Interview stories

As I realized some time ago, transitioning from being a carefree bachelor’s student to a young professional that applies to jobs internships is not always easy… And I’m not just talking about being on time and budgeting for things other than beer and partying (I’ve always been more of a wine and Grey’s Anatomy kind of person anyway ;) The fact is, when you go to a liberal university you can wear pretty much whatever you like; a privilege one only fully appreciates in retrospect, when you suddenly realize that you have nothing resembling work attire, and crop tops aren’t gonna cut it at a job interview.

Not too long ago, I was caught in the same situation: an interview to go to but no suit, pencil skirt, sheer tights, or anything like that. Luckily the interview was not for a very formal environment, so I could still be a version of myself –here’s what I ended up wearing.

Ankle boots &other stories, jeans weekday, vintage shirt (marbles), zara sweater and old wool scarf.

Signature style

I've been thinking about 'signature' style... Personally, I like to experiment with how I dress, so I don't really have a specific style or a 'uniform'. What I think is really nice, though, is having that one 'signature item' you (almost always) wear, so it becomes your thing. Kind of like Miranda Presley's white Hermès scarves in the Devil Wears Prada book ;)

Five minute lunch wonder

It's been some time since I did food here, but this is too good not to share. I made this out of the random things I had in my fridge and it was delicious. It also happens to be really good for you (vegan, GF, full of good nutrients etc.), so here you go.

remembering to photograph halfway through the meal... 

Status update

Soo. Here's what's been up in my life lately...

I spent the winter holidays in Greece. Hung out with my mom, totally avoided work, met up with friends and generally got the rest and relaxation I needed.

Fancy dress

Sooo, this is what I should've worn on New Year's Eve...if I'd bothered to get out of my pyjamas that is, which I didn't. Instead I improvised dinner for my mom, which was really nice! So I'm showing you what I wore on Christmas instead -we went out for dinner by the way, I didn't just hang out on the couch in this ;)

happy wearing weekday top, vintage trousers and old &other stories shoes
