What I will be wearing in 2025

One of my most worn and favorite essential fashion item of all time is a white tee. It never ceases to inspire me with a new way to style it. 

I've been reveling in tennis-inspired outfits lately, which was all the rage in 2024, but the one style that I feel I can continue with in 2025 and beyond is the "sweater vest" over a white tee look. It not only looks fashionably edgy, but is super comfortable and makes sense when the weather is cool, but you don't want to commit to a full stuffy sweater. 

The inspiration from 2024:

Things I'm digging lately:

1. Nivea A Kiss of Care & Color in Sheer Coral (~$4.49): I can't live without my Nivea A Kiss of Milk & Honey Lip Balm. So luckily, this Care & Color formula is similar to my Milk & Honey. It has the same baby-powder smell but with an added minty menthol kick (which I don't care for too much). The good thing is that it does give a nice coral color to my lips and a bit of a sheen. The texture feels exactly like my beloved Milk & Honey, except the cooling effect from the menthol, and I find myself having to apply more of it throughout the day to maintain the color and moisturizing effect. Despite all that, I've been using this more than any of my lipsticks because the sheer color looks much more natural on me. I'm all for no fuss, natural lips right now!

2. The Tennis Sweater: speaking of clothing items that "look good on camera", the tennis sweater is definitely one of them. The white knit with the bold navy V-neck as seen on Olivia Wilde on the cover of Lucky May 2014 issue was gorgeous! I've also seen this same sweater on the stylish Atlantic-Pacific several times. Here's some interesting tidbits about the tennis sweater on The Gentleman's Gazette.
