Weekly Recap #37, 2024

Been working nonstop this week on my rebrand and am so excited that it’s finally here!! Today’s cover photo was one of my attempts for a new profile pic—too sunny but I thought it was cute enough to share anyway. I wanted to wear something neutral for my profile pic but not too casual, so I decided on this chic denim button-down dress that I thrifted a few years back.

I just wanted something casual today for work-from-home but tried to spice the outfit up a little with this hair scarf that I rediscovered in my closet my last week.

Pink Tee: Old Navy, $8 ($1.33 per wear) | Denim Shorts: JCPenney, $22 ($4.40 per wear) | Sandals: Hand-me-down | Scarf: Craft fair, $20 ($1.33 per wear), last worn here

Figured I’d dress up a little for the office today! I need to wear this blazer way more often—the cost per wear is really high. I usually associate this floral blouse with spring but think it paired perfectly with the oversized blazer for a fall transitional outfit.

Floral Blouse: Kohl’s, $20 ($2.00 per wear), last worn here | Blazer: Clara Sunwoo, gifted for collaboration, $215 ($107.50 per wear), last worn here | Jeans: Express, $25 ($0.47 per wear), last worn here | Beige Flats: Nordstrom Rack, $40 ($0.70 per wear), last worn here

Today’s outfit stemmed from my greasy hair—I wanted to cover my hair with a headband, which led me to this printed reversible headband, which led me to a black and yellow color scheme, which led me to these pants. In hindsight, I don’t love the outfit, but I think it’s just because I felt gross and slimy and should have washed my hair!!

Black Mock-Neck Top: JCpenney, $11 ($0.26 per wear), last worn here | Printed Pants: Clara Sunwoo, gifted for collaboration, $135 ($45 per wear), last worn here | Black Sandals: Macy’s, $28 ($0.64 per wear), last worn here

I cannot for the life of me remember what I wore or did today. I think I must have worked from home (unusual for me on a Thursday) because I don’t have an outfit pic or anything—which probably means I just wore a tee and athletic shorts! The last several days were a complete blur as I hustled to complete my rebrand in time.

Another work-from-home day spent in athletic clothes. My boyfriend and I decided to hit the driving range after work, which was much needed—I was frustrated about a couple of WordPress things and it felt so good to swing out the anger, ha!

I spent all day today working on my website and ventured out a couple of times in the denim dress to try to get a new profile pic. I changed into this casual heart print dress with sneakers for a quick trip to the grocery store (the bodycon and heels of the other outfit just didn’t feel appropriate, ya know?).

Okay, so I didn’t actually get dressed today… But I saw a TikTok this week with a super cute outfit that I wanted to try recreating myself, so I figured I would share the results here (cost per wear details below are from the last time I wore each of these items—I didn’t actually update the spreadsheet with today’s outfit since I didn’t wear it out!).

I’ve been seeing lots of fall outfits this season with white, and the long-sweater-over-a-miniskirt look is still going strong from last year. Both of these trends I love! But sadly, I think this outfit just missed the mark. For just using pieces already in my closet, it’s a pretty close recreation, but I think the fit of my pieces is a little off—it’s just not a very flattering combo on me. It was still super fun to try, though!

Sweater: Clara Sunwoo, gifted for collaboration, $149 ($14.90 per wear), last worn here | White Skirt: JCPenney, $20 ($2.00 per wear), last worn here | Black Boots: Clarks via DSW, $100 ($0.75 per wear), last worn here

. . . . .

What do you think of the TikTok recreation outfit? It almost looks cute in this pic but I think in-person it just wasn’t right.

Miles of smiles,
Grace

I think that Sunday recreation is very fun! I think it is interesting that you still do cost per wear for gifted items: it really helps one figure out whether they would actually buy the items for the price. I have some that definitely would have a really high cost per wear but my liquid leather pants would not be too bad since I wear them a lot in the fall and winter.

  Definitely! It’s helped me get better at knowing what kinds of collabs to take. Even though the prices might be more expensive, there are some things I know I will wear a ton so it’s worth it.
