I've reached a point in the summer where the closet is stacked with what seems like everything I need. Yet, there are still occasional moments when I am dreaming of the new pieces that I'd love to make their way into my wardrobe. My daily Instagram scrolls and walks through New York City always bring up a source of new inspiration. I'm quick to spot the trends that I want to try next, and the 5 pieces I just added to my wardrobe touch on all of them.
I distinctly remember seeing someone in the West Village wearing a tailored vest the other day which made me feel like I had to have one immediately. I also can recall the perfect princess-like cotton poplin dress moment that I just had to emulate. When the latest Who What Wear Collection drop included all of the above, I just had to have as many of those new styles as I could get my hands on to recreate the inspirational moments that were haunting my brain. These 5 pieces were truly game-changers and you have to see how I styled them this week.
Have you ever wanted to feel like Cher from Clueless? That dream of mine came true when I wore this look-out for appointments the other day. A matching set always wins me over and this one is definitely worth wearing another time as separates as well. I felt so pulled together which made getting dressed a breeze on that busy work day of mine.
Shop the look:
It's giving a bit of tennis core in all the right ways.
This cropped cardigan is going to be a star player in my lineup from summer to fall.
I'm so here for this bright and fun colorway.
The perfect weekend outfit.
Tailored suiting is another foolproof move when it comes to making the most out of your wardrobe. I've already worn these pieces as separates with the vest pairing well with my low-rise jeans and the pants being a great match to the ribbed white tanks I'm loving. Next, I need the matching blazer.
Shop the look:
This is how you get away with wearing a suit in the summer without having a heatstroke.
There's no such thing as too many wide-leg pants.
Buttons galore.
Cotton poplin dresses are evolving more and more in the full-on princess direction. This butter-colored dress is one to call on if you want to feel as special as I did wearing this look just yesterday. From the full skirt to the tie details at the neckline, you'll look fabulous from head to toe.
