Outtakes

Wearing: HM chambray shirt, Asos Jeans

Sure, if you're reading my blog on a day-to-day schedule, you may have seen a photo looking like the one above. Today's article is about the pieces I don't worry about wearing a multiple of times. Some people love buying pieces of clothes matching the recent trends - don't mention the Barbie trend which is going to appear thanks to Jeremy Scott - but, in my opinion, the classics being the classics, I love wearing a button down oversized chambray shirt.

Every time I wear it, I feel like I don't have to think another seconds to what I wear. So, okay, it's actually 37F out there, and I'm more comfortable under a big fluffy blanket than outside, but being productive and active is all about dressing up in the morning (plus a giant cup of coffee, because who's kidding about this?)

Reading, following, being inspired and having a fashion blog doesn't make it easier - you always want to improve your content, because you know that there are so much girls (and boys) out there trying to upgrade their own brand, that you want to improve yours and be the best version of what you're selling. Plus, downside, there's a rumor about how you have to always buy new clothes to make it hold all together. I don't think that's the point of having a fashion blog - sure I am a little fashion blogger, but I have my own opinion about this - but, it's more about demonstrating that you can create something by yourself, which includes, yes, talking about what you love, Fashion with a big F.

So let's face it, people might judge what you think, or what you defend upon here, but who cares? I understood that being realistic about your wardrobe, and what you love wearing is kind of the point. It's tough reinventing your wardrobe every day, and no I don't say this like it's nothing, I know a lot about this - I'm only a student, in the end.

I guess, I'm defending the wear of the chambray button down shirt with passion, and it's not because I am not creative - because I do believe in creativity when it comes to your wardrobe - and actually, it can surely happen by adding something more, like a belt to tie up your coat, and like above, making a knot to your shirt to make it edgier/sexier.

Finally, it's all about reusing, recycling, reinventing yourself and interpreting the classics and the trends to make it corresponds to your own personality.

For once, I've posted a goofy picture of myself, because who cares about being distant? Real me is the girl above - always finding a way to laugh out loud and embrace tiny moments with my closed relatives.

Overthinking

Outfit of the day: Zara coat, Mango shirt, Lee Scarlett Jeans, Mango Ankle Boots

Sometimes big decisions are made without overthinking the problem over and over again. Yesterday was a day where decisions were made without thinking about it too much. 

Since it was an off duty day for everybody, I chose an off duty look to stroll out with my friend through the city on a great blue sky November day. I am completely aware that something is wrong with the weather in Paris, since it's going through and identity crisis, as I like to call it. On Monday it's was raining cats and dogs, and on Tuesday, blue sky and sunshine. Don't ask me why, but I'm good with it. 

I wore one of my absolute favorite outfit: my favorite pair of jeans from Lee, a black buttoned down shirt and a really good pair of ankle boots with chunky heels. 

The whole structure to this outfit is brought by this amazing coat I got at Zara last year, and even though it's not warm enough, I can't stop wearing it. It's too much of a basic (structured shoulder and golden buttons).

Wear It

Outfit of the day: Vintage shirt, Zara Skirt, New Balance Sneakers

Nothing beats a white buttoned down shirt paired with a zipped leather skirt. Especially when it's one from the men's wardrobe. I don't know, but oversized are always something I look for when buying something.

And I found out that hight knee socks paired with that outfit made it greater, but next time!

I can't believe October 31st is finally here - which means Halloween. So, we don't have the habit to throw a party and dressed up as they do other side of the sea, but this holiday is clearly one I love. I love Starbucks PSL, yet there's no one who doesn't love it!

Furthermore, October means that in a month, it's the end of the year. New beginnings also. Each year is a circle, but hopefully it's a good one.

Okay, I almost forgot: sneakers are the essential part of my outfit. Sneakers are not my thing, I don't use to wear a lot of sneakers, but now I'm developing a love/hate relationship.

I always wondered how to choose the perfect sneakers, the one that will slim your ankle, that will feels good and not too much. I bought this 501 New Balance in Navy, and I'm so glad I did. They kind of dressed down everything I'd wore that would be dressed up too much.

I started my collection with classics, and played it safe.

I just keep in mind that fashion is something you have fun with. It’s the point of fashion, and yea, I might say it a lot, but that’s what I believe in. Optismistic, I’m trying to be!

     Navy is such a classic color. And it goes with everything! Yea for NB!

     This Aldo necklace is something I love, it adds a twist to a simple oversized shirt.

Unexpected

Sometimes life hits you harder than expected. Like others I like the security of the casualty and the safety of knowing that everything gravitating around you is under control, that it’s going to follow the path you drew in your mind. But, as I grew up more this year, I realized, some changes are sometimes more necessary than others. Being personal isn’t quite easy – and I guess, I’m not the first one saying that – but, starting this blog was kind of an unexpected and rush decision. I still don’t know if it was good or bad, but what I know is I quite enjoy it.

Well, there’s a lot of bloggers out there, and I was impatient to be a part of something I was really enjoying, and where I could just express myself my way.

As the whirlwind of the Fashion month ended just yesterday, I know - even if I didn’t get to be a part of it like the big bloggers I really admire, that I want to be a part of it. And, since, the work is the only way to climb the grades, I will do as it has to be done.

So as for now, this post being a little more personal than usual, I’d like to know what kind of thing I could upgrade here – besides the templates, which will be upgraded in a higher level soon enough. Having fun is the important part, and I will, for now on, stick to that idea that what you have to do for you is keep in mind that everything related to your work life should be enjoyed and not sustained.
