The cottagecore trend is (thankfully) seeping into every aspect of our lives—including our desk accessories. Not only can we wear clothing that makes us feel like we’re attending a luxe tea party or an over-the-top picnic, but now we can carry around notebooks that offer this same vibe. (!) Thanks to its incredibly cute designs, the new Papier cottagecore collection is the perfect place to start merging the sartorial world with the paper goods world. So naturally, we decided the best way to celebrate was to create plus-size cottagecore outfit ideas that match each notebook design. (What? Like you’ve never coordinated your ‘fit with your notebooks before?)
From the Into the Garden notebook—which features a gorgeous blue and white floral-adorned design—to the Gingham Days notebook—a bright and cheery gingham design in mustard yellow—every single piece in the cottagecore collection is too cute to pass up. And because showing them off on our desks just isn’t enough, we’re turning them into can’t-miss cottagecore accessories. After all, there’s no need for a purse when you have notebooks that pair perfectly with your ensemble.
So go ahead and lean in, bb. Match your outfit to your notebook this season. Show the world that you love to write poetry under the shade of an oak tree. Let everyone know that you’d rather have pen and paper than a computer (while keeping your laptop close, of course). Live your most Instagram-worthy cottagecore life—starting with the latest Papier launch.
Here at Unruly, we’re committed to featuring plus-size pieces we genuinely love and want to share with you. We’re connected to an affiliate revenue program, which means we might make a small commission when you buy products through our shopping guides. This in no way affects pieces we choose to feature, and it never will. (Confused? We’d love to answer any questions you have about this. Email us at beunrulyinfo@gmail.com!)
1. The Into the Garden Look
If Alice in Wonderland and The Secret Garden were melded into one (perfect) design, it’d be this Into the Garden Papier notebook. Pair it with a light blue mini dress, heeled sandals, and a pair of mustard yellow sunglasses. Just don’t be surprised if a little white rabbit starts following you.
