Blue on blue on blue

You know I am not one to shy away from bold contrasts but sometimes it is ok to go more subtle. If you are in a mood to create a look with a soft colour palette you can always combine different tones of the same hue just like I did in this look by playing with different shades of blue. The result is very harmonious yet not boring.

When I bought this dress back in February on sale I didn't really think through the fact that the low back cut and the high front slit would be elements that would make me insecure about using it on its own. Neither had I realised how easily the fabric wrinkles. However I still like it so I had to find a way to be able to use it and I am quite pleased with the effect that it gives as a top layer. That doesn't really solve the wrinkling problem but I have decided just to ignore it and accept the fact that it will never look perfect. Who wants to look perfect anyway?

Fur and bows

Have you ever been attracted to a garment or accessory because of its fluffiness? It might not be the sanest reason to buy something but the sensation is great. So this bag wasn't the most rational purchase but the sale price was very reasonable and it does look super cute, don't you think? It is quite large in order to fit in all of the things that I like to carry around, and the colour is a show stopper. I am certain I will not be using this bag on a daily basis but it is ok to have things just because they are pretty ;)

Pearl and pretzel

A blazer is an important piece for office looks but that doesn't mean that it has to be tailored, black and matching your trousers. Although I don't have to stick to a strict dress code at work and I have flexibility in what I can wear (therefore I do not own many blazers), I feel that it is worth having a few of them in your closet especially if they are versatile enough to be used on casual occasions. Even though I had not planned on buying a new one, I found this in the sale rack and I thought I would give it a shot. I had seen it when it was still full-price but my lack of urgency detained me from buying it. However finding it almost half price made me see it as an opportunity. I love the colour and the shape that are not the typical and the fabric is so soft!

Shirt dress and Dalí

I have been wanting to buy a shirt dress for quite some time now but I hand't really found something that I really liked. And then one day that I hadn't even planned on going shopping I found it out the blue, at the back of the store and available on my size. Some fashion stories are just meant to be, don't you think?

Shades of blue

A cool jacket is the answer to these fresh days of autumn. Maybe it is not too cold yet but I have to grab any opportunity given to wear my thicker clothes because you never know when the heat is going to come back ;)
