Look Book: Bold Stripes & Other Closet Staples

Jun 26, 2012

Hello glorious Tuesday! The sun has been out all week (yay) and I just managed to take a few fabulous & computer-free days off. Lately, I've been realizing that I'm absolutely the worst at unplugging, so it's my new goal to start taking weekends off. Martin & I didn't even take blog photos this weekend. Don't get me wrong, I love taking photos for the blog, but sometimes... no make-up, cut-offs and flip flops win! ;)
These photos were taken by yours truly, prior to starting my work day. I admittedly felt a little rusty but I'm hoping to start taking more of my own blog photos, so I'm seeing a lot of practice in my near future. ;) As for the outfit? It includes all of my current summer loves: sandals, light denim jacket and this striped skirt!! Isn’t it lovely?! It's from the super talented Corilynn and it's quickly become a closet staple. Be sure to pop by her shop; she's an absolute sweetheart! xo veronika
Outfit Details: 
Denim Jacket - H&M (similar)
Tank - H&M
Skirt - c/o Corilynn

  4. Veronika, this skirt is beautiful! I think I've seen it on some other blogs recently too, but your styling is by far the best! And I'm always crushing on your denim jacket - I have yet to find one that fits as well on me.

    It sounds like your weekend was wonderful. Hope you're having a great start to the week too!

  9. I love your skirt, and the sandals make such a great contrast in colour! Sometimes it's nice to just chill out and not have to worry about doing anything, I agree! xx

  11. im a huge stripes and denim lover. Funnily enough my Mondays post was a striped maxi skirt and denim jacket!
    Unplugging is such a good idea, my hubs says i need to unplug a little more, since instagram i seem to constantly be on my phone checking and taking photos, but sometimes its just nice to chill.out. completely.
    Looking wonderful as always Veronika, i would never have called these self taken photos rusty, just lovely!!:)xox

  12. I KNEW this was a Corilynn skirt! I love her blog so much (yay baby!!!) and have ALWAYS admired her skirts (too bad they are too pricey for a mom on a budget :-( ). Love this whole look Veronkia! I am glad you are taking weekends off--so important. And good luck on the self blog photos. I've always done my own photos and feel so apprehensive when I let others take my pictures!

  13. I think your photos turned out great--I'm always impressed when people can take their own! And you're rocking some of my favorite things right now too: stripes, a jean jacket, and pink!

  23. I've been unplugging latey too--sometimes it feels good to wear an outfit just because you like it, not because you want to photograph it. :) blogger problems! haha. xo

  24. Such a gorgeous skirt! And taking the weekends off is so worth it. I will usually take outfit pictures if I want on the weekends, but that's it! No answering emails or writing posts or anything. It's so nice and relaxing.

  30. What an adorable skirt, Veronika! It reminds me of one I had my eye on at Asos a while back - I'm such a sucker for anything with stripes :) And yes, hurray for sun! It seems to be sneaking behind a cloud right now but I'm sure it's going to come back soon and I can't wait to see what fashionable adventures you're going to get up to in it! Kudos to you for working on taking your own photos - that takes real skill.

  46. That skirt is great! And I, too, love sandals with denim jackets and pretty skirts for summer. <3 I've been doing it as often as I can this summer, but most days it's too hot for even a light denim jacket. Boo.
