Its mid November already! And I’ve been a lazy blogger as always. I have on the other hand been a very busy bee at work, straddling a very fine line between being balanced and stressed out.
Fashion
Three things right now
I have a new project going as both my French course and my Writing Romance course got cancelled. I want to learn to bake.
A Japanese love story and my May wardrobe
From the most horrible winter everything quickly changed and now it´s summer! Spring, my favorite time of the year, just made a quick visit for a week and then left. So when planning my May wardrobe and the 35 pieces to go into my kinda-capsule-wardrobe I need to consider warm weather, possible changes back to winter, a lot of job-related representation and just chilling in the sun.
Spring has sprung and I´m ashamed
OK, so I have not written about my wardrobe for a while, and you may think it´s because there is nothing much to say, as I am on a shopping-ban…
Well, ehem….I haven´t kept my ban and I´m ashamed.
A trip back in time
To take my mind off things I decided to make a weekend-visit to a museum. I love museums, but I´m the kind of visitor who likes to stroll through rather quickly and then something grabs my attention and I get stuck, when other visitors slowly moves through the entire place. So qeueing is not my cup of tea! I have noticed that fashion has been accepted in the museum-world, and right now there are three different exhibitions in Stockholm with fashion themes. But since I have been eyeing the one at Nordiska Museet for some time now, that´s the one I opted for. It did´t hurt that it was vintage-themed either, you know me and vintage!
How will I survive a shopping-ban?
A week ago the city was having a taste of Spring! I took a long walk through the inner city and just enjoyed the light, the water and all the happy faces. We are a ceazy people that way, the minute the sun shines we go crazy. But it is a smart tactic – because just a few days later we had a bit of a snow blizzard, and parts of the country was snowed in. So you have to love what you get, right?
A proper January Muuuu
We haven´t had much of a winter in Stockholm this year. So far. But you always hold your breath as we enter January, because then the snow usually comes if not before. I took this photo Jan 8 and it was breathtakingly beautiful in the morning when I was going to work. It was´t really snow, just frost, but it was a warning that the weather is getting colder.
November rain
Monday started with a bang this week, the office closed and everyone switched rooms. All part of a re-organization of the kind new bosses love to stick their teeth in. I´m sure you get my point.
I was supposed to sit somewhere else but after a discussion I managed to wrestle into a room I used to have five years ago, next to the coffee-machine. That will be handy when boredom strikes and I need coffee, or just to get me through my workload that is just massive atm. This is my Monday outfit – all black!
Change is in the air! – mini wardrobe month 2
So we are entering November, possibly the most boring month of the year (except February perhaps, or January….) . Anyway, while I try to book fun events to get me through, I have also re-considered my capsule wardrobe as it is now month 2 of my project.
First week with capsule wardrobe
Okej, so I´m guessing you want to see how my first week with the capsule wardrobe has gone. It´s been GOOD. Actually, because I have been very stressed out at work for a lot of reasons, I have been grateful that I don´t have to worry about clothes. Just reach for something and go with it.
Age is just a number
