For me it will be the aline skirt in the granny length... i e over the knee. I bought this skirt on sale in February, perfect all through spring and summer and now I'm turning it into my no 1 winter skirt too. Styled with boots, black leather and the flowery blouse in pink - spiced up with the afternoon sun. Lovely day by the way! Skirt - Whyred Blouse - Zadig et Voltaire Jacket - Vince … [Read more...] about This Seasons Black Skirt
Green And Flowery
Updating my black ensemble for the season with a flowery blouse. A hint of green, a knot and flowers - you can't go wrong with this combination! For the fall and winter season of 2015/16 the combination of green, wrap/knots and flowers seems to be huge. I found this blouse at Club Monaco and it's a hit. I styled it with my black blazer and slim cropped black pants, all geared up for a presentation to the Board of Directors! Business life is a show off! … [Read more...] about Green And Flowery
Forget About the Chunky Knit
Remember I was thinking of buying a chunky knit last weekend? Won't happen. I just dove into my closet and found this knit. Will do just fine for my purposes. Fits perfectly with my new fall grey pants (with the tiny dots, remember?). To spice it up a little bit (as I had dinner plans for the evening) I paired with earrings that I have used only together with a long fancy evening dress. I think the combination of the wear-all-day knit and the evening-style earrings worked out fine! The sweater is from … [Read more...] about Forget About the Chunky Knit
Flared Pants
The black and white theme re-used when styling a finely flared blazer together with pants with more of a flare. Too much? No I don't think so. I like the feel of the two pieces together. Today I downplayed the style by wearing a pair of black and white sneakers, rarely worn at work. I think it adds a little bit of fun to the otherwise deadly searious black and white office wear... But you could easily upgrade with a pair of heels and the impression would have been totally different. Blazer - … [Read more...] about Flared Pants
Chunky Necklace Version October 2015
Sometimes you're truly surprised by your own actions and one such occasion was when I bought this necklace! It was almost an out of body experience when I saw myself trying it on, dealing about the price, paying and walking away, bag in hand! I can't even blame the presence of a female shopping friend... I was on my own. It's eye catching and when someone who normally wears small understated jewelry walks around with a necklace like this, the wow factor is huge! I rarely get as many compliments as I do … [Read more...] about Chunky Necklace Version October 2015
Planning For New Styles
... for last season's corduroy pants and for my old suede skirt. Here you can see the pants as I styled them today, with a long sleeved black and white cotton top also from last winter. I like the pants and the corduroy and think they will be as wearable this season as last year. But I'm thinking of how to make them feel more 2015/16, and the idea of combining them with a big, chunky knit in a contrasting color comes to my mind. Colors could be dark orange, sky blue, brown or some nuance of … [Read more...] about Planning For New Styles
