I think your style might be my literal favorite style; mixing interesting solid color hues in a variety of silhouettes and using accessories to zhush it all up if needed. Thank you for all the inspo!
Aw, that’s such a kind thing to say! I am so inspired by your style as well—can’t wait to see how you interpret “mermaid summer”with your new silk pieces!
Lan, the colourful outfit inspo is next level here!! I loveee your tonal outfits, and the tanks with the straight skirts. I also agree that Brooke Callahan skirts aren't all that (for the price, I expected better cotton), even though I do really like the cut!
This post is like drinking a tall glass of lemonade with a small shot of sparkling soda during a heatwave! So refreshing to see color mixing with a lived-in effect... Something you can only get in embracing secondhand! I'm very much tempted by BC pants... Wish I could sew!
Ooh I love that imagery. Thank you for reading! To be honest, I have very limited sewing skills to go with my lofty ambitions—but I’m trying to figure it out!
Your dissection of pairings is super interesting to read. Especially love how you are thinking about colour play. Though I'm most impressed - as always - by your sewing capabilities. Can't wait to see how your upcoming projects turn out.
I love your uniform, and the way it can be shaken up by playing with colour. I particularly enjoyed the not-quite matching sets - that tonal look just felt very plaeasing. I totally agree that basing a summer wardrobe on core shapes and then having the freedom of playing with colour totally works!
Thanks, Louise! I actually really enjoy the limitations that come with summer dressing. Figuring how to do more with fewer clothes is a fun creative challenge.
I enjoy your outfit posts so much. I just googled "mermaid core" and erm, no thanks, i'll take your version. The colour palette here is great and your style formulas and the types of pieces you go for really show them off at their best.

You know I’ll be reporting back

Thanks—that means a lot! I have drawn so much inspiration from the way you wear colour.

Thanks, Usha! I’ve not made much progress on my sewing projects yet, but I have faith (or delusion?) that I’ll figure it out. Will report back!

Oops, I may have co-opted this aesthetic label without bothering to look it up haha... Glad you enjoyed this, Lin!
So much to love! Especially into the “not quite matching sets” and same page re: the Callahan skirt!
Thanks, Elin! ❤️
