BLACK TREACLE

Hey hey handsome fellas and fellarinos,

another week has passed that flew by in instant. Last weeks weekend trip to the countryside was pretty soothing (and crisping just as well). Beside it being a much-needed break, it was simply wonderful to be somewhere else than my own four walls again, with my lovelydovely best friends. THOUGH, I love my four walls. It’s always a pleasure to come back.

Coming back is a nice cue because my dear insta-follower knows the look of this week already. I came back to what I wore for a cocktail-sipping night about two weeks ago because I felt this gem of an outfit deserved an own post. I can not stress almost enough how much like a snack I feel wearing this. And because I don’t want this lovely feeling to withdraw from you, I’ll give you a few insights for it today, to recreate or get inspired by.

But firstly, on another more personal note (as I like to write down my whole life on the internet, apparently? Cybersafety training didn’t get to me really deep yet, cough-cough.) – I’ve got a promotion this week! THAT was delighting. Promotion actually means that I’m working on a few other bits, surrounding other themes on my job, but I felt so lucky and happy to get the chance. And as a few dear people around me once said – never. Stagnation. Don’t you ever, ever stand still. Naturally, I said yes. And that’s why I’m smiling like a Cheshire cat for four days straight.

But now back to the reason why you’re probably mainly here – the faaashion. As I said in the intro – to me this was a cocktail look. Mainly, because the top I’m wearing underneath the jacket isn’t really appropriate in formal-clothing-areas. Nevertheless, it is pretty casual, but on the other hand pretty high-functional-casual. By that I mean, that you could wear this on a night out (bar, disco, party – you name it) but also to a formal dinner. And why so, I’m telling you now.

We have the few casual elements mainly on the upper body – the 90’s cut leather jacket; rather a leather blazer, for once. Secondly, the white spaghetti-strap top. Those you wouldn’t typically wear to an office, or somewhere, where you would want to be taken seriously. Now that sounds so negative, you think? Far from that. Pieces, that don’t scream “formal” automatically scream “dégagé” (translates to = casual. unconstrained. nonchalant.) – which we really like when trying to find suitable pieces for a night out.

On the downer half of my body, you see rather chic, formal pieces. A classic straight, black pants (that’s hugging my booty in all the right places, I tell you. One of the top 5 gems of my wardrobe) together with pointed, heeled sandals. A pointed shoe may give you a bit of foot pain, but it will also give you 50+ points of elegance, no matter the outfit.

For accessorizing I wanted to add a bit of colour, to give the look that tiny bit of extra pop. Therefore, you see the silk scarf wrapped around my tiny black bag. The print is somewhat Hermès inspired. Naturally not a real Hermès. Mama still doesn’t have the money yet.

Corresponding with the bag and the rest of the colour scheme of this weeks look, I wore black sunglasses. Considering the ornaments of the bag being golden, I added some small golden hoops.
