Everything I Wore This Week
Have I got heatwave dressing nailed?
Struggling with what to wear? Each week, I share my daily outfits to give you fresh ideas, easy outfit formulas, and inspiration to make the most of your wardrobe. Paid subscribers get full access to all my looks, posted every Sunday evening.
MONDAY
We took the rest of the week off work - so prepare yourselves for some v.casual looks - but on Monday, I spent the day tying up some loose ends. It’s truly amazing what you can do when you’re on a time crunch. I really didn’t want to leave my Substack readers high and dry for the week, so I managed to put the finishing touches on three posts (A wardrobe audit! Summer layering ideas! And my usual Style Edit for the week!) and tried to schedule bits to go live on IG too. I unsurprisingly spent the majority of the day on my laptop, but to pop to the shops, I threw on a nice bag to punch up this oversized on oversized look I had on for the day, which was a dream for WFH in terms of the comfort factor. The T-shirt is one of my favourites from St Agni last summer, and sadly, it's long gone. It’s a 100% linen tee that has the perfect amount of drape to it, but this one* looks exactly the same.
How to Make Summer Dressing More Interesting: The Art of Layering
It’s hot, you’re bothered, and you’re also bored with what’s hanging in your wardrobe. It’s ok! It happens! Summer is a tricky ol’ beast when it comes to styling.

TUESDAY
We were originally booked to spend Monday to Thursday in an Unplugged cabin (we stayed at Basil), but due to childcare, bad weather and the chance to get a little bit more work done, we decided to head there on Tuesday instead. Think chill vibes. A petite cabin in the woods with the chance to literally switch off. I spent the whole day reading and devoured ‘Three Days in June’ by Anne Tyler* in one sitting (highly recommend!). So, for that, I wanted ease and turned to two newer items in my wardrobe. Good news - Alyssa confirmed that the DONNI Gingham Trousers* will be back for pre-order August/September (although Melissa found a GREAT DUPE* in the chat - thanks Melissa!). And I know I keep going on about the summer version of the Margo tee*, but the minute it comes back out of the wash, it’s back on my body again.
This week’s post is basically a scrapbook/diary mash-up of what I’ve been up to during this absolute heatwave of a week. Of course, there are outfits (six more of them!), and some musings on what makes a ‘good’ week style-wise. But there are also two VERY good summer BBQ dessert recipes, more book recs, foodie stuff and a workout class/errand day formula to borrow. There’s SO much more down here 👇
