What I Wore This Week, Ep. 2 | Sweatpants, Stripes & Snakeskin
This past week on Instagram went a little something like this.
Geoff and I visited the real Schitt’s Creek, aka, Goodwood, Ontario. Just north of Toronto, this little quaint town is exactly as it looks on the TV show, with a few varying details - Rose Apothecary is actually Romni Wools, a knitting shop closed for the winter that will be re-opening in April. Café Tropical isn’t a restaurant, but a private residence. Bob’s Garage is a wheelchair workshop, and Roland’s House is a real residence. You can find more details on my Instagram here, and a video tour on my IG Stories highlights. For our trip, I wore sweatpants and a graphic Balenciaga scarf that I only hope David Rose would approve of.
Monday marked the first whole week back to work for many of us after the 2019 X-mas/New Year break. After nearly three years of working from home as a freelance blogger, I felt it was time for a change and started the new year with a new office job. You might see more business casual looks on my social media, but don't worry, they'll still be edgy. On top of my Monday to Friday day job, I'll also continue to produce new content for the blog, Instagram, and YouTube.
Finally, I announced this week on my IG that I will be starting a conscious consumption year. This is something I’ve been wanting to do for a while now and I’m at a point where I’m very happy with the contents of my closet, so it feels like the timing is right. The awesome part is that some of you guys are also starting, or going into your second low-buy year, so I feel like we can support each other in this journey. I’ll be uploading a video on this to my YouTube channel soon, so be sure you’re subscribed!
Keep scrolling for my full week in outfits.
1// SWEATPANTS & SWEATSHIRT
Wearing Essentials sweatpants, a black sweatshirt, and a Balenciaga logo scarf with a beige coat on a chilly winter day.
2// BALENCIAGA KNIFE MULES IN BRONZE
Here I’m wearing a cropped beige jacket from LPA clothing, a white tank, black paper bag waist pants, and my Balenciaga bronze leather knife mules. This colour was a Net-a-porter exclusive which I happened to score on sale a while back.
3// LOUIS VUITTON EMPREINTE LEATHER MONOGRAM BUMBAG
One of my favourite purchases from last year was this Louis Vuitton empreinte leather monogram bumbag. For my review on this bag, head over to my YouTube channel, youtube.com/woahstyle.
4// CHANEL JUMBO FLAP BAG
Wearing my Chanel patent leather jumbo flap bag and styled it similarly to the brand’s Gabrielle bag.
5// STRIPED SWEATER WORN TWO WAYS
Pairing black & white with neutrals for a daytime, work appropriate look. I love how the faux-snakeskin Alexander Wang Parker loafers add something unexpected to the outfit.
Styling the same outfit with my green satin Balenciaga BB slingbacks and my Chanel jumbo flap bag.
6// WINTER LAYERS
Finally, a throwback to my New York trip last year. I took this photo as I was just finishing packing. There’s no way I would have put my Away carry-on on the bed otherwise.
