Recreating an Oldie

I was searching on Pinterest for some outfit ideas, as one does, when I stumbled on this old photo of me. This remains one of my favorite all-time looks and I wear it at least a few times every fall. It’s crazy to think that this photo is six years old. Even though I’m turning 30 in less than a year, I somehow get carded every time I go out (even if no one else is)… but man, that 23-year-old in this photo looks VERY young.

I don’t love all of the outfits I’ve worn over the years– you live and you learn, right?– but this one stands the test of time! I still have everything but the jeans, which were something like $38 from Nordstrom and eventually had been washed one time too many.

Here’s how you can recreate it:

BARBOUR BEADNELL // I’m wearing the navy in this photo

(I also love the quilted version!)

FAIR ISLE SWEATER // My sweater is from Brooks Brothers (2012), but there’s a lot of great styles available today. I also think fair isle is totally worth searching for in thrift stores and online resellers!

Lands End also has a bunch of styles, I couldn’t get the widget for it to work. 

SKINNY JEANS // Wear your favorite pair 😉

BLOUSE // Mine is originally from J. Crew. I can’t find an exact copy, but any button down should do the trick!

BOOTS // My mom bought these Tory Burch boots for me during my freshman year of college (sooooo…10 years ago) and I still love them!

BAG // I like the pop of color the bag provides!
