A Week in Outfits: February
What I wore and how I felt about it.
A Week in Outfits is a series where I round up a week's worth of looks from the past month, along with styling notes and personal reflections. If you want to see these outfits in action, I share outfit videos on TikTok.
I started the year feeling completely out of sorts. A nasty fall left me with a fractured shoulder, and for weeks, getting dressed was a struggle. On top of that, I was in the middle of rebuilding my capsule wardrobe, which only made things worse.
After months of decluttering unwanted items and thrifting "new" ones, I’ve finally got my wardrobe back to where I want it. Everything I let go of has been sold on Vinted, and now 75% of my wardrobe is thrifted—a milestone I’m really happy with.
Everything I wear feels so much more like me. There’s nothing I’m forcing myself to make work while I wait for a replacement, and because of that, February was the first time in a long while that I’ve really enjoyed getting dressed. (And it turns out my monochrome outfits are very on trend!)
I’ve also been trying out a few perfumes to pair with my mini-capsules for spring—the first two are linked here and here. I wore them throughout February to see how they complement my wardrobe, and they’ve definitely put me in the mood for warmer weather.
What I Wore in February
My wardrobe is mostly thrifted—a mix of vintage, second-hand fast fashion, ethical brands, and indie labels. I’ve linked similar items where possible.

I don’t know you but I feel like your outfits LOOK like you, if that makes sense—definitely a compliment, hope that comes through! Question: how do you feel like your hair and your glasses contribute to your style? I’m starting to question my own hair at the moment.
