- Black summer dress - I recently invested in a black maxi dress from @oliverbonas It was love at first sight: made of a linen and viscose mix (it will crease less compared to 100% linen), it is super comfortable and not see through. It works perfectly with what I already own and it will be a great beach dress that can be easily dress up if needed. Today I teamed it with a long sleeve cotton t-shirt (old), white trainers @oliverbonas and my summer basket bag (thrifted). When knowing exactly what your style is, it is simple to spot the perfect items for you without making “shopping faux pas”. Have you added anything new to your summer wardrobe yet?

𒊹︎ sɪᴍᴘʟɪᴄɪᴛʏ ɪs ᴋᴇʏ 𒊹︎ What I like the most about having a selected and curated capsule wardrobe is that I don’t have to “think” about what to wear. Have hung fewer colours and simple shapes make my decisions easier and faster each morning. Simplicity is a underestimated quality nowadays because we are afraid of being boring and look “average”. I actually think that the elegant person is the one that doesn’t stand up in the crowd.

- Sɪᴍᴘʟᴇ sᴛʏʟᴇ ʜᴀᴄᴋ - When the weather is tricky, you need layers, such as a blazer, a cardigan or... you can use a shirt! I really like the casual, laid back vibe of a black shirt over my white tee. It’s an easy styling hack to add a little bit of interest to a plain outfit. I borrowed it from my boyfriend (as per usual 😅) as he seldom wears them. The oversized fit is ideal for this kind of look. Add a pair of sunnies and jewellery: devil is in the details! #slowfashionoutfit - white top @newlook (3 years old) - jeans: thrifted #secondhandbutgrand - boots: @drmartensofficial - vintage necklace Do you wear shirts as a jacket? . . . . . . #everydayoutfit #dailyoutfitinspo #dailystyleinspo #outfitstyling #fashionover30 #styleover30 #oodtfashion #slowfashionblogger #slowfashionstyle #blackandwhiteoutfit #everydaystyle #basicstyle #neutraloutfit #30wears #easydressing #whowhatwearing #outfitoftoday #styleoftoday #dailyoutfitideas #outfitsdaily #basiclook #teamlessismore #lessismorewardrobe #minimalistoutfit #minimaloutfit #instaoutfits #ethicalootd #stylinginspiration (at London, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPC_AAmA5ft/?utm_medium=tumblr

𒊹︎ᴡʜᴇɴ ɪɴ ᴅᴏᴜʙᴛ, ᴡᴇᴀʀ ᴀ ᴛʀᴇɴᴄʜ𒊹︎ Still miserable and rainy in London. I quickly learned as soon as I moved here that a trench coat is a must have piece to have for spring and autumn, the most rainy seasons. A full length, classic one can be paired with literally anything in your wardrobe and it will prevent you from getting soaked. Today I am wearing my old denim skirt from @newlook with 80 den tights (it is still nippy in the morning!) and a lightweight jumper. My @drmartensofficial boots are the perfect shoe for this weather, as they are waterproof and comfortable. Outerwear never leaves my wardrobe even in summer, as the weather here can be quite unpredictable. Have you already done your wardrobe switch over? . . . . . . #slowfashionstyle #slowfashionblogger #slowfashionoutfit #neutraloutfit #minimalistoutfit #minimaloutfit #springoutfitideas #casualoutfitideas #casualoutfitsdaily #fashionover30 #over30fashion #styleover30 #over30style #teamlessismore #lessismorewardrobe #capsulewardrobe #wiwtoday #whatiamwearingtoday #myoutfitoftheday #mystyletoday #outfitoftoday #oodtfashion #simplestyling #outfitstyling #everydayoutfit #everydaystyle #secondhandstyle #secondhandoutfit #consciousfashion (at London, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CO92LQQg4qD/?igshid=1a6edtat1eq9a

𒊹︎ Autumnal colours for spring 𒊹︎ Going out for coffee and cake with my best mate 💫 The weather is still very unpredictable here in London so I opted for my favourite transitional clothes: trench coat (thrifted), jeans (thrifted), thin jumper (my boyfriend’s) and boots. I usually opt for black and white, but I was in the mood for a pop of colour, so I picked up my burgundy boots (> 3 years old) which are perfect for the autumn. I see people on Instagram wearing summer dresses and sandals and I just think it is ridiculous with 10C. I am part of the real people, and real people right now still wear outerwear. Have a good weekend guys! . . . . . . #slowfashionstyle #slowfashionblogger #slowfashionoutfit #secondhandoutfit #secondhandstyle #secondhandbutgrand #outfitoftoday #styleoftoday #everydayoutfit #casualstreetstyle #casualoutfitsdaily #casualoutfitideas #casualoutfitstyle #styleover30 #fashionover30 #over30fashion #over30style #teamlessismore #minimalistoutfit #minimaloutfit #neutraloutfit #wiwtoday #whatiamwearingtoday #dailyoutfitideas #dailyoutfitlooks #secondhandblogger #outfitstyling #realoutfitgram #minimalistgrams #springoutfitideas (at London, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CO42w23A3XQ/?igshid=24njolognxf6

