You already KNOW I’m all over this video! Look 4: Crisp white shirt, mid wash cropped denim, chunky loafers… that’s my go-to look! Layering a blazer or a nonchalant chunky knit over the shoulders as we move into autumn. Cant wait to see the next video with trousers. I’m really into my wider leg trousers at the moment. Especially with a more fitted top for some contrast. I’m feeling my autumn uniform will consist of lots of fitted crewnecks, trousers, loafers, and playing with my accessories to add interest.

haha hiiii YES - you are a consistent source of inspiration for me! Love your addition of the chunky knit over the shoulders - the fitted crewnecks + trousers is such a classic uniform - I am loving your fall looks!

Thank you for featuring this classic shoe! I have multiple loafers, they’re not “chunky” nor do they have any embellishments so they feel “in style” no matter what trends come and go. Great lesson on proportions and how to get the most out of them! Side note, best score ever on thrifted footwear was a pair of Tod’s like new black patent leather loafers 😂

Yay! ❤ Loafers (& oxfords). These are all perfect variations of a style uniform. It was so helpful to see the side by side outfits and the explanation of why one version didn’t work as well. Sometimes I like to wear my loafers with a brightly colored sock to add playfulness, but I find it can be tricky to pull off without feeling like you’re advertising your ankles, lol.
