End of the summer

(Massimo Dutti blazer, Zara dress, COS trousers, Birkenstock sandals, Triwa watch and Ray-Ban sunglasses)

Started adding extra layers now that we're slowly moving on into the next season. Am now wearing this dress over a pair of trousers and I finish the look with a sweater or, in this case, a simple blazer.

Comfort above all else

Comfort above ALL else? Well, it might sound strange but there áre times when fashion and my own personal style are the furthest things from my mind. And these times are actually not even that rare for me. It's really not often that I put a lot of tought in what I'm going to wear - and even less time is spent on "doing my hair". I tend to dress in whatever suits my mood for the day and lately it's been all about comfort. So on a random (windy?) day chances are you'll find me dressed in loose fits, Birks and with La Coupe Storm. Obviously I couldn't just head into an office like this (and thankfully I don't often have to!) but I think with this kind of outfit a nice pair of shoes and a hairbrush is really all it would take to make it "office-appropriate" as well.

Linen blazer

One of the few things on my wishlist for this season was a new classic linen blazer, preferably in sand or cream colour. This one from Massimo Dutti that I picked up in London was pretty much just what I had in mind. I feel that a blazer like this is timeless and can be worn with casual as well as more dressy ensembles.
