A Week In Sustainable Outfits
Greetings from the tail end of a productive WFH week! I recently partnered with ethical clothing brand Back Beat Co. over on Instagram to style some cute and sustainable fits. You can check out the full styling reel or check out the post down below. And I thought I’d do a full break down of each outfit in case you’re in need of some fresh outfit ideas to sashay around the house in.
Day 1: A Puff Sleeve Moment
Denim and a sweater is basically my go-to outfit formula for winter work from home days. While color doesn’t make much of an appearance in my wardrobe, there is one color that I absolutely adore and that’s a pastel lilac or lavender color. This sweatshirt is so comfortable and cozy. The cropped cut works great with my high waisted denim and the puff sleeves adds a little drama, baby!
Day 2: Winter Boots & Vinyl
To spice up Day One’s look, I swapped the clogs for my current favorite winter shoes, the Grensen Nanette boots. I love the chunky lug sole and lace up details that give them a utilitarian vibe. And this vinyl trench, an M&S and Alexa Chung collaboration from ages ago, is probably the secondhand piece I’m most proud of tracking down after a several years of swooning over it. Is it classic and neutral like the rest of my wardrobe? Probably not. But it’s surprisingly versatile and right at home in my Fall/Winter capsule.

Day 3: Something Borrowed
When I first saw these white hemp utility pants I knew they were just begging to be styled in a nautical, Parisian-esque outfit. I’ve never actually owned a pair of utility pants but the high waist, wide leg cut and contrast stitching are all details I love in classic denim so I styled them as such. This striped Breton top in a heavy cotton is a piece I found on ThredUp one day and it has quickly become one of my most-worn tops. The navy peacoat has a fun backstory as it originally belonged to my little brother when he was a kid and I’ve since adopted it for my own wardrobe.

Day 4: Dressed Up Loungewear
On those days when you just can’t be bothered with jeans (I’ve had many recently) a comfy lounge pant is a must. This new ribbed style from Encircled has been in heavy rotation lately. I especially love the ruched gathering at the ankles which make them feel nice enough to wear out for a coffee run. And to add more structure to an otherwise slouchy fit, I like to throw on a leather biker jacket. This oversized style from Maje was found secondhand on ThredUp last year.

Day 5: Big Coat Energy
The nice part about basic pieces is that they really go with everything. At the moment I’ve been keeping my outfits simple and relying on my trusty outfit formulas. Dressing in the winter is a bit easier too seeing as every outfit just gets hidden under a big coat. This Topshop camel wrap coat was a Poshmark find from a couple years ago is my warmest winter coat and one that always makes me feel polished and put together.
