T-shirt and Levi's denim cutoffs, Urban Outfitters. Leopard print tights, H&M. Black Everest platform boots, Jeffrey Campbell/Nelly.com.
(Photos by me.)
When I found these Levi's cutoffs hidden in the back of a shelf at Urban Outfitters in New York, I instantly knew that they were meant for me. There was only one pair, and without even trying them on, I could tell that they would fit perfectly. (OK, I did try them on, of course. I mean, just to be sure. Hmm.) I honestly have to stop myself each morning when I get dressed, or I would wear them every single day!
This is their fourth appearance on the blog - I wore them here, here and here - and since they're pretty much the corner stone of my wardrobe at the moment, it seemed quite appropriate that they got to be in my new header.
Yeah, I decided it was time to give the blog a bit of a fall makeover. I feel like right now I need less bright and peachy cheerfulness, and more calm, blue softness. Other than that, everything's just like it's always been - I'm even laying on the same spot in my garden as in the last header, still wearing light blue denim shorts, a splash of leopard print and with Jeffrey Campbells on my feet! If it ain't broke, why fix it, right?
And speaking of items I could wear daily if I didn't remind myself that I actually do own other pieces of clothing: ah, leopard print tights, how I adore thee! I have no idea how many pairs I actually own, but it has to be somewhere around ten, because at the moment there's a pair thrown in each and every corner of our extremely messy house. A lot of them are ripped and torn from being worn way too many times, but I don't care (I tell myself it's, eh, "punk"). So, obviously they had to be in the new header, as well. (Three outfits with leopard-clad legs: worn with orange wedges, sequins and black and white brogues, and my favorite black dress.)
And if you haven't already noticed that I have a very unhealthy obsession with Jeffrey Campbell shoes, well, I do. I'm going to have to open a JC museum one day - then I'll have an almost decent excuse for owning way, way, way too many pairs.
Haha, now I made it sound like I styled an outfit specifically to make a new header! And maybe I did, subconsciously? Can't rule it out! Or - more likely - it's only natural it turned out like that, since this could easily be called my "go-to outfit" these days. Comfortable clothes for hanging out at home, not nearly as comfortable shoes to keep myself from being too bored with they way I look when I leave the house.
But right now, I'm putting on a pair of flat boots and I'm off to yoga class!
ohhh i love it!!!♥

I literally have the same shorts. I was on a quest for them for months, and once I found them, in the back on a table in Urban Outfitters, I knew they were mine. I call them my quest shorts because of this.
ReplyDeleteDid you go to the one on 14th and 6th avenue? That's where I was. That would be very bizarre.

Haa, I had no idea you did yoga! It's great, isn't it? I only started it a month ago, but have been putting my body in the most interesting asana's (positions) every day since! Feel so much more flexible already, and it really does something to one's mental state of mind. I remember reading somewhere that 1 out of every 10 Swedes practices yoga; I love you, people :) Makes me want to move to Stockholm even more!
ReplyDeleteThose shoes. I'm in love! x

Anonymous, thank you! I wrote "According to Annika" with a black pen on a white piece of paper, took a photo of it and copied it into the header photo using Photoshop. I'm not sure what to tell you about the "What I'm Wearing"-sign - I made that too in Photoshop, using a free stock pic of some drawn flowers and the font "Edwardian Script". If there's anything more specifically you're wondering about, ask again!
ReplyDeleteLove,
Annika
Haha, everytime I'm trying to snap photo of myself I end up posing with my cat exactly like you have in one of the pictures. They always come around curiously wondering what's going on...
