what advice do you have for building a classy, dark energy, femme wardrobe on a budget?

I LOVE these expensive brands I see (YSL, Balenciaga, Jimmy Choo, etc.) but I'm trying to save money for more important things right now.

(plus I can't afford lots of super high end brands on a regular basis, as I'm sure most of us can't lol).

How can I "find dupes" for lack of a better term for these bougie brands I love, or what tips do you have for looking classy and highend on a budget (fashion wise anyway)?

Thanks xoxo

Hi love! I would say the main thing to do is pay attention to fabrics and stitching of garments.

Overall construction matters considerably more than the name on the tag when it comes to building a "high-end" wardrobe. Some fabrics to look for include: 100% cashmere, Pima/Supima cotton/organic cotton, merino wool, genuine leather, and/mulberry silk.

Pay attention to the stitching/buttons or accents on garments. Make sure there are no gaps or loose threads. Look for lined or double-lined items. Darker garments tend to look more expensive. Stick to neutral colors and classic silhouettes for a more "elevated" look.

Some more "affordable" brands (in the mostly $100-$300 range) I love include:

The Frankie Shop

Pixie Market

Massimo Dutti

Manière De Voir

Lilysilk

Reformation

Naadam

Sézane

GAP

Express (for bodysuits/trousers)

Banana Republic

Everlane (the Supima basic tops are great for the price)

Personally, my favorite way to save money on high-end clothes is to use sites like TheOutnet or YOOX and shop the sales sections of designer retailers like Farfetch, Luisa Via Roma, Saks, FWRD, etc. to get the same quality of clothing for less.

Hope this helps xx

Back to Basics and Style Inspiration

You know I’m a proponent of wearing what you already have in your closet, even though I do love to shop! I believe in buying the best quality pieces you can afford, for the most part, because these pieces will last for so much longer and you’ll feel good wearing them! Honestly, I’ve gotten to the point that I don’t want to bring anything into my closet that won’t still be wearable in five or even ten years. It’s just time for me at 60 years old to have a wardrobe that is full of classic, wearable pieces. Of course, there are exceptions…a few fun trendy pieces thrown in here and there make your wardrobe fun but even those, if purchased with care and thought can last for years!

January is my least favorite time of the year because of the weather and also because of the lack of sunlight! I thrive in the warmer months, but, alas…January is here and I do want to make the most of it! I find myself wanting to simplify everything after the excess of the holiday season, with clear, clutter free spaces and that also translates to my wardrobe! Basic pieces mixed and matched make me feel easily put together! Here are a few outfit ideas made up of basic pieces that you probably already own in some form! I hope you feel inspired!

I love the idea of wearing my Sambas with leather pants (these are recycled)…it’s a look I hadn’t thought of before, but why not? A basic white tee (closet essential) with a camel cardigan gets dressed up with a gold chain and a black bag completes the look! You’ll see me in this look often in the coming days!

I believe everyone needs a black leather jacket (or three)! I have a biker jacket, a more conservative leather jacket from Theory and a very old just basic black jacket that I still love and wear! I would like to add a black leather blazer to the mix this season if I can find just the right one! A leather jacket in some form or fashion is such a classic look that anyone can pull off and it pairs with jeans, trousers, skirts and even looks great with a dress! This look is classic and fabulous street style with the lug sole boots and medium wash jeans. Throw on the same white tee under the jacket, put your aviator sunglasses on, grab your bag and you’re out the door in style!

A herringbone coat is so stylish and classic and…I have a brown one but not a black one, so this one piece I’ve added to my wishlist! It’s a perfect everyday coat that’s just a bit more stylish than a solid coat but works just as well with most outfits! Loafers are trending and classic at the same time (also love these metallic ones) and a good black turtleneck is something that every woman (and man) needs as well as a pair of black sunglasses! I’m so in love with the YSL bag, but unfortunately, that’s for another day…a girl can dream!

I’m throwing in this picture as an example of how you can wear older pieces from your closet. I purchased the white blouse from Zara and found a little Pinterest inspiration on how to style it in an unusual way! It’s a pretty basic blouse that would go well with most anything, but I decided to style it under this embellished military jacket from Free People that I found in Nashville about 6 years ago! I loved the jacket then and I still love it…as far as I’m concerned, it will never go out of style! I added a very old bag from Chloe (at least 10 years old), a pair of clog booties that I purchased last season and my lower rise skinny jeans from Moussy Vintage (these are still some of my favorite jeans and are about 3 years old)! The pearl necklace is a little unexpected, but that’s what I like about it! The moral to this story is that if you really love something, you can find a way to wear it, so buy what you love and hang on to it! I’ve never been one to sell my nice things after a season because I still love them. Eventually, even if I take a break from wearing something, I’ll come back to it and revisit it in another way! It really is fun to get creative with your wardrobe!

