Bringing out the plaid pencil skirt for a basic office outfit. Some days are just not highly fashionable, they are just plain outright ordinary. Those days the trick is to be as updated as you can in your thoughts about how to combine and pick out the skirt, shirt, blazer/cardigan. For this winter I'm thinking longer skirts - basically I've picked out the skirts in my closet that go below the knee. If you have it in plaid, bring them out! As for the top, a white tee is my favorit go to and I always have … [Read more...] about Basic Office Outfit
Stockholm State Of Mind
There's no energy or inspiration to think about fashion or style this weekend. And even if this is a horrible situation in Stockholm, my heart bleeds for all the people all over the world who are more severely hit by terror and unprovoked assaults than we are. Is this a direction for the world and today's society that we would like to see? No. Over and out. … [Read more...] about Stockholm State Of Mind
The Love For HM Or Not
In someways I'm just very impressed by HM, their prices, the consistency on delivering at the spot trends to (sometimes) ok quality.

This knit was just to create a couple of new … [Read more...] about The Love For HM Or Not
Pragmatism vs Vanity
The last sign of me giving up vanity for pragmatism and practicality, a backpack. Big enough to carry around a notebook and my laptop. Enough of carrying around totes or big handbags hanging on my shoulders weighing a ton and giving me sore shoulders and back pain. It's actually not new, I've been using it for almost a year but I do keep trying to use my fancy tote from time to time. In a desperate attempt to look more stylish for the walk back and forth to the office, and every time I have to revert back … [Read more...] about Pragmatism vs Vanity
Change
Vacation mode makes me think about change... The only thing we can ever count on is that we can never really count on anything. Change is the only constant. The moment you surrender to the fact that everything is unstable and no matter how hard we try to control it, there is no telling what this day may bring... That is the moment you'll find everlasting freedom, stillness, peace. And this is a state beyond vacation to be found in your inner space ... … [Read more...] about Change
Same Top Two Styles
On the theme - skinny or flare - here you see one of my favorite tops styled with a pair of skinny pants and a pair of flared. Same top but two different styles. The skinny pants combined with my funky boots makes the style a little edgier as the top in itself is slightly girlish. The top styled with flared pants making the combination a bit more fluid and feminine. Of course there's the ever-present black blazer involved in both styles, but not in the pictures... … [Read more...] about Same Top Two Styles
