What We Wear Wednesday: Sunny tartan in the fall

Don't you just love those perfect fall days when the light hits the threes and the fallen leaves just right? On moments like this, I doubt whether characterizing myself as a summer person still goes. Where I have no hesitation about however is the fact that I'm a pure beanie addict. I just cannot leave the house anymore without something on my head - also, perfect to keep my hair under control and obey my rules. Therefore, a few weeks back I decided that two beanies just wouldn't cut it this fall/winter and so the search commenced. Do any of you experience getting something/some item stuck in your head and going to great lengths to obtain that certain something? Of course I'm talking at the moment about superficial things you want to buy, but I guess that might characterize a person with great determination who is willing to do what it takes to reach certain goals. Who knew shopping behavior could explain your psyche, right?

Beanie: Choies - Tartan shirt, shirt: H&M - Denim shorts: New Look - Flatforms: from Barcelona - Tights: River Island

So I bought three beanies already, and I'm not even halfway done. Here I'm wearing one of my favorites, searched in the quest by everyone known as 'I must have a beanie with some random text on it'. I can tell you I succeeded (double, but you'll probably see that soon enough). 

Currently listening to:
A combination of Bob Dylan (yes, I saw the great man perform this weekend) and Jimmy Eat World. 

Currently craving for (fashion wise or other):

People to use their common sense more often

Two for one: tartan skirt part one

I don't think I need to tell you guys, but tartan is hot and happening this A/W. When spotting the trend, I immediately thought about a little something I had laying around (ok, hidden in a box in the basement). More than a decade ago this mature woman (ahum) was a nifty little annoying pubescent girl, listening to punk music (some things never change) and dressing accordingly. One of my favorite staples at that time was a plaid skirt (that and my red Venom pants), for which I had to go to the far Antwerp to buy (at least far for a teenager from Limburg). 

I dug up this treasured skirt from the enormous depths of our basement and fell head over heels again. Inspiration ahoy! Because most items are quite versatile in the sense that you can wear them in different outfits that are accompanied by a completely different feel, I thought it may be interesting to implement something like this on the blog. After this post, you can expect another one very soon with the same skirt, but in a very different style. 

First up - letting my inner teenager out again - the tartan skirt in a grungy/punk style. I can't even begin to explain how much this felt like coming home, clothingwise that is. Totally having Anarchy in the UK on repeat. 

PS: The flatforms are my souvenir from Barcelona <3

PS2: Should have cut those white things from my shirt... 

Plaid skirt: oldschool - Shirt, beanie: H&M - Tights: no idea - Bag: Ebay - Flatforms: Victoria from Barcelona - Studded bracelet: Claire's

Stay tuned for the other style very soon!
