(Outfit Diary) Bienheureuse


 Jacket - H&M  /  Scarf - Romwe  /  Jeans - Mavi  /  Shoes - Repetto  /  Bag - Les Composantes






Around four o'clock yesterday, I found myself at my desk, looking out my window at the sunny day... And I suddenly found myself thinking just how lucky I am. I admit, last year ended in a difficult way. It forced me to make the decision that this year, I would stop waiting for my dreams to make themselves come true. Armed with a desire to do what I wanted with my life, not just what I should, and with a new motto - just say oui - I faced my reality head on. And I changed it. Life is wonderful sometimes; wonderful and full of possibilities.

Don't forget to enter my Trend Trunk giveaway!

Vers quatorze heures hier, je me suis trouvé au bureau, regardant le jour ensoleillé par la fenêtre… et je réfléchissais, tout d’un coup, à combien je suis bienheureuse. J’avoue, l’année passée est terminé de façon assez difficile. J’ai pris la décision que cette année, je n’attendrais plus que mes rêves se concrétise par eux-mêmes. Muni d’un désir de faire ce que je voulais, non-seulement ce que je devais dans la vie, et d’une nouvelle devise – just say oui – j’ai fait face à ma réalité. Et je l’ai changé. C’est belle des fois, la vie ; belle et pleine de possibilités.

 N'oubliez pas de participer à mon concours Trend Trunk !

  12. This outfit is getting me super pumped for fall... which is mighty ludicrous to say as it is only Aug 1st! My absolute favourite are the repetto patent loafers that sort of look like old timey mens slippers. AMAZING.

  15. Great look! I would wear something like this every day, feet permitting haha. I have a scarf just like that leopard one and I can't wait to start wearing it again.

    I had a rough year last year, too. Isn't the best feeling when you realized your "sunny side" has come out of the clouds again? Here's to brighter days ahead!

  23. Cee, this outfit is so nice! I like the chic & clean silhoutte and the (French, of course) accessories are my favourite parts! Repetto is always a great choice when it comes to flat shoes and, as you know, I immediately spotted Les Composantes bag: the design and shade are perfect!

  28. Noooo, put your fall clothes away and bring back the summer ones!! The entire blog world seems to be eagerly anticipating fall, while today Ottawa's humidex is going to hit 45 and the turn of the season seems centuries away. Regardless, I love this masculine-meets-feminine outfit. I really like your military-style jacket and oxfords, and the effortless way you mixed colours and textures. Lovely!

  29. I love this whole outfit, especially the jacket and bag. You're exactly right - it's so easy to fall into the trap of waiting for our wishes to come true. To take the leap and just for it takes courage and commitment. Good for you for having both to be able to make your wishes and dreams come true!

  30. Ah Cee we all need a bit of your philosophy 'just say oui'! I think it has been part of my own evolution as a person too, letting new ideas and experiences in without fear.

    Now this is just the sort of bag I love. Simple design, great structure and big enough to carry me stuff in (I always have far too much 'stuff'). I adore the photo of you jumping on the steps too, Cee!
