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!

Style Aura

Do  you  watch how other women dress and/or carry themselves around? 

I personally don't have a driving licence so I do a lot of walking which allows me for deep thinking and constant observing.

I don't so much observe for trends or style mistakes anymore but rather for the aura every woman gives out. 

There is a certain kind of women that seem very self sufficient, confident and very put together and they always grab my attention. 

For the few brief moments our paths cross I try to comprehend what makes them so appealling.

Self education project, you can call it, and these are the observations so far.

These women carry themselves in a proud way but not like snobs.

They walk like they have direction and things to accomplish, like they are part of a bigger plan so their walk is lively and enthousiastic but not stressed or like they hurry because they are late.

They are well groomed even if no make up is applied. Hair style, brows, nails ,skin all is well taken care of.

Notice that only now will I talk about clothes.

They don't always wear trendy clothes or are young and thin. They can be any size or shape and any style, age or economic status.

But their clothes fit and seem to be of good quality , good design and clean. What is commonly said is also true, they seem to wear their clothes and not the clothes wear them.

Their clothes have one or more little details that the wondering eye can focus on and be pleasantly surprised.

And one more thing, they know what colors work well together and with the color of their skin/hair.

They seem to have all these things sorted and their look is effortless.

The percentage of these women is not a high one. They are few but then not so few so that I rarely see them.

I call them authentic because it takes a great deal of self knowledge and self acceptance to carry yourself around like that.

It also takes time to organise everything in your life and manage your time to be able to be presentable every day!

Recently, I keep on wondering about one thing and I need your perspective.

Is authenticity in looks a sign of  being authentic in character, too?

       Some days sporty and some ladylike in style but I always try to stay true to my mood of the day!
