A Modern Touch

A Modern Touch

As I said on Monday, today I take Joan Holloway as a personal inspiration and show you my modern interpretation. I brought Joan in our times, but kept the classy touch. To keep the vibe, I wore an all vintage outfit, except for the Zara pumps, and strolled down the street with a Mad Men attitude. However, instead of making an old-style bun, I chose to drop the curls and straighten my hair, for a different look. My point is, an outfit inspired from a 60s – 70s look makes a great summer choice or an office look. If we’re talking about the classic pencil skirt and shirt combination, it’s all in the colours and the shirt chosen. I went for a summerish, flower print, tied around the waist shirt, and for a wider skirt in a bright colour, which made it perfect for a summer walk. That does not mean that in order to make it a great office look, you need to constrain yourself to dark colours. It can also have these colours, just choose a different shirt, maybe a simpler one, and don’t tie it. Also, for a more formal look, a bun might look better. It’s all about picking a bit of inspiration from here, a bit from there, and mixing it all in the end! I really liked this outfit and the classy touch that it has, so Joan for sure knew what she was doing when she was rocking those looks! Let me know what you think of finding inspiration in a series/ an older decade, if you like my interpretation and of...

Like A Boy

Long time, no see! Last time I was writing I was in Romania, enjoying what was an extremely welcomed and relaxing vacation! Now I am back in Belgium, still holding to that holiday feeling, and mostly thinking about the summer ahead, but assignments are bringing me back from the clouds and reminding me that they come first, and then summer, ugh… So, I have to “man up” and stop day dreaming and actually start doing them. So, in the light of this feeling, I am presenting to you today, this boyish outfit, because, well, sometimes you feel like giving up those cute, little skirts, and have a more serious look with a masculine-cut blazer and a bold attitude! You already know that I love blazers, so since I went home with little clothes, I indulged myself with a trip to my mum’s closet where I found this beauty and I decided that it has to take a walk with me! It’s impressive how creative you have to get when you don’t have your usual clothes with you and you find yourself in front of some old clothes that you left home and then you match them with some of my mum’s – thank God – inspired wardrobe! I actually like it, it’s a challenge to match things that you don’t have in mind; however, if I have to rush and I have to do this, you might not want to be in my way, as I will be having a nervous breakdown until I find what I want. And that’s where my manly look ends and my girly attitude...
