The sudden drop in temperature meant that I could give my winter knits another round in the (non-existent) sun. But, I've been too comfortable in bare legs to actually put on pants or stockings. I like wearing this Helmut Lang skirt because the fun twist in it adds a little bit of drama to the outfit. Although, it does seem rather counter-productive to wear cashmere & leather on the top with that much ventilation on the bottom?

It's fun to be business on top and party on the feet.

Sometimes it's just fun to throw together some well-loved items and call it an outfit; my all-time favourite denim shorts, the Senso boots that travelled with me in Asia, the Celine trio that I wear with everything, comfy knit and Karen Walker 'deep freeze' sunglasses that are paired with everything.

Since turning the ripe of age of 21 a few years back, I've been lamenting my old age. All maladies, real or imagined, have been laid in front of old age's door. The most noticeable of which is the fact that I don't really know how to wear colour and/or patterns anymore, especially in winter. All bursts of colour have been subdued to lipsticks, accessories and the occasional printed denim. When I'm feeling really crazy, I wear navy like its nobody's business.

For the past season or two, the one print that's really gotten past my new-found, age-induced barrier against colours and prints, is the Proenza Schouler snake print and the Josh Goot snake print. So, when I saw this bright yellow snakeprint cashmere sweater from Equipment, there was minimal hesitation before my credit card was out and ready for action. 

Perhaps old age merely meant no prints except for those found on animals? Because I don't think I'll ever stop loving leopard.

white winter

Joie sweater | J Brand jeans | Zara heels| Celine two tone clutch | Ray-Ban sunglasses

White jeans are an interesting addition into my winter wardrobe this year, it's been the perfect choice for warm sunny winter days. It allows me to wear my usual black/grey/navy without feeling to burdened by dark colours. It goes amazingly well with all my sweaters, which mostly lie on the oversized side. I love how cosy this Joie sweater is. It has the perfect cowl neck which saves me the trouble of having to wear any necklaces. Lazy days perfection. 

I can't wait to wear these white jeans during spring with light silk Equipment shirts!
