The Strange Allure of Mustard vol 2: Sexy Mustard
Ladies and gentlemen (gentleman? I don’t know how many of you are reading), the day has dawned for the second instalment in my mustard series and I am overwhelmed by this unique opportunity to use the phrase ‘sexy mustard’ in a sentence.
As I explained l..
The Only Thing to Wear Right Now + Sales Shopping
To quote Morpheus: fate, it seems, is not without a sense of irony. The pictures for these posts were taken in Estonia with about 17 degrees Celsius and heavy wind. If you zoom close enough (don’t!), I’m sure you can detect goose bumps. Fast forward two week..
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: 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 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..
Autumn Office Outfits vol 1: Weird Colour Blocking
Never mind all those fancy style posts I’ve done for the blog – the most popular* article featuring clothes is this rather modest one on office wear. Ever since I did it, I’ve planned a sequel, as the response was so positive and encouraging. Capturing a ful..
Mules, the Unlikely Fashion Favourites
A mule – not the most attractive name for a shoe, is it? And generally, I think the style matches the name in its (lack of) attractiveness. I’ve never been a fan: mules remind me of pictures of perfect retro housewives and boudoirs and Barbies. Or, if they a..
How to Wear a Kimono in Two Ways
Despite my aversion to capsule wardrobes, I’m very much in favour of only buying stuff you really, really like and then wearing said stuff to death. Where I believe I differ from the majority of people is that when I say this, I’m not only thinking of your b..
