weeks 41 to 43 new looks: increasingly harder to choose

it seems that, with every new rundholz dip season, i am finding it increasingly difficult to land on a single colour palette for the season. part of the challenge is that i can only see the available colour palettes online and i cannot always get a true sense of the colour palettes. but i think i am also struggling to pick a favourite. this autumn winter, i have decided to play with three colour palettes: dakar, terracotta and dark dakar.

weeks 39 and 40 archive looks: falling in love again

variations on a theme. craving (and enjoying) a kind of uniform dressing. a trouser, a t-shirt, some kind of layer over the t-shirt -- a pullover, a sweatshirt, a cardigan, a jacket -- and an outer layer for the cooler days. also falling in love again with the rundholz dip 223 collection (or at least the pieces of it that live in my archives). and discovering how one top works with different bottoms (and vice versa).

week 38 archive looks: hazel with a mix of browns

just looking for ease and comfort as i transition into autumn and look forward to wearing the rundholz dip 226 collection. i think that, every year, my first autumn outfits have been from my rundholz dip archives. in the past, this was not by design. this year, wearing outfits from my archives as my first autumn outfits is by design. difficult as it may be to resist hopping into some new clothing, i want to take the time to get to know the new clothing before wearing it. my hope is to avoid outfit mistakes. i will let you know how this goes.

i am wearing rundholz dip 126 (footwear) and rundholz dip 223 (clothing). i am also featuring the nina bag by olend.

weeks 36 and 37 archive looks: from light to dark

i try not to buy the exact same pieces of clothing in different colour ways, but, sometimes, despite best efforts, i do end up with the same pieces of clothing in different colour ways. having the same pieces of clothing in different colour ways helps when i have become really comfortable wearing certain outfits and the thought of having to construct new outfits is just a bit much. i can keep wearing the same outfits but in a different colour way. i do not have to step out of my comfort zone. at the same time, because i am wearing a different colour way, i can feel like i am wearing something different. (not that there is anything wrong with wearing the exact same thing over and over again -- i have done it many a time.)

weeks 34 and 35 new looks: third colour

i purchased a few items from the rundholz dip 126 collection in sky. the ones shown here. (and a pullover. not shown here.) the first purchase was the boiler suit. no explanations needed for that one (i hope) -- a boiler suit being one of my favourite pieces of clothing. then i bought the denim pieces. the cropped jacket i bought to pair with the boiler suit. the trousers and other jacket i bought to complete the denim collection in sky. i suppose i could (should) have resisted doing that since i already have it in amber and linen. but i did not resist. the past two weeks i have been wearing light coloured denim (various degrees of bleached denim) (from my rundholz dip archive), not something i have always been fond of doing. but it felt so natural. i pulled out these new pieces at the tail end of those two weeks. wearing them also felt natural. so i am not sorry that i introduced a third colour into my rundholz dip 126 collection.

weeks 34 and 35 archive looks: sometimes recognizing love takes time

the occasion of the rundholz dip 125 collection was the first time i bought bleached denim pieces. some pieces were bleached to a baby blue shade and some were bleached to a beige shade. it was not love at first sight with these pieces, in particular, the completely bleached out pieces, but there was some sort of enduring connection to them. i pulled some of the most bleached denim pieces out recently and i found wearing them was so comfortable, so right. i guess sometimes it takes time for me to recognize love.

p.s. showing my sneaker head side again. it first appeared last summer. this summer i have homed in on my favourite brands/collections and started focussing my collection of sneakers on those. maybe i should introduce more of my collection here?

i am wearing rundholz dip 126 (blue pullover), rundholz dip 125 (remaining clothes and orange and griege sneakers) and adidas japan sneakers.

week 33 new looks: cropped jacket

i love a cropped jacket. but incorporating it into an outfit is not always easy for me.
