COS Roll Neck Dress in Black and Blue

Dress: COS - chelsea boots: Kell - motor jacket: bankfashion.co.uk - feather boa: Zara

I've been slacking off lately on the blog department! BUT I have some time off from work coming up, so expect an overload of blog posts in a week or so. For now, we'll have to make do with the tiny amount of time I have after all of my other work is finished. But I'm not complaining, I'm actually having a great time at work. I have a bajillion responsibilities but I feel like I'm on top of things, like I've got things under control. Which is kind of the best feeling ever, you know? Feeling competent. And I'm excited about some things I have coming up professionally, like conducting surveys at schools.

But about the outfit! I'm wearing all neutrals again: black, blue and grey. Hey, I'm just blending into the dreary cityscape, but in a very chic way. I mean, if you're wearing a feather boa, you don't really need anything else. But this dress is another perfect piece so don't look at me like I didn't make an effort! I got it in the summer sales at COS, and I'm totally in love with it. You can't really tell from the pictures because it was dark and rainy when Sabina and I snapped these, bu the top half is in navy and the bottom half is black. The ribbed stretchy fabric is heavy and thick, which works perfect for the silhouette because it makes the dress stand in an A line rather than just hang down from my hips. Which is exactly why I love COS: if you'd get a dress like this from a cheaper brand, it would be made out of regular jersey which wouldn't look half as nice.

I hope I'll be able to blog tomorrow but I have an entire day of schooling on how to interview ahead of me so I might just collapse on the couch at the end of the day. Catch ya later! 

PS: navy + black = best thing ever, right?

PPS: apparently, I say "x = the best thing ever" way too often. My colleagues and boyfriend keep rolling their eyes at me when I get too enthusiastic again.
