Some weeks feel heavier than others, don’t they? Between the constant news cycle, the juggling act of work, and family life that never slows down, it’s easy to feel like what we wear shouldn’t matter all that much. And yet, the world keeps spinning, our alarms still go off at 7AM (unless it’s the weekend, in which case my kids happily take on the role of alarm clock), and that age-old question—“What on earth am I going to wear today?”—always demands an answer.
That’s where the “Look of the Day” comes in. Think of it as a weekly destination: a mix of casual outfit snaps, polished collaboration pieces, and a few unpublished gems I love too much not to share. Sometimes it’s about practicality, sometimes it’s about creativity, but always it’s about making everyday dressing just a little bit easier—and hopefully a little more fun.
This week’s five best looks? Let’s dive in.
Monday: Starting Simple
There’s something comforting about beginning the week with a no-fuss look. On Monday, I leaned into my go-to formula: a perfectly tailored Maje coat layered over a striped Kule sweater, my favorite pair of Re/Done jeans, and sturdy Chanel boots. Accessories are what elevate this otherwise simple combo—a Jimmy Choo bag for structure, plus a pair of old Céline sunglasses that I’ll never part with. Casual, yes, but still polished enough to feel pulled together for school drop-off, coffee runs, and a few back-to-back meetings.
Tuesday: Playing with Layers
By Tuesday, I was ready for something a bit more playful. Layering is always my answer when I’m not in the mood for anything too obvious. A flowy midi dress paired with a leather jacket brought just the right mix of feminine and edge. I topped it with ankle boots that I swear make every outfit look cooler and carried a slouchy tote that fit everything from my laptop to Stella’s art projects. This was the kind of look that transitions easily from work mode to dinner with friends—something I’ve learned is always worth having in your back pocket.
Wednesday: Midweek Mood Boost
By Wednesday, I’ll admit, my energy starts to dip. The to-do list feels endless, and I usually need a mood booster. This week, it came in the form of a bright knit tucked into wide-leg trousers. I’m convinced a pop of color can transform even the most exhausting day into one that feels a little lighter. A structured mini bag and slingback heels finished it off, proving you don’t need an overcomplicated outfit to make a statement. Sometimes it’s the simplest combinations that hit hardest.
Thursday: Effortless and Sleek
Thursday demanded sleekness. I went with a monochrome look—head-to-toe black—but added contrast through textures. A long tailored coat, slim trousers, and glossy boots created a sharp silhouette, while a soft knit underneath kept it wearable. I accessorized with oversized hoops and a crossbody bag that kept me hands-free all day. Outfits like this remind me how chic simplicity can be. You don’t need prints or embellishments when clean lines and good tailoring do all the talking.
Friday: Casual Meets Chic
By Friday, I was craving comfort without giving up style. Enter: denim done right. I wore high-rise jeans with a tucked-in blouse, topped with an oversized blazer that made the whole outfit feel instantly elevated. My sneakers balanced it out, while a statement bag added that last little spark. It was the perfect look for wrapping up the week—casual enough for errands, polished enough for last-minute plans.
Why Outfits Matter
Of course, there are always bigger conversations happening in the world, and clothes alone won’t solve them. But I like to think style gives us a small way to bring joy, control, and even a little creativity into our daily routines. Getting dressed each morning might not feel like a world-changing act, but it does change your world, if only for a moment.
So, whether you’re starting Monday with a classic coat and jeans or ending Friday with a chic blazer-and-sneakers combo, know that every outfit is a chance to show up for yourself in a way that feels authentic and right for you.
Here’s to another week of looks—whatever they may be.
