Updates on the wardrobe

I've been running around like a maniac, trying to find that white blazer from Gina Tricot that I spotted a week ago. I went to try it on in the city centre but I noticed that here was a stain in the one that I tried on. That piece was the only one that they had of size small so I just walked out of the store empty handed. Now I've been to 4 other GT's and none of them have the white one in size small! I even went to check out the store in Kouvola when we were driving back from our cottage and they didn't have it there either. I was so frustrated that I decided to forget about it and look for something else.

So I started to update my wardrobe for the fall with other things. The first purchase was a dark, burgundy nail polish. Then I spotted a simple tank top of the same shade and later got a thin belt from my grand mom - also of the same burgundy shade. It must be decades old!

I haven't given up on the white blazer yet, but I fell in love with a completely different one that I found in Stockmann. It's also warm and soft but the silver chains give it an edgier look. And I guess it's actually more like a combination of a blazer and a cardigan. With this on, I shouldn't be shivering in the chilly lecture halls :P

Blazer, Oui
I guess I've said it a million times already, but I really hate shopping for pants. But last weekend I managed to find new pants as well! They're so soft and feel nice on - and are a good match with the previous purchases ;) Aftert bringing them home, I started thinking that I might have seen these pants somewhere before. L, are these the similar to the ones that you just found in Zara?? My apologies if they are, haha. This might just be the very first time that we're glad not to live on the same continent ;)

The pants have golden buttons and I really like the combination of burgundy and gold. Maybe that's why I couldn't resist the burgundy scarf that had golden details in the ends ;) It looks a bit purple in this picture but the color is supposed to be similar to the pants. Just slightly darker.

I guess I can now manage for a while. But that white blazer.. I'm gonna find it somewhere! ;)

  6. Also, I am not worried if we are on the same continent with the same pants, things look so different on us and we have different accessories and hair color and well, I will take being on the same continent as you over everything!! <3

  7. Hehe, thanks love! And you're right for what comes to the appearance - we're like day and night even if we were wearing exactly the same thing ;) Remember the dresses we wore for the night out in helsinki? And our boots, flats and leopard/zebra pumps, all so similar, yet so different on us!
