Presenting my uniform for the last few weeks, which includes three of my most recent sartorial acquisitions. Well, it’s no secret that I have quite a propensity to wearing my new clothes till death, neglecting everything else. It’s like a fresh crush, an unhealthy love affair – falling in love with someone to whom you’re unable stop talking or be away from for more than three hours at a time without having a meltdown. In my case, I cannot stop donning my new Isabel Marant peacoat and A.P.C. shirt and canvas tote bag. On top of that, it seems like my subconsciousness always opts for teaming said items with a similar pair of jeans in a wee bit lighter shade, also from Cheap Monday, and the noted taupe boots from Isabel Marant. When I find a combination that does the trick, I abuse it massively until I fall out of love, and then find a way to rekindle the fling.

Be that as it may, I really adore this uniform. It’s no-nonsense and fuss-free. Seven colors, yet tremendously subdued. No one would take me for a harlequin. I feel completely at ease when wearing this attire, which is supremely vital in terms of style. Who wants to look uptight and forced anyway?

Sartorially speaking, I might lack imagination. But as cliché as it probably sounds, I can’t help but embrace what I love even though I know that I will eventually become fed up with my love affairs. No, I’m not that fickle! I might be surfeited with things I love, but I nevertheless won’t stop loving them – just like a favorite song stuck on repeat for six months. There’s a reason it’s being played over and over again, and I’ll love it as much as I used to when I revive the aural affair after a break from the intense overdose.

Psst! All the technical bumps have been taken care of, so it’s finally safe to add my blog to your reader, bloglovin, etc. Hurray!

Isabel Marant Etoile Atea coat

I’ve been eyeing this beautifully structured pea coat from Isabel Marant for quite a few months, and now I’m finally able to tick it off my wish list. Hurray! I compromised and went for a very dark navy one, despite the fact that I’ve always had both a black and navy pea coat on my list of dream purchases.

The timing couldn’t be more perfect as it’s started getting beastly cold outside. As with almost every new wardrobe addition of mine, I make collages. Not that I’m breaking any new ground, but it’s a great way to visually pinpoint my taste, preferences and style. I like doing collages with items I already possess and items of which I’m planning to get hold in the future.

Well, I’m aware that there are a lot of different shades of blue in these outfits. I think I tend to wear blue more than black nowadays, or any other color for that matter. And whoopsy daisy, there are oodles of A.P.C. items in the collages below. Obsessed much?
