Pienenä muistutuksena, että Sunnuntaina saattaa taas pienet virpojat koputella oven takana. Eli kun ostat viikonlopun namuja niin muista ottaa pari ylimääräistä!
Hyvää viikonloppua!

Happy Weekend
by Sofia - in Random
I wanted to just stop by and wish you a wonderful weekend. Do you have any fun plans? I’ll be spending a bit of time working but mostly concentrating on hanging out with my near and dear ones. A country house escape is in the books for us.
This week somehow flew by faster than I can think. I don’t know why I feel like I didn’t achieve much but when I look back I started a few new projects that will perhaps make sense in a longer run. But not every week needs to be full of fun and games and achievements I guess. I did however watch the new season of Bridgerton and even though it’s partly bad acting and very “kitch” I love it. It’s just silly enough to be fun and to take your mind of anything worrisome. It’s like a prettified harlequin novel of sorts and I “buy it” for my down time for sure. Did you watch it? And more importantly, did you like it?
I have been compiling a bit longer and information filled blog post for you but it’s not quite ready yet. I will share as soon as I’m finished.
So I wish you a happy weekend!

Jeans and a white shirt
by Sofia - in Random
If you think of a very favourite looks for everyday what comes to mind? Not even for yourself but on anyone. I love a classic blue jean and a white shirt with loafers or the jeans with a white t-shirt and a pair of white Superga or Converse. The thing is I find it really hard to find lovely jeans that fit me and look great. And after speaking to many of my friends who have very different shapes and sizes to me all have the same problem. Shopping for jeans is hard. But why so? As even friends who have, in my opinion perfect bodies, say they struggle to find the right fit. I know I look better in skirts, dresses or slacks. But every now and then I think jeans just are the way to go. A great pair of lovely blue jeans are on my classics list with Breton stripe shirts, pearls and cashmere knits. They are there with all the other classics for a reason. They make an outfit any other piece of clothing can´t. I ordered these and am looking forward to trying if I got the size right and if they fit. You will know your body best, but I have learned over the years that for me a jean has to have a fairly high waist or it just travels down my hips and I find myself pulling them up all the time. I hate clothes that don’t fit or feel comfortable. I will report back to you once they arrive but I can tell you I have not had a pair of Levi’s 501´s since 1992. I have gone up so many inches it’s not funny but then again in 1992 I was a twelve year old who was 172 cm tall but weighed 42 kg so I think it’s best not to compare to a pre puberty child in a constant growth spurt. This is a different model though as it’s a cropped version. I thought it might look lovely for Spring with above mentioned shoe options or the Chanel sling backs.
These are the jeans I linked and ordered. Let’s see how the fit and size looks on me. I got mine two inches longer than the 176 cm model who is a few cm shorter than me in hopes they would hit a little closer to the ankle. One inch is about 2,5 cm so I think it might work.
Here are some jeans and shirts looks from Pinterest…
