I am really pleased about the very warm comments I got regarding my Paris Hanami map, even though since last week the trees most probably suffered a bit due to the wind and the rain in the capital.

However, it was such a pleasure last weekend with the sun and because it isn’t really the case anymore, let me post a few pictures of a « true » spring day. This outfit is the symbol of my basic spring outfit and I hope to wear it again soon!

Once again, nothing new but here’s a new look made of things I’ve already got and -you’ve already know how I work- my feedbacks about these pieces that have survived to the last dressing sorting :

• My H&M trench : From 2014, it was quite successful when it was on sale and you might also still have it with you. Even though I haven’t gone to H&M or Zara for a while, I haven’t regretted this purchase, which has remained the same along the years: machine-washable but requires a bit of patience to iron due to the numerous folds.
• My Boden Tshirt : (2016) you can’t fully see it but it’s a white basic shirt made in cotton with 3/4 sleeves. The cut is not perfect but I wear it anyway as I haven’t found the perfect long sleeves white shirt. If you have any advices…
• My Cyrillus pants : I’ve got them since last September. I love the cut and it’s very comfy but I actually wouldn’t recommend them in terms of quality of the fabric because it bubbles with the friction. Thankfully you can’t really see it as it’s black but I am not fully satisfied. Too bad.
• My Mango flats : I’ve got them since 2017. Unequalled confort and minimalist look that I love. This being said, the leather has started cracking even though I’ve done a good maintenance. It will depend on how long I can keep them but I can’t imagine the day I will have to throw them away. So, must be taken care of. I am actually hesitating to buy an extra pair because Mango sale them again this year = you can imagine how much I love them).
• My Zac Posen bag : Since 2016, it isn’t 100% convenient due to its small size but the unusual shape is a plus. I don’t wear it often and mostly keep it for special occasions such as « parties », when it only contains my lipstick and two tissues. We can also insert a wallet but you’ll need a tote bag for the rest.

So here is the kind of simple outfit I like wearing. My lazy method is all about adding spicy touches with accessories (here, earrings and bag), so that I don’t get bored of my minimalist outfit. All is about the accessories ! (English translation by Quiterie)

Once again here is a look made of things I already have in my closet. I am really pleased to see that you like these “recycled” fashion related articles.

While writing this word “recycle” I am aware that it shows a serious issue of consumption as it’s supposed to be used in a normal way. Wearing a few times our clothes is not recycling, it’s just the basis for a balanced consumption… but anyway, you understand me!

Since I’ve limited my wardrobe and fashion consumption, I am still happy to use these pieces of clothes with a new association and even more with the nicer days approaching.

As the last time, I will give you a few feedbacks about my outfit items you’ve already seen on this blog:

• My Sézane “Will” denim jacket : From the 2016 collection, enough time has passed to say that it worth the investment. I washed it a few times in the laundry, it didn’t move and I can wear it with everything. Casual and chic at the same time, a basic we can count on.
• My La Redoute lace blouse : also from 2016, I’ve receive compliments every time I wear it and it always saves me when I don’t know what to wear for a night out. But on a daily basis, it knows how to look good… knowing that I’ve washed it in my laundry (not event delicate program!)… What a pleasure!
• My Uniqlo wide denim jeans : I am in love with these jeans that I’ve been wearing during both winter and summer times. You’ve seen it a few times already on this blog. You can’t buy it anymore (they have another one on sale now but a bit too short): what a shame because they are easy to keep and the stretch fabric makes them super comfy.
• My Boden leopard flats : 2016 seems to be a very good year! I’m still very happy with the comfort and the quality of these leopard ballerinas, which add a savage touch to all kind of outfit. I can walk for hours with them even thought they are a bit (too?) flat. All the ballerinas should get inspired by these ones: nothing hurts !
• My Sézane “Dean” bag : As I told you last time, I’m quite satisfied with my Sézane bags. Little drawback for this one that I haven’t worn often unlike the others (…which explains why I hadn’t noticed this drawback!): the flat camel leather gets easily some marks so if you don’t take care of it, you’d better choose the croco style leather from the brand, thicker and not as sensible for the impacts.

I told you I was only wearing old stuffs… but actually there is one exception with these accessories: flake imitation earring for the final touch. Worth the €13!

Even with this price I hope they will last as long as possible. I reinforced the rod with a bit of glue in-between the plastic and the rod.

If you would like to « invest » as well, you should know that they are very light and we quickly forget them, which is quite a positive point. Let’s see how long they will be ok… but with my little DIY improvement, I think all the chances are on my side! (English translation by Quiterie)
