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‰

On Knitwear and Joining The Nike Force


This outfit contains two things I would never have worn before 2015: a plain knit sweater and trainers. But things change.

I shared a picture of my & Other Stories shopping bag on Instagram and a few were curious to find out what was inside. This cozy grey sweater! I had a gift card  that I wanted to use for a pair of Chelsea boots, but when I received a press email to inform that the knitwear came in stock, I forgot all about that plan. I went to the store to look for a certain cream white sweater I spotted in the email, but eventually fell in love with this grey number. The sweater is a mix of wool, alpaca and polyester, and is therefor heavenly soft. It feels like the chunky wool sweaters my mom made me wear when I was young, but was to thriftily to buy as a teenager. Because it is so warm, it gives you the instant comforting feeling a cheap H&M sweater would never give. To wear this, in front of a fireplace and with a cup of hot chocolate with marshmallow toppings. YES. And the smell. You guys, the smell of real wool sweaters. I can’t get enough. 

…Which is a strange thing, really. At โ‚ฌ65, this is sweater came in at more than I would normally spend on something that I don’t ever really wear. I own exactly two other sweaters. A bright red one (worn here) and a grey one with heart print (worn here), both from J.Crew. They both only made it to the blog only once or twice, because I simply never wear them. I like them, but sweaters aren’t my thing and I tend to forget that I have them. My new one from & Other Stories, however, I’ve worn loads already. It was my first choice to wear to a social event I went to for my blog last Thursday. I’ll share more about the event later this week (pssst: it’s about coffee!).

Also: shoes. Unlike the Nikes many fashion bloggers are sporting, mine are the unfashionable kind with maximum support to ensure a painless run. They are my actual running shoes. I bought them in February when I seemed to have fully recovered from an old knee-injury. However, after only a few weeks back on the running track I had to give up again due to major pain. My brand new and rather expensive Nikes stood in the hallway for a good few months, gathering dust. They didn’t exactly work well with my summer dresses, but now that I have been wearing winter wardrobe again they finally are allowed to come out and play again.
Black jeans + running shoes = ideal basic outfit, and although it’s not an outfit you’re used to see this pencil-skirt-and-dresses-girl wear, I felt so me when I wore it again yesterday. I also felt kind of bad-ass, which is a look I tried before and failed horribly at. So I considered this outfit a successful re-take on my 2013 attempt at being cool. Like I said, things change. Luckily. 
sweater: And Other Stories
jeans: Levis
running shoes: Nike Lunar Glides

    That sweater looks so heavenly! I’ve been looking for the perfect pair of black Nikes to wear on days when I’m on my feet all day.

    Ik had mijn nikes gekocht om mee te gaan lopen, maar heb na er รฉรฉn keer mee te lopen mega veel last van mijn knieรซn gekregen (terwijl ik daar vroeger nog nooit last van heb gehad) = VERDACHT.
    Maar als dag dagelijkse schoenen zijn ze wel echt bangelijk <3

    That is a very cool, laid back outfit! ๐Ÿ™‚

    I’m glad you could get some wear out of your shoes at least, even if it’s not for the intended purposes. It must be so upsetting having to give up on running. I know I had to after aggravating my knee injury again recently, but I wasn’t really a runner before so it was no major loss to me!

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
