The friday circuit

Friday afternoon shopping circuit included:

First stop by one of my favorite consingment store where I tried on a couple of thing but nothing really made my heart jump.

Second stop: COS to see if they had finally received these shoes, turns out they still hadn't... even if my size is already sold out online... Weird. I would have liked to see them and try them on.

Third and final stop was Zara where I got this embroidered bomber: so Drive, so unexpected by my sartorial standards yet I can't help gushing about its loveliness. Now we'll see if I chicken out, invoke reasonable motives and return it or adopt it no matter what the "smart" part of my mind says. 

Here's what I was wearing for my tour. Something warm and comfortable for the 13° C sunny afternoon: white linen tee under alpaca light grey sweater, a wool jacket to top it, skinny blue jeans, sneakers and a navy duffle bag.   



 
wool jacket/veste en laine,  white linen tee/tshirt en lin, pull/sweater: Isabel Marant Etoile - jeans: h&m - sneakers/baskets: Nike Blazer x Comptoir des Cotonniers - sac/bag: Céline asymmetrical duffle - écharpe/scarf: h&m.

  2. You look so stylish as always. And that white linen tee is such a great stable but its so difficult to find one that lasts and doesn't shrink. I love your trainers! Which other trainer models/ colours do you like? I really need some recommendations! X x x

    1. Thanks a lot Hannah!

      The tee is worth it, more expensive than the average tee but at least it holds up season after season and wash after wash.

      About sneakers, it's funny I was just thinking about getting rid of my Isabel Marant Betty and instead get basic black low top Converse. I also really like the retro vibe of the Nike Cortez and Adidas Gazelle!

  4. I just bought myself a new grey sweatshirt which is a touch darker than yours. Now I need a light one as well. Drat.

    Do love your Nikes.

    1. Ha ha! I thought I'd be less into grey now that spring's here but it has become a year round staple color hasn't it?

    1. Thanks so much!
      Oh I did chicken out and returned the Zara jacket. It's lovely and all but in the end I simply could not justify this purchase. Maybe if seriously discounted, then I'd be more inclined to get it.
