Closet Essentials

If you had the chance to look in Dee’s closet, what pieces would you find? I asked her to give me a sneak peek into her closet, and together, we photographed a few of her essential favorites.

As a stylist, I think she dresses fashionably all the time, with a unique signature. As we know, Dee has a distinctive style that is inspiring many women on her IG stories. The way she combines colors, prints, styles, etc, is very much “AndBloom”. And how she dresses is one of the things that make her the woman that she is, giving her signature to the project. She likes her “bloomers” dressed in the same “Eclectic” style for the portraits. She is not afraid to mix and match, and she is very creative in doing so.


TRACKSUIT

I would describe Dee’s style as “Eclectic,” a mix of different styles combined and always with a cool and modern twist. Dee also indicates that combining different styles keeps her “sense of fashion” fun every day without getting boring.

Tracksuit: Uniqlo

Sneakers: Nike


“It is about time that we move away from what we can or cannot wear above 40. Fashion is fun; if you feel good about it, you should wear it.”


JUMPSUIT

I think that a combination of different styles is what makes Dee’s style so inspiring. It is what makes her wardrobe so diverse and it is also fun for her to play with her closet that way.

You can wear a jumpsuit in different ways. Dee likes them casual and loose fit. And a denim jumpsuit never goes out of style.

Juimsuit: Ganni



BLAZER

How to style a blazer can seem simple as they are a wardrobe essential, Dee likes to style them with an easygoing sweater and jeans.

Blazer: Zara

Sweater: 74thAvenue

Jeans: Zara


Dee: “I always buy my jumpsuits and maxi dresses 1 or 2 sizes too big.”


MAXI DRESS

She knows what she likes and what looks good on her. What is important too is that she only wears what makes her happy. I am convinced that it is clear to a woman when she is wearing something that makes her feel and look happy.

Dress: Zara

Sandals: Birkenstock


VINTAGE KIMONO

Dee traveled extensively for her modeling work when she was young and later on as a photographer. During these trips, she collected beautiful interior and fashion finds, such as this vintage kimono from Tokyo. Nice in combination with a tracksuit and a pair of Converse.

Kimono: vintage

Track Suit: Uniqlo

Sneakers: Converse


Dee: “Wearing the same style every day is not for me. One day I fancy a dress and the next day ripped jeans with a simple t-shirt.”


RIPPED JEANS

Today we highlight and photograph Dee’s favorite basic closet essentials. It’s always nice to have some basics in the closet. You can combine this super with other styles or wear if you have not seen much for a day.

Remember that fashion is fun and you can play with your own style as much as you want.

With Love,

Dayenne

Jeans: Zara
