Shoe lust

Shoes in various material & models are exciting, but I’m relatively restrictive with what I use. NEVER high heels unfortunately – even though I’m short & would benefit. For everyday use, I wear sneakers or desert boots. Flat shoes are my melody - sneakers, boots, sandals, party shoes, formal shoes – doesn’t matter what occasion. Very similar to the first image but in leather or suede. It doesn’t matter how well-dressed you are, if the shoes don’t fit, the whole thing then looks drastically wrong. Or feels wrong, which is worse. I were in the city on a course & stayed after, for a stroll before I went home after work. No intentions to buy but to just look around, have a coffee & soak up the urban atmosphere.

I ended up buying two shoes in suede, black & dark blue in different shops. I must probably acknowledge that it was a feat considering all the high-heeled models that existed – everywhere! But shame on those who give up :) Even If I wasn’t looking really. My philosophy is that when you see something you like, just buy it. You can’t regret that you bought something since you have the option to return the item. But if they run out of stock, that is more – well, not nice if you changed your mind.

Black & white

Inspiration can be found everywhere & there are always details that catches the eye, even if only a colour or a tiny item that attracts. Some sees the whole solution where others might not see anything special at all. It’s hard to tell what makes some things immensely popular, where many suddenly seem to like or fall for the same things. While similar solutions are completely without charm & arouses no-must-have- feeling at all.

There’s not much to say really – black & white always works, although I’m aware of & respect those who want more colour in their everyday lives. I just think that it’s nice to have a base that always works & which is also easy to change, when you feel like it. With simple means.

Blazer theory

My fashion theory is that it should be easy to combine various garments with each other, but also with other things as well. Such as jeans with a big knitted sweater, to same jeans with a stylish blazer & a t-shirt under. Or to a strict white blouse one day & a more relaxed one another day. Jeans, chinos or shorts or skirts. Nothing pretentious or too much – to avoid feeling dressed-out rather than dressed up. Not too much details either. Simple smooth structures, preferably not too much colour & no jewelry … unless it is simple design & rather anonymous.

Am I not an exciting person? It would suit me perfectly if there was a style that melted together with the surroundings … that does not stand out, but is just there. I realize that the older I get, the simpler I want it to be with clothing. Is it perhaps development in the right direction? I guess it depends on the viewer … or is it perhaps the wearer.

Anyway, I thought I should provide you with my opinion about blazers, which are an excellent garment – to everything!

Lengthwise & crosswise

Stripes are something that never goes out of style – according to me, that is. It’s the simplicity, I guess … whether it’s garments, home textiles, interiors or outdoors. It’s neat, simply. Stripes helps you to create a lot of various expressions. Navy theme or perhaps more graphically in base colors, or  in mix with other patterns for greater effect. Narrow stripes combined with broad stripes looks great together. Also stripes combined with floral pattern … without it becoming too cute. I honestly don’t know how many sweaters, t-shirts, shorts, etc that I have with stripes – nor curtains or fabrics for that matter. I have certainly cleared out a lot since the last move – so it’s not as bad as it was before, but still. I think the chances are promising that there will be some purchases in the future, because everyone knows that the force of habit is great. But what does it matter, I like stripes lengthwise & crosswise.

Mixed taste

Putting together things to make it look nice & appealing…that’s not an easy thing to do. But when it’s done right, it sure is inspiring. It’s rather exciting when  things are mixed based on taste rather than expression. Especially if it doesn’t have a common pattern or colour scheme. I often find different styles & combinations interesting, even if ti’s far from my own preferences. It’s exciting to browse through magazines or scroll through blogs. But I have to admit that nothing beats realistic living, where peoples personality really shines through.

All inspiration – despite taste, style, preference or else, are there to satisfy our need for beautiful things & to give us new inputs & ideas. There is beauty in everything. From food creation to simple freshly baked bread. From beautiful beddings to comfortable casual clothes. From glassware to  to patterned textiles. It’s all about mixed taste…
