So, the holiday month and the year 2021 are over. But not without a look at what I wore to the office in December. This time including new clothing and accessories. Curious? Then read on.
Budget brooches
As some of you may know, I have been painting for over a year and a half. Not so much creative painting, but using the paint by number principle. I always order the canvas from AliExpress, the well-known budget webshop.
Although I normally just order only what I need, a few months ago I decided to take a look around. And so I came across the brooches department. I had never seen brooches so beautiful and cheap at the same time. So I ordered some. Let’s see if they are as beautiful as the webshop portrays.
Yes, it turned out to be a success. In the photos above, I am wearing a gold-colored brooch in the shape of a girl with a large stone. What a beauty! And that for €1.41 including shipping costs.
Nice sweater
Sweaters are one of the most difficult items of clothing for me. They often look very casual and since I usually opt for smart clothes, it’s not always easy to find one that I like. However, I managed to do it last month. At Costes, I found the black sweater with openwork neck below.
Go-to outfit
I’ve had this jacket in my closet for years and it is one of my favorite pieces of clothing. Because it looks so chic, it needs little else. A black outfit and a few gold buttons on a blouse are enough to finish it off. Ideal when I’m in a hurry and have no idea what to wear.
New blouse
In addition to the sweater, I also scored a blouse at Costes. One that matches my hair perfectly. It was love at first sight.
Creative with company clothing
Another recent addition was the blouse below from workwear brand Texstar. A beautiful, striped blouse in the colors black and white. Because the blouse looks basic, I felt the need to make something special out of it. That’s why I paired it with a dotted tie, tie clip, and solid black suspenders. The combination of dots and stripes gives it a slightly different look.
Suspenders over vest
In the October article, I showed how I started experimenting with wearing suspenders over cardigans. I still regularly get comments from people who think it looks crazy, but I like it. So last month I did it again.
Love for waistcoat grows
I have also embraced the waistcoat. Years ago, I gave up on this item of clothing because I didn’t like it. But now that I’ve had a waistcoat made of nice, stretchy fabric, I’ve embraced it again. Because secretly I think it’s a pretty marvelous piece of clothing.
What do you think is the best month of December outfit?
