Heard: Ritual Union, Little Dragon
Wore:
- I was listening to Ritual Union but the song itself didn't influence me. Instead, those two words, ritual union, were my motivation for this outfit. I took classics--cable knit sweater, plaid shirt, and jeans--and attempted to dress them up. I'm pretty sure it's a standard JCrew look--just add wind machine. I thought of the sometimes mindless ritual of putting on clothes, combined with the union of comfortable, go-to, classics, but in a nicer-looking way.
- I'm still in Winter Calm-mode, so this creamy cable knit sweater from F21 fit my mood. It's currently very windy (and there might be a sprinkle of snow, but nothing like the snow from exactly a year ago!)
- But it's not all pale neutrals around here--I did insert a little color with a plaid shirt underneath the sweater.
- Some black skinnies--I swear I always wear these--black pumps, along with this hair (but a bigger curling iron barrel), and a bit of red lipstick finished my look. PS: I dyed my hair and it came out really dark, so no outfit photos this week! Maybe I will coax myself into it later.
What's your Ritual Union outfit?
Have a great weekend! Be safe, behave, and be well. Love, Elle

Such a cute outfit! I wear something like it. Only I wear knee socks and boots instead of heels.
ReplyDeleteP.S. giveaway on my blog!
I'm sure your hair looks wonderful! (But I totally understand how you must feel!) I particular like that lipstick color with that outfit.
ReplyDeleteI love the line "standard J.Crew look-just add wind machine." That cracked me up! So true though.
ReplyDeleteLove the outfit! Mine is black skinnies, ankle boots, some kind of top or blouse, belted and go. have a great weekend! xoxo

Wow! I really like this outfit. I also realized that I need a bigger curling iron barrel with my new hair cut after trying to curl my ends under this AM. Hope you have a happy Friday!
ReplyDeleteToo cute! I really want a sweater that a plaid shirt would fit under. I keep trying all my combinations and it's pretty obvious I just need a new sweater!
ReplyDeleteThis looks relaxing and warm!! Very cute to wear outside and still look nice!! Have a great weekend xx

ReplyDeletelove this look..something I would def wear!
ReplyDeletelovin' the whole look! just need to figure out how to cut my feet off...
ReplyDeleteI am loving the plaid top and the red lips - so phenom! :)
ReplyDeleteI really like the chic and relaxed vibe of this outfit! Happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteThe fact that this model is missing feet scares me. :)
ReplyDeleteI need a go-to pair of black skinnys. It's an essential wardrobe piece!
ReplyDeleteThis is a fun combination, I like the sound of winter calm mode!
ReplyDeleteI have to admit I am not a huge fan of plaid, probably wore it too much in the 90s ;-) Bu the rest of the outfit is absolutely something I would wear pretty much any day of the week! I tend to go for the basics with a few feminine touches, like the pretty pumps and berry lips :-)
ReplyDeleteI love this look. The plaid and the red lipstick are perfection!

If I'm just heading out for a bit I'll usually throw on jeans, a button-down shirt and wear my converse. Yep, I'm 24 and I still rock some converse, haha.

Truly like this post. My ritual union outfit would most likely consist of leggings or skinny jeans with chunky oversized sweaters and boots. Really like your inspired ritual union outfit.
ReplyDeleteHave a FABulous weekend!

Kid you not...I live in my black skinnies...and with the cold weather, flannel has become my best friend!
ReplyDeleteThat outfit is my current uniform. I'm a huge fan of plaid, and those shoes are amazing.
ReplyDeleteLoving the ritual union look--black and red, doesn't get more classic chic! My ritual union look is my new stripey commes de garcons tee with jeans and my navy burberry blazer. To that i just add lots of pops of color--red nails, red lips, green glasses.
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend lovelie!
