Lately I've found myself reaching for the same kinds of clothes over and over again. Since I picked up these Bassike track pants ages ago - a complete impulse purchase, but how they have proved their worth - I pretty much haven't stopped wearing them, especially with my favourite no-name sweater and my Amy Kaehne coat now that the temperatures have sufficiently dropped. Adding this loop-de-loop Benah cashmere scarf is another cold weather coping mechanism. I love how you don't have to worry about ends flying everywhere (always a cautionary tale for me, who can trip over anything). You can even twist it a third time to be extra cosy. But the newest edition to this uniform is something quite different. When I first saw this Samma ear cuff from My Chameleon something just clicked in my head. Often my favourite pieces in my wardrobe are things that I didn't even have to think twice about - those Bassike track pants and this oatmeal sweater are two very good examples of that. And let's add the Samma ear cuff to this growing list. It's not something that I would normally go for, but there's something about that unexpected flash of gold as I tuck my hair behind my ears. It's no Repossi ear cuff, but it's got a certain kind of understated charm that is all it's own. And I'm addicted! I don't think I'm ever going to take it off.

Oh my God, this is the spitting image of my everyday outfits! So versatile and effortless, yet it works every time.
This is so great, I am so in love with your coat!
Exact same outfit I've been alternating the past few weeks... Amy Kaehne wrap coat, vanessa bruno beige sweater and comfy bottoms! Love how you're wearing that coat :)
That earring looks fantastic! You look great!
Totally revised my opinion of trackies. May have ookmarked that Bassike pair for pay day...
You look so happy to be wearing layers! And the coat looks amazing x
I love it when impulse purchases turn into things you wear forever. I work for a cashmere specialist, once you start wearing cashmere there's no going back! So cosy.
Wow, really cool ear cuff! I love the coat as well!
Love the oversized cardi and scarf. Great casual uniform!

Hannah - trackies are DA BOMB. too good, and so comfy, and so easy to wear, and they just look good with everything, and I'll be damned if I haven't worn them to everything from uni to fancy birthday dinners to work the past month or so. :)
Charlotte - oh yeahhhh! Could not be happier if I tried haha.
Sophie - Cashmere has been my saviour these past winter weeks. You are so right, after getting my first piece of cashmere - a cosy scarf - I don't think I could ever just wear plain wool again. I'm hoping to get a cashmere sweater sometime soon..
heart in a cage - thanks - I love it! The coat is my favourite thing.
LRB - thank you, it's so easy to wear!
