Cheap

Cheap as in inexpensive, not as in tacky - I hope.

(Haha)

Well. Both the trousers and the t-shirt were bought on sale a few months ago and have been worn often since. The shoes were bought new online and were a pretty good deal. The total for the entire outfit came to just under 23€ (this is relevant as I'm still unemployed).




The shirt is ridiculously thin and soft.


I need a haircut.

The blogger returns

If there was ever a good reason to let your blog be taken over by the weeds of neglect, your dissertation would be it. But now the weather is warmer, people are walking around in micro-shorts and cute sandals and my interest in fashion was rekindled.

Outfit posts will be returning soon (I have some saved up). Today's post is a mix of outfits I put together in my head after browsing Pull & Bear.

Se alguma vez houve uma boa razão para abandonar um blog à mercê das ervas daninhas, essa razão seria uma tese de mestrado. Mas agora o tempo está mais quente, as pessoas andam por aí em micro-calções e sandálias engraçadas, e o meu interesse nas modas passageiras foi reateado.

Os posts de outfits regressarão em breve. O post de hoje é uma mistura de outfits imaginados a partir de algumas peças da colecção da
Pull & Bear.

I swear I'm not obsessed

I'm usually pretty good at dismissing things that are out of my price range. I'll just convince myself that the high street shops will eventually make something similar. But then this happened:



I've talked about BBC's new Sherlock and the main character's coat of awesome before; now there's the actor who played him and the coat of wonder Harper's Bazaar shot him in. Downside? It's by Burberry Prorsum (I almost choked just typing that name) and you can get it for the modest amount of £1.495. Presumably (I couldn't find it on the website and even checked the women's section just in case they decided the man needed a bit more feminility - and a cinched waist - in his life).

(I can't help it. I love coats.)

Style.com

This morning I browsed Style.com for the first time (better late than never) while waiting for a phone call - so I had a legitimate excuse not to be working on my dissertation. I'm glad I did it, I really needed some fresh inspiration for the weather we've been having - grey and rainy, but not quite cold yet.

The outfit I never want to take off.

I've been wearing a version of this outfit almost everyday, alternating between lighter and darker trousers, baggier and more fitted tops. This style of trousers is basically everything anyone could ever want: comfortable like pyjamas (I needed a break from skinny jeans) + dress-up and dress down potential. Hmmm.

Mish mash.

Autumn is not quite here yet, but it seems like a good time to say goodbye to Summer, short sleeves and pink nails.
