What's this, an outfit post?! I keep joking that I'm "not into fashion anymore" and I'm only halfway kidding. And I know I'm not the only one! I mean, when was the last time you put on real pants?

I placed a small order during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale (these kickass combat booties [who do I think I am], a nicer long cardigan sweater, on a whim this green leather mini skirt that I am obsessed with] but as I was shopping I thought to myself, why am I even buying anything...when I'm currently wearing MAYBE 5% of my closet.

Does anyone else feel like they have an entire closet of clothes that has been neglected? Anyone just dying to put on a fancy dress, if only to do the dishes? Besides the obvious, spending time at home due to COVID, I had a major life shift last June when I quit my 9-5 office job. Even before everyone was working remotely, I wasn't going into an office everyday anymore --> putting on real clothes unless I had something real to do. Here's an Easter egg by the way - I am pursuing acting, failing trying to do some writing, but more realistically at this freaking moment, doing some nannying, helping my friend with his business, and being married (haha, not a job, but it probably explains a few things.)

Uh, all that to say, I feel burdened by clothing, anxious when putting together an outfit, and generally, uninspired by fashion. I mean, I'm trying to bring back GAUCHO PANTS these days. I just want to wear black. Black gaucho pants. :)

I'm being a tad dramatic because I still find clothing beautiful and personal style fascinating, I guess I'm just in a bit of a rut. And I would guess that I am in verryyy good company, since the majority of us are in loungewear day in and day out lately.

So! A rare opportunity to wear real clothes! I figured since this would be my singular outfit post for Summer 2020 (haha. wut) I should break out all my favorite new things.

Starting with: these very chic tailored shorts! Art was placing an order at J.Crew and picked them out because he thought they would look nice on me. I mean. I love this man for many reasons, but that is one. I love an espadrille, and when I saw Carina this Summer,  she gave these to me saying "they made her feet look fat and weird." I was like, yeah they do! Gimme! I'm about two years late to the "basket purse trend" (seriously, are they even in style anymore) but after ordering this one via an Instagram ad, it's become my go-to. You know, for when I need a purse these days. It feels distinctly Summer-y! But seriously, what does it say about me that I am so late to adopt trends?

And most importantly! A big reason behind this post! Is my adorable mask from Clifton + Leopold. You know, just one of those cute 2020 things, coordinating your mask to your outfit!

Now, in full disclosure, C+L is my friend's business that I've been helping out with (follow us on social!) So, while I am a bit biased - I really love our masks. They are comfortable, hand-crafted for a perfect fit over your nose (I wear the "Compact" fit ), two-ply, and MOST importantly - the prints are so so good! I am wearing the Georgia here, which screams Summer, but I have several others (the Coltrane is a long-time favorite.) My bandana is also from C+L - this is the Outlaw. A hair scarf like this is my go-to, stylish but effective, way to wrangle back my long, overgrown, quarantine hair, and I love this print so much!

Be sure and check out Clifton + Leopold for the cutest masks and hair scarves along with gorgeous bow-ties and ties, for the dapper dressers in your life! Alsooo because there may be some influencers reading this - if you would like to partner with us, email me at priya@cliftonandleopold.com!


I'll be back soon - I have both everything and nothing to share.

P.S. 8+ years of blogging & during this shoot I was accosted by the cutest photobomber EVER. Also how amazing is this new mural?
