Daily inspiration, timeless

Some people has a look & appearance that seems to fit in any situation or time. It can be from hair style, type of clothing or just the face. They never go out of style & you could fit them in which decade you’d like. A classic appearance, simply! My sons has both similar haircuts. They are right now very much, into the preppy-style. It’s the usual jeans or chinos with polo shirts or shirts & thin knitted sweaters with v-neck or round neck. (there’s not much change to this style, when it comes down to it, really). If this photo had been in color instead of black & white, you’d not noticed the difference from then to now. That is, if it had not been James Dean. It could have been any photo, in any magazine today. As I see it, at least.

Bleak images, maybe

Bleak images does not sound particularly inspiring, do they? I guess some might find these a bit depressing. Is it a suitable description? I just felt that I wanted something less colourful & more dramatic. The lighting, colour selection & props, enhances the atmosphere in each image. I’m aware of that everything doesn’t have to be bright & colourful to be perceived as interesting or exciting.

It feels liberating, for my part, to ignore the otherwise ordinary images that I usually choose. You know, you have your style & your preferences which you sometimes unconsiously bases your choices on. A style whom you have a weak heart for. Well, since some friends said I’m very Scandinavian in my taste, I thought I might try to challenge my self. But just so you know, this type of images are not my cup of tea 🙂

Dark blue

I had a period when I used the dark blue colour almost as much as I use black today, that is to say, always. I felt a hint of that old feeling the other day when I bought two pairs of boots in suede, one black & the other in dark blue. On the way to work last week, I arrived a bit earlier & decided to take a stroll around the shopping centre. I saw a jacket in dark, dark blue. An instant love & from there to todays post, the way is rather short. Since then I have had time to be off couple of weeks to spend time with my sister & her husband, who is on a visit. There has been a lot of traveling to various favorite spots & with it, a lot of stops for shopping. One would think that the dark blue colour would be rather common. But no, not where I was, at least.

Anyway, I found a scarf in thin material but still with rough texture. Very soft in really dark blue shade & a couple of fine-knitted jumpers with stylish fit. One was striped of course. AND with that, I have now completed my shopping need in that blue colour.

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.
