WIW - boyfriends with neglected cardigan (+ new winter accessories)

After having only my dark wash bootcuts and black straight legs with me for over two weeks it was great to wear something different for a change. I really like my boyfriends, although I'm the only one wearing them around here. I paired them with my blue cardigan for a change. I think I haven't worn it in weeks, somehow I much prefer my green one lately. I like how it looks here though!

And I love my new hair cut! It still looks great, even after sleeping on it, some combing this morning and walking around for over an hour in drizzling rain earlier.

And a bonus picture of the winter accessories I got from Santa. I only wore the scarf today, it's not that cold outside, just rainy. Unfortunately the fingers of the gloves are too long for my hands, so I will probably have to stay with my other gloves when it gets colder again.

Love the boyfriends! The blue cardi is a goregous color and works well here.

LOVE that last pic Astrid - you make bundling up for winter look so darned chic!

Oh, that beret is just too cute for words! I really don't like the way I look in hats and am jealous of how good you look in yours. I like the cardigan and graphic tee together and think I might try that combination.

Your outfit and your hair look fantastic Astrid!

Astrid

Thanks Kimlee! I love the blue too, I think I might have preferred the dark green recently because it's more of a fall color than the blue, but this works.

Thanks Shannon! I love my new beanie (do you say beanie in English?), it was a present from my mum. The scarf and gloves were from my godmother.

Thanks Sara! Maybe it's just a case of finding the right one? I don't look good in all different kinds either.

Thanks Texstyle!

Such delightfully patterned scarf and gloves! i'm jealous, Astrid. (Though I thought I was the only one who had issues with too-long glove fingers and that was because I'm short!)

Adore the blue cardigan with your hair and shoes. That is a breathtaking combination. And it is such a contrast with the denim too, which I wouldn't have expected. Very easy, cosy combination...

Thanks Manidipa! The pattern is lovely, I agree. I couldn't have picked a better one and I didn't give any tips. I have often issues with the fingers of gloves, I have fairly square hands, with stubby fingers.

So fab! Especially your winter look in #3, love the pattern!

(yes we say beanie in English! although I think of beanies as more stocking cap-like and yours as a beret because it is voluminous and worn i off-center)

Thanks Isis! Also thanks for explaining that. I was a bit unsure what to call it, we say beanie in German. I wouldn't have thought to call it a beret, a beret has more width and less depth in my mind. The pink one below is a beret, I guess.

I can't tell you how much I like the purple cardigan / tee / bf jeans / cognac oxfords! Everything hangs just right, the colors are lively. Just fantastic.

I mean, I wore a tee / cardigan / jeans to the bakery Monday and I quite confess to being dishwater dull and everything being old and pulled out of shape.

Thanks! I can promise you I have enough days where the jeans/tee/cardi combi isn't as cool as today.

I love the winter accessories - so warm and yet so chic!

Caro in Oz

That cardigan with your skin & hair - wow. Love all the layers.

Mona

That is a lovely combination, Astrid. Your new hair style is so chic and pretty. Also, I love the last pic, wonderful scarf and gloves.

Thanks Tricia, Caro and Mona!
