218: Wear, chair, repeat

The mac coat, baby tee, and hobo bags holding my wardrobe together.

A different kind of outfit diary—this one is anchored in the everyday, regular, bog-standard life of a fashion shopping newsletter writer whose non-computer-oriented work involves going to press previews and brand events and taking meetings, and having a social life.

The rhythm is: wear, chair, repeat.

More present than in the fashion week and travel outfit diaries I usually post is the recurring cast of characters you’ll get to know by the end of this send. It’s early spring, and the things I feel like wearing all of the time are this Rue Sophie mac coat (which I’ve talked about a lot these past weeks and is now sold out—try this Mango one instead), a Coucou Intimates baby tee that I just ordered three more of because it’s peerless in its category (also shout out to this Réaslisation tank, which I can say the same for re: tanks), and the Mansur Gavriel and Little Liffner hobo bags that have rendered the rest of my bag collection moot.

I posted these looks on Instagram yesterday, but for everyone who asked: Here are the complete outfit credits.
