November Playbook Pt.1
let's get shoppin'
This was actually my original Playbook, but something didn’t feel right.
So I wrote something else and paywalled it because that felt right… and is now called Rule of 3…
Anyway…
Welcome to The November Playbook, Pt.II :)
Necessities
Stockings & Socks
You can never have too many socks and you can definitely never have too many leopard print stockings!
I don’t know where I’m going in these and it doesn’t matter. I’m getting these during the next SSENSE sale. End of story.
Heeled Loafers and Boots
My footwear needs beefing up and I am in love with all things heeled. I used to think Mariah Carey was crazy for saying heels were more comfortable than flats, but I totally get it now: a slight incline is the difference between me being fine and my feet hurting all day.
I’ve made an offer on these Prada lace-ups (which has since been countered at not a good price for me considering all those fees) and also purchased these ones by Hogan.
Honourable mentions include these Midland Stuart Weitzman Boots (which have been on my list for a while), and these Patent Navy Boots by Aeyde.
More Clothes Generally
I’m not going to go crazy when it comes to buying more clothes, only adding a few more items to my existing pieces to extend their longevity:
I was able to snag those Levi’s jeans in-store during a sale for $55, which is crazy. They were on sale, plus an additional 60% off!
I like them a lot!
These would absolutely slap with those Prada lace-ups or any other mid-heeled boot or shoe for that matter.
Aspirations
Suede and/or Shearling Jacket
I’m doing pretty well in the coat and jacket department; luckily it was a section of my wardrobe I did not touch when I was getting rid of everything. And I’m so glad, because good coats are so hard to find and expensive to replace! I really like this one from COS, but of course it’s sold out. I also went in-store, but not available.
The time to look for a coat isn’t when you need one, it’s in August when you’re still sweating… siigh…
Some online alternatives:
Again, not a necessity, but would do my wardrobe some good, esp. styled with a mini skirt or dress.
These Sunglasses
Again, doing ok in the eyewear department, but I seem to have misplaced my Ray-Bans, so there’s technically room for one more. I also don’t have plain Black sunglasses.
Always some Tabis
I’m ready for a pair of Tabis. These are very much giving cool girl through the airport and I’m here for it. I also like the Mary-Jane Tabi Loafers, but I’ve collaged those so many times already, lol.
A Dior Double Saddle
I’ve wanted a Saddle Bag for a while — 2019 to be exact when I saw some German chick wearing one at breakfast. Ever since, I’ve been in love.
There’s something about the Double Saddle that makes the small bag seem more practical (also, the cowhide one isn’t a saddle, but still good).
This is definitely not high on my priority list, but just had to put it out into the Universe that I need a Dior Double Saddle in my life and wardrobe.
That’s it for now, folks :)
I’m using this as a shopping guide for the coming months and will actually refer back to it if I feel myself getting distracted.
This has been the November Play Book
Thanks for reading!
Until the next time,
Ciao!
