The Ease

Here's how getting dressed works for me these days (today's example):
I open up the wardrobe, grab a sweater and some pants,
mentally pair the ensemble with the right shoes and bag,
and all that's left for me to do is to put the items on various parts of my body
(which might even take up more time than the actual process of "composing" the outfit*).

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.
For even more info, visit their website and Facebook page.

The Colors

This is me wearing colors (and attempting to be witty).

Winter has been nice to us so far - these days feel more like early spring, so my light coat is back in the game, along with a sweater that used to be my boyfriend's. I've been wanting a soft, just slightly oversized grey sweater since the beginning of fall; turns out a perfect one was sitting in his closet all along, and he actually wanted to get rid of it. I just love it when the stars align like this.

Glamour:Madewell Necklace Studs Necklace 

Warmed Up

The weather has been awfully nice to us these days, so I happily took advantage of what was most likely the last chance for bare legs before all hell breaks loose (a.k.a. winter). Whereas I would quite possibly deem this outfit plain, maybe even downright boring, a couple of years ago, I find simple cuts in black and white oh-so beautiful, even soothing now, like it's the only natural thing for me to wear, plus getting dressed has never been so simple. No need to stack on loads of jewelry either, my DIY necklace is more than enough. Oh, and I love it how the bandage over my bruised knee doubles as an instant accessory.

Flared White Jeans

Does it make any sense to say I had to have these flared white jeans just because they were so out of character for me? (Flared? White? Jeans? Certainly not what I'd usually go for.) I noticed them in a heap of clothes at Vintage Vikend swap party and for reasons unknown, they instantly grabbed my attention. (I'm pretty sure I'd walk straight past them in a store.) I picked them up, had a quick look at them, and put them back onto the pile ... just to pick them up again and take another look, a little longer this time. After repeating this procedure and making sure in my mind that I'm not interested just because they're free, I took them to the ladies' room, put them on, looked in the mirror, thought "high five" to myself, received an instant compliment, and, well, bagged them to take them with me to their new home.

Team Blue

This was bound to happen sooner or later, it was really just a matter of time. I don't think I would mind wearing all blue all day, every day.
(Look at me hardly keeping my eyes open because of the weird sunlight, ha ha.)

Any similarity with the photo below is purely coincidental ... or is it? (Now that's the kind of stuff I'd put in "inspo posts" if I did that shit!)

Note: I've given my Tumblr account a revamp and rediscovered the joy of "tumbling" (i.e., hoarding appealing images). Should this kind of stuff be relevant to your interests, click here.

Experimenting

Although I love my terrace and my usual photographer (obviously, since he also doubles as my boyfriend), it never hurts to shake things up and try something new once in a while. My mom shot these at her place (oh, that beautiful white wall!) and I think she did a great job.
