7 Things about dressing

Elizabeth from the wonderful Primoeza blog tagged me to show 7 things about dressing. It took me a while to get this post ready but as I wanted to get my closet in order anyway, today was the day of getting the piles out, sorting, folding them and putting them back into my closet.
I could only bring a limited amount of stuff over to Australia and so I choose very carefully what to bring with me. Of course over the time you start buying things here and there but in the beginning I felt it was quiet a relief not to have too much stuff to choose from and that it is all about the mix. I realized today that I am really into color. I couldn't really tell my favorite color, navy-blue maybe but then I think of all the earthy tones I love, such as a nice forest green, a warm rusty orange or a mustard-yellow and I know..there is not really a favorite color.

Here are a couple of images from the stuff I like and treasure.
Some things from my closet
#1 I got quiet a few stripe-y items together over the years.

#2 I really love colorful jeans, and lately especially corduroy

#3 I am a collar lover! (Shirt from COS)

#5 In Germany I love to layer up in Autumn and Winter and love to wear heavy-knit and jackets, well this was the only one I took with me and I think I did it because of the color :)

I would love to tag Sophie, Trixi and Anne Louise

wow!! You have great taste! Where du you buy all of these pretty colored jeans? And where did you get the green jacket? So pretty!

Goodness, I'd love to take over your wardrobe, especially all those stripy things ;-) I'm actually in the middle of packing one suitcase right now and oddly enough I'm loving the challenge of just packing what I really need and love. It feels so refreshing :-)

renja said...

Oh my God, this was something amazing and perfect! I love these clothes and your style.

Anna of The Analog House said...

lovely! I have a huge collection of stripes, plaids, and totes, too!

Trixi said...

Oh!

Okay der Tag passt insofern gut, da ich durch den Urlaub auch gerade auf- und einräumen muss. Mal sehen wann ich das schaffe :)

Und ich kann total nachvollziehen, wie gut es sich am Anfang in Sydney angefühlt haben muss, ich mag es auch sehr, wenn man seine Umgebung auf die wichtigen Sachen reduziert.

mieke willems said...

great post! and agree with you in many things, especially the colors, flat shoes and collars. but also we both have this backpack too, and totebags all over :)

Vivi said...

Hey María, lovely post.
I have some questions about blogging, is it ok if I email you? Let me know.
Have a wonderful day!

Vivi.-

Charlyn W said...

isn't it funny when you get everything out at once and see how much colour there is? your coloured pants look amazing all lined up and that jacket is beautiful.

Thanks so much for your lovely comments :)

@Cecilie: the pants are mostly from American Apparel, their slim slacks are really great. The rusty colored one is from Gorman an Australian brand which is really worth checking out.
@Trixi: Ich glaub dein Schrank ist meinem sehr ähnlich :)
@Vivi: Sure thing. I am happy to answer questions about blogging
@Elizabeth: Oh yes, I know what you mean. I very regularly take everything out of the closet, just to see what I miss out because it ended up at the bottom of a pile :)

anne said...

you know, i have been meaning to do this, but have only just found my camera re-charger, so maybe that can be tomorrow's fun activity :)

and - hilariously - i can 'see' my clothes in yours, especially the stripes and flats: classics ! (but jealous of your coat :) )

Ilmarie said...

@See Hear Say: They're from Minimarket, I think you don't get them anymore as they're from one of the last seasons.
But check out Asos, they have similar ones ;)
