What I Wore to Work Today: ‘Color Blocking and Pizza’ Edition - since it’s been raining and humid for about 100 weeks now, I’ve had to inject pizazz (not to be confused with pizzas) into my outfits using rain jackets and water-proof bags. Trickier than it sounds…
Jacket: St. John’s Bay Rain Jacket $20 - found this gem at a thrift store in Pittsburgh. These older jackets are always incredibly light and come in amazing colors - so search your neighborhood thrifts before dropping money on a new one.
Shirt: Ralph Lauren Oxford -Couldn’t even tell you how old this shirt is, but oxford shirts are like wine - the older, the better. And when your outfit features “pop” color bags and/or jackets, keep the shirt simple.
Pants: Save Khaki Chino Pants $125 - again, SIMPLE. Just make sure they fit - opt for a straight leg fit. Peg them if necessary.
Shoes: Fred Perry Plimsolls $45 - if “rain shoes” won’t match your outfit, wear old sneakers - you won’t care if they get wet. These puppies used to be MUCH cleaner.
Bag: J.Crew Canvas Tote $59.50 - the neon “Ecto Cooler” stripe on this bag made it a must have for me - however, only after purchase did I notice how well the stripe on the bag played off of the stripe on this jacket. Fate I say. Don’t be afraid to combine color “pops” or sport “competing stripes” - however, as with all trends in fashion - practice (some) moderation…
Oh - also… Pizza.
