This one belongs here. Because… hello, basketball shorts — an actual new style in my wardrobe. Worn to a long-anticipated visit to Daeji Dough Co., these Abakada shorts (founded and designed by two Filipino friends 🖤🖤) carried the whole energy of the day. Unique, playful, and straight-up easy, they grounded the fit while the other pieces stayed quiet in the best way. Each one subtly strong on its own, but happy to let the shorts lead.

FIT CHK » Tues morning, 65 degrees + raining, going to new korean bakery Daeji Dough Co, Lakeview Chicago

COS shrunken cropped long sleeve tee, Abakada basketball shorts similar here, Hunter boots, Caddis readers, vintage turquoise thumb ring, vintage pendant + key pendant necklace by local designer.

WHAT WAS I THINKING » I knew exactly what I was going to wear today. I loved this fit from the week before and perfect for the trip to the new korean bakery…it was cool & rainy so switched up the tee for a low key graphic sweatshirt (Saturdays NYC, similar here)+ beanie + vintage turquoise ring, mom’s pearls.

the vibe was new-style-in-my-wardrobe bringing it to a new twist to the neighborhood ⚡️⚡️💙 💙
