HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Kicking off the year with a little celebration, because this blog turned 11 years old on January 1st! I celebrated with an embarrassing throwback on Instagram Stories today, so if you’re quick you might still catch those. People are having a good laugh at the very first outfit photos to graze these digitale pages in 2011 especially, haha. I am ofcourse writing up a few recap posts of the past decade for the ole blog too. Those will hopefully come your way soon.
In person we ended 2019 with a lovely potluck dinner at a friends house and then kicked in 2020 playing Cards Against Humanity until 3:30 AM. I didn’t even stay up so late when I went out partying on New Years Eve in my teens, haha!
I want to start the new year on my blog the way I ended the last: with an outfit. It doesn’t always need to be big, right? This outfit has been a favorite both in 2018 and 2019 and I have a feeling that I’ll keep repeating this combination because it is just so comfy and still very me.
I had been lusting after the lace slip top from Samsøe & Samsøe for YEARS and finally decided I would buy it last year. The fact that I couldn’t find an equal alternative on the high street eventually justified the high price tag for me. Someone suggested that the lace trim makes it a bit of a sexy piece, so most times when I wear it I dress it down with a very unsexy piece like this long cardigan.
A stylist on TV said that blanket cardigans don’t do anyone justice, but I disagree. They can work and they are a piece that you must have in your wardrobe for days where you want to dress comfy and warm, but still look dressed up. I own this one by COS in two colors (grey and black) and it is the only piece in my wardrobe that I have multiples of. COS still stocks them in store (not online), but I do have to say that they changed the composition and that the version COS is selling this year feels less durable than mine from 2017.
I have a cosy grey cardigan like this and it gets so much wear – i did a 30 wears post with it as despite only having it a couple years it’s got more than 30 wears already. Definitely a versatile piece!
Yours looks so cosy too, and it is really nice with the black lace! 
Hope that the new year and new decade are starting great for you!
Congrats on your blogaversary!
That stylist can go on somewhere… you look great in this and I want one!
