I took a slight break, which I needed so that I could get work-related things in order. Nevertheless, the week has already started off quite good: on the weekend I had the chance to finally catch up with close friends from former jobs and even art university. Then, I went to a delicious homecooked dinner, and with the rest of the night being much infused with laughter, a variety of hearty soups, and cold sips that were all good for the soul.
I also found out that I was a weekend winner for photo of the day, in addition to winning a giveaway with Singer22. How wonderful! Right, well with all of that being said, it really is the little things that matter. This year I decided to change a few routine patterns, including the blog somewhat, life, and even my workout schedule. These simple pieces of happiness seemed to brighten my weekend, especially this one in particular since I don’t usually win many contests or enter too often for that matter, so I was very pleased!
I hope your week has begun with a dose of inspiration, but in case it hasn’t here’s an outfit that I wore a few weeks ago after a meeting. Classic patterns like houndstooth, chevron, and as you may have guessed by now, Tartan really becomes marvellous staples in my closet to style basics with. I dug out my vest and added colourful tights to liven up this winter look. Although many of us might be daydreaming in spring colours you can definitely go bold and bright during autumn/winter seasons as well.
Stay tuned, I have a couple of stylish treats up my velvet sleeves awaiting to share with you!
Lastly, don’t forget, you have several days left to enter (if you haven’t already), the Tic Sweden Giveaway here or enter through Facebook.
The goods: Silk blouse, Vest-F21, Handbag-Vintage, Vintage silk scarf-Charity shop, Tights-Miss Selfridge, Boots-Dorothy Perkins, Skirt/Necklace-Express, Bracelet-Thrifted, Bangle–Oasap, Jacket-Michael Kors.

Really love the houndstooth vest and blue tights together…it's a fun print and bright color that add interest to the black underlayer!

You're so right – it's all in the little things and the details. That's what really makes life, and it's so nice to hear that the changes you've made are making you a happier person 🙂 I'm loving this outfit, too; the pops of blue really bring the lovely monochromes to life in such a fun, pretty way.
