Hello dear friends, how are you all?
Last Sunday my husband and I decided to take a walk around CBD (Central Business District), the historical and main commercial centre of Sydney. From Monday to Fridays it is usually full of bustling activity but quiets down over weekends but now with all the major shopping centres and luxury boutiques being shut down and majority of businesses are not working from home, it is become absolutely deserted and looks rather sad and lost.
On the bright side, this situation has presented a perfect opportunity for those who is keen to take a closer look around this area, explore the laneways, admire the architecture and discover interesting details of the city you live in but never had a chance to do without being bumped into by someone in a hurry. Hence, here we are.
The outfit I am wearing today is what I quite often wear to the office during the winter months but it could easily go the other way and become a casual go to look.
I have worn every element of it previously but funny enough,
never in the same outfit until today. I
guess, when you are in lockdown and the only way to shop is on the net, one
starts digging into the closet trying to re-invent looks and come up with
something different 👍.
These wide-leg trousers are from Massimo Dutti, bought a few
years ago during our last holidays in 2019 in Georgia (a former republic of the USSR, now an independent country). It was our last one before the global pandemic ground everything to a halt.
The jumper is from Cos, it is made of pure cashmere, very
soft and comfortable and its slouchy style is very adaptable. I liked that fact that it is slightly cropped so when I put it on, my body shape is clearly defined unlike oversized
tops where you can hardly see anything. I used to wear it with a maxi knit skirt but quite like the way it looks over these wide-legged pants 👍.
My coat is from Cos too, a hand-me down from my oldest daughter and the stripy scarf was borrowed
from my husband 😊. I thought that its
grey, black and white pattern would perfectly reflect the colours of my outfit.
It's sad of course, for the reason why, but I like that it is a bit less busy everywhere. Well, actually it looks pretty like normal life over here now. Love the outfit, stylish and casual!
ReplyDeleteThank you Nancy, it's important to see the other side of the coin, put the things into perspective
DeleteOur little down lost one antique shop business but apart from that thankfully everything made it through the lockdown last year. Thankfully it was just a few months here that the non essential shops were closed.
ReplyDeleteI love this gray monochromatic look. I am branching out with different cuts for bottoms and finding out which tops work best.

DeleteSuch a nice monochrome outfit! I like the tartan pants too, I used to have a similar pair for work years ago pre-kids. I miss them sometimes!
ReplyDeleteIt's good you were able to get out and explore a little despite lockdown.
Thanks for joining the #WeekdayWearLinkup! Hope you have a good weekend ahead of you. Another busy but fun one here :)

DeleteThose trousers are everything Anna! One thing I liked about lockdown here in the UK was so much more opportunity to take photos in places that would normally be difficult. A small plus side I know. I hope yours ends soon xx
ReplyDeleteThank you Laurie, there must a bright side to every dark sight, otherwise we will plunge into darkness.
ReplyDeleteI just love the plaid print on your pants and the wide leg fit! So cute!
ReplyDeleteThis look is great. I love pop's of colour but earth tones are really classics. And grey happens to be one of the best. Love the tailored pieces and the accessories are perfect.
