Wearing a blouse underneath a sweater always gives me a sort of office-feel, it’s when I think back of the time I spent at important law-events when I studied law, that is what I wore often to look neat and at the same time avoid wearing a blazer. It’s been a few years since I wore that combo, but I decided to play around with it a little. I’m in work mode today anyways, so much work to do! This skort is obviously too short for any office look and I added some sneakers as well to get to a professional-but-not-professional look. I love my contrasts. Also: I love my Céline sunnies. Even though they cover half my face. Sometimes I just need that. Happy Thursday!

Off Duty might be the new way to describe my style. There’s just so much going on in my life that I tend to grab easy pieces lately. Not to say that I’m ignoring fashion or not thinking about what I wear, but it does have to have some degree of comfort, usually flats, and silky and soft fabrics are a big theme for me right now. And then accessorizing is the key to keep it interesting for me, like some big finger bling, nails in the color of your knit, crossbody bags that look effortless chic and some Chanel on your feet makes any girl feel better. Still really loving the cow print so I got it out again, paired it with some blue and decided to enjoy a little sunshine. Which I hope you will do as well, today. Happy Tuesday!

Gosh, this weekend turned out totally different than expected! This is something I wore last week though, when I was in a happier place and super happy in my new super cool top. Hastag happy. Not just before this weekend’s storm though (and luckily every storm passes), because it’s also before a good time to come! I really have my hopes up that summer will arrive next week! Which means more shorts, more sheer, and doesn’t sunshine make everyone happier?
Back to the top: I was really impressed by 3.1 Phillip Lim’s SS13 collection which was all about grunge and pieces with cool details like leopard sleeved sweaters, a gorgeous floral bag, tropical printed texts and Nueva York tees, especially this partly sheer and silk one. It was my favorite piece of the collections and I’m so happy I got it, it has the perfect balance between cool oversized tee and sexy sheer and then it shows a bit of love for my favorite city in the world. I knew immediately how I would wear it when I got it: with leather and denim and a cool pair of ankle boots, and then after that in a hundred other ways, of course. But this is it for now. I hope you all have a great Sunday!

Last day of May already! May hasn’t exactly been my favorite month of the year since I was in pain for most of it and it PJ’s as well, but luckily I still had some outfits from my vacation in Bali. Also: lots of black and white. I think my favorite outfits are the ones in the last row since I’ve been in a black and white slouch mood lately but who knows, I might be in a different mood next week. I’m really curious which one your favorite outfit is!

PS. I’m working hard on answering all your questions but it might take a little longer than I expected, sorry! Happy Friday!

Finding budget versions of SS13 designer highlights can make me very happy. I’m not talking copies, I’m talking similar styles. When I saw SS13 collections at first I was instantly craving a big white airtex bomber jacket a la Stella McCartney, but considering the price and the fact that I couldn’t find anything similar made me give up after a while. Then I ran into this jacket at a store I don’t even come that often, it must have been faith since it was 50% off as well. Same thing goes for the silky black trousers that so far are the best ones I’ve seen to give that oversized and even masculine Céline-feel. I mean, us girls on a budget need to be creative right? So maybe these pants aren’t real silk, maybe the jacket isn’t real airtex, but they also didn’t kill my bank account and helped me achieve that slouchy sporty look I love so much, for less. Again, it’s black and white and slouchy and sporty, but that’s just what I’m really into right now! Got to run now, have lots of questions to answer!

Besides slouchy I would describe my style as ‘off duty’ these days, quite relaxed and simple and baggy. This is a typical look I wear all the time at the moment: boyfriend jeans, sneakers and a top that brings a little extra. Love the big polkadots!
A tip on how to find really good slim fit boyfriend jeans: try a regular jeans from a brand you like, but take 2 or 3 sizes up. This one is a pair of skinny jeans from Zara in size 40 and it’s one of my new favorites! I could use a belt around it though, but I find it quite hard to find a good skinny belt.

Thanks for all your questions and answers on yesterday’s Q&A post! I’ll try to answer them as quickly as possible :)
Happy Tuesday!

Back in business! Finally some new pictures, after almost 5 weeks! Super happy to wear some normal clothes again, even though it won’t be anything skinny or tight any time soon. However, I’m very much into slouchy and baggy so that’s a good thing! These pictures are from last week on the one day the weather was nice and I was going for a slouchy but chic look again, kind of channeling Céline with my new zebra sandals and in baggy leather. Being forced to wear oversized and baggy trousers and flats all the time, I find it a challenge to bring some femininity and sophistication into my looks but this blouse does all the work for me. I think I’m just as curious as you are as to finding out what I’ll come up with when I can’t wear most of my clothes but we’ll see, all I know is slouchy is here to stay!
On a more personal level, I really appreciate some of you still asking how I’m doing and being interested in not just my outfits but in me as a person as well (but please don’t feel obliged to, this is a fashion blog). Anyways, I’m doing OK, recovery is just taking very long and when I say that I’m out and about, that means I took a little walk – nothing more yet. Hopefully the pain will go away soon and I will fit into skinny jeans again, although I got some pretty nice new boyfriend jeans to make me feel better ;) Happy Sunday!
