MIXED MESSAGE


WEARING: Thrifted Turtleneck, American Apparel Leather Skirt, Carin Wester Coat, Celine Trio Bag and Club Monaco Pumps.

After two weeks of sickness and rainy days, I am back in the saddle again. Due to winter I have developed an unhealthy obsession with turtlenecks, I've been wearing them day in and day out. Throw an oversized coat and you're good to go. Somehow even in winter I still manage to look half naked. I promise that if you spent as much time daydreaming of warm vacations as I do, you would end up choosing pieces for your outfits, inspired by hot weather. Hence the bare legs and the wishful thoughts that winter was already over.

  12. Last week has been so cold and wet in England too. I love turtle neck tops but they don't suit me. I have a short neck so I look like a turtle when I'm wearing them lol. Love the coat and the pumps with socks are a lovely touch :)

  13. It's my first visit here and I love your first head-to-toe black look. Black is my favourite colour and I am into minimalism lately so that is a perfect mix. I think its the coldness that make people love turtle necks, I share your feeling. And yours seem very warm and cosy and it's thrifted?! Like 'what!?'
    Anyway... I will continue the journey of reading your blog....
    Thanks for visiting mine and I hope for your future visits as well :)
