Understated tank tops, basic blazers, eyelet lace shirts and floral dresses from Shibuya. There are times when I open my closet and wonder if I’ll ever stop the schizophrenic pursuit of finding a signature ‘Sam style’ that’s devoid of trends. One week I’ll just wear the same pair of shorts with a white tee and ...
