A HAUTE MESS

It's funny with these personal outfit posts, you begin noting just how much you use certain things. In particular this nail polish which has kept my hands perpetually nude for weeks. What can I say, this shade is just so amazingly prodigious. It also becomes disturbingly apparent just how bad ones resting bitch face is. Allegedly that is how I always look, so why the hell has no one pulled me up on it? It's not even the attractive kind either. Geez, how embarrassing. I'm also finding writing for these kind of posts become even more seemingly awkward than my actual poses. I honestly don't know what to write and I don't want to be obvious about it either, like praise the joys of specific sartorial pieces, like my Boohoo coatigan which I purchased some months ago. An item I do not think I'd get much use from at the time, only to see it flourish and remain on high rotation ever since. Even now that our climate is indecently becoming warmer (why Mother Nature? Why?), it's still taking centre stage on most weekends.

 WEARING:  Witchery top, Boohoo sleeveless coatigan, ASOS Ridley jeans, SPURR red suede heels (similar here or here), The Fifth watch (similar), Sportsgirl rose gold bracelet (similar), ASOS pearl ring (similar), Missguided aviators and Rebecca Minkoff MAB medium tote.

  1. Oh geez, I'm like that with my nude polishes! I can't help it though, I work in a conservative office and I just feel weird walking in with neon nails, however trendy and pretty they may be.
    And I don't see resting bitch face here! You look pleasant and perfectly stylish! I love your shirt and the way you layered it under your that crop top!

  6. Love that Boohoo coatigan, Sonia! Such a unique piece. And I have been told I have a RBF as well...but seriously, it's not like we can do anything about it, right? Sigh...

    PS I just want to say thank you as well for that blog comment on my last post. That film was, indeed, hard to watch:(

  7. I've got a particularly terrible resting bitch face myself, Sonia, so I know where you're coming from. Don't even get me started on what to actually write for outfit posts. Gah. Loving the coat nontheless!

  10. haha no, no I like that it's getting warmer! I prefer the heat! :) I've never been able to master layering. Good thing we don't need it most of the year in Queensland!

    Oh and I love the red heels with the neutral outfit, and you already know I love the bag :)

  20. Lol I know what you mean with resting bitch face. I always have that impression although I thought I was making a happy fave :) You look gorgeous Sonia. I really love your cool coatigan. Well I don't mind that it's getting colder here but that it's getting dark at 5pm. That's what bothers me the most. I want sunlight :D Happy Friday!

  54. I feel you girl. For me it's always the makeup. I start feeling like I have the same look in every post. But I think this is a haute look period. Mess doesn't come to mind at all. And how i love your bag and the popping red shoes and oh the white top too. Happy Halloween, do you celebrate it?

  55. Haha I often look mad in pictures even when I try to consciously look happy. I don't like my teeth or smile so I don't do it, I then try to "smize" and look happy with my eyes but I still end up looking mad or sad. But I love what you are wearing, the red shoes are perfection.
