In the past years, my style has evolved and I’ve slowly whittled down my closet to only include pieces that I absolutely love. I’ve learned a lot during this wardrobe journey and have grown more confident in investing in classic, quality pieces that will be in my closet for years to come.
With a minimal wardrobe, it’s often the special details of a garment that elevate an outfit and make it feel unique. Today, I’m excited to share with you one of my favourite ethical fashion brands whose pieces always incorporate the most lovely design elements: SKYE.*
SKYE is a young San Fransisco-based brand that focuses on creating modern, minimal womenswear. You can read more about SKYE’s vision and story here. They are committed to ethical and sustainable manufacturing practices and their pieces are either produced in limited quantities or are made to order.
SKYE kindly sent me the Eloise Side Tie Top* from their spring/summer collection and I’ve been wearing it on repeat since it arrived (in a beautiful box if I might add – I’m always a sucker for thoughtful packaging!).
SKYE also sent me two pieces from their beautiful new jewelry collection – the Orion 16K Gold Earrings* and Malia 18K Gold Coin Necklace.* Both of these handcrafted designs have gorgeous detailing and I’m sure I’ll be wearing these quality pieces for years to come. I’m particularly excited about the gold earrings as I have never before owned hoops. Love that they are such a classic shape but that the structured texture makes them feel unique. I’m currently hosting a giveaway on my Instagram for a pair of these earrings (contest closes Aug. 14 at 5 pm EST); head on over to my Instagram to enter!
Today, I thought I’d share with you some of my favourite ways to wear these new pieces.
The Eloise Side Tie Top is perfect for warm weather and has quickly filled the vacant spot in my wardrobe for the perfect white T-shirt. As with so many of SKYE’s designs, the details of this top make it unique and such a versatile staple within my curated wardrobe. It can be worn both with the V-neck at the front or at the back, and the elegant side knot makes this top feel special.
For reference, I went with my regular size small in this top and it fits great. It pairs well with so many items in my closet; below, are some of my favourite combinations.
Paired with my black, high-waisted Everlane skinny jeans and clogs.
With denim shorts and my favourite flats.
Layered over a little black dress and paired with my VEJA sneakers.
Dressed up for date night with these culottes and heels – both pieces that have been in my wardrobe for years.
