blues & greys

Weather is still gloomy but it has not rained for a couple of days, which has felt like a relief. This also allows more opportunities to wear clothes different than raincoats and waterproof boots.
On Wednesday, I wore for the first time this jacket bought (second hand) at sunday street market. It's not a particularly warm jacket even if lined, as it's made of cotton. But it's comfortable enough under my winter coat so I will keep it in my wardrobe instead of storing it with my spring clothes. And it has pockets!.

Aunque el tiempo siga nublado y frío, por lo menos no ha llovido en un par de días.
El miércoles me puse por primera vez esta chaqueta que había comprado en el mercadillo (de segunda mano). No es especialmente abrigada, aunque está forrada, porque es de algodón, pero es muy cómoda para llevar bajo los abrigos, así que me la quedaré en el armario en vez de guardarla con la ropa de primavera. Y además ¡tiene bolsillos!.

I wore another new-to-me garment on Thursday, a pair of striped jeans. This is the first time in decades that I buy jeans, as usually they're not my cup of tea. But these ones are really comfortable, even if not the most flattering jeans ever (too baggy!). However, I will keep them for a while and will try to style them in different ways.

También estrené algo nuevo-para-mí el viernes, este par de vaqueros de rayas. Puede que haga décadas que no me compro unos vaqueros, normalmente ni se me ocurre. Pero estos son muy cómodos, aunque no sean lo más favorecedor, son demasiado sueltos, pero de todos modos pienso probarlos una temporada y ver qué tal van con mi estilo.

  1. Loving your new finds, Monica especially the jacket. It looks like a really useful item that you'll wear with a lot of things. I would love a pair of striped jeans but can't find any; however I did find a pair of cropped striped trousers recently.

    Have a great weekend!

  2. I have difficulty finding jeans that fit me, but if I found a striped pair I would definitely wear them. I love the blue and purple combo of the first outfit.

  3. Hurray for non-rainy Autumn days! Your jacket from the street market is gorgeous, and looks like it will be the perfect layering piece until Spring. Such a fabulous skirt as well, and of course I'm loving your purple beret! I have given up on jeans for the time being, but I always found it difficult to find a perfectly fitting pair. Besos xxx

  5. I see you continue to wear bright colour despite the weather! How good at least the rain stops. Love how you combined the first look and I have also nothing against the "new" jeans you wore in the second look. I like especially the fit and don't find them too baggy! Have a very happy Sunday!

  6. I like your new jacket and that long puffer coat - you look so great, even in inclement weather! I love your new jeans - these baggier, widelegged styles are very "in" right now. You are right on trend! I love that you're trying something new! I hope you have had a lovely weekend, Monica!

  8. The new-to-you jacket looks wonderful with the maxi skirt, my favourite colour combination! Your jeans fit so well, you've got such lovely long legs.
    Thank goodness for a day without rain, one day it will happen here! xxx
