My spare

After a long weekend away with I&I, spent hiking and being more suburban than usual, I needed a return to (uni)form. Perfect attire for a productive day light on meetings, followed by dinner at Chez CPK.

The Back to the City outfit

Prada wool jacket

Fitting that I wore this jacket (purchased in England), as I’ve been WhatsApping with Ketchup and Syco today to discuss high tea plans for London next month. I might go to high tea 4x as a last hurrah before working in a library to destress.

Churro cap
Mumami tiger scarf

Can’t believe this is the first time I’ve paired these two together. I loved this combo. I don’t care if the colors and lines are too matchy-matchy. This combo made me feel aptly styled.

Prada chelsea brogue

Starting off a new week with rubberized polish. I need to learn to love these—well, all—shoes that I own, to stave off the urge to buy the new Prada moccasins. As MIT famously said, “There will always be another cute thing around the corner,” so I needn’t grab something because it’s shiny and new. Be strong.

Chanel Boy Reverso bag

Chanel Boy bags are super practical, with compartments and pockets that you’d find in any "men’s” bag. I recently thought that I’d left my keys at home, and frantically texted Bob to arrange to pick up my spare. A few hours later I found my keys in one of the pockets of this bag. Sometimes Chanel does too good of a job.
