During the time of year when we have shorter days and it
seems as if the sun has requested its own holiday, there’s still room for dazzling
inspiration. Brightness does not have to translate into literal sunshine instead,
just bring your own bit of intensity in any environment through your clothing.
I know, the dreary
and often lifeless weather doesn’t help at times, especially when it’s blended
with the bitter cold.
If you’re a dedicated follower of this blog, then you know
that I immensely adore colour! There are times when I wear darker
hues, but they still convey a cheerful mood. And, to top it all off, when I
need to add a comfort element in my outfit (in general), jersey comes to mind.
I wore this printed jersey dress from the
Gudrun Sjödén winter collection and paired it with tights, and a scarf
for this look. The dress silhouette is quite simple, yet the print screened on
the fabric makes it somewhat marvellously elaborate. It’s comfortable and easy
to style, be it for versatility or dashing out quickly in layers. So, to me it
was a clear winner. I almost forgot that it had pockets until I randomly tried
out a few more belt options for other ways to wear it—the added bonus of
pockets was a smart choice.
Unbelievably, we finally
narrowed down our Christmas dinner party menu last week in advance. A couple drafts and
translations later, in addition to a few group e-mails, it is now complete. To
be honest, I don’t know why I’m always the one elected to take the planning
lead for our gatherings and dinner parties, but deep down inside … well, of
course I love it. So, I will not complain too much!
How has your November been so far?

I'm enjoying November with all the rich colours around us even if the sky is so often grey. The sun has made an appearance from time to time. Your outfit is so autumnal and the colours remind me of the fallen leaves!

Madison that dress looks marvelous. I love to wear bright colors too. Esp. when it's dark and grey outside. Das Kleid steht dir so richtig toll. Dieses Outfit gehört echt zu meinen Lieblingen. Die perfekt Farbe für den Herbst. Ihr habt jetzt schon euer Weihnachtsmenü zusammen!!! Omg ich sollte mich vielleicht auch langsam ans planen machen. Wenn es nach mir geht würde ich den November, Dezember, Januar und Februrar vom Kalender streichen. Hab noch einen wunderschönen Mittwoch 😀

Aw, thanks so much for your comment. We wanted to be better planned this year, so the Christmas dinner party is sorted. 🙂
Haha, sorry dear I have holiday on my mind! Yes, I meant shorter days, but for me work-wise longer because of season deadlines and the time of year. 🙂 Thanks for your comment.
That dress is gorgeous! Love the colour and print on you! 🙂
Good on you for organising Christmas dinner in advance, hope it's fantastic! 🙂

Did you say you have longer days around this time of the year? Where do you live 'cause i want to visit. It is quite the opposite here. The days are rather shorter here in North America. Anyway, you wear colors and prints well, i've noticed and you look so pretty. Love your dress.

Wonderful autumn pieces 🙂 this dress looks so lovely!
Liebe Grüße aus München 🙂
It's almost – 'almost' – worth the short days and early fall of night in order to be able to layer like this and to draw inspiration form the fabulous autumn range of colours as you do here. I love the rowan berry shades of your dress.
The slide towards Christmas seems VERY fast though…

Oh yes, I know you love color! You are so good at mixing different colors and prints together. It's just your thing 🙂 That is wonderful that you already have the Christmas menu planned out! It's always good to be prepared.
I also adore color and embrace the idea of making your own sunshine through your outfits! The print and color of your dress would definitely make one smile 🙂
