I was first captivated by writer and brand strategist Erika Veurink when I stumbled upon her witty Instagram reels about style. Her deadpan humor mixed with genuine delight is truly refreshing. Erika shares five outfits she wore in a week, each with a story behind it.
First, she sports shorts made from leftover material from her wedding dress, paired with a Frank & Eileen shirt and a babaà sweater. Her accessories include a bag from a Parisian grocery store and Sperry shoes.
Next, she rocks a soccer jersey and Rothy’s shoes, showcasing her love for stripes and comfort in clothing. She also shares her experience of being tall and how she has embraced it over the years.
In another look, Erika dons vintage pants with an unfinished hem, emphasizing the importance of finding the right fit for tall girls. Her accessories include a hat from The Odeon and a bag from Margot.
For a dressier ensemble, she wears a Chava dress with Naturalizer boots and Mark Cross bag. Erika mentions her style icons and the comfort she found in fashion during a difficult time in her life.
Finally, she rocks a colorful nylon short with a J.Crew shirt, demonstrating her love for retro gym class looks. Erika believes in the power of personal style and finding what works for you.
