Closet Envy: Blake Scotland

Closet Envy: Blake Scotland

“I’d say this outfit is very representative of my personal style – a mix of rough and smooth. That has never been deliberate or at the front of my mind, but I feel it when the right balance is achieved.”

“And yeah, I’m definitely a jeans person.”

“I keep my basics really simple so that I can accessorize with things that are fun and different. I edit my wardrobe down to a few pieces and rotate it by adding fun, unique, and different accessories.”

“Retro Superfuture sunglasses are one of my favorite brands. We chose to carry them in the store for a few reasons. The price point is fantastic – they compete with Ray Bans in the $120 to $200 range – and the quality is exceptional. Hand made in Italy!”

“Obviously, silly bands started as a childish trend but there’s something about it that really resonates with me. I love meeting new people and gifting or exchanging them. There are a few that make me laugh every time I look at it because I remember the person or circumstances under which I acquired them.”

“I wear everything I own – often. After working consistently with clothes, I enjoy the ease of repetition day-to-day, like a uniform.”

“I’d wear this on an average night out for dinner and drinks.”

“I subconsciously roll my shirt and pant hems up. I guess I like my forearms free!”

“I rarely wear color – typically it’s just denim, black, grey, or white. But the fit of the dress was perfect and the ruching makes it surprisingly forgiving”

“Fortune Favors the Brave is a contemporary jewelry line with Southwestern-influenced pieces. It really fits well with the aesthetic of the store.”

“If an outfit requires a belt I’ll wear this one. It toughens up anything that’s too gentle or feminine.”

Closet Envy: Blake Scotland

“I was drawn to the unique pattern of these shoes. I worried it would restrict my ability to wear them as often as I’d want to but it hasn’t.”

“My legs are always out, especially in the summer months. I rarely wear short shorts but I usually pair it with flats or chunky shoes and cover more on top to balance it out.”

“This Givenchy messenger bag is my favorite but I’m partial to the brand. I care about comfort, functionality, and a clean look more than any designer name.”

“The necklace belonged to my great-grandmother. I inherited it when she passed away eight years ago. I’ve worn it almost every day since. And I purchased the rosary from a random jeweler around the corner from the store on Delancey Street in the Lower East Side.”

“They’ve been worn like sneakers for years, survived countless nightclubs and festivals. I haven’t seen this style anywhere else. It was really difficult to find and I searched on-line for days.”

Closet Envy: Blake Scotland

Scotland Style

“This is just a fun example of something I’d wear every day. The dress is from our vintage rack – the store’s always carried a small section of vintage. It’s a nice complement to throw vintage into the mix of otherwise all contemporary designers and definitely reflective of how I dress.”

Closet Envy: Blake Scotland

“One Teaspoon clothing tends to have more of a distressed, unfinished look. This is something that Australian designers do really well. Seams and hems are left unsewn and I like that. Their pieces are functional and never fussy.”

“A shape to complement anyone’s style and face shape. Can’t beat it.”

Closet Envy: Blake Scotland

“I got this bag from Selfridges, which was by far my favorite store in London. An example of exceptional branding – it’s not your grandmother’s department store.”

“The shoes wouldn’t be ideal for work but I usually have a pretty easy time with heels. I’ve heard that women walk differently in them and I think that’s true. I feel more feminine, confident, and mischievous.”
