Olive green

I love to go monochromatic from time to time in other colors than black. Olive green is a new addition for my wardrobe but has potential and can be used as a basic. Other than that this outfit is a bit on the " I have to use as many of the clothes I have as possible in one outfit"side.

White to go

I was for decades a fan of black color. Although I adore colors I was a fan of black versus white. There is a huge amount of sophistication and practicality to black that is difficult to find in other colors. However, over the last year this has changed and I'm becoming a huge fun of white as well. It's just as sophisticated as black and practical,too if you have a number of white pieces and wash them all together in one go.It also helps if you buy multiples because white becomes yellowish quickly.

I noticed that white color lights up my face and makes it look younger and less tired. Plus, it is a great match to graphic patterns like this black and white pattern on the skirt I wear today. 

Basic dress

This black cotton dress is a newest addition to my closet. It's very minimal and absolutely matches all my accessories.                     

 (Yes, I'm so all over the place when it comes to matching my bed covers. Never have I managed a well matchy matchy made bed.)Not that I care much!

In this case accessories happen to be a thrifted scarf which echoes my love for equestrian style and a wooden colorful beads bracelet I also thrifted for 0,50cents but I know retails something between 16-20 euro. I have found that this kind of elastic bracelets get the most wear from me as they are very practical and don't get in the way when I'm busy.

Keep trying

There comes a time in life when simple is the goal.

                                    Me and my camera and the bedroom            mirror are enough

       I can even be creative ( baby steps)

                                      So much to think about.....

Me slimmer -3 kilos less in 3 weeks-, I feel better but eating is less fun

                                                               Shoes creative!

In two minds

I really missed blogging my outfits. I will try and keep it very simple this time. I have found a place in our bedroom for a tripod with the camera permanently on. I aspire to just snap a few photos in front of my closet just  before I go out. I plan to post once everyweek. My goal is to be persistent and spend as less time as possible so that my blogging will not interfere so much with all my other activities.

Thrifted sweater and push up calzedonia collant (great stuff)

 But then I changed my mind and I want to try to photograph myself in front of the mirror. Never have I tried this technique but I sort of like!

I need to make the room more presentable of course and play around with the settings but other than that I like the end result.

Ps Son is working with me!!!
I hope this coming weekend to sort things out and start regular blogging again. Do you by any chance have a preference in the way I should take the photos? If yes I would love to here your opinion.

4 outfits, some shoes and accessories

It's been a while, I know. I hold my self accountable just because I promised my self to post almost everyday and the life got in the way sperkled with bits of procastrination. 

On the other hand I've been into some interesting projects. I discovered( I don't remember any more how a great anti consumerism blog that I've been sort of studying since then. It's called not buying anything.

And as far as my creative life I'm into refashioning lately which means I get thrifted pieces and try to make new garments out of them. I've only refashioned a sweater so far and I will photograph soon.

So, here is what I wore last week. It's a mix of old, new,bought retail or thrifted pieces.

The outfits

The accessories 

 

The shoes

 Happy rest of week everyone!

 

How to wear the same pants 2 days or more in a row

Finally, I sorted things out (with camera)!!! That's what women always do! Ha-ha! So, I will post 2 days worth of outfits. It's the same pants but different tops and shoes.

 It's obvious that the outfits are very similar in construction. It's a shirt+ scarf+a kind of cardigan+ pants. It's the combo I mostly use lately.

It's a mix of Zara( pants, scarves) and thrifted items.

Love you all but.......

                   I tried hard to upload my photos for today but my camera and PC are against me!

Found nothing... bought nothing

Simple, cosy, everyday outfit. Not much to say other than I needed this tan/beige pants to anchor so many of my clothes. 

I went thrifting, I found nothing... I bought nothing. I left feeling proud. I have become very aware of the things I bring back to my closet! 

Nothing I don't really like comes in there!
