May 2025 Outfits

Month five of not buying anything new & still loving my closet.

May brought warmer days, longer light, and lots of denim (surprise, surprise). As part of my 2025 “No Buy”, I kept leaning into the pieces I already love — mixing and matching familiar favorites in new ways, and finding fresh inspiration in repetition. With travel, events, and everyday life all woven through the month, this calendar of outfits proves (once again) that a well-edited wardrobe can go the distance.

Here’s a look at everything I wore in May:

And perhaps most importantly, here are the outfits that really stood out for me this month and I loved the most…

I love the elevated ease of this look!

My vintage USMC sweatshirt is the PERFECT shade of green.

Double denim! Always love it.

My most classic outfit this month — I really like how the belt finished the look.

This dress is old from La Ligne and I love the dusty olive color paired with warm browns.

A moment of appreciation for this mullet outfit — business in the front, party in the back.

The simplicity of monochrome, made interesting with shape and texture.

Layered browns!

So simple but it always works. When in doubt, a tank + jeans is my go-to.
