In Grey We Trust

Sales are ending and shops are step by step being filled with spring news - colourful, lightweight fabrics, floral prints, light brown leather. But reality is we have winter here for yet another month (at least). Today, on a quick visit to city, I literally ran through Zara and got 3 great pieces - in neutrals and grey. But they are really, really great.

1. Melange chunky knit black/white sweater (it is screaming style and begging to be worn with skinny jeans and heeled or motorcycle boots with studs and photographed for an atmospheric black and white closeup). Discounted by 60%.

2. Snake print skinny riding pants (at ridiculous 19 eur).

3. Cotton light cream sweater with lurex. It can be worn with a belt and it fits those snaky pants, I think. And it is 90% cotton. There are numerous number of clothes I have rejected for the fabric. Nowadays a rare knit is made of pure cotton or cotton mix. Polyester is everywhere: and I do not accept it. Not for any discount. :) Lurex is very subtle but it is more visible than in a photo.

 

More grey in my Karen Millen outfit: the waterfall knit and a bag I got from the web store discounts.

Knit- Karen Millen, green top - Zara, Right hand bracelet - Indiska, Left hand leather bracelet - Dimacci, Bag - Karen Millen, Nailpolish - YSL.

And some more guilty pleasures: tea at home with fresh "potato" mud cakes and chocolates from Fazer cafe in Mikonkatu brought for my sick husband. We are the potato cake maniacs. ;)
