something about wanting to look like yourself again

wide leg trousers and a long sleeve shirt that buttons all the way up. it sounds like nothing. it felt like everything.

the kind of set you wear on a day when you want to feel put together without explaining yourself to anyone. it's been a few weeks now and i still keep coming back to it.

100% cotton. wide leg. nothing trying too hard. the kind of denim that looks like it has been yours for years even when it hasn't.

retro without being costume. loose enough to breathe in.

a mid-calf denim dress with embroidery at the collar. something about the way it sits on the body - unhurried, a little structured, a little soft.

wore it with nothing underneath and stood in the kitchen for a while before going anywhere.

a two piece that reads as effortless but is clearly not accidental. short sleeve shirt, strap skirt, the kind of set that photographs at dusk like it was designed for it.

still thinking about this one.
