What’s your style mantra? Are you a total minimalist? Do you write in acronyms, wanna live in Sweden, and only wear clean sharp tailored pieces? Or is your style completely OTT? Do you worship Anna Dello Russo and want everything with bells and whistles? Perhaps you’re somewhere in the middle. Well this outfit, for me, would be classified as somewhere in the middle of the 2 extremes. Sure the shirt is loud and makes me look like I have giant measles from afar and is on sale here, the coat, well, a total piece of art, has probably taken an entire village in a third world country to create (I don’t know, it was an op shop find), I kept the rest of the outfit pretty simple to balance the detail scales.
These drop-crotch Diesel boyfriend jeans arrived last week ad I could not wait to take them for a test drive. They are a flattering shade, are super comfy (I can sleep in them!) and most importantly, have the perfect crotch-length.

And last but not least, I wanted to wish you a Happy Leap Year Day. It’s the first time that the Leap Year Day has appeared on Cecylia.com! I hope that you get up to something that you have not attempted in the past 4 years. Do something you’ve been meaning to do. Go on, surprise yourself! I’m off to the Cadbury Launch for Easter and then getting changed into boring black to become a heroic vet. Have an awesome day guys!
Where: On route to friend’s place for dinner
Wear: Vintage coat, shirt (similar ones here), earrings, belt and bag, Damselfly ring, Diesel jeans, Miss Sixty heels
Woow! Love it! Interesting mix of patterns.
You pull this off beautifully! I would look like a clown if I attempted this, but you make it look effortless.
Thank you so much Rina, it means a lot coming from you :)

Those jeans actually do look really comfortable! I hate buying jeans, so when I find a cut/style I like, I tend to buy more then one pair. That’s not strange, is it? :P
Totally, I know a lot of people who do that!! It makes sense!
