Kryptonite

Kryptonite

"You should wear more color", is something I get quite often in the comment box. I know, I know but it's really hard to come out of my black and grey comfort zone. The weather has a lot to do with it too; wearing color during winter time feels like someone put a person in color in a black and white picture and it just doesn't look quite right. Since today we had somewhat of spring like weather, it finally felt like some color deserved to come out of my closet. I know beige is not so daring but hey, baby steps my friends, baby steps.







Blazer: Second hand
T-shirt: MTWTFSS
Jeans: PiP
Shoes: Urban Originals via eBay
Ring: Marc by Marc Jacobs via eBay

This outfit features a few new things I have aquired recently. Starting from the jeans, I got them a couple of weeks ago from the folks at Panic in Paradise. Not feeling their pocket designs so much but I just love the Balmainish finishing on these jeans. Their prices are actually quite moderate and they also ship internationally (just email them). Moving up to the stripey blazer which is a second hand purchase from a few weeks back. I think I saw something very similar in Sweden by Carin Wester, so this was truly a great find for spring. The metal piece Marc by Marc Jacobs ring was a must have after I saw it on Lady Lunacy's blog; luckily they still had some on eBay. It kind of reminds me of the kryptonite rods that make Super Man weak, so perhaps I should call it my kryptonite ring from now on. In any case, it's another big ring add to my growing collection.

I definitely agree with you on the black and white thing. And besides, it's classically chic! You can't go wrong with it!

I think more color isn't necessary for you. You rock already if your on your most comfortable in basics why change?

If you like a certain colour palette, then wear what you like. I hate when people try to push colours on others. I stick to my basic colours of grey, black and navy. And I think that's fine.

And btw, you look great. :0)

Beautiful blazer, I'd love something similar, and the ring!!!

I feel the urge to somehow lighten up my outfits at this time of the year, but not necessarily with splashes of bright colour, creamy colours, soft gray and even the dreded beige are more like it. And blue, every soft shade of it...

Lindasofia: Joo mä kans diggaan, kiitti!:O)

Anni: Kiitos. Väriä luvassa lisää, kun mennään kohti kevättä. :)

Styledrop: Thanks, I agree! ;)

Meaghan: Thanks! I love my ring too. :)

Corrie: I had to..after seeing it on your blog I immediately went to ebay to search for one. I'm so happy they had it! Thanks for the inspiration btw! And yes, black, grey and white really the best!;)

Christina: That's true! I'm happy with my black and greys. :)

Juliet: Exactly!:) When I decide add more color to my outfits (like now), it's gonna be really neutral tones. I do have some pink jeans in my closet waiting for spring but I will mix them with black and grey.. what's new heh.. ;)

She's dressing up: Thanks, the combo works surprisingly well. :) Oh, the ring.. I'm in love..

Aurelia: I agree. Beige is something I had in my closet already though, I also have some navy blue and pink waiting for the spring days.. But the black/grey/white palette always works the best for me for one reason or another. Thanks!:)

Sugar Kane: Aww, thanks hon! ;) You should get the ring for yourself before they're gone! I'm definitely feeling the same color palette with you, I think the "cold" colors suit us dark haired rocknroll girls the best. ;)

YoQueSe: Thank you!:)

You have the most amazing ring collection - it's something I hope to amount to one day. I also like how your shirt is perfectly gently crumpled, it adds so much texture.

Hi
Colur combination is very good..

I keep hearing one or the other seller frustrated from eBay because they pulled their auction listing. It is very easy to violate an eBay listing guideline without knowing, the first you’ll learn about it is when you receive an email from eBay. http://www.infyecommercesolution.com/
