Where: in front of the decrepit house again
Wear: pretty much the same as this post
The beauty of having your birthday in the middle of the week is that somehow, quite naturally, your birthday morphs into a “birthday-week”. It’s been almost a decade since I indulged in this great phenomenon (not since my teenage years!) so I feel extremely pampered this year. Monday I styled a shoot and had hot pot with my parents, Tuesday I worked a 12 hour day at the vets, Wednesday was cheese-and-wine-day, yesterday was retail by day and dinner with besties by night, thanks to the divine Greek cuisine at Aspro Ble, and today I’m attending a launch and then vetting. This week has been perfect. It contains fragments of all the best elements of my life. Absolutely splendid. Thank you Lord for amazing friends and doting family members!
Remember I said that ”Now if you think that I’m only going to wear this skirt as a skirt, then you have another thing coming…” in the previous post? Well here is the other way to wear this wool skirt. A wool skirt can always double as a dress, if the waist band is elastic. In actual fact, I love this more as a dress than a skirt. What about you? These mushroom-like wedges by were souvenirs from Milan, by Jil Sander, another minimalist. Do you like them?
What are you up to this weekend lovelies? I’ll be cuddling kitties and puppies and probably injecting them all weekend. Have a great one!
Happy Birthday
You look amazing as usual! I love the cuffs!

Looks great, really like that last photo in particular. And those shoes are fabulous!
tehehe I love my Jil Sander mushroom shoes :D
Ooh this is beautiful! I really liked the last outfit with the skirt, but I really like this one too! Can I have two favourites? ;)
The skirt looks like it’s made to be with that top to create a beautiful long sleeve dress. They pair so well together :)

Gorgeous as always!
LOVE your gold choker!
I love this as a dress! and with the black turtleneck, it almost seems like it’s a long sleeve black and white dress. And the shoes are gorgeous and I love your background as well.
aww thank you darling. Glad that you also appreciate the decrepit backdrop :D Yes the 2 wool pieces fit together beautifully!
Love you style Cecylia!
