Back in business

Phew, my blog-vacation is over and it feels like fall has officially arrived. Today I turned my beloved walk-in closet upside down while searching for a pair of black 80 denier tights.
I guess I won't be wearing anything else but thick hosiery and fitted blazers during the next couple of months.






blazer: thrifted
dress: Marc by Marc Jacobs (got it from -80% sale!)
bag: thrifted
shoes: Topshop


And another thing - I got myself measured for the first time since I finished upper secondary school and it appears I have been completely unaware of the fact that I have grown 6 centimeters (2.4 inches)! The growing process has taken place somewhere between the age of 19-21, which is totally abnormal for a girl.
I wonder how tall I'll be five years from now (and will I finally be able to reach the toppest shelf of our kichen cabinet)?

Upeat kengät ja ihana asu muutenkin. Haluatko paljastaa, mistä löysit Marcia noin isossa alennuksessa? :)

Itsekin olin lukion ja yliopiston välissä kasvanut 2 senttiä (tai sitten joku oli mitannut huonosti..), mutta se on jo todella ihmeellistä, että joku voi kasvaa 6 senttiä huomaamatta!

Hurraa, olet takaisin! Kylmää on todellakin, en olisi odottanut syksyn saapuvan jo elokuussa. Höh.
Tuo mekko näyttää aivan mahdottoman upealta - haluan ehdottomasti lisää kuvia siitä! Ja ihan Suomestako löytyi noin kaunis mekko mega-alennuksessa?
Voi jos minäkin voisin kasvaa 6 cm!

kirsikka & helen:
Kuvia on varmasti tulossa tulevaisuudessa lisää!
Rekrytoin yhden New Yorkilaisen nettikaverin hakemaan minulle yhden Marc Jacobs-liikkeen superaleista. Tätä samaa saa muuten net-a-porteriltakin -60%:n alesta, mutta jenkeistä toimitettuna tämä tuli halvan dollarin takia ihan pirusti huokemmaksi. :)

Tuo kasvupyrähdys on kyllä ihan käsittämätön. Mutta ihan siistiä itse asiassa olla lyhyen sijaan hieman keskimittaista pidempi.

You are so lucky to have grown! I'm around that age and haven't grown since I was 16. I'm only 5'1"!!

Oh well. I'm used to it by now ;-)

I would LOVE to see pictures of your closet - how does the legendary Ranna store her clothes?

that blazer looks incredible on you! i cant believe you didnt notice that you'd grown two inches! my parents are always pointing out my shortness.

janina said...

Oi mitkä kengät! Olen jo pitkään seurannut blogiasi, mutta jostain syystä kommentoin vasta nyt. Tyylisi on kertakaikkiaan upea! :)

Misha said...

Yay, welcome back!!!!!! You look lovely, and those shoes!

Are you serious? Is it actually possible to grow after you've turned 18?! Amazing. I always wanted to be taller... something tells me though that I have not got any taller at all...

Daiane said...

i'm so glad you're back! love the outfit!

melly said...

How unusual but it doesn't matter, more height is always a pleasure :)

Very lovely pair of shoes!

eimie said...

WJ said...

It's wonderful to see you back, and what a way to be back! Great outfit. The blazer fits you so well and the dress and shoes are absolutely divine. Keep up the lovely work!

deryik said...

when my doctor told me puberty ends around the age 22-23 for women and it's possible to grow taller till that age, i thought it was a legend, but u proved to be the walking example (and hope) for the next generations :)

fall is so far away for me, still around 40+ celsius degrees here. and i really miss some chilly wind.

lady coveted said...

so nice to see you back! ah, i've noticed the weather is getting to be like autumn here in germany too... which is strange b/c back home in san francsico, summer's only beginning (due to some strange meteorological phenomenon i wont' get into)

none the less you look great! wow, and growing... that's awesome.
:)

fröken lila said...

oh, it's so nice to have you back in the blogosphere.. i really missed your posts!

elinda said...

Noi kengät on todella siistit!
Mulla on jäänyt joku aukko ton Topshopin suhteen, kun oon aatellut tilata sieltä, mut nettisivuilla ei mainita mitään Suomeen toimittamisesta...?! Voisko joku valaista miten se homma toimii?

Vintage Darling said...

Alice said...

love this outfit!!! love the shoes and the contrast of the purple/royal blue with your red bag and lipstick!

Sophia said...

Ihan hassua, ettet ole huomannut kasvuasi itse tai että kukaan muukaan ei ole... :) Mietin muuten asiaa, kun katselin joskus jotain bloggareiden yhteiskuvaa (Helsingissä?) ja näytit siinä aika pitkältä. Muistelin kuitenkin, että olit kertonut olevasi lyhyehkö, joten pohdin, että voiko korkkareilla tosiaan olla niin iso vaikutus... :D

beccajanie said...
