This is a perfect example of a ‘research casual’ look for me, for weekends or on weekdays without teaching duties. Comfortable jeans and flats, a soft tee or worn-in button down, and some types of layers depending on the temperature. The warmer summer version being something like this or this. I also love the hoodie under the blazer look, as demonstrated by the super stylish remixer ‘Dolofe‘ below:
But I realized that I only have one hoodie here and it’s without a front closure and much too warm for what I needed now. So I improvised by layering a 3/4 sleeve button down over my concert t-shirt and under the pinstripe blazer. This allows for a little more breathing room than a pullover sweatshirt while still adding that extra bit of warmth that this outfit requires.

Oh I really like this. I would have never thought about the open button down, but I really love this!
Dolofe is so cute. i wish she had a blog because I would stalk her as well.
Research casual – skinny jeans, long top, ballet flats. Hair tied to a messy bun.
Been super busy so I’ve had to do a massive scroll back…
1. yeah you got a camera!
2. hoodies under jackets are my new favourite thing.
3. the article about the cultural signifigance of what we wear was very eye opening. I also don’t agree with the author’s hard stance but it is going to make me think differently.
okay, this is super belated, but thanks so much for the mention! i think i got the layered hoodie idea from a j.crew catalog…probably right after a shorts and parka combination. :)
