Looks like the season of running from one building to another at the speed of light and with clenched teeth is getting to an end,  at least according to the weather app on my iPhone! I do have a couple winter outfits to show you though where there’s still some snow. This particular styling was inspired by one of  my own posts from a couple weeks ago, turns out they are useful after all!

I’m wearing:

Coat – Choies (old one, similar one here and here)
Blazer – Zara
Turtleneck – Shein
Pants – Baukjen
Iphone case – Richmond&Finch

As part of Asos Be Yourself project I was asked to pick an outfit from Asos that would represent my everyday work style and answer a couple of questions about my work. I have to admit I’m lucky to wear whatever I like whenever I like since I don’t work at an office anymore, but naturally I try to make my clothes look appropriate to where I’m going and fulfill specific tasks.

1. Where do you work and what’s your position?
I work as a fashion stylist on shootings, a personal stylist and a blogger.

2. Which aspects of your work make you get out of bed every morning with enthusiasm?
Every day is not like the other, at work I’m always challenged creatively and get to meet new inspiring people everyday. I’m a huge perfectionist and it makes me happy to see my work highly appreciated, and for that I’m ready to wake up as early as needed.

3. What is a standard dress code in your industry?
No dresscode whatsoever.

4. What constitutes your ultimate outfit combination?
My ultimate combination has to be comfortable, flattering and trendy. I need to be at multiple places throughout the day so I keep all these aspects in mind, when I get dressed in the morning.

5. What are your favorite work shoes and why?
Definitely ankle boots. They are edgy, comfortable and work with so many outfit combinations.

6. Any tips on how to save time doing your hair in the morning?
There’s this old school thing I’m doing every morning. After I wash and blow dry my hair I’m using velcro rollers to add some volume to the roots while I’m doing my makeup. It works!

7. Can you give an advice, fashion-related or not, to the people wishing to work in your industry?
The hardest thing is always to persuade yourself you can achieve things, once you do that the rest is a piece of cake! As for the fashion advice, always analyze the effect you want your clothes to have on people and dress according to that.

8. Why you chose this outfit combination?
I wore this particular outfit yesterday, which was my normal work day, where I styled a shooting in the morning, had my pictures taken in the afternoon, went to pickup clothes and accessories for the upcoming shooting and had a meeting with a client after. A warm statement coat and the turtleneck kept me warm, while the moderate heel on the boots and some loose-fitting jeans kept me comfortable. In a warmer weather I would probably replace the coat with a blazer, and wear some pumps instead, but this pretty much sums up what I like to wear everyday.

I’m wearing:

Faux fur coat – Asos
Turtleneck – Asos
Jeans – Asos
Snake print boots – Asos
Bag – Saint Laurent
Watch – Mark Bale

A very simple and obvious color combo, but one of my favorite nevertheless. I just love how the tan color of this suede-looking coat (previously worn here) is amplified by the blue background (actually more navy in real life but these pics were taken at dusk so the exposure settings had to go up).

Also here’s a trick how to wear culottes with flats, sure the cropped pants + sneakers take away from your height, but the top and the bottom are the same color, which elongates your silhouette, so call it even!

I’m wearing:

Coat – Shein (check out this real suede one here)
Turtleneck – Zara (similar one here)
Culottes – Chicwish (similar ones here)
Sneakers – Adidas Stan Smith (lots of options here)
Bag – Saint Laurent
Watch – Michael Kors

Robe coats are definitely one of my biggest weaknesses this season, and if you remember my love for coats you’ll know I won’t stop until I get at least a dozen, haha. This one from the British store Baukjen I’ve worn like twenty times already, my favorite combos are definitely with my good old Stan Smiths.

I’m wearing:

Coat – Baukjen (lots of options in my recent post)
Turtleneck – Asos (similar one here and here)
Jeans – Choies
Sneakers – Adidas Stan Smith
Bag – Marc B
Watch – Michael Kors

I’ve lost count of how many outfits this camel coat was featured in on the blog, probably at least a dozen. It still remains one of my go-to outerwear pieces even though I constantly update my collection, and I don’t plan to change that in the near future.  I actually think a good camel coat is one of the best wardrobe investments, especially if you’re a business person or prefer classic dressing. I guess I’m neither of those so I like to keep my camel coat outfits on an edgier side, in this case with loose-fitting jeans and a lot of metallic hardware.

I’m wearing:

Coat – Zara (similar one here)
Turtleneck – H&M (similar ones here and here)
Jeans – Vogos
Boots – Zara
Bag – Milly

I guess it’s bad for a style blogger to admit what I’m about to say, but high street sales don’t attract me as much as they used to. It’s probably because the stuff is so cheap I would usually end up with a bag of crap that I’d regret buying the very next day. So when I went sales shopping with my sister last week I only allowed myself to buy these shoes, and even though they were ridiculously cheap, I know I’ll be happy to wear them next year or even after that (if they last that long!). In case you forgot, the trick is to buy items that are comfortable, high quality and have timeless design.

I’m wearing:

Camel coat – Zara (similar ones here, here and here)
Turtleneck – Sheinside
Pants – Zara (similar ones here)
Boots – Pull&Bear (similar ones here, here and here)
Bag – Milly
Watch – Michael Kors

The entire summer I thought these skirts were not my style, but then I realized I have no style, so why not try something like this? The skirt itself is a very powerful piece so I hope I managed to tone it down a little bit with a simple turtleneck and a hat. What do you guys think?

I’m wearing: 

Skirt – Chicwish
Turtleneck – Zara (similar one here and here)
Hat – Oasap
Bag – Asos
Heels – Zara (similar ones here and here)

I don’t know if you guys are all fully stocked for winter, but in my case, I love recycling some of my summer or in-between clothes up until it gets really chill, and by chill I mean heavy snowfalls and below zero temperatures. xD This winter I want to invest in a gorgeous gray knit and maybe get some beige and navy ones along the way. Here’s a little inspo for you if you’re looking for a good sweater like me.

Some people will definitely find oversized neoprene turtlenecks downright ugly, but I really wanted to get one for a long time. Except for the obvious wind proofness it also looks very edgy, and edgy is just what I want to add to my outfits this year. Took these pictures about a month ago when it was still warm and sunny and just came around to posting them. Don’t think I will sport a bare leg in the next couple of months
