playing favorites

i've been thinking about doing this post for a while - just like the "what's-in-your-bag" posts, i think taking a peek into someone's most-valued-pieces in their closet can be quite revealing. it also brings to light the depths of sartorial experience beyond just coveting beautiful, 'fashionable' things...your favorite dress, jacket or pair of shoes embodies memories and has transformative powers that make it special beyond its materiality alone.
below are mine - and i'm tagging you, nanashi, grechen, kristin, anabela, caroline and wonderfelle! can't wait to see what lovely pieces you're all wearing to pieces ;)

1: steven alan reverse seam shirt, mm6 martin margiela gray skinny jeans, no.6 shearling clog boots, rachel nasvik gold eleanor bag | 2: my trusty virginia johnson camel print shawl/scarf

my schlep-it-all everyday bag, the dunlin medium lafayette in croco-embossed leather

        

i call this my superhero leather jacket - if there was one piece in my closet that gives me instant confidence, it would be my yaya aflalo leather jacket (yes, it's modeled after Rick Owens' iconic leather jacket...i'm saving up my pennies for a RO jacket one day...)

and finally, last but not least...my wendy nichol kyung bolt stud earrings - without a pair of earrings i don't quite feel dressed. these are my go-to weekday favorites - witty and classic, and just a little tough :)

edit: check out anabela's, wonderfelle's and nanashi's favorite things :)
