A week of outfits in which I get to wear some new (and older!) NAS purchases and also play with the trends.

In #1 I'm ticking off tartans and lengthening the rise (though these culottes are not super high rise, they are "higher.")

#2/3 shows the new Kut Donna tartan skinnies -- so comfy, even if I'm "off" most skinnies! Ticking off tartans, lengthening the rise, releasing red!

#4 animal print accessory and maximal my way with the pattern mix. Super casual at home day.

#5 lengthen the rise, add structure (the gilet).

#6/7 nod to western wear, tick off tartan, add structure.

#8 enjoy animal print, release red.

#9-11 maximal my way (pattern mix), wear flats and low heels (actually, all of these are low heels but these are flats).

#12 an unexpected animal print (whimsical), wear midis, release red.

Other trends I will/ can embrace: play with puffers, flirt with florals, add a wild card. I'm unlikely to wear much in the way of earth tones but if I could find the right cognac shoe or bag, I'd go for it. Long blazers are difficult for me with my body type but I do love them so if the right one (with enough waist definition/ structure) were to jump into my lap, I'd give it a whirl. I may consider full length boot cuts but I'm not in a rush for those. They're too infrequent a wear to sink a lot of money into. I love 60s, 70s, and some 80s style so always look for items that echo those eras and could even go vintage on a few things.

Thanks for looking!
