The white blouse version FW 15/16 carries a knot. I found this blouse at Zara and it suits my wardrobe perfectly. It feels updated and very much this fall but is still just an ordinary white blouse. And it's in cotton with a little bit of stretch. Styled with a longer black cardigan and one of my pen-skirts, also a little bit longer. … [Read more...] about With A Knot
Detailing The Black
I know this blog is supposed to be about fashion and office wear but what happens when the world is disrupt and when fashion seems like an insignificant and futile pastime? The past couple of days and the events in Paris qualify for life to enter in such a state.

What do you do then? What is the go-to in your style … [Read more...] about Detailing The Black
