GLOOMY DAYS

Though I would consider myself a summer child - which I guess is not too surprising given I was born in July - autumn is a close second favourite season. The colours are just the prettiest - all those warm orange, yellow and red hues really pop on those golden sunny days. That’s not to say thought that I do not also love the gloomy days with overcast skies, fog hanging over the tree tops and wind tousling your hair. The pictures from today’s post were taken on a day like that. And you can bet that I was excited about returning back home afterwards to get cozy inside with a hot beverage and some netflix.

The dress I am wearing here is from Mango and currently on sale. It is one of my favourite dresses of the season so far. One simply cannot go wrong with a dark floral print imo. Though it is more of a stylized floral print I would say - a bit paisley-esque and definitely reminiscent of typical elements of the Art nouveau era in the early 20th century. I absolutely adore that era of art history. Especially many of the graphic designs and illustrations from that time. One artist that will always stand out to me for Art nouveau is Alphonse Mucha. If you haven’t heard of him or are not familiar with his work be sure to do a quick google search, I’m sure if you see his work you might realize you have seen some of his most popular illustrations. But I am getting off track... Back to the dress.

I guess you could say that this piece is a typical Jenny-piece. First of all: It’s a maxi dress (well, it is on me anyway) and I love maxi dresses. Second of all: It is billowy and flowy (other may call it shapeless lol). And third of all: It features ruffles/volants.

So three checks! Pair all that with a gorgeous print in colours like these and I couldn’t be happier. I am a very feminine dresser in that regard, I suppose. Though I do love to toughen up romantic pieces as I said in my last style post. In this case I couldn’t decide what head piece I liked more, so I took pictures wearing two different ones. The hat is the same I wore in my style post from a couple weeks back. I think a fedora always gives an outfit a bit of a western-y and boho touch. The beret on the other hand - and yeah, that is probably a very chliché thing to say - imo makes the look a bit more “dressy” and “parisian”. The difference would have been bigger if I had swapped my cowboy boots for a pair of loafers or simple black pointed boots probably, but hey, didn’t think about it and also hadn’t planned on turning this style post into a “5 ways to wear”. Is that format overdone btw? Or are people still interest in seeing different ways to style up one main piece? Because I have been wondering about whether or not to include posts like that on here, but I am feeling conflicted. Especially, because of course I have no clue if anyone ever read any of these rambles lol.

Anyway... If you have read the previous entry. I think it’s safe to say with the dress/look I am fully embracing the pieces I collected on my small autumn moodboard. I am very predictable, I know lol, but I think when you have found a “style” that you like and that you just feel unapologetically you in, people will probably recognize patterns in your wardrobe. :) I certainly can in mine - nobody knows my wardrobe as well as me though of course lol.

That’s all, lovelies! I hope you are having a good start into the new week even though it seems the news are only getting worse each day.

Much love,

Jenny