Another day, another blue shirt 👕 When the weather is sunny and bright, the first item I reach out for is a blue shirt. I find it so easy to style and so effortless looking , that I end up wearing it much more than my normal t-shirts or tops. I love a good Oxford shirt with a pair of white jeans, my go-to spring outfit! As usual, I would style it in a very casual and relaxed way but a great Oxford shirt can be dressed up as a classic white one. Do you prefer shirts or tops when the temperatures are rising? Have a great day all! . . . . . #springoutfit #casualoutfitideas #casualoutfitinspo #everydayoutfit #everydaystyle #simpleoutfit #styleoftoday #outfitoftoday #shirtlover #wiwtoday #whatiamwearingtoday #teamlessismore #relaxedoutfit #fashionover30 #styleover30 #over30fashion #over30style #minimalistoutfit #minimaloutfit #neutraloutfit #wearrewear #wearyourwardrobe #slowfashionblogger #slowfashionoutfit #slowfashionstyle #oodtfashion #springcapsulewardrobe #capsulewardrobeblogger #whitejeansoutfit #boyfriendsshirt (at London, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/COxBBKUAnvx/?igshid=86w1lqyfjbd9

𒊹︎ Your life is as good as your mindset 𒊹︎ That’s my motivational quote for a great start of the week! Today’s outfit is very simple and relaxed. I chose a denim - light blue - navy colour palette, which I think is quite suitable for spring. My #slowfashionoutfit - navy jumper (my boyfriend’s) - blue Oxford shirt (my boyfriend’s) - straight leg jeans @purecollection - trainers @oliverbonas Yesterday was warmer but the weather has been quite unpredictable lately, do you think I should bring my trench coat with me? . . . . . . . #slowfashionstyle #slowfashionblogger #minimaloutfit #minimalistoutfit #simpleoutfit #fashionover30 #styleover30 #teamlessismore #springoutfit #casualoutfitsdaily #casualoutfitideas #casualoutfitstyle #outfitoftoday #styleoftoday #wearrewear #outfitgram #whatiamwearingtoday #wiwtoday #londonstreetstyle #wearyourwardrobe #mystylediary #mystyletoday #stylinginspiration #outfitstyling #minimaliststyle #neutralstyling #neutraloutfit #shadesofblue💙 #jeanslover (at London, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/COr4XFjgpcM/?igshid=12q1ypytrfcec

- How to wear clothes that are not 100% your style anymore - Only a few months ago, I would have said: declutter anything that is not 100% matching your current signature style. It is easier to throw away, donate or sell items that are not reflecting who we are right now. The reality though, is that once we get rid of said items, no matter how sustainably, we tend to replace them for something else. In order to avoid constant consumption, I decided to restyle old pieces of clothing (still in excellent condition) in a way that is closer to my current taste. I bought those two @ralphlauren knots ages ago and they are still perfect (they are indeed amazing quality) so I am now wearing them in a simple, relaxed way with my fav washed jeans and trainers. I usually list pros and cons of certain items before discarding them. Pro: - neutral colours - casual style - great natural knit (100%cotton) - perfect conditions Cons: - they have a small logo on the chest (so I can’t wear them to work) - they are a feminine preppy style that doesn’t represent me anymore. I opted to wear them only during the weekend and in a very relaxed way that will work with my current lifestyle. Accessories are super helpful to change the vibe of the look: gold plated jewellery, a vintage rattan bag, sunnies and white trainers help to make the outfit more suitable. Have you ever tried to save a piece of clothing restyling it? Let’s chat about it in the comments below! I would love to know what you think!

I also listed some outfits using items that are not my style anymore but that are still in excellent conditions so I wanted to keep and adapt to my current vibe.

𒊹︎ Give me all the money I need and I will find everything else I want 𒊹︎ I recently found this very inspiring quote online (but I don’t know who wrote it) and it really made me think. As human beings we always want more and we are never satisfied. It can be a good thing, as we always progress, however sometimes it can lead to greed and frustration. I used to me always unhappy with my wardrobe when I had tons of clothes, never knew what to wear. Now I own less than half clothes, shoes and accessories and I always find something suitable to wear. I love the majority of my clothes and they usually work effortlessly with each other. My style is more cohesive and I also feel more confident. Less is definitely more! What are your thoughts about it? Have a great weekend! . . . . . #outfitoftoday #styleoftoday #teamlessismore #lessismorewardrobe #lessismore #minimaloutfit #minimalistoutfit #minimalstyle #minimaliststyle #neutralstyling #neutraloutfit #simpleoutfit #casualoutfit #casualoutfitsdaily #casualoutfitideas #mystylediary #wiwtoday #whatiamwearing #slowfashionstyle #slowfashionblogger #slowfashionoutfit #capsulewardrobeblogger #springoutfit #springcapsulewardrobe #fashionover30 #styleover30 #over30style #over30sfashion #everydayoutfit #everydaystyle (at London, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/COSX2cEgIQa/?igshid=17u5u1yxr05w1

“When the waiting ends, life becomes boring” I recently saw a YouTube video from @haegreendal about happiness and the beauty of waiting.

“Your self worth is not defined by what you consume and how you spend your money“ Mixed feelings about this affirmation and I know that can be controversial: a few years ago I would have agreed to it, now believe everyone should be making efforts to reduce consumption for the main reason we don’t have much time to avoid our planet to be swamped by waste. What are your thoughts about it? #outfitoftoday Black and white vibes for a Monday morning: - black jumper > 3 years old - silk shirt > 3 years old - jeans > 3 years old - boots > 2 years old Feeling professional and comfortable.
