Some days I just want to wear PJs as day t say clothes and this top/dress is the perfect choice. It is both structured and loose, but the off shoulder style gives femininity and balances the cocoon shape of the entire look.

I want to wear this every day !

By now, I am sure that you have noticed my passion for very casual outfits that are easy to wear and match. I found this jacket browsing Asos (as always)...And before you say anything, I am a bit OCD and the first thing I do in the morning (after I check my emails) is to check what's new on Asos - that is why I always find new pieces.

As I was saying, I found this amazing military jacket and I simply imagined myself wearing it in many ways: matched with a velvet slip dress in dark navy to the way I'm wearing it today with a basic pair of jeans and a black top. The choice is endless and the fabric is a great quality, but I must warn you...it is not waterproof. However, for me ... I'll just have to have an umbrella with me this autumn.

Go wild!

Accessories are an important part of my daily routine. Although I have moved away (quite a bit) from earrings, I have started to wear more chokers, frames, hats and bracelets.
I have always had a passion for them from when I was younger and used to wear quirky items such as round glasses or colourful belts - to current days...when I am more simple and I love nothing more than a nice black hat (that for once fits me because I have the smallest head possible) which is easily matched with everything from a ruffle long boho dress to double denim looks.

Today's entire look is focused on details:

- from the simple black ruffle blouse that mirrors the hat
- the raw stepped hem denim skirt that is the best choice is you are looking for a casual, laid back look to carry you into the winter: you can wear it with boots, flats, pumps or a pair of distressed boots for an edgy look ;) OR a pair of black Loboutins for a more sophisticated look

- TO:

-the embroidered denim jacket with a very suggestive message: Au Revoir. I love clothes that help me send a message to everyone: from "maybe I'm in love" to "I'm heartbroken" or "in a bad mood". You can find your own suggestive print that represents your mood the best. For me, this jacket is very significant because I am now saying goodbye to the student life and moving into adulthood (boooh)
- the jacquard boots are just the cherry on top. Statement, pretty and comfortable. They are easy to match with almost everything because their colour palette is comprised of different blues and a pinch of bright orange ;) they look amazing with distressed denim or velvet, but also with silk and chiffon.
- the simple belt to cinch-in my waist and add a bit more shape to the look

AND I'M GOOD TO GO

The important pieces: hat, statement jacket and boots.

Sometimes looking smart is all about accessories.

Slowly moving into Autumn and I love it. I adore wearing thick, cosy fabrics such as neoprene or knitwear in simplistic and minimal shapes and cuts. This A/W the clean designs matches with velvet or duvet style jackets are a huge trend that I think will make most people happy. Who doesn't love wearing their duvet to work ??!??

Although, I am still trying to find that perfect huge and comfy jacket...

BUT

I found this grey neoprene dress while browsing Asos after I read the October Issue of Vogue and... I had to have it. I love hiding in its cocoon shape while still showing a bit of skin by wearing just trainers. To add a more delicate touch, feel free to match it with a pair of over the knee boots or ankle boots.
The thick T-Shirt top fabric is ideal for a casual day at the park or for a day at work with the added bonus that you can hide your phone in the front pockets ;) (without anyone noticing it)

To counteract its bulky look, I had to tone down everything else from make-up to accessories and hair.

Sometimes less is definitely more.

I like to believe that I am a fairly confident person, that I am aware of my qualities and flaws (too many of the latter) and that I walk thorough life with a sense of self belief (at times).
and...
Clothes help me to build my confidence in times of anxiety or disbelief. They can show me I can be tough, feminine and delicate separately or all in one. Is up to me and my choice to portray to the world what I what them to see. With my anxiety and constant mood swings, I need constant reassurance to allow me to function as a "normal" human. That is where I use clothes to build myself from a down, miserable mood into a functional one.

This denim ruffle top is great because the fabric is gorgeously soft, yet the frills have a certain wave to them that accentuate the shoulders and neckline giving me a very delicate look. The wide-leg faux leather look trousers in nude add an edgy feel and a touch of structure to my hectic self, yet the boots come to show off my crazy bubbly self.

One look to show my self.

For the night time look, I added a pair of heels, some long sparkly earrings and a basic white bag that is able to fit my loafers in. Easy peasy !
To avoid the need to do my hair, a sleek and low ponytail is a great choice allowing you to do it in front of the bathroom mirror at work or Uni. 

Side note: everything is really comfy too

It is incredible how time flies... It's Friday the 9th of September and my Master of Research degree is officially done. It seems like only yesterday I started University as a shy girl, coming from Romania, with her bright pink and half silver hair and big glasses. I look back at those days with nostalgia because these years will never come back.

However, I am happy to grow up and move forward with both my career and my blogging. Now, the ugly truth of finding a job and paying taxes is here and I have to own up to it (meh).

I want to (still) dwell on the past (just a tiny bit longer) and that is why today's look is based on a teenager's look: dungarees, ruffles and pink Dr. Martens - simple yet effective. To add a bit of femininity, I am wearing a see-through lace ruffle top that is very comfortable, breezy and the fabric is great quality. There is nothing I despise more than uncomfortable, scratchy, rough fabrics - I truly can't comprehend why companies prefer using them (well, maybe because they are cheap Andra, d'oh!).

For a bit of sparkle, I used cute pins attached to my dungarees. Using such accessories is a great trick to turn a plain outfit into a completely different one (plus, it is a great why to save money). For example, a plain black tee can become instantly more elegant by adding a Chanel inspired pin or a vintage one. On the other hand, using pop-art inspired pins on a silk black shirt will give it a casual vibe. It's up to you !
