I recently realized most of my closet consists of very basic pieces, which, even though they pair with one another amazingly, never have that wow effect that you can only get from a true statement piece. This dress is just the right kind of a statement piece for me, the fabric and the cut and the unexpected green strings make it so special I’ll only want to wear it occasionally but I will sure know I don’t look basic on those days.
I’m wearing:
Dress – Anna K via Avenue32
Sneakers – Zara
Cropped flares are probably my favorite type of bottoms this spring and I was crazy happy to find these frayed edge ones from Lost Ink on a local website with a 75% discount. I love wearing my cropped flares in two ways: with heels and with sneakers.
Since they’re usually slightly unflattering to the figure, whenever I wear them to a meeting or to dinner, I prefer balancing things out with high heels. I definitely recommend pairing them with a loose top to avoid contrast between the top and the bottom in this case.
I’m also planning to wear these jeans with a pair of crispy white sneakers and a loose cardigan for an effortless look for going shopping or running errands in the city. I deliberately bought them one size larger because I love a looser silhouette, but you can easily go for a fitted style (like these or these H&M ones).
I’m wearing:
Cardigan – Mango
Khaki shirt – Zara
Jeans – Lost Ink
Heels – Asos
Sunnies – ZeroUV
Bag – Milly

The lace up fan that I am, I see no other choice but to keep wearing this trend throughout 2016, especially since it’s now expanded to so many new kinds of clothing: sweaters, jackets, shirts, you name it! I really loved the idea of keeping it simple with my new crispy white lace up sweatshirt and I haven’t worn sneakers and flares in a while so this is how this outfit was born. I stocked up on some more lace up pieces that I can’t wait to show you, so stay tuned!
I’m wearing:
Lace up sweatshirt – Shein (also love this grey one)
Flares – Baukjen
Sneakers – Zara
Bag – Saint Laurent
Watch – Daniel Wellington

Bet you guys did not expect color blocking on this blog? Neither did I, since usually it’s one of my least favorite styling techniques. Even though camel is considered a neutral color, it looks really strong combined with a dark green blazer, a recent sales find, and I loved the combo so I had to wear it the other day to meet a client. I have to confess I often opt for blazers and pumps to appear more serious than I really am 
I’m wearing:
Coat – Zara
Blazer – Zara (similar one here and here)
Jeans – Asos
Heels – Zara
Bag – Michael Kors
Necklace – Jane Kønig

I don’t know about you guys, but I personally never had a love & hate relationship with UGGs. Maybe it’s because of the really cold temperatures I sometimes find myself living in, that only these boots seem to cope with, but I always loved their minimalistic styles. I’m a huge fan of chunky boots over skinny pants, like in the old times of Givenchy or Isabel Marant, and these boots right slightly remind me of that silhouette.
I chose the classic chestnut UGGs for a short road trip with a friend the other day and I kept the rest of the outfit as simple and cozy as possible, but I definitely see myself wearing them in my looks of the day because the styling possibilities are numerous and I wouldn’t mind bringing more coziness into some of my more fashionable outfits. For every season I find a pair of flat shoes that I wanna wear all the time and these UGGs might just be the one! I do intend to challenge myself in creating a couple of less obvious outfit combos so stay tuned for that!
How do you guys feels about UGGs?
I’m wearing:
Cardigan – Zara
Sweater – Baukjen
