Hi friends – you might say it’s been a while since I last blogged – a full three months to be exact. Life has been particularly hectic, not leaving a lot of time for outfit planning, let alone actually BLOGGING about looks. But I do know that when I’m not blogging regularly, I really do MISS it; the creativity that flows from thinking about pieces I have and love and how to style them and the ability to express myself using both fashion AND words – those are all the things I love about blogging.
So I am trying to get back into things without putting pressure on myself, with the intent of blogging when I feel like it, filming Reels when it works for me, and posting what I want, when I want on my platforms. With this in mind, I’m sharing a coupe of recent outfits I’ve loved and some details on a fabulous discount code I’m able to pass on to all of you.
First up is this easy look that I only had a chance to capture through mirror selfie in between meetings one day. This combo of a super soft button front cardigan and cropped jeans (which I cropped myself – more on that in a minute) screams classic style – the type of outfit I’d see on one of my favourite influencers, Lilly DeMello. The neutral shades and simple accessories are part of what makes this so classic – it’s not overpowered by too many accessories or too many layers. Just a simple cami underneath and some flats (which only worked this day because I wasn’t leaving the house – damn you winter!).
I have a really hard time finding cropped straight-leg jeans that work for me, so I’ve tended to create my own to get the exact look I want. These jeans actually started out as bootcut jeans, but I cut about four inches off the bottom to create a cropped straight leg look. I pulled a few of the threads out, but mostly let the washing machine do the work of fraying the edges perfectly. I did the same with a light denim pair in the summer and wore them constantly because they were so comfortable and very on trend. Maybe someday I’ll find the right cropped jeans off the rack, but until then, this will do just fine.

The second look I’m loving lately is this oversized striped sweater (I know, so unlike me) and faux leather leggings outfit. I found this sweater when I wasn’t planning on shopping at all, but as soon as I saw it, I knew I needed to have it. In my defence, while I DO have a lot of striped sweaters, usually they are cream or white with a black stripe, instead of black with a white stripe, so I definitely needed it. I went with my normal size (M) and it’s perfectly oversized without being overwhelming. While it will look great with jeans, I love that the length is perfect for leggings.
Of course, many of you probably know that my favourite faux leather leggings are the ones from Spanx, and while they are a favourite of all bloggers/influencers it seems, it’s truly for a good reason. They look and feel amazing on and can be styled so many ways! I’ve dressed mine up and also worn them with sweatshirts – regardless of what’s with them, they just look polished. The good news is that my friends at Spanx have been kind enough to share a discount code you can use to get 10% off your total order PLUS free shipping, whether you’re shopping from the US or Canada or abroad! Use code EMILYHXSPANX to save on my fave leggings or any of their other styles (I have a few other pieces on the way as we speak!).
What do you think of these looks? Let me know in the comments below. They may not be ground-breaking, but they’re definitely classic and that’s what my style is all about these days.
