Long time, no see
I have been beyond busy, and have missed you guys a lot!
@Ta-ta: the dress look gorgeous - it seriously ticks me off when people sell items that are faulty in some way. I just think it is plain bad behaviour. Hopefully karma will bite them in the butt. Hope the cleaner is able to fix it - I would demand a reduction in the price anyhow. Your new ballet flats are gorgeous as well.
@Caramel: I remember you showing that fabric in the sewing thread. The result is gorgeous
would love to see the coat as well.
@Adorefaith: The print is beautifull! Hopefully a party will come along - otherwise I think it would look great for everyday as well with a fitted light weight sweater in beige, nude or a light grey - and for spring with ballet flats and a white shirt.
BTW you guys might need to "settle" for a trip around Europe, since my hubby to be and I are very close to securing our dream location as well
Yesterday I finally returned the coat I was talking about. I have really been back and forth, but in the end it was not "it". I think I have come to the conclusion that the current outerwear style is just no good for me. I feel like most coats are oversize or very long and that just looks ridicoulous on me since I am so tiny. Also a lot of coats are very open in the front, and that makes no sense to me. So I'll wait to the right coat comes along - not exactly sure how it will look though - I want something feminine and classic.
For some reason I feel like I have shopped a lot lately, but in reality I can only recall a few thrift finds. A couple of weeks ago I hit the jackpot, when just leaving the house to go grocery shopping. My local thrift store had a really gorgeous bouclé jacket in the window, and I only went in to confirm that it was not my size, since jackets and coats in smaller sizes are rare in that store. It turned out to be a Sand jacket, my exact size and I got it for 2% of the retail price. Score
Even though it is not black it pretty much fills the same gap that a black bouclé (which I have had on my wishlist) would have, while being more dressy - I have been wearing it a lot with my black full skirt, black sweater and my buckle boots. It is just very classic and chic yet still somewhat contemporary even though it is a couple of years old at least. Not the best picture, it has a metallic thread in the weave, that looks really nice. I have recieved lots of compliments on it. I think it is probably my best thrift store find ever, and I have had quite a few. When I was in Jutland a few weeks ago I also thrifted a couple of party dresses; a white flapper-ish fringe dress and a Baum und Pferdgarten sequin dress. The first one I bought because I was supposed to go to a great Gatsby party, but I think I will wear it for regular parties as well - would probably look good with my sequin kimono.
Still no real gaps to fill - I am keeping my eyes open if the right coat come along, but truth be told I am quite happy with my down jacket ATM and it works fine for most outfits. I also have a few items that I waiting to see wether makes the sales. I would really like a pair of over knee boots though. I don't
need boots but at the same time I wear boots pretty much all year round and I think they would be a nice addition.
In general I am still very happy with wardrobe though, and I feel like I am always discovering something "new". - this fall I for example, I have been eyeing all of the mock-turtle lace blouses, which can be a really nice detail under a sweater - only to remember, that I actually have a bra, boughjt 5 years ago, with a lace collar attached to the straps, that adds just the same feel. I love being able to shop my own wardrobe like that.

), second-hand is about what I had $$ left for 
Hopefully the fit will be good ...
Back in early autumn I also bought a pair of suede heeled booties which are super comfy (has a small platform) and works well with most of my semi-dressy outfits. I wore them around lots on my trip to London in October with no pain, so yay for comfy heels! 
I am finally admitting to myself that stilettos are not for me, I feel like I always look a little wobbly in them because my feet are quite wide. I think I'm going to try to sell the Sam Edelman Okala pumps that I bought last year, as well as the Geox pumps that I got this summer. They are both super comfy, but I just don't think they look right on me, and they haven't gotten much wear. 
, why oh why, so that one was also not for me. 
The search continues. 
We are constantly bombarded by advertisements, you would think they could do some good for once ...
