Look Book: Stripes & Mustard Hued Skirts!!

Jan 5, 2012

Hey guys! Phew, what a fun & busy week it's been!! I'm super thrilled to announce that I'm off to the "Texas Style Council Conference" in March - whoo hoo! Is anyone else attending?! If you are, be sure to let me know because I'd love to meet you. This will be my first time in Austin, Texas (yay!), which is exciting stuff as I've heard it's incredibly pretty there... I'm also ridiculously giddy to meet so many of my favourite bloggers. I just might have to pinch myself. ;)
We took these photos just a few days back when we had the most blissfully mild day out: sunny, warm, jacket-less - yup, this is my kind of winter weather! As for the outfit?!  Don't you guys find there is something so perfect about mustard hues paired with black & white stripes? It's a combination I've been excited to try for a while, and I loved it! With the arrival of 2012, I'm really hoping to stretch my "fashion wings" and try some new-to-me patterns, hues and silhouettes. Can't wait! I love having little fashion resolutions & outfit ideas; it's one of my fave things about having a blog - it keeps me inspired to keep trying new things!!
I hope you guys have a wonderful weekend. Any fun plans? Martin & I are laying low for this one. My sleep schedule hasn't been great this week - I'm pooped, pooped! SO, it's going to be a weekend full of movies, pj's, yummy take out and fluffy slippers. Oooh, I can't wait! I'll be sure to savor every single lazy minute of it! xo veronika

  15. While you set out on your laying-low weekend, I'm going to cram three shifts at work, four days' worth of a Linguistics conference, a couple not-sure-if-it's-a-date plans with a boy, AND prepare a presentation I'll be giving at an event next weekend. Whew! More than you ever wanted to know about my life.

    ANYWAY. Yes, there is something awesome about mustard with almost any neutral, I think. Alas, I do not own much of it because I don't think it looks good on me. Lastly, I am jealous you're going to the Texas Style Council. I will never make it to something big and awesome like that!

  16. Hello dear,

    it would be a pleasure and a great help for me if you could answer my blogger-interview about the relation of fashion, blogs and journalism. It's anonym, but you can also name your blog if u like. It's to find on my blog!

    Thank you in forward,
    Alex

It instantly caught my attention, and it's perfect with stripes! I'm loving anything stripes myself lately, in fact, I styled stripes yesterday, so you can see it :) you are gorgeous, Veronika, your styling sense is amazing!
    Good luck!

  60. The Texas Style Conference? How exciting! The closest I've been been to Austin is the Dallas-Fort Worth airport, but I do remember it being a truly unique experience. I hope you'll have a fabulous time, and take tons of photos while you're there! And I hope this mustard coloured skirt will make an appearance, it's absolutely divine :) Hope your sleep improves soon, Veronika - I accn't imagine having to live without, it must be awful!!

  110. You are cute and you dress interesting, but the shoes are dumb. Hipster girls at my college also wear them, I don't get it. Must be some girl thing, but they do nothing to increase my attraction to you. So...maybe they bring you attention from looking weird?
