Blue Like That.

Loch blue 15-inch leather satchel from The Leather Satchel Co. Fluffy kitty, Biianka, who brings so much joy to my life.

Welcome to my wardrobe, you beautiful thing. I really hope you'll like it here, and I promise I'll take such good care of you.

To call for hands of above to lean on.

Bloggers always write "I have the best readers in the world!". I'm sure they think they mean it, and who can blame them for being wrong? They obviously haven't met you guys. Because you are the best readers in the world. If there was a blog reader Oscar you would win, hands down, kick everyone's ass! Thank you times a billion for your support. I have no idea what I've done to deserve all of your kind words, but I'm not going to question it: I'm just going to accept that it's a true blessing.


To prove to myself that I can still put on clothes and lipstick and even smile, well, I did just that. I even put my hair up in some kind of a faux bob. It came down after a while, since I only used two hairpins (laaaazyyy), but it looked sort of cute while it lasted. If I may say so myself.


Baryshnik kept me company while I took the photos, and he decided that the view was better from the tree. Unlike Biianka, who's great at climbing up but not so much down, he's an awesome tree climber - he leaps from branch to branch like an oversized squirrel. A positively adorable oversized squirrel, I might add. 


I always think that I have no fall- or winter coats whatsoever, but the truth is that I have so many it's actually ridiculous. It's just that they are all, without exceptions, black, red or navy. It's like I'm physically unable to buy a coat in any other color. I really want a camel one, one in a deep burgundy and one in a dark emerald green, and trust me, I've been looking for years - it's just that whever I find one I really like, they also have it in either navy, black or red, and then I end up getting one of those instead. Poor me. This is such a huge problem! No wonder I have to be in therapy every Tuesday!!! (Ha... ha... ha.)

I just now realized that my love for the colors red, black and navy is pretty visible in this outfit. I feel like especially red and blue items are always begging me to be matched with eachother. And who am I to say no? They do look fabulous together!

To die by your side, well, the pleasure, the privilege is mine.

Hey, look! Even depressed people wear clothes! (At least some of us do. And at least some of the time.)

I've taken photos quite a few times this past week, but when going through them in the computer, I've felt like they photo are too dark (eh, literally - lighting-wise - not figuratively speaking), or that my outfits aren't original enough, or that I look too tired. (Yep, even those disgusting I'm not tall/skinny/pretty/young/long-legged enough thoughts have been poking me in the eye with their long, venomous fingernails.)

But you know what? Telling you the truth about what my life is like right now made all the difference. When I saw these photos again tonight - taken when I came home from school late one night this week - I couldn't help laughing at all of those pathetic I'm not good enough thoughts. Since when is style blogging about perfection, anyway?

I bought this The Smiths t-shirt when I was 15 and madly in love with Morrissey, and wow, it's been through a lot these past thirteen years. I'm amazed it's still in one piece!

When I started searching for old photos of myself wearing it a long time ago, I immediately got lost along memory lane - when I snapped out of it half an hour later, I decided I'll have to reminisce some other time. I have a feeling I might need a whole day to let my mind wander the way it tells me it needs to. At the moment, Ronnie is waiting for me to watch The Town with him, and that might be just a tad bit more important than finding photos where I'm wearing an old t-shirt.

But oh wow, I have soooo many old pics to show you later this week!

A few sneak peaks...

The Sensational Strawberry Satchel.

This strawberry-colored satchel from The Leather Satchel Co. is my back-to-school gift to myself. I honestly think it's the most beautiful bag I've ever owned, and I have a feeling it will brighten even the most rainy and grey of those long school days!

You ain't a beauty, but hey, you're allright. And that's allright with me.

 Cat print shirt, H&M. Black shorts, Monki. Brown leather boots, vintage. Brown leather satchel, Vero Moda. Grey over knee socks, Asos. Black belt, my boyfriend's. Denim vest, vintage.

Brrrr! It's been such a lovely, sunny day, but when I went outside to take photos in the gorgeous sunset, the sky suddenly filled with clouds and it got really windy. Cold winds. After five minutes, it started raining and I gave up on the whole thing. Well, at least a got a few shots before I got soaked!

I know these vintage boots are sort of ugly. Actually, that's what I like about them. That vest is outright hideous, too, so they go quite well together! Ugliness sometimes makes the whole difference between a boring outfit and one that will make you feel like a rock star. (Everyone knows rock stars are awesome even if they have no taste whatsoever.) ;)

One thing that sure isn't ugly is this beautiful leather satchel! I almost wish I was back in school just so I could fill it with heavy books every morning and carry them around all day. Well, the 1st of July I will move into my new office in a nearby town, that will have to do as a substitute for school.

I've had this cat print t-shirt at least ten years, I never get tired of it! I mean come on, it's got CATS on it! Cats! On a t-shirt! What's not to like?!

Confession: I chose these outfit photos specifically because my legs look good in them. I never mind the way my legs look in real life, but in photos I often think they look... not very fit. That's probably because I'm so used to seeing all these extremely skinny, retouched girls in thousands of fashion photographs. Even on style communities like Lookbook and Chictopia it feels like every single girl has a perfect body... Yet here I am, picking out the photos where I think I look the most like them. And so it goes on and on and on.

Now I have to go out in the rainy darkness to look for one of my cats - Biianka came inside with me when it started raining but I haven't caught a glimpse of Baryshnik for hours. He's way to adventurous for his mother's fragile heart! (Yeah, sorry, I do call myself their "mom". I know it's lame. As soon as I become a mother to a real, live, human baby, I'll stop. I promise.)
