A Week Of Outfits In April 2019

Spring time eco outfits.A week of outfits - borrowed shirt, secondhand skirt

Monday

I walk past my husband’s wardrobe before I get to mine in the morning. It seems to be breeding blue shirts so I picked out this one to wear for a change. A top tip for changing up your clothes is to borrow from family or friends or whoever else you live with. So far he hasn’t borrowed anything of mine yet, except for a sun hat to wear in the garden!

Shirt – Borrowed

Skirt – Oxfam

Boots – Everlane

A week of outfits - secondhand blazer, organic tee and jeansTuesday

It is perfect blazer weather in Berlin at the moment. I’m wearing this secondhand one that I found in a vintage shop in Amsterdam. It’s a little oversized so can be thrown over most clothes. I’m wearing it here with just a t-shirt underneath. It’s an understated look for spring without being too Miami Vice.

Blazer – Betty Jane

T-Shirt – Organic Basics

Jeans – Weekday

Shoes – Dear Frances

Recycled cotton cardigan

Wednesday

If you read my Spring Capsule Wardrobe post you will know already about this dress. It’s my first time wearing it even though I bought it last year. I’ll be honest, it’s not my favourite. I like the style but the fabric is very thin, almost like a strange 70’s material found in a dodgy vintage shop. As the weather gets warmer I might be glad of it so will persevere.

Cardigan – Reformation

Dress – Similar from Reformation 

Shoes – Gucci

A week of outfits - organic coat and leggingsThursday

On Thursday I usually go to a Pilates class around lunchtime and take a long walk back home afterward. The walk goes by a big organic shop which I like to wander around. This means I spend a lot of the day in exercise clothes, however, I’ll probably start bringing clothes to change soon because I nearly melted walking home in this. It’s more of a winter solution!

Coat – Cos

Leggings – Organic Basics

Trainers – Veja

Leather Bag – Sjaelv – Updated Version

Reusable Shopper – Baggu

Secondhand cardigan, organic tee and jeans

Friday

A comfortable outfit, with the organic basics tee again. The cardigan was originally from Boden but I found it on eBay. It’s easier to wear for spring and autumn as the sleeves go just beyond the elbow.

Cardigan – Bought secondhand from eBay

T-Shirt – Organic Basics

Jeans – Weekday

Shoes – Gucci

Outfit from Oxfam

The cardigan and skirt are both from the Oxfam online shop. I really like this skirt for the warmer weather, it’s also quite long so easy to start off with bare legs!

Cardigan – Oxfam

Skirt – Oxfam

Boots – Everlane

Secondhand silk blouse and organic jeans

Sunday

I found this top secondhand on Etsy. It’s versatile as it can be worn both ways and I love the ivory/ cream colour for spring.
