"Whaddaya Buyin'?"

Timmy and Tommy Nook are the adorable nephew characters from the Animal Crossing series. In New Leaf, Tom Nook has shifted the responsibility of managing his retail store to Timmy and Tommy.


The inspiration for today's outfit comes from the twins' long-term goal of having a nice superstore (T&T Emporium!). This look is fairly professional for a retail space and I think it reflects the excellent customer service that the brothers always strive to provide.

• Shirt (LE3NO): A white button-up shirt is a staple in many uniforms, so I figured it'd be a good starting point for this outfit too.
• Sweater (American Eagle): This blue cardigan jacket mimics the color of Timmy's apron, which is the original uniform he wears in the New Leaf game.
• Pants (Dickies): Non-denim pants are another requirement in many uniforms, so I wanted to include them here as well. I think these khaki-colored pants are appropriate for this type of look but they are still youthful and not too drab.
• Belt (Ralph Lauren): I chose a black belt with a gold buckle for this outfit to match well with the shoes.
• Shoes (Salvatore Ferragamo): I liked these shoes for this look because they don't have a high heel, so hopefully they will be comfortable for a person who is on their feet a lot. Working in a retail space means a lot of standing and walking, so I hoped that these shoes would be ones that the wearer could enjoy having on all day.
• Purse (Etsy - LaLisette): Like Tom Nook, Timmy and Tommy are technically tanuki in the original Japanese games, but they are described as raccoons in the western versions. Because of that, I thought a raccoon purse would be really cute!
• Earrings (Infinity & Co): I am conflicted as to whether or not I actually like double-sided earrings like this. I think we can all admit that at the very least they look sort of weird. Regardless of that, I wore a pair like these to the office once and they seemed to be pretty unpractical for that type of job. I couldn't hold my desk phone to my ear without it sliding all over the place and I definitely dropped the handset entirely while on the phone with a customer. Holding a telephone at your shoulder while trying to type just doesn't work out when some huge balls are sticking out of each side of your earlobe.........Anyway, I liked the way they looked with this outfit, so they are staying! 
• Hair Clip (With Chic): I knew a gold leaf-shaped  hair clip would be perfect for this outfit. The final upgrade for the store Timmy and Tommy run, T&T Emporium, has a sign featuring gold leaves in the same style as the New Leaf logo. A gold hair clip to reference that was too cute to skip. 
• Watch (Tory Burch): Working in retail means keeping an eye on the clock and knowing exactly when it's time to open shop and close down for the night. This gold and navy watch ties in with the rest of the outfit and is a perfect accessory to finish the look off.

Thanks again so much for reading!


Talk to you all soon!
