture for the website or if I really like the dress on its on.     3.  Milly ...
