Every time I scroll through my camera roll, there are always a few photos that end up lighting up my DMs. Whether I’m out shopping, sipping coffee, or crouching to tie my shoelaces, someone always comments, “This outfit feels so you.” That’s when it hit me—I should put together a little lookbook, not to showcase something polished or fashion-forward, but to share those real, easy, lived-in outfits that you and I both seem to love most.
The first one takes me back to a flea market trip with a friend. I threw on an oversized white shirt and tucked it half-heartedly into a pair of khaki wide-leg pants, slipped into my scuffed-up sneakers, and tied my hair into a low ponytail because I was running late. Somehow, the photo from that day felt the most like me—unbothered, soft, but intentional. A few girls messaged me saying it reminded them that style doesn’t have to be hard. You don’t need to “try,” you just need to be yourself.
The second outfit was on a rainy afternoon at my favorite old café. I was curled up in a corner wearing my go-to knit dress and a deep gray cardigan. The lighting was moody, the window streaked with raindrops, and the whole vibe felt like sitting in a warm latte. That photo got saved the most. Some of you said it was “so comforting,” and many asked where the cardigan was from. Truth is, I’ve had it for years. The fabric is softer now, the sleeves stretched just right. It’s like wearing a blanket that has seen every version of you.
The third one honestly surprised me. It was just a denim pinafore over a printed tee, paired with athletic socks and chunky sneakers. I wore it to the library, thinking nothing of it. But you all loved the “back-to-college” vibe. Maybe because there’s something nostalgic about dressing like you’re still figuring things out, still worrying about what’s for lunch instead of everything else life throws your way.
Writing this made me smile. It turns out, the outfits you love most are the ones I didn’t think much about. They’re the moments when I wasn’t posing too hard, when my bangs were messy and my clothes were just… comfortable. It reminded me that fashion isn’t always about the runway-ready look. Sometimes, it’s about looking in the mirror and thinking, “Yeah, this feels right.”
So, thank you—for seeing me, and for making me want to keep sharing these little pieces of everyday life. I hope next time I post an outfit, you’ll smile too and think, “I could totally wear that.”
