The Look of Lived In

That cozy cardie, the perfectly washed and faded jeans, the softened worn-in tee, the unstructured motorcycle jacket that rests on your shoulders just so. These are just a few of the items that constitute all-time closet favorites, easy breezy weekend-wear, the best travel clothes, and overall, items that you gravitate to in your wardrobe, time after time. Gap’s new “Lived In” collection is synonymous with the look and feel of items that encapsulate this aesthetic, looking and feeling like you’ve owned them for an infinite amount of time, and they’ve yielded to your body’s fit needs and style desires.

Hooray! I love these kind of pieces, and a Gap leather bomber jacket, which I can recall that I bought sometime during the start of college is still in heavy rotation in my wardrobe, and luckily, I can continue along this motif with some new pieces from the new iteration of  “Lived In”. Happening this month, “Lived In” is exactly what you’ve come to love about the way Gap garments wear, however, with a dose of instant gratification. The pieces aren’t tied down to a particular season, but resonate more with a feeling, a state of mind about dressing and looking effortlessly stylish.

Thanks to The Vogue Influencer Network and Gap, I’m rocking the Horizontal Stripe Shirt in White and the 1969 Deconstructed Sexy Boyfriend Jean in Petite and Marengo Wash (no longer available; see similar, here) in this look, with a few other pieces from my wardrobe that I consider to also convey the same kind of vibe. I’m loving the sexy slouch of the jeans, “worn in” in all the right places, and skimming the leg at the proper point to show off my Bordeaux – hued booties.  And for my shirt?  A well-fitted white oxford is the epitome of sophistication and versatility. Enough said!

Celebrate what it means to be lived in with me, and find your soon-to-be closet staple, here! (p.s. – have you tried Reserve In Store yet? It’s AWESOME- I use it all the time- get the deets, here)
