Happy Monday, friends! If you’re new here, Mondays are when I share a roundup of five outfits I styled over the past week. I always love seeing how other women put together their outfits—it’s so inspiring—so I thought I’d share my own to spark some styling ideas for you. I don’t have it all figured out, but that’s part of the fun!
In each post, I’ll break down each look, highlight why certain pieces work well together, and share tips for making swaps to suit your personal style. Expect a mix of casual, laid-back outfits and more polished looks—something for every mood and occasion. Most items are closet staples, but when something is current (or I find a similar option), I’ll link it for you. I hope this gives you a few new ideas for your own wardrobe and helps add a fresh twist to your weekly outfits!
Day 1
cashmere Paris sweater, similar, now 30% off, here | track pants, now 30% off at Sweaty Betty in limited sizes, here or here | sneakers (sold out), similar now 40% off at Madewell (here)
You know I love my Sweaty Betty track pants. What I love about these track pants is the front seam—it adds a dressier touch. The cashmere pullover and clean white sneakers keep the look comfy yet polished, perfect for lounging or a quick gym session if I choose!
Day 2
Zella jacket, similar (here) | Veronica Beard Jean, similar idea here | sneakers, similar idea 40% off here | Think Royln crossbody bag (older style), new styles, here 25% off site-wide.
This is what I wore to a casual dinner and movie night (Gladiator 2!) with friends. The weather was cold and windy, so you can see I layered up. I swapped my usual tote for this cute crossbody, which I thought added a nice touch of interest to the casual outfit.
Day 3
Flare jeans, older style, similar options currently on sale by Good American (here) | suede bootie, similar (here)
This cozy sweater was a fabulous thrift find (under $25!). Beautifully made, it’s a soft, cozy knit in one of my favorite colors. These flare jeans are over 15 years old, but they’ve lasted because I love the wash and fit. The suede booties add texture, and I think the color pairs perfectly with the sweater.
Day 4
I love all things TIBI—except the price tag. That said, their unique, special, and beautifully made pieces are worth it if they fit your budget. I stalk secondhand sites like ThredUp and The RealReal for standout TIBI finds, vintage or new. This wool skirt is a recent score—the blue/black/winter white textured check is so fun and easy to style. It’s a tie-front design, so I pair it with fitted tops like this ribbed sleeveless mockneck, perfect for heated indoor spaces. I’ve styled it with a blazer, cardigan, and here, a faux fur jacket. A faux fur crossbody is ideal for cocktail parties, keeping my phone handy while staying hands-free. Any chance to wear my Anine Bing mules is a win!
Day 5
This vintage Pendleton poncho is very special to me. It belonged to my grandma, and it takes me back to the ’70s when she wore it to soccer games, the beach, family gatherings, and more. A cherished heirloom, I love its ring zipper, fringe, and timeless ’70s vibe.
This week, in honor of my grandma, I made an effort to style it my way. With help from a dear friend who also knew her, I shopped my closet to create a look that felt true to me. After four attempts, I found my favorite. Can you guess which one?
For me, an outfit is a winner when it feels pulled together, classic, elegant, and comfortable. My favorite way to style this poncho is shown in the nighttime photo (sorry for the poor quality, but I like to keep things real!).
Here’s why: these crop mini-boot jeans are the right length for my booties (unlike in other photos where they drag), and I prefer the darker wash with the poncho. The hoodie-style cashmere sweater prevents the wool from itching my neck, and the navy nylon tote adds a contrasting texture and “lightness” to balance the poncho’s weight. Also, think of your hair as another accessory. Since this look has a lot going on, I prefered my hair pulled back, it seemed less “fussy”. This look felt just right to me.
Sometimes it takes a few tries to get an outfit right. Be patient and keep trying till you pull together a look you love and feel great in!
Make sense?
