Just Woman

Winter fashion can be seriously boring. I actually have a winter uniform - more on that at the bottom of this post - and I tend to get stuck in my uniform on most days. It's dark and it's cold and I basically just want comfort and warmth and usually also the least possible effort. Actually, I just want to hibernate and wake up in Spring. I tried to shy away from my uniform today and wore a different coat and non-black footwear. Amazing, isn't it?

Shoes saved: Just Woman boots

Wearing: Zara Woman coat, Gate white tee, H&M miniskirt, Zara Office City bag

So, the shoes. I really like these - they have a nice sturdy heel and are stylish yet still comfortable for normal day use. I absolutely love the color - they go so well with my Zara Office City bag. Like they were made for each other. Definitely one of my more easier saves in the challenge. As for the uniform - it's a day uniform. What I usually wear either to work or to uni or day time activities.

Basically it's my Zara Woman winter coat that I have been wearing almost non-stop this winter (and last winter too ever since I got it from my sis as a Christmas gift). I love this coat - it's super warm and has the most adorable hood. So I usually don't wear a hat but I was feeling fancy here and decided to sport one. Next it's my Ugg boots or my River Island boots. Comfort and warmth. Key words here. And then thick tights and whatever underneath - though usually I go for black in the winter. I prefer thick tights and a dress or skirt to pants and in the winter even more so. Dunno, it just feels more me.

Enjoying

As promised, here is the latest shoe challenge post. It's from today and I am literally wear this right now (well except for my coat, it'd be a bit weird if I still had my coat on at work, right?).

 Shoes saved: Melissa Enjoying lace-up flats in gold

Where/ when: today, work

Wearing: Zara dress, Zara grandpa sweater, Asos daisy studded belt, H&M coat, Zara office City bag

Although I wanted to get you a picture of the coat I decided sometimes less is more (it didn't really work out too well). I'm usually in a hurry in the mornings and I was superbly late today. And I suck at selfies. That aside, I really liked my outfit today and that doesn't happen enough lately. It's definitely time to do something about my the runt I seem to be in and I'll keep you posted how that goes. Anyways, till next time & wishing everyone a lovely weekend, xo.

Sorry I'm Not Sorry

 So I didn't post anything yesterday. It's because I just didn't have the energy to lug my computer with me to work (with all the other crap I had to have with me that day). I'm a bad blogger, I know. But whatever. Here's some shoe saves:

Shoes saved: Topshop gold quilted flats
Where/when: Wednesday night dinner
Wearing: Camaieu 60's coat, Zara, grandpa sweater (which I have been wearing too much lately - it's seriously winter over here!), H&M star print dress, Asos hat

Nothing much to say about these shoes. They are interesting enough with the quilting and the lovely gold color and they are seriously comfortable shoes. They also have a tiny bow at the front. I bought them long ago, they've gotten their fair share of use but are still looking good (which is more than I can say for some - like those pink pointed toe flats I saved over the weekend? Well I decided it was time to say goodbye, along with two other pairs of shoes. R.I.P.). I like to wear them with opaque tights for a nice contrast, like I'm doing here. Looking back at this photo I realize I should have really brushed my hair. (It's like Cousin Itt is under my coat, a bit creepy really.) Next time...

Shoes saved: Stradivarius boots (will try to take some close-up photos and post them in a new post over the weekend because these boots are really special and they deserve an honorable mention)
Where/when: uni class and then work on Thursday
Wearing: H&M coat, H&M dress, Zara green sweater (you can't see it because it's under the coat, duh.), red pashmina, Asos hat, Zara Office City bag

Neutral colors mixed with happy colors. I really liked this outfit. The Zara Office City bag is a constant in my wardrobe and was definitely a good purchase! And these are one of my favorite pair of boots. Like I said above, they deserve close-up pictures because they have quite interesting details. I'll show you later, I promise. Oh and look, I brushed my hair!

Shoes saved: New Look suede creepers
Where/when: Wednesday uni classes (this was a very tiresome day with lots of running around)
Wearing: H&M coat, Parfois bakcpack, the same dress as in the first photo (hey, it's from the same day)

Shoes saved: these are just some old Ugg boots (which aren't really in the challenge but I like how the shoes look with this coat)
Where/when: Thursday night food shopping
Wearing: one of my favorite coats - it's from Asos (love the color!!!), can't recall what I wore under it but since you can't see it anyways, I doubt anyone cares really. Hat gifted from my grandma Helenka, canvas tote bag (for my veggie shopping).

Files of New: Zara City

 After hearing so many great things about this bag, I finally took the plunge today. I've been looking for a good uni bag for ages - something that would fit my laptop & all my notebooks/kindle/everyday crap and yet still would be stylish and wearable with the things in my closet.. I originally wanted the black version but it was sold out and black is a tad bit boring no? So I'm glad I got the tan version instead. Now normally I would rather have bought something a little bit cheaper (it cost 1999 Kc which is about 77 Euro or 99$ - it's so sad how things in Czech Republic cost more than anywhere else :// I should have just ordered it online and it would have been cheaper even with the shipping but I didn't want to wait any longer.. so I've paid the price, but since I have been really good lately and not spending I thought it was a fitting reward.) but in the end I thought the bag well worth the money. (It's the Zara Office City Bag.)

 The bag is super cute and what I really love about it is that it has a padded pocket fitted from your laptop. Genius. This way you don't have to carry a case around with you saving you loads of room. (It fits a 15 inch laptop, but mine is a 13 incher so he'll be more than comfy.) I cannot wait to wear it to school & work tomorrow! (* All pictures from Zara.com)
