The Closet: September 2020

[RE/DONE Ribbed Tank] – $80

We don’t believe in no white after Labor Day so here are some favorite pieces included in this post. Also, talk about losing track of time here. It was only today that I realized, I hadn’t posted this and that we were way past due on it. I’ve combed through everything once more just to make sure that these pieces were still available. In the meantime, we’ll get started on October!

Pop of Pink

Turtleneck, Raincoat, Hat – Aritzia / Denim – Levi’s / Rain boots – Hunter

I deemed 2018 the year of the coat because San Francisco receives much more rainfall than South Bay. When I moved up to the city during the summer, I wasn’t seeing the rain quite yet. There wasn’t a need for the coat then, but how quickly things changed. When the annual Aritzia sale came around during the holidays, I honed in on what it was I thought I actually needed and prioritized. One jacket or coat – two if I got lucky (which I did!) I ended up with this raincoat (pictured above) because I didn’t have one and a new wool coat that was reversible and had a great deal tied to it!

In Seattle, you’re not even considered a true local if you have an umbrella. At the end of the day, no one wants to be THAT wet. Between having a heavier raincoat and a lighter one, I chose a lighter version. It may not be that warm, but it will protect me from the drops. It also comes in the classic millennial pink shade that I’m still not over.

Our Old Neighborhood

Tee – Aritzia / Denim – Levi’s / Shoes – Vince Camuto

There was never a shortage of backdrops in my old neighborhood. Moving day was approaching so I knew I had to get in every last drop. I wanted to make the most of every opportunity that I had in this neighborhood before leaving this story behind and starting a new and exciting chapter. With backdrops like this, it was particularly hard for me to make the decision to move home in the first place, but some things just need to be done. For my own good if not for anything else.

I was skeptical. I had heard from a couple of my friends that moving house is the hardest process that anyone has to deal with in their lifetime. That and getting married and having children. So before I even contemplated starting the process, I made the decision to read the reviews of people similar to these best Vancouver realtors who would be able to help assist me with everything that came with moving home. I was clueless about the whole process, in all honesty, so being able to lean on someone who has all the relevant knowledge and expertise would really make the process a whole lot easier for me. Looking back, now that I have found the perfect house, I’m glad I have made the decisions that I did. But it still doesn’t make leaving this neighborhood and these backdrops any easier.

So, I wanted to make sure I had the most perfect memories to take with me before moving day eventually came around. On this evening one day after work, we actually shot in five different areas (4 only included in this post.) The Mission neighborhood tends to be one of the warmest ones in the city so after work, I’m always ready to leave my jackets behind. I’m wearing a plain white Aritzia tee with a completely open back. It’s a little bit too racy for work so I had a cardigan over it the entire day until we shot. This outfit should be my daily uniform because it’s functional and just the right amount of comfort for anything I’d ever need to do.

I’ll let you know how moving day goes. I’m trying not to worry about it too much just yet as it will just stress me out even more than it should. As my parents always told me, I should take each day as it comes. And once I’ve been able to get in touch with somewhere like these USF Moving Companies, I know that a lot of pressure will suddenly disappear, as my friend has used them for various different moving occasions of her own, and has never had a bad word to say. This fills me with hope, at least. I’m nervous yet very excited at the same time. And, if I decide to wear an outfit like the one in the picture, I’m sure everything will go off without a hitch.

Washed Out

Cardigan – J. Crew / Denim – Levi’s / Booties – Vince Camuto

Is this not the biggest eye sore you’ve ever seen in your life?! I remembered seeing this garage and thinking this is not the backdrop that I would ever want, but it’s so interesting and reminds me of a jack-o-lantern that you just can’t not. I’m convinced that no outfit in front of could make this better, but here we are! I’m in the most neutral of tones and still loving this. Another reason why this is so funny is because the top and bottom photo are edited in two different ways. It’s because I couldn’t find an edit that I was happiest with. You’re an imperfect garage, but someone really does love you enough to not change you.

Hold On To Your Hat

Hat – Nordstrom / Sweater – Madewell / Denim – Levi’s / Shoes – Vince Camuto

Doesn’t this outfit look like it belongs in a modern day western? White with black (or in this case dark grey for the denim) is my favorite color combo because of how versatile it is. I definitely didn’t need the hat for this occasion, but sometimes when you’re feeling a little too plain, it helps to add something extra. Jimmy and I took some great shots back when we were in our old neighborhood. I’ll miss all the brick!

Justice or “Just Ice”

Dress // Urban Outfitters

Jacket // Levi’s – Urban Outfitters [borrowed from Steph]

Belt // H&M

Bag // Urban Outfitters

Shoes // Cole Haan [Mom’s]

Our school recently installed a new art piece next to our library and even though it looks like a tower of plastic ice cubes, I can tell the message is so much stronger than that. In the evenings, the ice cubes light up in an array of colors. What purpose that serves, I wouldn’t be able to tell you, but it is visually pleasing. A student in my department had the opportunity to name the piece and she came up with “Justice” or “Just-ice” WHOAAA two names. It is obvious why that was the clear winner.

See Your Instagram Photos in a Levi’s Campaign

photo cred | The Pop Up City

My one regret about not having an iPhone is not being able to have the Instagram app. I realize that the app specifically is miniscule in terms of what the entire iPhone can provide for me, but real talk here – I just want to fit in with everyone else. I won’t lie to you, I even went to the actual Instagram website to see if I could just download the app to my computer so that I could convert my photos that way, but no such luck.

Not only do my photos lack coolness, but not having the app puts me at a disadvantage for opportunities like this.

Levi’s is holding a casting call for their latest ad campaign and instead of bringing in the models, they want YOUR Instagram photos. So what do you need to do? Take a picture of yourself or your frands being all hip and stuff like Erin Wasson or whatever – Instagram it – Tag it with #IAMLEVIS and wait to see if you get snatched up by the brand!

If they like your photo, your winning Instagram snapshot could appear on their billboards and in their commercials.
