Do you ever plan what to wear for the following day? I always plan to plan, but at the end of the day, I find myself running around like a crazy person in the morgning trying to find something that is smart, comfortable and suiting together. This week is going to be very busy so I am going to give it an honest try. We will see if I succeed by posting an outfit of the day every day on the blog. This is a great challenge for me!
Monday:
Black pencil skirt, orange silk blouse and peach chashmere cardigan. Either black shoes or Gucci snake skin shoes in matching colour of the top and cardigan.
Tuesday:
Grey suit, white silk top. White and silver Gucci scarf. Black LK Bennet patent pumps.
Wednesday:
Beige suit with black silk blouse. Brown suede Louboutin shoes.
Thursday:
Lanvin blue and white skirt, white silk blouse, blue suede shoes.
Friday:
Black leather skirt and cream wool cardigan. Black schal with sculls.
How does it sound? You think it seems boring? What kind of dressers are you, the ones who wake up in a certain mood and chose your outfit in the spur of the moment or the kind that plans?
How would you accessorize the different looks just by their description?
I hope you are all having a fab Sunday evening!

Find your cut
I love Tara Jarmon. With time, I have learned that it suits me very well, also. So I find myself purchasing quite a lot from there, specially office items.
A few of my Tara Jarmon favourites worn during the past week:
A piece of advice is to find a brand that suits you, where the sizes are true to yours, and make it your warderobe standard purchase. Whether it be H&M, Topshop or Tara Jarmon.

Office wear
I would like to know who my readers are - if there are any?
I would like to know what you would like to read in a blog - is it pictures? Solid advice? Personal reflections? Display of warderobe?
I will try very hard to figure out what works.
In the mean time, I have lately been very occupied at the office.
I have a desk job. Sometimes, at work, I get to meet clients. Other times, I just sit in my room and think. On occasions, I sit on my room and type.
I dress very differently at the office given the two occasion. When I meet with clients, I would normally wear a full suit or a skirt and blouse, sometimes with a matching blazer. I try to keep the cuts up to date and flattering to my body shape in order to avoid the "more coffee? more tea?"- airhostess approach. I try to keep my accessories clean and sometimes I avoid all together the obvious branded ones, like the Chanel earrings or Hermès bracelet.
On occasions when I am counting on desk job only, I don't take it as seriously. I don't know if that is a good thing, but sometimes I just can't be bothered to hop into that uniform.
Of course, jeans are a no-no. But I tend to lean towards as comfortable as possible, and the next thing replacing jeans. Like thicker leggings from Massimodutti. And a knittet sweater in cream colour from Cos. And indoors, I keep my Louis Vuitton boots on and don't change into heels.
I wish I had the energy to always dress according to dress code, but lacking that energy, at least I get to be creative and wear what I have in my closet. I might post some evidence pictures if that's wanted.

Shopping - Louis Vuitton Boots
This purchase was unfortunately not on sale. Although I quite like the idea of bying somethin on full price and knowing that two weeks later, I am not going to find it on the racks for half price.
I have brown leather boots already and was looking for something black, more versatile. In fact, I have gone from avoinding black and bying everything in all kinds of crazy colours, to actually going back to basics and appreciating the simplicity of something that does not always have to make any other statement than classical.
Here, me childishly happy about my new boots in the sofa.
How much would you allow a pare of boots to cost given that they are "just" black ordinary boots that you could buy anywhere?

I love the detailed work!

Sales Shopping - Current/Elliot Zebra Vintage Jeans
Let's start the displays of the sales from this season. First out are these new favourites, zebra print jeans from Current/Elliot bought at 50% off from Nelly. I have worn them with a black silk shirt once and with a white silk blouse another time. Both times with my bf:s vintage YSL black lizard belt. Does it get more back to the zoo than that?
On the picture, I am wearing a coat from H&M (also purchased on half price early fall) and a faux fur that I ripped of a Primark coat. Also in my Louis Vuitton boots that I live in nowadays.

What do you think? Too horsey or zooey? Better with leopard or snake print?
A nice close-up.

Shoppoholic - Hermès vintage bracelet
I can't seem to stop myself. Yesterday I made this online vintage purchase. Honestly, I think it's going to be a lousy buy that I will have to return since the bracelet may be in miniature size (a bit like the picture).
Thank God for 14 days return policy!
Sales shopping - Balenciaga Bag
To break off a little from previous season's sales, here is my latest love and latest sales purchase.
Although clean in style and in black, it is not so much for the office as it does not fit a regular office computer.
But I introduce to you to my new gem, the Balenciaga A4 Papier!
