So I didn't go out in this yesterday but lately my uniform has been some variation of this. Every year when winter rolls around, no matter the trends, I always resort to the same look: jeans, a big sweater / v-neck sweaters / crew neck sweaters. Sounds boring I know but I think the best dressed people out there are the ones who don't try so hard. I think it is tough not to get sucked into the seasonal trends, especially when there are so many Zara and H&Ms out there, but guaranteed everyone looks their absolute best in what they feel most comfortable in.
I get quite a few people asking me where I get my 'style sense' from and to be quite honest, I have no idea. When I buy clothing, I don't buy with an outfit in mind. I buy the item. When I get home, all it is is trying to pair the best items together, literally making do with what you have. I don't like to spend buttloads of money on daily wear (except for timeless items) but I do like to spend on the items that last beyond the season.
My favourite high street stores for minimalism and quality are:
COS - www.cosstores.com/
Club Monaco - www.clubmonaco.com/
Weekday (if you live in a Nordic country / Germany) - www.weekday.se/
Aqua (online shopping) - www.aquabyaqua.com/
Burberry Prorsum shearling coat, Acne jeans and belt, COS sweater, Jimmy Choo boots (got at a greeeeat sample sale)
Happy sale shopping everyone!