I hope you’ve enjoyed this post…I felt a little long winded today! I’m working on a Valentine’s Day Gift guide for tomorrow that I think you’ll love! It’ll be here before you know it!

I love this dress so much, it’s great quality, light-weight but not see through and just perfect for summer. Except it has absolutely no shape, whatsoever. It easily looks amazing posed in pictures but in day to day wear it sits on the body like a potato sack. These dress clips were the perfect fix! They’re adjustable, and come in a variety of styles and colors to match any fit.

They work with so many different garments like slip dresses, jumpsuits, or give an oversized t shirt some shape!

the silliest little comic dfjkg bc i was thinking abt ways cassian + melshi and cassian + jyn would transition into cassian + melshi + jyn, and the obvious answer is just that cass is way too observant and immediately figures it out when jyn develops a crush

#should i make a sequel w/ him reading melshi like a book and figuring out he feels the same #and then essentially shoving them in a broom closet together #cassian andor #jyn erso #jynmelshian #ruescott melshi #kinda #my art

coming out as aroace was somehow a million times more traumatic than coming out as a lesbian, i dont want to know what people irl will say to me when i start saying im an aroace lesbian...

#sa warning for the tags->#'traumatic' as in lots of people threatened or attempted sa because they thought i was lying or they could fix me #other traumatic things happened but that was the worst part #at one point i dated a guy who essentially threatened and berated me until i admitted he 'fixed' me #and he seriously believed it #(my coming out timeline is complicated cuz i went back in the closet as aroace for a while- came out as lesbian- then as aroace again)#and people STILL say shit like this to me #something i experience as both aroace and a lesbian is how people will say they 'dont believe' me #because i have little crushes on fictional men ??#like HELPPPP OMG. me thinking kristoff from frozen is hot does not negate that i have zero attraction to actual men at all #like thats actually a hilarious thing to say #aromantic #asexual #aroace #arospec #aro pride #meowing (yapping)#venting #?

something about being a teen obsessed with loki back in the days of the first movies, where he is full of destruction and rage and constant suffering trying to claim power and agency in the world. he is tense and on his guard and not trusting anyone.

and now being in your mid 20's watching loki take control of the narrative, save the multiverse and take on this burden, not for power, but driven by his love for his friends. he is openly bi and admires his friends with a genuine smile on his face and sure he banters and jokes but never doubts their actual bond.

you get me?

#loki #loki spoilers #marvel blogging #loki s2 #loki laufeyson #thought twice abt adding openly bi into this post but i feel like it is actually essential.#closeted 15 year old me trying to figure herself out. she had no idea we'd be here today.#i know some people might not like this ending but it rly ended up being something healing to me.#it isnt just about the endgame. the entire episode was loki at his most loki to me. oh man.#wasnt gonna get emotional but then the thor 1 parallels got to me. lmao.

I'm realizing the more that I age, the more that I may have just stolen my closeted lesbian elementary gym teachers' whole personality

#the closet was see through to be fair #and also this isnt a bad thing but realising youre essentially the sequel to someone who had an impact on you is something else

A Week of Fall Outfits

In an attempt to get a little more organized in my busy life, I thought it would be helpful to plan outfits for the week ahead! I posted these collages on Instagram yesterday in the hopes that they would be helpful in inspiring a few looks with similar items that could be pulled from your closet. These looks really are made from “closet essentials” that can be endlessly mixed and matched. Even though you may not have the exact pieces, you probably have items that could be substituted to create a unique look for you! When I started trying to recreate these looks, I was surprised at how easily I could put something very similar together and I actually had a lot of fun doing it! I hope you’ll take a little time to do the same! Hang these outfits together in a section of your closet to make getting dressed easier! Of course, if you need or want to shop for any of the items, I’ve included links below the collages and a boutique at the end of the post! Happy Tuesday!

I’m substituting a vest for the jacket in this look and a tan bag instead of a chocolate brown one…just to give you an idea of what you can do!

I’ll admit that I purchased the coat (very affordable from Mango), but I’ll substitute white sneakers for the red and a solid black bag. The herringbone bag is very cute and kind of calling my name, but for now…I’m going to resist!

