The Gray Area

Today's outfit is the first fruit of a collaboration I've really been looking forward to.
With the beautiful package from Bulgaria-based creative duo Arya Sense in my hands,
I found myself feeling like an incredibly excited little kid about to open their long-awaited presents.
Having to choose from the three exquisite handmade tops they kindly sent me,
I felt like this gray long sleeved draped top fit my mood best today.
(BTW, isn't gray just a wonderful color for spring?)

If your sartorial taste resembles mine, I strongly recommend heading over to Arya Sense Etsy shop
to drool over their designs and treat yourself to your favorite piece.

The Light

After a period of slightly depressing weather, today was a wonderful, sunlit day that brought along some spring vibes I've been yearning for and instantly uplifted my mood. At first I thought the strong sunlight and the shadows it cast would interfere with shooting these photos, but they turned out just right. I intentionally restrained myself from too much editing and left some photos uncropped, even skewed; these little "imperfections" made me smile.

P. S. Yes, this is a gray version of my black split front skirt (worn here). I learned that when you really like, want, and need an item, it might be a smart idea to get it in another color, too (or, in my case, in another non-color).

The Blacks

Wearing a mix of old and new* black items on a surprisingly warm January day (hence the nylon tights instead of my usual two chunky layers). Now this is the kind of winter I can live with.

* Smart sale buys (including the split front skirt and the faux leather jacket from the men's department worn here). I might share my smart shopping tips in one of my next posts.
