90% of my face
I don’t recommend putting on an episode of 20/20 to lull you to sleep. Sometimes the stories are actually creepy, and the way the ABC reporters dramatically speak is so vexing that you can’t fall asleep and wind up watching the entire episode. Which makes waking up on a Monday morning to drag one’s ass to the gym all the more challenging.
The Somewhat Samurai outfit
Cloche knit hat
Headshots cap
This knit bucket hat feels more like a cloche hat, so that’s what I’m going to call it. It’s so huge that without the support of a cap underneath it will cover 90% of my face. Not sure if it’s a good look, but it keeps my head warm and in a stretch of the imagination it reminds me of a minimal kabuto. And you know I’d wear a samurai helmet if I could find the perfect one in glossy black metal with wings.
Skingraft gloves
I try not to plainly wear a button-up shirt. Instead of tying on a silk scarf, I opted to add fingerless leather gloves, which subtly turned the top on its head. It looks less effortful with long sleeves; if I wore the gloves with a t-shirt, I risk looking like a fingerless midlife crisis.
Prada Brique bag
LeSportsac shiny crossbody
First time I’ve used the LeSportsac as a work bag. My Macbook fits perfectly inside.
Nike waffle sneakers
The last item I bought in Dover Street Market in NYC. There’s some sort of history / edition detail on the footbed, but to me these are your standard waffle trainers in a nice mesh fabrication. My favorite type of Nikes.
Henrik Vibskov box coat
There’s no getting around the volume of this coat. I was smart to pair with small shoes, small bag, long strap. It feels like wearing an art student’s senior project to work.
