Closet cravings: seasonal change

 Hi Y’all!

Since my previous closet craving posts, I have aquired a few pieces here and there. You can check it out here. 

That being said, It does not stop me from wanting a few pieces that I hope will bring me joy this season. I am saying this season, because I am hoping for this heat to leave and for the cold to arrive. Sadly, the local meteorlogy agency has just announced that the heat will stay until the end of 2025. 

Classic slacks

I adore pants. I live in them. They are just so practical and go with everything, even dresses. Since Covid, I realized that I have slowly been purchasing wide legged pants for maximum confort. Now my closet is full of them. And as much as I like them, I am missing the structured pants, with button and zipper, and/ or slim ankle. I started looking for them in basic colors like black, grey and brown.

Red shoes 

While cleaning my shoes, I have noticed that I am missing a red pair. I actually do own a pair of red mules but they are high and printed. I only wear them on special occasions. I  also have red and green leather sandals that I regularly wear to run errands. I would like a pair of pointed toe, red patent leather sandals. I could settle for a kitten heel sling back or a suede mule. I just want an elegant pair that I can wear every day.

Vanity bag

Frankly, I have no business buying a bag. I have plenty and some I barely use. But I have been dying to own a vanity bag. I already have a few at home I use for travelling or to store my beauty products. The ones I am craving are made to be worn outside. I would love to have one in a basic color and in leather so I can wear it for years. But I already have bags in basic browns, black, white, beige and gold. What fun colors do you recommend I get this vanity bag in?

White eyeliner 

I am not into make up. I just want to have the basics that will make it easier for me to create simple looks. Recently I saw a reel of a make up  artist /influencer applying white eyeliner inside the lid of his lower eye to make his eyes look bigger. I was blown away. I usually apply Kajol on my eyelid for that mysterious look. But they tend to make my eyes look smaller (they are already small). I have to get myself a white eyeliner just to try the look.

Cotton striped pyjamas

As I mentioned  in a previous post, I am obsessed with matching pyjama sets. I have been eyeing a set in stripped blue and white cotton. I can either go buy it at the shop where I saw them, or ask my tailor to make me one in order to control the quality and the ease to wear. I want something that can transition from Summer to colder months.

Basic one tone maxi dresses

As the heat is still lingering, I find myself wanting to wear easy pieces such as maxi dresses. The ones I own always have some features that make it harder for me to wear them: either they are way too long, or they have ruffles which are hard to iron, or they are in a print and difficult to style. That is why from now on, I just want basic dresses in classic silhouettes, in black, white and even brown. No prints.

Cropped Jackets

This one is really for cold weather. If you have been reading me for a while, you know that I love a good trench coat. The only one I own at the moment is in pastel pink color. I am dying to get my hands on a cropped trench in beige, brown or military green color. It would be even better if it was a normal trench that I can turn into a cropped jacket. The two in one kind.

That is all I am craving for now. I am lying, I have a seperate list that I prepared in anticipation of my birthday. I may or may not publish it on my Instagram just to push my friends to get me what I truly want. Would you be interested in seeing that list as well?
