Free People ‘Emmy Skort’ – $88.00

When you have a piece that has fun details like this asymmetric denim skort (the asymmetry, the waist tie, the fact that it’s a skort lol) I think simpler more streamlined pieces would have let it shine. Now would have been a great time for a cropped piece and some sneakers or minimal sandals.

Worn with: Dôen top, Larkspur & Hawk earrings + Catbird NYC necklace, and GH Bass loafers

Dôen ‘Henri Top in Salt Eyelet’ – $288.00

Tonally, I appreciate everything that’s going on here. White eyelet is such a crisp and natural go-to for summer, especially when paired with any blue denim piece. 

But there’s something proportionally a bit – dare I say – frumpy and fussy about this ‘fit. Perhaps between the ruffles, the drape of the asymmetric hem and tie waist, and the clunk of the oxford mary janes there is just … a lot going on at the moment. Something a little sleeker had to give, imo (though perhaps that’s what she was going for with her hair). My suggestion would have been a higher-waisted bottom and a tuck of this blouse.

Free People ‘Heartbreaker Skort’ – $78.00

Taylor isn’t a stranger to pairing short skirt hemlines with laceup oxfords (and cute socks). She’s been employing combos like this to schoolgirl-esque effect for years (most especially 2010-2011).

But this feels like a more up-to-date take on that pairing here in 2023.

The shirt is slouchier and oversized and notably not tucked in (that effect would have been a bit more prim, imo). The shoes are chunkier, as per current trends. The accessory that throws me most is actually the baseball cap where I would more expect to see Taylor in the similar (but different) fisherman or newsboy cap silhouette.

Overall, I love the cooler-toned blend of colours here, grounded by darker accessories and a very Taylor twist on trends.

Taylor also happened to wear this skirt in black last month – naturally continuing to be a high/low queen.

Patou ‘Le Petit Patou Bag’ – $795.00

I take joy, in equal measure, seeing Taylor rely on tried and true brand favourites as much as I do when she branches out to wear (or carry) new-to-her brands like this one by #Patou.

In terms of colour, I actually like the midtone balance this stone grey bag casts on the rest of her ‘fit (which is already receiving sandwich style coordination from her black baseball cap and black oxfords). Introducing a neutral to bridge the gap between her crisp white button down and other black accessories feels like a good balancing point.

The Row ‘Sisca Shirt’ – $1,817.00

As a personal lover of stripes, this crisp button down really speaks to me. I like how the cooler-toned stripes here correlate neatly with the blue chambray-like quality of her skort.

Malone Souliers ‘Chunky Sole Lace Up Shoes’ – $1,031.00

Taylor has worn many iterations of the laceup oxford flat over the years.

What brings this particular outing into the modern day (or shall I say throwback trend way) is the accessorizing with ruffly, exposed socks and the chunkier, lug sole (her past preference for oxford flats was more streamlined).
