week 22 archive looks: more from a favourite

closed out may with some "risky" online purchases. meaning, first, i bought something that looks great in the lookbook, but i am not sure whether it will look even remotely the same on my body. i also bought a thin jersey dress for layering under a transparent dress. in theory this should work, but in practice may be a whole other story. sometimes such risky online purchases this far into a season work. sometimes they don't. keeping my fingers crossed for a positive outcome. on the archive front, i am continuing to work my way through my store of pieces from the rundholz dip 118 collection. so far, i haven't felt the urge to wear anything too bright or colourful from the archives -- really enjoying wearing black clothes or clothes in muted colours. sometimes i wonder how long this preference will last. then i think, "who cares how long it lasts -- go with what makes you feel good"!

i am wearing rundholz dip 118 (top, shorts, jumpsuit and jacket/coat) and rundholz dip 222 (sneakers). 

week 21 archive looks: accessories in the round

not sure if i have ever mentioned how much i gravitate towards bags that are round. cylindrical works too.  in the early days of the blog, i used to be much better at featuring bags, so my preferences might have been more obvious back then. or maybe not. so, for the record, if i had to choose a favourite bag shape, it would be round. or circular. or cylindrical.

week 20 archive looks: leaving a room

there is something about clothing that piques curiosity about a wearer only when they are leaving a room (or walking away from you). not saying that the clothing that i am wearing here fits the bill. i am just saying. as an aside, the rundholz dip collection for s/s 2018 (pieces of which i am wearing here) is among my favourites.

week 19 archive looks: the jumpsuit idea

might give a go at cycling through all the jumpsuits in my s/s archives. or maybe just the neutral coloured ones.

week 12 new looks: the true essence of layering?

i have developed quite the affection and attachment to the jersey top/jacket that i am wearing here.  something very attractive to me about the "tail". i particularly like it as a base layer in a layering situation. more visual interest from the side and back. the layering is actually apparent to those seeing me. as opposed to just me knowing that i am layering. probably the true essence of layering (in a styling sense). other comments: i think i prefer the skirt version of the outfit, over the trousers version of it. and, still making use of that way of half-wearing a pullover top. from my perspective, such a practical body temperature control trick.

week 10 new looks: influences

not sure how i will feel about this way of "half-wearing" a pullover. in the future when i look back on these pics. could be the near future or the distant future. but it reflects new activities in my life and their influences on my way of dressing. so i will leave it at that. except to say that it does seem to be a practical way of cooling down a little when one gets overheated from wearing the pullover "properly".

week 9 new looks: the calm before the storm?

unbelievable that in less than 30 days it will be april. april is usually when i switch over to wearing clothes designated for spring/summer (just as an fyi, i switch over to wearing clothes designated for autumn/winter in october). i know that many people do not do these switches anymore, but i still do. the first month of the switch to a spring/summer wardrobe and the last month before the switch to a fall/winter wardrobe usually turn out to be months in which i wear a lot of denim. i find it to be the perfect transitional fabric. and in the past few years, there have been lots of "innovations" in denim fabric. and lots of use of denim fabric in garments that wouldn't have ordinarily been thought of as appropriate for denim fabric. i don't usually wear a lot of denim. nor, for that matter, have i ever worn a lot of denim. but with all the "innovations", i have come to really appreciate denim. particularly in those transition months.
