The past ten years have been a hot mess. Getting two degrees, our first appartment, my first job, moving 40km away from home, our first house, a burnout, a dog, a break-up, a tinder account, a new appartment and a fresh start all while travelling from pillar to post, maintaining a social life, get enough sleep, pay my bills and remember to make dinner before 10PM. Adulting is weird. Still not sure how I get to be unsupervised all the time. Or how I am staying alive. Soooo ready for those dirty thirties, baby. Bring it. ๐ŸŽ‚๐ŸŽ๐ŸŽˆ๐ŸŽ‰

Casual Style, Fall/Winter, Style · 22 December 2014

The Last Leaves Have Fallen

The last leaves have fallen and winter has come. The first layers of frost have made me curse about forgetting to put a scraper in the car and losing my gloves somewhere in my drawers. I scratched the windshield with my Ikea Family card and warmed my fingers with a take-away coffee. I am never ready for the first sting of winter, but at least I tried a little this year.
A few months ago I was feeling down after life had been a bitch (there simply is no other word) and I needed a pick-me-up. Breakfast and a good chat with one of my best friends, an extra coffee afterwards and a dose of retail therapy instantly made me feel better. This ginormous turtleneck sweater was found at Zara that day and I freaking love it. Because it’s big. Because it’s cozy. Because the colors are perfect (it’s deep purple with hints of navy blue). The wool is a bit itchy, but I ain’t complaining for โ‚ฌ27. As soon as I threw it over the register, I knew this knit was also going to keep me warm and comfortable during my study weeks in late December and January.
Yup, it’s that time of year again when the whole world celebrates the Holidays and I close my bedroom door and hibernate until February. But you can hardly call it a winters sleep. February, our salvation. So far away, still. I have 5 exams this round and am already wishing for the last one to be over. They’re all oral examinations too, all but one, and I cannot express how much I dislike those. I’d rather write my answers down than having to defend them in front of my professors. Something about bad experiences with elementary school teachers that even more than 10 years later, I still don’t like them fellows. 
Thank you for reading again, and have a lovely week! If there are other students among you: pour yourself an extra cup of coffee and go for it. Good luck with your exams! I’ll be studying with you (and Tweeting and SnapChatting and Instagramming excessively while doing so).

    Good luuuuck!
    I’ve stopped buying things that are even a little bit itchy, because I know I end up never wearing them once that first love is over.

    That is such a cosy looking knit! So nice with the denim too ๐Ÿ™‚

    Good luck with your study – hope that you manage to find the right balance between studying and relaxing ๐Ÿ™‚

    Hope you have a wonderful Christmas!

    Ik heb deze examenperiode na jaren van mondelinge examens weer schriftelijk + multiple choice en ik haat dat! Mondeling is echt in uw voordeel en een gift van de prof. Succes ermee!

      Oh, Ik word er alleen zo zenuwachtig van dat ik met mezelf geen blijf weet. Om mezelf een beetje onder controle te houden heb ik telkens het eerste tijdslot gekozen. Ondertussen zijn mijn examens achter de rug. Heb jij er nog te gaan? Alvast veel succes gewenst!

    Super mooie trui indeed!
    Heel veel succes Nikki! Ik weet dat je het kan ๐Ÿ™‚ En zie de voordelen in van mondeling: als je helemaal verkeerd bent, helpen ze u meestal nog op het goede pad. Maar voor de rest sucken ze inderdaad big time!
    Ik zal heel de maand duimen voor jou ๐Ÿ˜‰

    I can see why you fell for this sweater! It looks so cozy! I wish I could hibernate as well. I do like the cold, but sometimes it can be so brutal and windy!

    Pretty sweater! I’m glad you are feeling better. Talks with friends usually help. I am not a winter person either. I hate the snow!

2021... What. A. Year. A break-up in spring. My 2021... What. A. Year. 

A break-up in spring. My life in boxes in summer. Moving into my appartement and returning to my job full time after two years in fall. My first dates in winter. All while living between lockdowns and vaccinations. Four stormy seasons finally coming to an end.

Starting 2022 completely clueless, but with nothing but curiosity and a craving to find out where life will take me in the next 365 days. 

2022, LET'S DO THIS. ๐Ÿ™Œ

โœจHAPPY NEW YEAR โœจ
