Out and about | New York City, NY | September 8, 2023

Foundrae ‘Sister Hook Choker’ – $6,365.00
Foundrae ‘Forever & Always A Pair Oval Pendant’ – $1,450.00
Sandy Liang ‘Paris Skort’ – $625.00
Louis Vuitton ‘Camera Box Bag’ – $3,450.00
Gucci ‘Half Horsebit Almond Toe Boots’ – $905.42

One thing I love about this outfit is the tension of shapes and textures. The soft, angular swoop of her asymmetric top, knife pleats of her skort, and the sharp boxy lines of her LV camera bag all create certain, strong lines. These all work in direct contrast to the mussed, textured curls we see here that prevent it all from being too put together and polished.

I’m not one to look a gift skort in the mouth, so I won’t be reading into the “Paris” Easter Egg of it all. Especially one as chic as this. Any outfit defined by some sharp pleats and black is perfect in my books.

Let us instead admire how the confidence of an inner pair of shorts has given us all the gift of Taylor’s killer legs thanks to short hemlines.

If I had to, and could, copy and paste an outfit in its entirety on my body from recent Taylor history – it would be this one. At my core, I’m a girl who loves neutrals and polish served with a side of edge. And you all know I’m a proponent of the sandwich style (that is, to match two elements of an outfit between a contrasting colour).

Just add a blazer and we’re golden.

Attending Jack Antonoff’s wedding | Beach Haven, NJ | August 19, 2023

Larkspur & Hawk ‘Olivia Button Earrings’ – $1,200.00
Cartier ‘Agrafe Herringbone Twisted Necklace’ – $27,250.00
Erdem ‘Melora Ruffled Lace Corset Dress’ – $3,935.00 $1,967.00
Jacquie Aiche ‘Rose Cut Round + Marquise Finger Bracelet’ – $7,600.00
Gucci ‘Crystal Kid Scamosciato Mallory Slingback Sandals’ – sold out

What one can guess is the ceremony day, Taylor opted for a beautiful pale blue dress by Erdem. This feels like a vamped up daytime continuation of the lace two piece from the night prior. Adding a bit more length and replacing a scalloped hemline with a similarly textured ruffle detail is an A+ lesson in styling for the slideshow and building recognizable, repetitive motifs. Note to wedding guests if you need to plan multiple lewks over the course of a wedding weekend. This particular dress also maintains some sultry energy thanks to the moulded bustier-like cups and fitted bodice.

On the accessory front, to know me is to know I’m a fan of strappy, minimalist sandals. These ‘Scamosciato Mallory’ slingbacks are that while also being fun thanks to the crystal embellishments. Extra applause for going tonal with her accessories for a cohesive look.

Out w/ Jake Gyllenhaal | New York City, NY | November 25, 2010

Gucci ‘Unisex 100% Wool Striped Scarf’ – no longer available

Quite possibly Taylor’s most famous accessory, noted in her scorching ballad “All Too Well”.

The search for this scarf – and the requests for it – was renewed when Taylor announced RED (Taylor’s Version) was coming in November 2021.

And I’m happy to say: It’s been found! AT LAST.

Get the look: Banana Republic, $46.99

“willow” music video | December 11, 2020 

Gucci ‘Liberty Floral Print Maxi Dress’ – $5,900.00

While this dress is obviously a little more prairie and old-fashioned than my personal preference, it obviously fits the theme of the music video itself incredibly well and it’s an absolute joy to see her in other brands again. 

And also, of course, greeeeeeeeeeeeeeen 

Get the look: ASOS, $51.10
