Black & Blues

Whatever the reason, I wore a lot of black and blue in my first week at work. Probably I was feeling the urge to change my summery clothes for darker colours, even if autumnal weather was still absent. I've worn sandals almost everyday until the 12th of October, which is a bank holiday (National Day) and it usually marks the start of colder temperatures (and start of wearing a coat). However we've had some summery weather well into October this year!.

No sé porqué razón me he puesto tanto negro y azul en la primera semana de trabajo después de las vacaciones. Supongo que tenía ganas de cambiar la ropa de verano por algo más oscuro, aunque el otoño sigue sin llegar. Me he estado poniendo sandalias casi cada día hasta el 12 de octubre (que además de ser fiesta, suele marcar el comienzo del frío y de la temporada de llevar abrigo). Pero este año hemos tenido tiempo veraniego hasta entrado octubre.
I stored my 'Heatwave Capsule' after coming back from our holidays (not the best idea, as we still had 30ºC). Then I had to unpack a bag of clothes (one in, one out). So the bag labelled as 'Entretiempo' (shoulder season) was brought into my wardrobe, lots of fav clothes included these Massive Trousers I found at a second hand stall last year. They're actually perfect for the 'summery but not so summery' weather and quite versatile, even if I tend to wear them always with black and geometric prints. And they're really comfy!.
Jacket was another second hand find, striped t-shirt by CandA, sneakers by Adidas outlet (old). Usual straw bag shopped years ago at Etsy.


Guardé mi ropa de Verano-OlaDeCalor después de llegar de las vacaciones, aunque no fue muy buena idea porque seguía haciendo 30ªC. Así que tenía que sacar una de las bolsas de ropa almacenadas para hacer sitio, y saqué la bolsa con la etiqueta 'entretiempo' al armario. Mucha ropa que me gusta, incluídos estos pantalones tan enormes y diferentes, que compré de segunda mano el año pasado. Son perfectos para esta época del año del tiempo bueno pero-no-tan-bueno, y son muy versátiles, aunque siempre acabo llevándolos con negro o estampados gráficos. Y además, son comodísimos.
La chaqueta también es de segunda mano, camiseta de rayas del CandA, zapatillas de Adidas outlet. El habitual bolso de paja de Etsy, de hace años.
I wore my linen pants (recently shopped at PuntRoma) for a walk in the evening, with a second hand top and my trusty Chiruca sandals. I'm a huge fan of this kind of sandals and buy them usually at a local outlet-shop, a small business near the market.
Body-cross bag by Fine Cork Portugal. Necklace from a charity market.


Estos pantalones de lino (reciente adquisición, del PuntRoma) me los puse para salir por la tarde, con una camiseta de segunda mano y mis sandalias de Chiruca tan cómodas. Soy muy aficionada a este tipo de sandalia y suelo comprarlas en una tienda outlet pequeña junto al mercado, un negocio local. El bolso cruzado es de Fine Cork Portugal. Collar de una tienda solidaria.
Repeat offender as I am, I had to wear those trousers again. I was not feeling my best, I had a cold and felt tired because of all the coughing etc, so wrapped myself in some comfy clothes and went to work (but kept the distance with coworkers and opened the windows even if I had tested negative for covid). Not so usual that I pick a monochromatic style, but I wore lots of blue, including that massive shirt recently acquired (second hand) and a blue striped t-shirt (?).

Reincidente como es una, tenía que ponerme estos pantalones otra vez. No estaba en mi mejor momento, tenía un catarro tremendo y estaba muy cansada de tanto toser etc, así que me eché encima ropa de lo más cómodo y fuí al trabajo como siempre, aunque mantuve la distancia y la ventana abierta (aunque ya había dado negativo en covid). No suelo ir en estilo monocromático, pero esta vez me puse montones de azul, incluyendo esta camisa enorme que me compré de segunda mano y camiseta de rayas azules también.
The mornings were chillier, so here it came my crochet coat to the rescue. These are some really comfy trousers too, shopped at a local shop when on vacation (two years ago!). Top by Eme. Scarf was charity shopped. Sneakers by Adidas. I was still not feeling my best, but colours and comfy clothes helped to manage it.

Las mañanas son más frías, así que toca recurrir al abrigo de ganchillo. Estos pantalones también son comodísimos, los compré en una tiendecita cuando estaba de vacaciones hace dos años. El top es de Eme. Pañuelo de tienda solidaria. Zapatillas Adidas. Todavía no estaba muy bien, pero los colores y la ropa cómoda siempre ayudan.
I took some crappy mirror-selfies, only to show my 80's vibe outfit, particularly those sleeves. Totally 'Back To The Future' style. Everything came from second hand stalls. Vintage brooch was shopped at a bric-a-brac shop. Sneakers by Adidas outlet, old.

Me tomé unas fotos en el espejo (malísimas) sólo por mostrar este estilo ochentero, sobre todo las mangas. Totalmente de Regreso Al Futuro. Toda la ropa es de segunda mano. El broche vintage lo compré en un puesto de anticuario. Zapatillas de Adidas outlet, antigüitas.
Have a fab week!

  1. I know what you mean about the colours. We had a mini heatwave last week and although it was sundress and sandal weather the colours of my clothes didn't sit right with the quality of the light.
    Love your blue-themed outfits especially the massive trousers with the fitted jacket and stripes, wonderful proportions! xxx

  2. Lots of gorgeous outfits as always, Monica! How wonderful to see those fantastic massive trousers again, which I love in both of the outfits you created with them. Another favourite is the outfit with the blue trousers, printed top and that fabulous crochet coat!
    I'm sorry to hear you weren't feeling your best due to that pesky cold, but glad it wasn't Covid. Colds do seem to be even worse when the weather is warm, in my opinion.
    We've had some gorgeous late Summer weather until last Friday (not 30°C though) but now it seems Autumn has truly set in. Besos xxx

  3. What a lovely combination blue and black is! I loved every single outfit you wore and I really, really like the jacket you wore in the first outfit. The massive pants are brilliant; what a great find! The crochet cardigan is fabulous.

    Hope your cold has gone and I;m glad it wasn't Covid. A fellow volunteer at the food bank had Covid really badly and is still away after 4 weeks...

    We're into proper Autumn weather here - at last!
