You could also call these my current obsessions… Pastels honestly sell themselves, particularly during this darker, drearier stretch of the year when their gentle, romantic hues work like an instant mood booster. I've always adored them (pop over to my Shop Page for proof), though right now nothing excites me quite like a delicate lavender knit layered beneath an oversized white coat.
Stepping into plaid trousers is uncharted territory for me, and I credit the Theory pair featured in this look for the conversion. Their relaxed drape makes them a dream to dress up or down. They work beautifully with heels, sneakers, you name it — and that kind of versatility is exactly my weakness.
Compact yet commanding, especially when rendered in mock croc. Without question, this ranks among the most talked-about bag trends right now, and these tiny treasures instantly elevate an outfit with their tactile finish and refined flair. I'm currently obsessed with the burgundy-brown variations. A burgundy bag already commands attention, but that extra textural element transforms it into a true scene-stealer!
Lavender knits currently on my radar:
Chunky knits have an eternal place in my heart, and this Tularosa pick is stunning. But really, so is the Lovers + Friends alternative. I've also been completely taken with elongated cardigans lately, and Naadam's version is the ultimate throw-on-and-go piece for practically any outfit!
Plaid trousers I'm coveting right now:
Clu's athletic-inspired take is calling my name. It works wonderfully with sneakers and a denim jacket for off-duty days, but for evenings out, I'd style it with a cropped knit and heels — much like this look.
Mini mock croc favorites:
Staud has quickly climbed to the top of my favorite labels lately, and this petite beauty might just be the most adorable piece I've encountered! Choosing between burgundy and cream feels nearly impossible!
