Converse, Denim and Stripes


Top, nylons, jacket: H&M - scarf: Zara - skirt: Forever21 - shoes: Converse


You've probably noticed that I'm living in classics and basics at the moment. All of these pieces are probably things you have in your closet: the striped shirt, the denim jacket, the simple miniskirt and the classic sneakers... OK the feather boa is a bit outlandish, but that's my personal touch that can be swapped for anything that represents your style. Very relaxed and cute, my version of casual. 

I may still look eyecatching to some of you, but I haven't really been feeling like drawing attention to myself lately. I just want to retreat into my own mind to deal with stuff. Wearing classic pieces, stripped from accessories and BS (except for my snuggly collar) feels safe and relaxed. I've actually been wearing jogging pants while working on my thesis the past few days, GASP!  Not that wearing jogging pants is anything to GASP at, it's just SO not me. Or so not OLD me, I guess.

I'm so depressing these days :-D There is no one right way to mourn, and since this blog is my personal platform it's only normal that all of my different moods eventually find their way into my posts. One day I'm happy clappy, the next I'm whiny, and then I just fall flat and silent. At least I offer some variation! :-D Let's end with a joke: this skirt is giving me a major case of polterwang.

  3. Heb juist je vorige post gelezen! Ik begrijp wat je voelt, mijn grootvader is twee jaar geleden gestorven na een jaar af te zien van kanker. Hoewel je denkt dat je voorbereid bent blijft het altijd moeilijk! Heb zelf ook heel veel zitten nadenken over waar jij je nu mee bezig houdt, maar je vindt jezelf wel terug en wat je wil, just be patient... In elk geval veel sterkte! x

  5. You look GREAT!!! I love this simple look. Very, very much.
    And you have nothing to worry about: it's just thesis time that sucks! It drains all of the energy, all the clothes in the wardrobe have suddenly zero appeal, and finally one choose to go on the comfy place. There's nothing wrong and nothing to worry about. It happened to me as well, and in the same exact way. I was feeling like CRAP! Always stressed and nervous and with zero time to think about anything else than the dreadful thesis.
    All of this will magically disappear when your thesis is going to see its end. So just sit back and relax yourself in comfy clothes as we like your comfort zone! ;)

  9. Your hair looks cool when it hits the purple boa, it's like there are little lights hidden somewhere, such a bright red! :) You might be dressing more casual and less you, but I like it more than before :) Like you said, I probably belong to that group of people for whom this outfit is even a little crazy :)

  10. Ah, eindelijk, ik dacht dat ze afgekeurd waren :p Basic outfits zijn goed en als je met de rest van de Belgenlandje vergelijkt is dit al verre van basic. Ondanks alles waar je mee te kampen heb, zie je er nog steeds fab uit!
    Ik kom tegenwoordig amper van achter mijn bureau en mijn home look valt echt niet aan te zien.
