001/ What I'm Wearing: 2023 Week 1

My first non-intro post! A closer look at my outfits of the week: après sweaters but make them city + a marinière.

Among other things, I’m planning to share weekly What I’m Wearing (WIW) newsletters with you. I have a few post ideas in mind already, but the scope and direction of this newsletter will evolve as I feel things out. A big part of that will be reading your comments and discussions to see what’s resonating and what you would like to see more of. So, don’t be shy — leave a comment at the end of this post!

I’ll start by breaking down my outfits from the first nine weeks of 2023 — this is a way to welcome my very first subscribers (hello and thank you!), give you something to read and hopefully spark some conversation. These first WIWs won’t include my thought process because, frankly, that was nine weeks ago, my memory ain’t what it used to be, I can barely recall what I did this morning. But from now on, as I get dressed, I’ll be taking mental notes for the express purpose of adding to this column!

As promised: details of outfits.

One note about the links I share with you in this newsletter. I use affiliate links, which means if you click one of the links and make a purchase, I may receive a small commission. Don’t worry: this commission doesn’t cost you anything, and it’s a way to recognize me for my knowledge of the market and the work that goes into cataloging and linking what I wear. If something isn’t linked, that means the piece might not be available anymore or I can’t find the exact right link for it.

I’d love to hear what you think of this recap. Please leave a comment or a question for me below!

With gratitude,
Irene
