& OTHER STORIES camera bag ⎜ ZARA cashmere cardigan ⎜ ISABEL MARANT x H&M dress
CELINE Audrey sunglasses ⎜ MASSIMO DUTTI camel coat⎜ ZARA slip dress
The first month of the year is now officially over and although I promised myself to cut back on the shopping, I've been quite mild to myself in January. Sales always seduce me to "quickly pop by" stores and "just browse" online shops, especially when I'm eager to score items I've been luring at for quite some time. Yes, I'm talking about the camera bag, the camel coat and the slip dress! As usual, I also purchased some things from the new collection that were on my wishlist. I finally managed to chase down the Céline Audrey sunglasses (thanks Kim!) and treated myself after my last exam! Aren't they just a dream? They're definitely a blogger hype but I feel like this frame is the perfect one for my face. For me they're definitely worth the wait. Another treasure I miraculously got my hands on is this Isabel Marant pour H&M dress. I hopelessly failed in lining up back in November and by the time I got in, the dress was obviously sold out. My internet browsing skills come in handy sometimes and a few weeks ago I suddenly tracked down this beauty (my size, unworn with tags ànd for a cheaper price!) somewhere in Amsterdam. Summer better arrives soon so I can pretend to be all hobo chic. Now, the good thing here is that I haven't indulged in impulsive shopping, except for the cashmere cardigan that was 60% off and that I'm loving big time now. Joy!
In the beginning of the year I told you about the 5 Piece Wardrobe system that I was really curious about. I'm still not quite sure wether this is my ideal shopping system. The thing is that I'm not that minimalistic blogger with a closet that consists of about seven white/grey/black pieces and I do like a cheap and fun impulse buy now and then. I did make a list of basics I still need but finding these seems harder than I thought. Still haven't stumbled upon the perfect boyfriend jeans or my dream pair of grey skinny jeans, for example. But, the search continues and this week is fully dedicated to detoxing my wardrobe! It's something I'd recommend you filling your Saturday afternoon with, since it's so liberating. Grab yourself a glass of wine, invite a friend, put on your favourite music and throw out all of the unnecessary! Freedom.
