outfit inspirations from my own capsule wardrobe; what I wear on a daily basis
The beauty of a simple capsule wardrobe in action. No thinking about outfits, no searching for matching unique pieces of clothing.
Just go with your gut feeling, pull the first thing out of your closet and keep on pulling till you are fully dressed. Each and every item will go nicely with all the other ones.
Enjoy the day!
After having plus 30° Celsius in the beginning of the week, we are now back to below 10°, which feels colder than it actually is, since the drop in temperature is pretty massive.
Decided to go with a cashmere troyer over a black shirt today, since the additional wool layer not only comes in handy while sitting in the office all day, it also prevents you from sweating to easily, while taking the dog for a hourlong midday walk. Wore the same chino with it, I nearly wore all week. If you don’t sweat massively, you can get 3-5 wears out of a good cotton chino before needing to wash it. Less washing, less aging. Shout out to Massimo Dutti here, I have had those chinos for 2 years now and put them in the dryer every time after washing, the didn’t lose any size, shape or color and seem to be massively durable. In their mid season sales, you can get those chinos for less than 20€, which is an outstanding deal for this kind of quality.
Enjoy your day, don’t take life too seriously, since you won’t make it out alive & have some fun while dressing well.
Grey suit, blue/white striped shirt, navy tie and light brown accessories. Perfectly dressed for any workplace, destined to catch some funny looks from the colleagues showing up in cycling/ functional clothes made from shredded plastic bottles and Birkenstocks.
To stand out has some pros and cons to it, but if you own your style and have some good story on your why for dressing well the pros outweigh the negative aspects.
Keep it fun & don‘t take other people’s opinions to seriously!
Busy day in the home office, my brain is complete fried after 11 teams meetings. So much for species-appropriate husbandry.
Unfortunately not everyone is the master of his own time, to let some room for white space in the calendar. If you are trading your lifetime for money like I am, sometimes health will have to take a backseat in order to stay employed.
Have a great one!
Oh what a day, 9.5 hrs of work, 7 of those in teams meetings, the first 4 onsite, shouting into my Notebook mic, since I was dumb enough to leave my headphones at home.
My brain is completely fried after talking for the better part of the workday.
Now it‘s time to correct homework and learn mathematics with my older daughter.
If everything runs smoothly for the next two hours and I got some brainpower left, I‘ll try to get a workout in.
Tomorrow will be mostly the same chaos and task overloaded day, but without the commute to the office to have videocalls on videocalls and all the other benefits, from bad coffee to open room offices with people shouting into their respective mics and bad food options for noon, that deteriorate your body like work deteriorates your mind.
Don’t take work too seriously! Nobody will thank you for it, except with more work maybe.
