It took me a while to warm up to the whole grunge idea, but when I finally got around to it I couldn’t be more thrilled. The only problem is that since I was old enough to be a part of it the first time, wearing something like that makes me feel like a teenager. And not in a good way, the awkward and shy way. Nevertheless I am determined to make it work somehow.

Seeing the picture to the left in Elle Norway caused me buying a brown and black plaid dress on eBay. I thought it would be perfect over a wide pair of pants, a turtle neck with a knitted hat to top it off. When winter comes it will probably be too tempting to layer up anyway. And I thought that if it just didn’t work out for me, I could always play on the plaid trend in stead and wear it with a pair of heels or boots like on the pictures below. Simple, chic and nothing grunge about it.

All in all I think I’ve found the perfect solution - the plaid dress.

I so do not feel like dressing up today. I ended up on a black tee and jeans. Not very original, and I think that with the scarf it makes me look a little dangerous. Oh, well. I’m going to a party and a concert afterwards. Should be fun no matter what I wear.

I bought a pair of long leather gloves at H&M yesterday. When I bought them I thought that I wasn’t going to keep them cause I can’t really afford it right now, but that I’d just buy them and return them. I do that all the time at H&M. I mean, I already bought a black pair that wasn’t leather so I was kind of set already. This time I got the brown, partially because they were out of black in my size and partially because the brown appealed to me more for some reason although black made more sense. My intention was still to just borrow them a little bit.

When I got out of the store I tried the gloves on. Just for a few seconds. I kept doing that once in a while all the way home and back in the couch at home again. They made me feel so glamorous! I was totally unprepared for that to happen cause I didn’t feel that way with the black pair I got. It has to be leather. The smell reminds me of my first leather jacket and it’s such a great feeling of accomplishment. I put them carefully beside the bed before I went to sleep.

I mean, if these gloves make me feel this good, I should keep them right? It would be crazy to give them up now!

Gucci

A lot of ethnic inspiration here which I sometimes may be sceptical to, but it works here. I love to see a little dark colors for spring as well.

Alberta Ferretti

The collection looks very comfortable for hot days with it’s light, flowing fabrics.

Anna Molinari

A play between the hard, black, rock & roll look and the sweet, white, innocent look.
