week 17 new looks: goth flowers

i wasn't intending to get any matching jacket and bottoms combos this spring/summer. i wanted to start moving away from such formality in my wardrobe going forward. not that i don't (and won't in the foreseeable future) have occasion to wear such (to my mind) formal attire. i just thought i had enough of such attire in my existing wardrobe to see me through the more formal attire occasions in my future. but this skirt and jacket combo really called out to me. i hesitated for a bit. i told myself that it was because i really wanted a strictly grey wardrobe. and this skirt and jacket combo wasn't available in grey. but that was just a poor excuse -- because there were a few pieces that i was coveting that weren't part of a matching jacket and bottoms combo and at the time i didn't think i would be able to get them in grey. so eventually i listened to the very loud call of this skirt and jacket combo. no regrets (or feelings of guilt).

i am wearing rundholz dip 124 (jacket, top and skirt) and rundholz dip 123 (high tops).

week 16 archive looks: there was a plan

there was a plan for my wardrobe this season. then i started acquiring pieces from the rundholz dip spring/summer 2024 collection. (so what else is new, right? i have already said this, but it is worth repeating.) as a result, "the plan" for the wardrobe had to be modified. not scrapped, though. modified. all that means is that i will be wearing more new pieces than archive pieces this spring/summer. (the plan was to rely on archive pieces with only a few outfits made of new pieces.) on another note, it was that kind of week: not sure how many layers might be called for and whether a winter jacket might also have to put in an appearance. spring is trying.

i am wearing rundholz dip 223 (puffer jacket), rundholz dip 123 (hightops) and rundholz dip 119 (top, skirt and long-ish jacket).

week 16 new looks: grey skies may clear up but ...

some of the new additions to my ever burgeoning rundholz dip collection. i wasn't intending to add to my collection to the extent that i ended up adding to it. so what else is new, right? i am loving some of the new fabrics used this season -- like the silk/cotton blend of some pieces. i am also loving some of the new (at least to me) designs (some of the dresses in particular). and, if you know anything about me, you will know how much i love suspenders/braces, so i was thrilled to see them incorporated into the dip line. so, to sum up, looking forward to wearing my new acquisitions in the coming months.

week 15 new looks: 2 over 1

wearing a "2" jacket over "1" layers. 'cause that is my april.

i am wearing rundholz dip 124 (top, hoodie, trousers and high tops) and rundholz dip 223 (puffer jacket).

week 13 archive looks: cautiously optimistic

might be closing the autumn/winter season with these archive looks (featuring some "new" pieces). i am cautiously optimistic that spring/summer dressing is around the corner.

i am wearing rundholz dip 223 (black cardi and jacket with pocket sleeves), 123 (high tops) and 220 (tops, trench jacket, jumper dress and trousers).

week 12 archive looks: how do i know?

some archive looks for the second to last week before the scheduled switch over to the spring/summer wardrobe. plus a new favourite bag. thinking about getting another one of these ... in a colour.

p.s. i reach often for the 220 dip collection, making we wonder if of the various dip collections i possess it is a favourite one. assuming it is a favourite one, i wonder what makes it so. colour? design? fabrics? fit? wearability?

i am wearing rundholz 223 (bag), rundholz dip 223 (cardi), rundholz dip 123 (hightop sneakers) and rundholz dip 220 (top, trousers, dress and coat).

week 11 new looks: jackets, a cardi and bare arms

have been away from the blog for a bit. mostly because i have been re-wearing outfits that have already appeared on the blog. so, basically, nothing to see here. the weather in my neck of the woods has been, well, the usual for this time of year. wintery for the most part with the occasional spring-like day thrown in. so layers work best. and having puffer jackets and light jackets to hand is a must. here is how i have been coping. i will leave it at that. still a few weeks to go before i change over to pulling from the spring/summer wardrobe. there may be one or two new outfits from the autumn/winter wardrobe before then -- if i am feeling particularly inspired. (honestly, february and march are always hard months for me -- lack of inspiration big time.)  otherwise, the next time i appear here, i will be wearing spring/summer clothes.
