Wardrobe updates that feel stylish

... but aren't micro-trend cringe

We had a great chat about micro-trends on IG this week and so many of you have been feeling similar to me: exhausted with it. Micro-trends make us feel irrelevant just out of style. They are impossible to keep up with and I’m just a big no on them. I get it, we want to feel ‘with it’. I now I do like a little wardrobe update. But I also know that I’m not dumping my money into a never ending cycle of never feeling good enough and looking like everyone else. I love personal style and following people whose opinion and taste I trust - I hope to do that with this post, to give you a little fashion curation of the on-trend basics I have recently added to my rotation to freshen things up. Some that I have had in rotation for ages, yet still do the trick. And some take me back to grade 7, like the fabric headbands in the pic I juuust snapped for you above. Also, it hides grey roots and second day hair like a charm.

Loafers - current faves that look like the super high end brands, and these will be a long-term wardrobe staple
Jeans - finally a wide-cut jean that works for my body type
Headbands - these were my grade 7 essential and I love them now, too. Very trendy but feels so me
Earrings - H&M has great low-cost trend pieces, and these chunky earrings are the look with my stretchy headbands
Leopard top - I’ve been reaching for this non-stop. It works for so many things.
Lounge pants - not a trend, just an essential I’ve been living in
Linen blend pants - I love these for all year round, can’t live without my multiple pairs

xx, Erin
