Workwear Wednesday: The Strange Allure of Mustard vol 1
It feels ridiculous to post any clothes at the moment that go beyond bikinis, as Brussels is taking this heatwave business rather seriously. However, I realise that it’s not necessarily as warm everywhere and even if it is, at some point we’ll be back to nor..
Workwear Wednesday: The Summer Dress Edition
Many women find dressing for work especially challenging in summer. I’m not necessarily among them, but I see how one could feel like this. Especially in a more conservative environment, it can be difficult to strike the right balance between staying cool an..
Casual Friday: Sporty Trousers
This shoot didn’t quite turn out the way I wanted. Don’t get me wrong, I think it looks lovely (thanks to great work by Laura Nestor), but due to a couple of coincidences, the look is sportier than originally intended. That in itself would not be a problem e..
Workwear Wednesday*: Trouser Edition vol 1
If you’ve been following my blog for a while, you probably think I don’t wear trousers very often. This is manifestly not true, I wear them possibly 50% of the time, at least in winter. It’s just that outfits featuring trousers generally seem less exciting t..
Workwear Wednesday: Lots of Red and a Coat of Clouds
This look does not come as a surprise to the diligent readers of the blog, I showed the red shirt, red skirt and red shoes combination a while back in my Sezane post. The novelty is demonstrating how to wear all this when it’s really cold, with a sweater, co..
Workwear Wednesday: Fresh & Sharp
Office wear posts are among my favourites: I like the genre and many of you seem to find my ideas genuinely useful. So I will attempt to do these looks on a regular basis, now that my work life will hopefully be a bit more… regular. I’ll return to my old p..
Autumn Office Outfits vol 5: Red
If you have recently opened a women’s magazine or a style blog or just your eyes, really, you already know that red is a major trend this autumn/winter. In its purest form, it’s often called „red to toe“ and I have to admit this phrase annoys me – possibly b..
Autumn Office Outfits vol 4: Maximalism
The last outfit I talked about here was rather minimal: grey, white, t-shirt, jeans… So it makes sense – at least in my mind – to change tack entirely and do an opulent look. Of all my office style ideas I’m pretty sure this is the one most people will find ..
Autumn Office Outfits vol 3: An Oversized Blazer
For most of my adult life, oversized blazers have been a thing. Sure, there have been seasons when they weren’t, like, actively trendy, but they haven’t looked wrong for about 15 years. This season they are very actively trendy, indeed – especially when grey..
Autumn Office Outfits vol 2: Tonal Dressing
In some ways, my workwear look number two doesn’t differ much from number one: top, skirt, exactly the same pumps. In other ways, they are opposites: the first one was all about bold colour and unexpected combinations, the second stays pretty much within one..