I don’t have the flare pants, but I do have some straight leg ones that work well! The bag is an investment, and one I would love to make, but I have a similar sheepskin that will work just fine until I decide to take the plunge on the designer YSL!

So easy to recreate…add a scarf to a black coat for a similar look. I’m not such a fan of ballet flats (even though they are a huge trend) so I’ll wear a bootie with this look!

My clogs are black and won’t work so I’ll wear a bootie and put the clogs on my wish list because they are so versatile (very cute with dresses). The olive green bag is one that would be an amazing addition to my closet because it’s so neutral and unexpected! A furry vest would also work with this look!

I purchased a pair of silver metallic pants in the early fall and I’ve been totally amazed at how versatile they are! I love these paired with a red coat and white blouse for a fun look to wear now and into the holidays! If you don’t have a red shoe, wear silver or even black! You can easily find a dupe for the bag on Amazon! I purchased this one and love it!

This look couldn’t be easier to recreate and is such a chic look to wear on a Sunday!

I hope you’ve enjoyed this post! I’ll be on Instagram stories stying these looks from my closet all week long so be sure to follow along!

Of course the Democratic king maker is advocating for gun control. For someone who fights for black people sure loves making them easy victims.

Here’s my recipe for my sun water cleansing spray! First spray I’ve ever made. Even added some protection to it because damn, I need it.

First I used the element of air to cleanse the spray bottle. Opened my window to the cold night, and let the air do it’s thing.

Next I set the bottle on the selenite slab while I got ready, to make sure it stayed cleansed and charged.

Ingredients:

I am out of moon water so I decided to use sun water! Let’s get rid of that negative energy taking hold of you!

1. 3 drops of lavender (I meant to add only 1 but more came out)

2. 2-3 drops of peppermint

3. 1-2 drops of tea tree (this is the protection part)

To give it that extra charge I held it and pictured myself standing in the sun and squinting at how bright it is. It was hard to do with my mental state.

And there you go! I’ve been so down and some personal things have made my mental health even worse, so you can bet I sprayed myself down with this! It’s heavenly. 😇

PS: maybe I’ll make one for my mom! That way she can have that same cleanse and protection herself, with her thinking it’s only a linen spray or something lol.

flashbacks to dialogue that happened less than a minute ago are annoying and a little insulting for obvious reasons, unless it's in bad buddy episode 5 [2/4] and pat is having entirely serious sepia toned flashbacks to fifty seconds ago while almost shoving a set of drumsticks he hasn't even paid for yet up his nose. then it's brilliant and world changing

#don't mind me i'm just chewing glass today #when the architecture band starts playing at freshy day and ink says to pat hey isn't that the song you two played that christmas?#it's like yeah... but that's a maddeningly casual way to refer to an event that in the context of the series wide metaphor #is really more like their parents caught them making out in a closet. and then pran got sent to boarding school over it #and NOW pran is up there on stage playing that same song again. looking right at pat when he announces it. but plaYING IT with WAI #and not intentionally. not in a mean sort of way. because pran doesn't know #he doesn't KNOW that pat's been shoving drumsticks up his nose while being struck cold by Love Signs #because how could he. all he knows is that very recently pat was sighing in relief that pran isn't his rival for ink. because pat likes ink #pran does NOT know that in the (very short. more than fifty seconds but still very short) meantime #pat has tried to figure out if ink might like him back. pat has in the process accidentally figured out that HE might like pran #AND pat has tried to confess his feelings to ink only for her to go. very kindly. are you sure you like me that way? i don't think you do #(because he's the wrONG SIBLING. she likes the OTHER SIBLING. which is hilarious but a different thing to go insane over)#and it's like. pran doesn't know!!! pran is just having a day like any other. pran has Known forever #he doesn't KNOW that when they're standing there surrounded by guitars (it's essentially a gay bar. don't even get me started)#(because that's a joke but it's also not. not really. it is but it's not. you know)#!! that when they're standing there surrounded by guitars. pat is suddenly going OH. in sepia toned flashbacks to fifty seconds ago #when they were ALSO standing there surrounded by guitars btw. which is the point. nothing has changed but maybe everything has #it's the same thing it was fifty seconds ago but maybe it's not. maybe pat suddenly hears the music that's been playing forever #and maybe this is way too many fucking tags. i don't even think this is the glass i was chewing originally #*#bad buddy #bad buddy the series
