After a summer and early fall of experimenting with different ways to document what I’m wearing, I’m excited to go back to what I know and love – creating weekly outfit round-ups! I like having a week’s worth of outfits all in one place. It’s a great way to study looks and hash out what’s working and what is not.
For the purposes of this series, a ‘week’ will consist of five days. I like giving myself some off-duty time on the weekends. However, on Sundays I often dress up a bit, so you may see a Sunday swapped for a Monday.
To those who love studying style and seeing what others are wearing, this is for you, and I hope you enjoy it.
MONDAY:
I jumped at the chance to style this new, double-breasted blazer from Everlane. I bought their Glen Plaid blazer a few months ago and I love it. Later this week, I am putting together a post on how to style blazers for every day, and I can’t wait to share it!
Outfit Details:
Oversized Double Breasted Blazer, 4, c/o Everlane
Jeans, vintage Levi’s 517’s, Etsy
Clementine Clog (41), c/o Bryr
Classic Shoulder Bag, Cuyana
TUESDAY:
Trying to see how many brown shades I can fit into one outfit. This one was on the verge of ‘outside my comfort zone.’ Yet, I see women all the time rock these full brown looks, or as I like to dub them #stickofcinnamon, but I’m a little unsure of how to pull them off. Maybe if I had a brown top it would have worked better? How much brown is too much?
I think, when you’re experimenting with outfits, it comes down to how ‘intentional’ it looks. Not sure if this one is quite there. Might try repeating it this week, but with a brown top instead. #stickofcinnamon for life!
Outfit Details:
Cardigan no19 (one size), Babaá Knitwear
British Tee, c/o Zappos
Corduroy Straight Leg Crop (6), c/o Everlane
Waterproof Bootie, Aquatalia, (style no longer available, but this is very similar, and discounted 50%!)
Fisherman Tote, Esby (this color sold out, love this vintage-y option)
Tortoise Hoops, c/o Baleen
WEDNESDAY:
I’m so very excited about these pants! These are the wide leg jeans of my dreams. You may or may not remember I purchased a pair of Kamm wide leg jeans earlier this year and, despite trying them in two sizes, they just weren’t for me. The waist was too high, and the denim too long and thick. Basically, it was just too much pant. And then I tried the Everlane wide leg jeans, which I really liked, but they are too short for me to wear in the cold months. I wanted a true wide leg, in a full length, which turned out to be a bit of a unicorn until I found this pair from Frank + Oak!
To make this top cold-weather appropriate, I added a white tank underneath, and it made all the difference. So often I skip over lightweight tops in favor of sweaters, but I really wanted to wear this color. I’m looking forward to ‘winterizing’ other tops in my closet with this tip!
Outfit Details:
Alpaca Cardigan, from Zady, FW’16 (very similar)
Collarless Air Shirt (6), c/o Everlane
Nina Long Wide Leg Jean (28), Frank + Oak (these came with a raw hem, but I chopped an additional 3 inches off)
Sneakers (41), Veja
Hollow Hoops, Bagatiba
THURSDAY:
Thursday is my ‘on-the-go’ day, where I spend a good chunk of time outdoors. My kids don’t have a lot of activities, but they all seem to culminate on Thursday, including a very chilly soccer practice. Hence, my Thursday outfits are usually a little more geared for the weather, and why I’m showing you the ‘outerwear’ version of it. The indoors version feels a little more utilitarian than I like in an outfit, but sometimes practicality wins.
Outfit Details:
Claude Cardigan (S/M), L’envers
Striped Long Sleeve Tee (M), Everlane
Liza High Waist Straight Leg Jean (28), Reformation
Amalia Boots (10), c/o Nisolo
Scarf, Acne Studios
City Anorak (S), Everlane
FRIDAY:
Today was the first time I wore these pants on a cold day, and combined with the socks and boots they were quite toasty! I think a fitted sweater would have been more ‘flattering’ in this look, but I just really wanted to wear this sweater. It’s so soft and lightweight, I want to wear it all the time.
There are a TON of sweaters on Everlane’s site right now, and it can be a little overwhelming. But I would put this sweater in my top three that they offer, it is that good. It has great shape, is soft, warm and made from natural fibers (alpaca!). I own it in three colors.
