simple denim for work

Hey everybody - what does your weather look like ?



Fall finally made his entrance and I kissed my light, summer clothes good bye for the upcoming time. I can't remember when I wore my jeans the last time...





But - lucky me - my Barbara Bui boots from last, last FW collection fit perfectly fine into this season color's code.... look at this color:

Tokyo really surprises me with that sudden change to spring. Looking back to my home tome in Western Germany, still beating degrees around 10, I feel stunned once again by this planet.

Cannot believe that with sitting in a plane for a little over 9 hours tomorrow, will bring me to summer in Australia.

How does your weather look like?

 Patterns and Stripes do not go along well?

I thought so at first, but was really surprised seeing that I fell in love instantly with that black based pattern and stripes clothes. 

Overall is black a pretty thankful and giving "color". One may argue, that black is no color, but the result of fully light absorption.

Basically the absence of color.

In 1982, launching Yohji Yamamoto and Rei Kawakubo outside of Japan in Paris, their style in layering and especially black is described as turning point:

"At the heart of this nothingness was the color black. Black, at the time, was a subversive choice. It was the color of mourning, of subcultural rebellion, of emotional dissonance, of artistic distemper. It was the essence of the avant-garde." (read further here: Voguepedia)

Why do you choose black?

Stripe Shorts x2

And here we go for another stripe short outfit - spring is finally approaching. With temperatures around 20 degrees (according to the weather forecasts) and even more sun it enlightens one's soul. 

One post earlier I kind of declared my fascination for this freedom of choice we have in expressing ourselves with clothes, shoes and accessories. I am still wondering, when in the fashion world this time  started. 

Do you have any guesses?

Stripe Shorts x1

You may remember those stripe shorts from here. I thought of them with a lot of fun..

It may be my playful character, but I love to experiment and take seriousness out of outfits. Sure, I still like those elegant, clean chic styles. For me it is just amazing how easily we can adapt ourselves to one style and choose another direction in a few steps. 

Having no boundaries (but budget I guess) and being able to purchase almost everything, is one kind of freedom I am not about to give up. 

Pretty thankful for that revolutionary fashion empire unlike the e.g. 80s, as everything you could buy were a few type of pants, shirts and colours.

It is a (monochrome) Beanie Story

I was wondering: why is the Beanie suddenly so popular?

Winter-Spring-Gap part 3

Going out for Shibuya, of course, weather is still not playing it's part well.

Rain. Rain. Rain.

Ah! And clouds.

Though umbrellas are pretty handy, and really everywhere in Tokyo sold in every shape, size, color you can imagine. As soon as it starts raining.

I felt too lazy though and made myself up for a fashionable "hat" instead.




This style may resemble Winter-Spring-Gap part 1 but this one has quite a pretty color-flash-moment, thanks to orange.

Moto Jacket, the second

Maybe it is because I am driving motor cycles myself. 

Maybe I just like leather. 

Maybe it is just a trend that really got me. 

I really don't know, but I enjoy myself in this Moto Jacket!

And I think this is one of the most important things in fashion: that you stay authentic to your style, authentic to yourself and enjoy playing with different fabrics, textiles, brands, images and styles.

I don't think, that there is this "one" look. Our world started to spin to fast, brought too many borders down and allowed cultures to mix - latest on the internet as we saw during the Arab Spring the past years. 

But instead of making everything easier - in the end we have more things we can choose from and depending on the size of our wallets ( or at least, that's what we think, the choice barriers seem far, far away).

Colorful Basics Set 4/6

After the pink-black-intermezzo I thought of another outfit for the 6 days!

A great friend of mine (her name is Claudia, we both adore fashion and I love how our styles and identities vary sometimes drastically, but can be alike so much) saw these pictures first and encouraged this yellow combination. Truth is, I love that summer-like feeling, especially with blonde hair and orange lips. It makes me dream of heat, the smell of sun tanned skin, ice-cream and water melons. 

Can not wait for more sun!!

With the basic list, find out below how good light colors work!

Colorful Basics Set 2/6

Do you know those moments when you realize you fell for something?

When I was thinking about the next Colorful Basics Set outfit, I could not stop myself for the black Moto Jacket. I just knew, today it has to be something with her in it. 

Though I wished this Jacket would be real leather and not made of gum, I am still happy of the purchase.

Since the first Outfit surrounded on the Chiffon Skirt color and turquoise Shirt, I decided to lay the focus today on colorful accents - like in a complete blue "Schößchen" Shirt and a lime green bag - just see for yourself!
