H&M skirt & top // Essentiel bag // Brandless shoes
I always do the opposite of what “the normal people” are doing. Like when we are in Psychology class and we have to choose the right solution for a case study and everyone says A and I say B, or like this post. Everyone is saying how much they love fall and sum up a million reasons why, but I have to come in and ruin the magic by pointing out why I don’t like it. Sometimes I am right when I go left (weird formulation) and sometimes I am not. Let’s see if you can agree with me on some of these?
- Leaving home before the sun is up, and coming home after it went off to shine over America. Short days, long school hours.
- Waiting in the dark for the bus to college, 95% of the time I’m doing so in pouring rain.
- Pouring rain.
- Leaves sticking on my heels. SO not classy.
- The ice cream car doesn’t pass daily anymore 🙁
- There are no strawberries!
- Untameble flyaways from pulling wool sweaters over my head.
- People with really big umbrellas on narrow sidewalks. They almost poke your eyes out when they cross you.
- Extra crowded busses
- Leaving your big umbrella on the crowded bus home after school when you have to walk home in the dark and pouring rain. #justgreat
Ofcourse the list of reasons I love fall is endless. For example: the colour scheme. I love the warm colours you see in both nature and fashion stores. Mustard is overrepresented in my wardrobe, but oxblood really is the it-colour this fall. I bought this skirt at H&M last week without thinking it over. Not that it needed much consideration as it was only €15, it’s a pencil skirt and it’s oxblood. FYI, oxblood is a really horrible name for such a pretty colour. I like bordeaux better. Just say it with a french accent. Fancy smanchy! Once I got home I realised I had no idea how to wear this colour. My issue of Instyle mag suggests dark navy and black, but I wanted someting more fresh looking for the early days of fall. I randomly started throwing on my T-shirts and this (old) pastel pink lace number from looked suprisingly good! An outfit was born. I love it! What would you pair oxblood with?
omg u haar is super mooi!! De kleur is echt super! En die rok staat je super mooi!
I don't have any oxblood clothes, but I saw the other day that someone paired it with mint green and it looked really good.
love your style!
OK, as much as I LOVE fall, I have to agree with you about the shorter days. There's nothing I hate more than leaving when it's dark, and getting home when it's dark. And when it gets dark when I'm STILL at work.
But I do love layering, and the colors are to die for! Also, I read 'bordeaux' automatically in a French accent 😉 The color looks great on you! I might try it out with some mustard yellow.
Ik sta er ook niet voor te springen hoor 🙁 Kon het maar altijd zomer zijn!

Lol. There are a ton of reasons to hate the fall (and to love it), but it is sad to hear that you are already seeing so little sunlight. Living in an arid desert, I'm not sure I even own an umbrella. We do usually get snow on Halloween.
THat's a pretty color, but I'm not sure what other colors you'd pair it with besides neutrals like white, black and cream….maybe a tan or a grey too.
You look great in it at anyrate!
I don't think there is anything I dislike about Autumn. <3 As for Ox Blood, I agree on the name! Eep. Bordeaux is so much prettier. 😀 Also, as for me, I'd pair a bordeaux blouse with slightly flared dark wash jeans and stacked black heels!
I love your skirt! I guess fall has it's benefits and down points!
haha leuk artikel 🙂 ik vind de kleur van je rokje erg mooi! ♥
Ohh, the oxblood trend. The color itself is great but the name is something special. I'm sure I'd try the color with everything in my closet just to be sure I didn't miss a winning (and dozens of losing) combination(s).
I agree that oxblood is a terrible name but that skirt is beautiful!
Also you are experiencing autumn in the wrong country! Here the sun is still shining and I'm still wearing shorts!

De rok is echt mooi! Heb hem zelf in het zwart

You are so gorgeous !! Love the skirt 🙂

Love the colour of your pencil skirt! I think you can pair it with tans, and greys and blacks and navys like you said. Pastels and white work well too, to be really autumnal and match the leaves you could try orange!

Ahh leaves stuck on heels is the worst! But I've got to admit I kind of love how dark it is in Winter. :). And oxblood is the coolest colour name ever!
I can see the ingenuity and good taste that inspire you to do this job.
I agree with you about hating to get somewhere in the dark. Early sunsets are my least favorite thing about fall, but I will take them for all of the pumpkin flavored treats!

Mooiste outfit ever ofzo? Echt je ziet er geweldig uit op deze foto's. En jouw 10 redenen om de herfst niet leuk te vinden deel ik volledig. Ugh, die korte dagen, ik kijk er echt niet naar uit.
LOVE the skirt! Great outfit…
I would also pair it with mint green, and fun gold accessories. I dress very strange.

Heel mooi! Girly, maar toch ook classy, mooie combi!
En ik hou van de herfst en winter… en al je 'blugh' redenen zijn allemaal waar, maar ik heb evenveel 'blugh' redenen voor de zomer 😉
Cute outfit, I love your bag 🙂
I also pair it with white, black too, but it doesn't stand out as goos as it does with white! Great outfit.
love your skirt! thanks for visiting my blog 🙂
