I don’t know who decided that jean shorts are such a great summer style staple, but I would like to file a complaint. They aren’t really that comfortable, especially when you’re sweaty. Granted I’ve had this pair for a few years and by booty is bigger now (thanks, squats), but still, I don’t remember them ever being that great. A year and a half of working from home has really made me notice what I do and don’t enjoy wearing, and it turns out I don’t enjoy wearing a sweaty denim chastity belt.

I think I’m ready to take these to a secondhand shop and let someone else wear them…someone who hasn’t seen the light yet.

Leather Blazer

When: April 18, 2021 // Weather: 60s // Real life: used book shopping and dinner on a patio

I loved this outfit so much it made me want to rid my closet of everything but striped tees, jeans, and blazers. We all know I won’t do that, but it’s fun to dream.

I ordered this faux leather blazer on Poshmark and I took a bit of risk because who really knows if fast fashion faux leather is going to look like leather, or like plastic that melted when you accidentally left it in front of the heater. I was very pleasantly surprised at the quality, and I already have a million ideas on how to style this blazer in the fall.

One of the best things I did with my extra “quarantine time” was download the Stylebook app and upload images of my entire closet. Now, when I have an idea of how I want to style something, I can create a “look” and save it for later so I don’t forget. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to Netflix and chill, but by “chill” I mean “make outfit collages on Stylebook.”
