THE FOUNDATION OF A WARDROBE: THE LBD

Do I need to say more? Like almost every LBD this dress is the perfect piece for almost any and every occasion. The LBD itself is a piece, that is more on the simple but classy side. Since I don’t feel comfortable by dressing to classy on some days, I love to dress my outfits down. This time with a little help of my leather jacket and this chelsea boots.

Since summer is taking us for a ride, we all keep complaining about the fickle hot and cold weather. The only thing I really am happy about is still being able to wear my leather jacket. I really love to layer my outfits with at least one layer but when the temperature hits 30 degrees it’s over. And I feel like all the light cardigans, vests or blazers are all made of these materials where you feel like you’re in a sweatbath even if the fabrics are that sheer and thin. The best example that appearances are often deceiving.

I’m not a fan of changing throughout the day, but I am definitely a big fan of doing a lot of things when I leave the office – especially in summer when the days are getting longer and nights are getting more pleasant. That’s why I like to attire myself in a way that is appropriate for office, but still doesn’t look too uptight.

Yep. I could dress more casual than I do now. But I just feel safe dressing like I’m ready for office even if I’m out of office. Does this even make sense? Maybe this needs a bit of explanation. Ever since I’ve worked in a hotel, I had to keep in mind, that I don’t dress too ‘street’ – well, I actually never did, because that wasn’t quite my taste in clothing, I guess. Still, we had to wear uniforms, but there were some days when the chaotic side of me forgot the keys of her locker. To work for a prestigious hotel in shorts and white sneakers in summer was really embarrassing. So I managed to get one of the spare uniforms in our linen room. Well, that didn’t work out the way I thought. If you wonder what could be more embarrassing than working in shorts and sneakers? Working in a blazer and skirt or costume wearing sneakers. Yap. That’s exactly when I stopped wearing sneakers. And that’s why I feel safe, keeping it a bit classy now. Just in case. Cause you never know. True to the motto: You can’t be overdressed on the streets of Vienna. But definitely when you have some appointments you don’t know about yet 😉
