Don't Turn Around: Just Press Play!

My Day: 

The office had an unusual calming air, and all of those who were contained within the space seemed to be preoccupied with affairs unrelated to the professional agenda. A typical work day it was not, but toward the latter part of the day I decided to take the remaining parts of my work home, because I had all things art related on my mine.

A few of us had scheduled to attend an art show, however due to a co-worker's abrupt life-interruption plans needed to be shifted at the last moment. I was not at all upset, instead I had time to catch a few snapshots before daylight decided to take a night's rest. The weather was mild... then windy, and slowly started to settle at the perfect temperature.

Time will soon transform for the season when an hour will make a slight or for a large number of folks a major difference in completed tasks for the duration of a day. It's a time when days will be shorter, and you bundle up in chunky knits to snuggle yourself into for extra warmth, or at least have the look of warm.  Although, I am dressed and ready, I felt the need to incorporate a "shorts" ensemble once more! Bring out the tights, boots, scarves, hats, and gloves, and then repeat.

After a self style analysis I realised that my outfit was:  a) one that I was happy to play on repeat, and  b) a look that took all of a few seconds to grab-and-go! Perhaps we all have one day a week, a month, or even a year when we have the thought of wanting a familiar outfit or that feeling of "whatever, let's just go with it" type of look.  It doesn't need a heavy story, nor does it need to make sense to anyone else except YOU! Well, here is mine.

Inspiration: climate versatility

When overheated I'm able to take off the jacket, because of the short-sleeved Tee underneath, and if cold there's always the option to put the jacket back on... 
Secondly, I wanted textured legwear: the patterned tights has an air-conditioning breeze that the lace naturally provides; and in the end pairing the boots was genuinely a must! (For some reason I tend to wear this particular style of tights with low boots.) 


Do you have any favourite items in your closet that you seem to wear together in the rhythm of repeat? 

*Items loving/wearing at the moment: New beauty express eye brow kit by Anastasia: I've only used this twice for night, but I'd recommend this kit if you want to start doing your own brows to look like a pro! comes with stencils as well so it's quite easy to use. I'm also loving my new lipstick by Illamasqua- in Corrupt, great look for a daytime dramatic touch.
