Ok, I confess. I followed you on IG for a long time and really hesitated to sign up for this Substack, but I'm so glad I did. Love it! This is a great post. If one outfit doesn't work for me, another does and pretty soon I see how I can make it work with what I have in my closet rather than go on a shopping trip. Even better, you wear clothing across so many price points. I'm really coming to despise the bloggers who show you nothing but Bottega, The Row, Khaite etc. All good, but who wears that all the time? Thank you, Leandra!
Thank you for this Kim! im so glad you’re happy to be here, and especially that you feel motivated to make outfits in your own wardrobe. That is really the whole point of this exercise/project 🦋
I love how you distill trends and bring them into real life - super fun and inspiring🥰 This post had me digging around my closet with zest - only problem now is bending my arms with all the sleeve layers😂 I have a renewed fondness for the vests I'd otherwise gotten a bit tired of... Thank you for all your work😘
Thank you so much for this post, Leandra. All those wonderful layers make me want to dive right into my closet and start making my own combinations. You are the best!
The hoodie I’m wearing isn’t toteme! It’s from a brand called Ven store that sadly closed last year. But if I were the wearing the toteme hoodie, my guess is I’d be in an XS.
Hello, new & excited subscriber here! I would LOVE to know where the brown/hazelnut sunglasses are from with the jacket with birds and also the double denim outfit (same pair, just don't know where from) in this article/post (not sure what the lingo is yet)? Thanking you in advance and can't wait to keep feeling inspired by you Xx
Welcome aboard!!! Those sunglasses are Oliver Peoples. I found them on the real real last winter! If I encounter another pair, will dutifully ping you.
Naw. Big thanks on the warm welcome & sunnies info- they look v similar to a pair I’m chasing but I don’t think they’re OP, drats. Anyway, side tangent- can you recommend re an everyday perfume/scent?
I'm a bit late to this post but I am obsessing about the Valentino red shoes again! (I loved them when they first came out a few years back). I found them in my size on Vestiaire but just wondering how comfortable/uncomfortable they are, before I pull the trigger?
The SHIRT 🥪. Brilliant. Have been close to ditching some of my tissue t-Necks .. bc the big busted-broad-shouldered-blonde in Turtle-neck can read vedddddy ICe StORM or early Cybill shepherd 😂😂😂. In LA yet remain #constantlyfreezing so tomorrow I try the t-neck under blouse under polo neck sweater under jacket.
Haha yes.. today I overloaded.. Black toteme t-neck w old chambray & ivory large cashmere sweater over ivory jeans .. jeans too oversized .. so that looked nutty
Did a zoom call w the clerical “top” & then into painting/wreckage stuff for Art afternoon..
tomorrow I try the t & the crew .. no Jean Jackets on this coast w me so Bode custom cord over the TT duo. TBContinued
Leandra, I love when we get an inside peak into some of your process!!! It’s so refreshing to hear where the queen (of my inspo) looks for her inspo xx

Absolutely love this!! I’m so inspired to explore these ideas in my closet!! ❤️

And THIS is why you are the QUEEN...aplomb, baby. APLOMB:)))😬💥
Glad to know U
Love your post! I am wondering what size hoodie from Toteme you are wearing.

Ven. I keep all my pieces in their own drawer. In the VEN bags. Boooo-hooooo
Ven store close?! Had no idea 😭
I know, it left a real hole in the consciousness of my winter basics :(

These are fantastic looks; however, they remind me a little of two Halloweens ago, when I dressed up as Steve Bannon.
I see myself coming back to this post every day to inspire myself to rediscover my wardrobe!!
This is your greatest creation since the arm party

So excellent.
And.. yes
Red button down elusive
And why is TRR calling it a “button 🆙 ?
Hilarious
t-neck with crew neck and jean jacket then trench seems like its calling to you in la!!
Oh! Also tried & tossed aside many thin Donni cotton layers I jammed over that toteme 😂😂😂
Like a Velcro situation (thin over thin-but-still-thicker 😂
