The Minimal Brunette

I currently have three Everlane cashmere sweaters in my cart. Two of them are black — laugh out loud, amirite? I already own one Everlane cashmere sweater —the black crewneck cashmere crop sweater in a size Medium, and I swear it's the best sweater in my closet. I've put this in the washing machine by accident and it's still amazing. I use the Laundress's cashmere brush on it to de-pile it and it holds up so well. But I'm thinking it's time to invest in more than one sweater I wear two to three times a week.

Now that Everlane cashmere sweaters are $100 I'm hoping that the quality is still good enough to warrant me ordering three this week. (Please be the same quality, please, please!)

Also, seeing this editorial from The Line with Saskia de Brauw just makes this all make so much sense right now. I want to be this gamine minimalist, with the quirky attitude and the tailored clothing for frigid office environments.

What's holding me back from pulling the trigger on said sweater? Money.
I'm debt free, but that doesn't mean I don't budget still. Next week they are mine!

I shall report back on quality. 

Basic. Like, In the Offensive Way.

No earrings, no makeup. Just your clothes, accessories, and enough narcissism to capture even this most basic outfit and moment. Let me tell you something you already know: Sometimes you just need to get dressed quickly to go to Ikea or go pick up Lanesplitter pizza so you can continue enjoying the laziest do-absolutely-nothing weekend. When this is the case, you'll find me wearing an iteration of this; baggy jeans, whatever flats I happen upon first, and sunglasses instead of makeup. Why I brought the camera to capture it? Maybe it's because I wanted to show you my realness, like "Look how anti-NYFW I am right now lol #amirite?"

Or maybe I just forgot my camera was in my bag the entire time and figured my blog is part diary anyway, which means it's a trail mix of my life's outfits. Some of them are rich delicious salty cashews, some of them are basic raisins which are essential I guess, but not everyone's favorite and certainly not worth writing about. (But I am).
