Transitioning stylewise and weatherwise

Welcome back to another week of outfits! Little black dress has been a save that day little thing. It served as a bakground to my favorite and only checkered Shirt. Vintage cardigan and leather bag are presents from mum.

I must have felt adventurous the other day hence the far west vibe of my outfit. It was though one of my formula outfits that is a dress and my denim jacket on top. Works for an easy stylish outfit every time! Leather bag is new and the dress thrifted.

I've been secretely loving the twin set concept but wasn't so brave to try it in this modern world. But I did put my fears aside and I like the result! Classic! Skirt is thrifted!

This business woman look was a big hit with my students, I don't know why. Maybe they are showing me a more appropriate for me work path? Sometimes the less creative choices and obvious from my wardrobe are the best. Not that I will admit it! This jacket from Zara has proved a staple and I 'm considering to bring it to a tailor for a better fit.

Must have been a Thift Shop day and I rocked my thrift store finds. Not a bad monochromatic look. It looks better on the photo as I had to adjust the various parts all through the day.

Clean lines, simple colors and basic clothes help make the most elegant outfits. Period. I'm sold.

From now on you will hear me raving about white! How haven't I realised before how classy and elegant it looks. It elevates all outfits and makes me look more put together. I love white !

I bought me the other day a matching set of white bag and white shoes and one matching set of beige bag and beige shoes and matching belts and I  plan to be matchy matchy and not regret about it. It looks so proper and elegant and have never tried it before! White top is from Zara and dress is from Lacoste and I always enjoy wearing it.

Have a great week ahead! Stay blessed and creative and approach life with massive amounts of  gratitude!

Hand sewn silk sleevless cardigan

This outfit was created around the silk piece of fabric you see coming out of my jacket. The story behind this item is that it had been given to me by my 80 years old aunt who used to be a seamstress. I've been toying around with it for some time but silk is difficult to sew so I never ventured until this summer. For a while, I was into researching( the scientific term for endless hours of Pinterest) very  basic patterns of sewing mostly from Japanese magazines. Then, I came across groups that were into hand sewing only. When I saw this video and this video I decided to make a long scarf cardigan. This is how I wore it.

 I don't know why I chose a sporty look to go with it but I don't regret it now that I see the photos.

Outfit details: Silk cardigan/hand sewn, top/Anna Riska, Jeggings/Stradivarious, Jacket/thrifted( Made in Canada), shoes( Marks& Spencer), necklace/Berska, sunglasses/ thrifted 

On another note, I went thrifting today since last spring. I scored 4 beige/tan sweaters (new) for 8 euros.

I will post photos and will wear them soon enough because a bit of cold weather is required and there is no sign of cold weather in Crete, yet.( not that I complain!).

I can see a pattern developing about my thrifting habits here. I work in a school as a teacher which means 9 months of everyday different outfits. That's when I blog the most and thrift the most. In summer time the need for dressing( other than very casual staying at home or going to the beach) is limited. That's when I usually don't post often or when I purge like mad. Only the most favorites of the winter thrifting extravaganga stay.( I exept here the days I work/help my husband for AutoRentals-Crete)

And then I go back to school and off I start again. 

I believe that because I managed to tidy effectivelly my house the KonMarie method and took the Project 333 I was able to clearly see the pattern.

How about you? Do you notice similar patterns in your dressing/thrifting experience?
