Happy New Year, you guys!
Hope you've all had a good start to the year and are excited for whatever 2016 will bring with it. I know I am. Uncharacteristically to myself I'm very much looking at all the positives at the moment. In between applying for jobs, I've also started looking at Master's degrees I could maybe apply for, which is kind of exciting. I'm also looking to possibly downsize my wardrobe. Although you'd never see me with a capsule wardrobe (have you ever seen me?), I'm starting to realise I have far too many pieces I wear once a year or less, which is unnecessary. And I'm at the point in my life when I have clothes that don't fit perfectly the body I have now, so why should I keep them 'for later', no matter how cute their print. (If anyone'd be interested in a depop-style shop, let me know as I've been thinking of it!) And if that's not exciting, I'm also thinking of picking up new/forgotten grandma hobbies now that I have so much time for them, such as knitting, calligraphy, painting and learning more Latin. Such fun, haha! And since it's my first winter in Finland in absolute ages I'm also actually looking forward to winter sports. I've always loved ice skating, but I'm also waiting to go skiing!
Anyway, so far the winter's been quite mild. It's raining and snowing in turns, which is why there's lots of snow on some days and hardly any on others. For example, on the day I wore this outfit; hardly any. But at least it makes dressing up easier since I don't have proper winter shoes! These floral ones were good in England, but when it gets to -10°C and colder my poor toes freeze. I also, obviously wear a coat outside. A half-leather vest isn't quite warm enough any longer, haha!
Catch you later!
