31 circles around the sun today 🪩 I am probab 31 circles around the sun today 🪩 

I am probably supposed to make this a sentimental post about how messy 29 was and how I had to come back to myself at 30 and figure out how to do life alone. But I'm currently rushing to get to work and I have zero inspiration as to what to say. I just wish that 31 will be (at least a little) less rocky than the past two years, so that I may finally have a chance to feel the world around me. Goodness knows I need it. Also, buying a dryer would be nice. 

Virtual 🥂 and 🍰 for all of you!

Long time no ginger hair in this feed 💁‍♀️✨

Throwback to a very spontaneous and verrry last-minute road trip to Normandy with @kristienjom last summer. We wanted a location where we could easily spend 4 days without having to travel too far or to the usual suspects (Germany, anyone?). @lehavre_etretat_tourisme had been on my to-visit list for a long time (thanks to a blog post by @dichtbijenverweg) and I convinced my friend to tag along with the promise of French wine bars and beautiful white cliffs. More on those white cliffs later. Today it's just me, my red hair and a white concrete vulcano (aka the cultural center of Le Havre).

AD | Testing the SKM “Try-Outfit” Service

skmtryoutfit9

When I was younger, shopping was my hobby, my therapy, my life. I was always on the High Street. If you needed me on a Saturday afternoon you could bet you’d find me in the local H&M, thinking up outfits I wasn’t able to afford with my allowance. Searching endlessly through the racks, I knew exactly what stores carried what items and I quickly learned what stores I liked and what places I didn’t have to waste my time in. Looking back, I barely recognize the teen that I was. At 24 years old I simply can’t be bothered with shopping anymore. I know, an odd thing to read on a fashion blog! Just the thought of having to go to the shopping streets without a clear objective makes me cringe. There’s just so much stuff everywhere and while that used to excite me ten years ago, now it just makes me feel agitated.

You might remember SKM from the collaboration we did way back in may. The shoot with the red blazer and Tommy Hilfiger top is one of my favorites from last Spring. When they asked me to meet again, this time to test their new shopping service, I was over the moon! The new service called “try-outfit” is made for people like me: those who can’t be bothered going through racks and racks of clothes and who don’t want to spend their time on other things like binge-coffee-drinking or outfit shooting, haha. The concept is simple: you go to the site, select a style you like, give your measurements and play around with a few extra options (type shoes, fave brands,…) . A personal shopper will then select items from the store’s collection and put together two outfits for you. You’ll receive an email when your package is ready for you in the store. When you come to SKM will be waiting for you to try on and have some fun! You are not obliged to take anything home.

The first outfit was a BIG winner. My personal shopper found this gorgeous sweater dress for me, added a duster coat and black ankle booties. The duster coat was a bit pale against my skin tone, so even though I really liked the combo it wasn’t going to work for me. Instead they brought me a leather jacket and then we also switched the ankle boots for white sneakers. Love times ten thousand! The dress came home with me and I recreated the look with my white converse sneakers and added a pale pink oversized scarf to keep warm. The second outfit was more mature and a little goody-goody. straight leg jeans, a bit of a longer cardigan, sturdy boots with fur and a lot of rusty-colors. while everyone always tells me rusty-colors are my thing, I’m a little over them by now. I didn’t get anything from the second outfit (not even a picture haha), which shows just how random shopping services are: you could strike gold, but you could also find nothing. I’ve been wearing my new dress a ton and even wear it to work sometimes. With black tights and a blazer it’s just like any other formal dress (although the splits on the side do come up quite high).

I know I’ve been promising on Twitter that my posts about Vilnius are coming up, but I haven’t found the time to write the posts yet. I hope to get the two posts I’ve planned up next week, so keep an eye on the blog if you’d like to read what we were up to!

    That is a great little grey dress – perfect with the Converse, what a lovely piece! It sounds like an awesome service, perfect for anyone short on time too! Even if you didn’t love both outfits, like you said if you find one great thing it was worth it 🙂 Nice to maybe try things a little different than usual too.

    Hope you’ve had a great weekend 🙂

    I need a service like that here in Richmond! I haven’t been brave enough to try StitchFix yet and I also despise shopping.
