I'm Hiding It Well, But Inside, I'm Freaking Out About These 36 Anti-Trend Finds
I've always had a great poker face, probably because I could never quite wrap my head around actual poker and needed to come up with a way to fake it. That said, I only really have to play during holiday parties, so my ability to hide my hand has had to become useful in other ways, one of which is masking my excitement over all things fashion related. You see, I can't just be freaking out every time I find something really, really good while shopping online. My seatmates at the office would have to move or buy some high-quality soundproof headphones. No matter how calm I might look, trust that I'm probably losing it over a luxury bag, vintage shoes, or a designer-looking sweater inside.
Such was the case this week when I went on a scroll in search of timeless, anti-trend fashion finds to share with all of you. This year has brought with it a fair share of trends, many of which I'm smitten with, but any styling expert knows that a well-rounded wardrobe must include both trendy items and classic ones. The 36 pieces below fit into the latter category, and they're all more than worth screaming over. I won't do that, though. Instead, I'll switch on my aforementioned poker face and tell you all calmly to scroll down and see for yourself just how chic each one is.
These J.Crew jeans just came out, and after seeing them on Olympia Gayot, the brand's head of women's design, I'm convinced they'll sell out soon.
