2 Am I doing this right?

What/Wear

As I shop my own closet for the next three months and as I adjust to a new season of life, literally and figuratively I’ll share some of my fave details and some silly stories about what I wear around the PNW. No fancy photos, just me and my iPhone.

I’ve been reading “fashion” blogs for a long time. My OG bloggers have all grown a changed a lot over the years, gotten married, had children, changed the way they put their ideas out in the world and I love that. My favorite types of posts remain the classic OOTD. These What/Wear posts of mine are a take on those. A cheeky look into the closet of a bordering on basic millennial gal with a pretty standard but carefully considered closet of clothes she (mostly) loves.

What: 

My first time running solo errands in the rain as a PNW local – wondering if the boots are TOO much?  As I scurried through the drizzle to and from my car with its CA license plate I for sure looked out of place amongst my fellow locals who were definitely NOT wearing all weather gear in the drizzle.

Cold. Wet.

Wear: 

The rain jacket (Northface) I love this so much… and I wish was a different size. This was a Christmas gift that I chose for myself (the best kind IMO) and I went back and forth MANY times between sizes… I even went to a Nordstrom to try it on. I got the small. And, I wish I would’ve gone with the bigger size. Lesson learned – never size down in outerwear

Leggings (Everlane) – recycled plastic water bottles! Allegedly. I dunno I haven’t done my own research… But I tend to believe. They’re light and stretchy and I love them.

Boots (Alice + Whittles) – waited a LONG time for these handmade/vegan/sustainable “hiking” boots to arrive from Portugal and when they did, they were uncomfortable. I think I am finally starting to break them in – and no they were not too much for the slick parking lots and mossy sidewalks.

Socks (Entire World)- whenever I wear these socks, J asks me if it’s still the 90’s so, I guess the look it spot on!
