SHOP THE LOOK:

With the topic of time this week, today I’ll talk about “work”. I spend a lot of time working – who’d have thought. Blogging, for one, takes up a lot of time: lots of emails to be managed, meetings to be had, and events to be attended. And since this is basically just my hobby, I also work in the form of internships. There, it’s again about e-mails, but then also a lot about Excel, and sales numbers and sample organization …

In either case, this is one of my “work” outfits – and it’s all about the stripes. I started this one based on this beautiful, classic Gucci Sport watch. Its timeless design will probably never go out of style, with the traditional Gucci stripes in red and green on the strap, and the modern and playful design of the face. It inspired the look in terms of casualty, the theme of stripes and the colors. Starting with a striped blue shirt, topped of with a dark red sweater and an army green blazer on top. Charcoal wool pants, as a neutral to tone it down, and reintroducing the stripes with the socks. What are your thoughts?
