I think I have mentioned earlier that I don't want to invest in pieces that I wouldn't be able to get much wear out of after university. My uni class visited a successful law firm yesterday and one of the women there was wearing Acne Pistol Boots

Apparently I can't count. There are 16 pieces in that Polyvore set.

The yellow Acne dress is now on its way back. It really is easy to send back things from NAP, I only called DHL, told them when to come, signed the form - that's it. I didn't even need tape for the parcel.
Regarding the blouse: do you think something in a very light, nearly pastel mint shade could work with my teals and yellows and neutrals? My other option is a blouse with a print in eggshell/brown. I guess that always works. Jina: did the shoes arrive yet? |

I do too.
![]() ![]() Check out the previous page, RedandNavy. ![]() Oh, and have to say that the straps aren't so electric blue as pictured (more purple blueish) but I don't mind. |

Not sure if mint green will work with teal ... with yellow I know it does as that is my mother's kitchen color scheme
![]() If you're not perfectly happy with either blouse, there are & will be more ![]() Am wearing my new white T for the first time today, with my blue knit skirt & new b/w sandals. The T is very comfortable, and the sandals lots of fun. They are the kind of shoes that people stop you to talk about ![]()

Btw, this week was great because I finally got to wear my denim jacket (it wasn't warm enough before). It feels great! I feel five years younger when wearing it since it's a bit less formal than many things I own ![]() |

ugh, I just typed a long answer, and then my browser ate my post... boo. anyway, I wanted to say: yay ta-ta for those shoes, and yay R&N for that jacket! what you say is exactly what I like about it, it's cool and sophisticated at the same time, sort of agelessly cool, and that makes it really young. as for me, I got some sneakers today! I finally decided on navy Adidas with white stripes and a hot pink detail at the 'opening' of the shoe (the 'lining' is hot pink) - my browser won't let me insert a link. sigh. in the end, it was a pretty quick decision. I went to Nukuhiva, but couldn't find anything there I liked... and then went to another store, tried on several pairs, liked these the best for both comfort and aesthetics, and I got them. done.

@Jina: yay about the shoes!
@Red&Navy: I think teal and mint would be gorgeous together! Not so sure about mustard though. @Twistelette: those sneakers are so nice! @Eizhowa: I really like the IDEA of a small wardrobe but I love my clothes to much to ever be able to narrow them down to only 30 or 15 (!) pieces. I have been wearing a lot of the same stuff during the winter though because only a small part of my wardrobe have been able to keep me warm enough. Me: I have made a decission. No more purchases for me for the next time. I really feel my wardrobe working nicely and I need a break from consuming. I have not decided wether I will allow myself to get the things on my musthavelist if I should stumble upon them. I know that I would hate to pass on something perfect but somehow I feel like I would rather just ban all shopping. It is easier. And since my wardrobe is working fine without a breton sweater or a white blouse, why would I? Also I have removed two things from my musthavelist. The nude ballet flats and the black blouse. Somehow I do not really feel like I need them. |

^ It's the same with me, though I still love to look for stuff, online 'shopping' without buying anything relaxes me. What can I say, I like to watch beautiful things.
![]() Now that I checked the following items from my shopping list for Spring out I think I won't purchase anything for months: - waistcoat - black skirt - heeled sandals - necklace The last two I got as a gift and I don't count basic tees and hosiery as items. my screenshot, obv |

r&n, aqua seems like it might be more natural with teal than mint ... however, I don't know what specific pieces you're looking at wearing the blouse with.
jinadaze, I thought the shoes were all black ![]()

@Jina: I absolutely can not do that! I would rather avoid getting tempted. Wish I could though.
I haven't decided for how long I wanna keep not purchasing anything but I think maybe untill June. For starters at least. |

interesting to read how 'online window shopping' has such different benefits for everyone! for me, simply 'looking at pretty things' is a big part of it. very calming
![]() I wore my adidas sneakers yesterday, and oh my, the comfy-ness! I wouldn't say that I own any shoes that are uncomfortable, but these really are on a different level. exactly what I wanted. I wore them with my wide-legged vanessa bruno jeans, I'm afraid I looked a little 'american tourist'. heh. or maybe it wasn't that bad. I also put some items in my closet in 'winter storage' (a.k.a. the clear plastic boxes on the floor of my closet) - it's not exactly full-blown summer yet, it's hardly even really spring, but I needed to shake things up a little. I left the items that I like the most, and I took out a few pieces from my summer things, so I can bringing them into rotation. it'll be mostly as layering pieces for now, but who knows... warmer temperatures are bound to hit some day in the next... 4 months ![]() it was just a small change-up, but my wardrobe feels refreshed. |