Outfit Details:
Alpaca Crew (M), c/o Everlane
Florence Pant (M, regular), Elizabeth Suzann
Ralf Combat Boot (10), Freda Salvador

I was already wondering if you had already recieved the wide leg pants from Frank and Oak…..
They look great on you and you have now convinced me to add them to my closet.
But my size, 31, is sold out for the moment.
So in the meanwhile I bought a wonderful wide leg pants (not cropped) from Levis.
What can you tell about the sizing?
Do they fit true to size or smaller/wider?
Anyway, they are wonderful and at a better price tag than the Kamm pants ;-)
Hi Martine! These Frank + Oak pants seem to run true to size! I took my usual denim size and they are a great fit.
Are you liking the Nisolo boots? I have been thinking on getting them. They remind me of my Timberlands from the 90’s which I kick myself for getting rid of! I need a good weather-proof shoe that looks good enough to wear to work on wet days. Was the break-in period tough?
Hi Rebecca, I had barely a break in period at all! The first time I wore them was for a several hour event on my feet, and they were pretty darn comfy. They only rubbed a tiny bit around my sock seam. I can’t say about the leather ones, those might be a bit stiffer.
I think you would have liked Norwegian brand Livid Jeans in the Tia model! They are very good on transparency too.
Thank you for letting me know Elise, I’ll look them up!
Love the Frank and Oak pants! I was wondering if you knew anything more specific (than what’s on their website) about their labor practices? Their answers seemed very vague and more directed toward their environmental efforts (which seem awesome!)
I don’t know anything beyond what’s on their website, but I like what I see so far!
apologies if you’ve already answered this, but where did you get your wooden clothing rack? I love Friday’s outfit the best!
Hi Liz, I don’t think I’ve answered that! I got it off Amazon, here’s the link. But I wish I had gotten one with wheels!
Great format Andrea! May I ask what colour are your Florence pants? Thanks!
Of course, these are the cotton canvas in Clay. :)
Taking a break from or giving up clog boots? They’d look great w every outfit
Fair question! The right boot has been really tight on the instep of my foot lately. It always has been, but I can’t seem to get comfortable with it this year, so I haven’t been wearing them a ton…
Hi Andrea!
Great post! I’m planing on stealing a couple of styles for my own! :)
Can’t wait to read the post on blazers. I recently sold the one I had because it wasn’t my style and I have none at the moment. I feel overwhelmed with all the different fits and I am unsure which one would be the best for my body type and style.
About wide leg pants, if you had asked me a couple of years ago, I would have answered not for me. But I feel so comfy and confident in them now… I bought a new pair for the Baptism of my baby girl later this year, and I looooove them!
On a different note, that mid-century vibes in your home are so beautiful!
Best,
Alejandra.
Hi Alejandra – thank you for the sweet note! Isn’t it funny how we come around on styles after we have seen them many times over? When culottes first came on the scene, I said never, but of course now I love wide leg jeans. It’s so funny how these things come full circle. Congratulations on your daughter’s upcoming baptism!
And thank you for the kind words about our home, we love it so much!
I love your Wednesday outfit – love the button down + cardigan + wide leg jeans look! (Also, you are rocking short hair. I’m trying to grow my hair out but every other day I think about cutting it to a short bob haha)
Haha, we always want what we don’t have when it comes to our hair, huh? I am currently contemplating if I should let it grow! And btw, love your blog Piper!!
I really appreciate your posts on how clothing looks “In the Wild”. Could you please say more about your thoughts/experience with the Everlane cords from Tuesday in this post? Particularly about sizing and stretch. I’m considering them, but plenty of the reviews on the website recommend sizing down. I’ve never purchased pants online due to being fussy about fit. You make their jeans look amazing (better than their own models online!). (Also, do you mind sharing your waist and hip measurements, and height?) Thank you!
Hi Marilena, thank you so much for the tremendous complement about the jeans! As for the cords, I would say they fit true to size, but relaxed. For me they fit snug in the waist, and kind of relaxed through the hips/thigh/knees. If you want a snug fit you could size down. I took my true size. I am 5’7, and my waist is about 29/30″ and my hips 39″. Let me know if you think of any other questions!
