Socks & co.

this-unexpected-accessory-is-making-ugly-pretty-cool-again-1639353-1454074068.640x0cI know, not exactly a glamorous subject… but even Bloglovin’ has done a post about them, why can’t I?! Anyhow, there aren’t many things one can do right now to update one’s wardrobe! It’s that hateful moment half way between the “boring winter clothes” and the new exciting Spring collection!!!!

 

So, why not go for a cute pair of socks? COS has a great collection, a lot of glitter/metallic around it seems…

Some interesting spots/stripes, etc.

And a couple of evergreen ribbed socks:

It’s an inexpensive way to make your winter clothes a little less wintery and boring.

Black total look + statement shoes

I seem to be wearing a lot of black lately (surprise, surprise!! …not really), even more so then usual. I get into this cycle when I am bored with my clothes and then I start going “plain and safe”(sometimes called minimal !?)… Don’t get me wrong, I still like most things I own, I am just fed up with wearing them, I need a break…

Today I am very black, black dress, black cardigan, black tights (yes, tights, I know it looks much better without but I am really not going to freeze to death because I would look better with bare legs!!). I feel comfy and I like it, ballet-flats-anything-but-boring-406-coverbut I don’t love it, it’s just a little, well, unexciting.

That’s when I thought I ought to add something that is (exciting). I have decided on a pair of shoes.

 

Whether those be a pair of coloured ones or something unusual, they must have personality! The above ones are gorgeous but far too expensive, here are some we can afford though:

Olive + burgundy + denim

All three of them great colours in their own right, but rather nice together too, I find. Here’s a picture of the famous Irina of “A portable package” wearing them:

I wouldn’t go into overdrive with the burgundy…ok for accessories, perhaps a sweater. Love olive for the clothes. Denim? Need I say?

I have put few things together, just to get the general idea of these lovely colours together:
