i drink too much coffee

06-27-2011
A.P.C. plaid shirt, thrift camel cardigan, Gap jeggings, A.P.C. loafers, Ray Ban wayfarers

Sometimes I worry that people will think I'm too boring. I mean, I always make a joke about being predictable but there are so many bloggers out there with their cute fancy ensembles yet I'm here posting a shirt, cardigan, and jeans... how boring! Well in any case, I wore this just to get coffee so any effort that I would have made to look decent would have gone to waste since I wasn't planning on going anywhere. But you know what? I'm okay with looking like this 70% of the time and sharing it even if it is boring. I hope you guys are too.

By the way, I still think this is relevant.

In other news, I'm working on a summer playlist right now. So far I have 17 songs but I'm still trying to work out the order. Many of them have already been featured here, thanks to everyone who actually takes the time to listen to the songs that I post!

Actually, I love seeing casual outfits on bloggers. They're not only easy to replicate (teehee), but they make me realize that even the simplest of outfits can look very lovely when worn with confidence and a smile :)

Music posts are the best, I personally prefer fashion blogs with music posts as oppose to blogs without them, SO KEEP THE MUSIC COMING :)

As for your outfits, simplicity is key. I really like your style.

I love this outfit so much! It's amazing and effortless. :) I drink way too much coffee lately because I'm waking up really early. I drink about 6 cups a day. :P

Nicole said...

You're not boring at all!
And btw, you're new hair color looks great!

Gela said...

you are not boring at all! i actually get tired of looking at other bloggers sometimes since they tend to look alike in their short skirts & heels & tribal prints & feathers, but i never get tired of you. <3 i love that you wear the basics. your style is very lasting, wearable, & relatable!

A couple of days ago I went rambling on about your beautiful clean aesthetic. My favourite fashion bloggers all have a style that suits them to a tee. In short, your outfits are perfect and interesting.

Ale. said...

I think it's great that you show looks that are actually more "wearable" and can inspire us!

Color Me Blue said...

I'm sure everyone has said this it's not boring at all! I feel the same about mynblog sometimes but I like blogs that are realistic about style. We can't always strut around in heels and dramatic skirts or what not. I love the look!

Also I LOVE your hair color! Is it natural? If not tell me where u got it!

Your outfits are always so interesting. While it may seem simple there are little quirks that are so interesting to look at. P.S. Love those pink trousers in the last post!

I like the expression you because it looks natural so impressed sweet

Nomadic D. said...

I agree with everyone else here. I don't think it's boring at all. For most of us our reality is not one in which we walk around in prada and balenciaga or even crazy over the top diy outfits. Our reality is, as you say, running out to get a cup of coffee. And I think it's a great look! Course, in Madrid it's 100 degrees right now, so it did sort of make me break into a sweat just looking at you with those layers on!

Mariangela said...

You and your blog aren't boring at all! It reflects your simple style and i like it in this way... I don't like bloggers who buy every day superexpensiveclothes that i can't even afford...I rather prefer your tee-cardigan-jeans posts! :P

Nice bag! :P
I'd like to listen your summer playlist! :)))

I don't think it's boring at all--simple chic is more like it. And you always have the best brands and shoes--APC, Rachel Comey and then mixed w/thrift. Such a refreshing change from the rest, in my humble one.

Michelle / Daisybutter said...

You look so lovely here Annabel, I'll be forever jealous of your hair and the way you pull off jeans and a shirt so so well. There's nothing wrong with 'looking more casual', if that's your style and it fits your lifestyle! xx

Nana MoonDancer said...

I really like your top.
and yes...coffe is too good not to drink it.

I love your casual looks, I find them so much more inspirational and accessible than some bloggers OTT ensembles. Yours are so much more real. I love the camel with the red of the shirt too and your hair looks so good! x

to be honest, i much prefer yr "boring" approach to a lot of the try hard "high fashion" outfits that a lot of other bloggers post. this is how people drss. it's real. and it's you. and that's what's so refreshing about yr blog.

This outfit is so cute. i love it!

Anonymous said...

I actually like your style just because it is so simple. If anything you've showed me that simple isn't necessarily boring.
I find this a lot more inspiring than the girls in their 'cute fancy ensembles' because I always think "these girls can't possibly go to school or work everyday dressed like this and walk around in 10-inch heels all day, can they?"

Kristin W said...

I love this casual, chic look! I'm definitely using it as inspiration :)

Yesterday, I saw this outfit on a tumblr blog I follow and then I pinned it on Pinterest. And then today, I came across your blog through Bloglovin and immediately had to follow you! You have such fabulous style!

Jessica said...

I don't think you're remotely boring at all! I like a blogger who is real and will show off casual looks when they're not all dolled up everyday (unless that's who they are of course). I've been in a coffee crave myself. I don't drink it too often, but I'm wanting some so bad lol. xoxo
