Fits and Outfits

Today I had taken the day off from work to have a day all of my own, while my family was for once out of the house for a brief moment. Despite the wind and the cold I went to Copenhagen to have one of those foot baths with fish - I can recommend that. Then I did some shopping.

When I came home, all 3 things I had bought from trendsales and one more mail order had arrived. So, I am afraid this will look a bit shop-amok

Trendsales buys: Pajama from Victoria's secrets, knitted headband from woman in Tølløse who knits, and Black Lily studded bag which I am going to use as my party bag. The fourth thing is my "Key for change" which costs 263 kr (plus shipping) and supports Engineers without borders to build homes for people in Pakistan after the flood. It is formed like a traditional house key from Pakistan. So, for Engineers without borders I kinda had to buy this...

After the fish foot bath I went to "Prag", a second hand shop in Vesterbrogade, and bought this:

A blazer that fits me perfectly. It doesn't go with all colors, probably not with my nude Rodarte for Target dress, for one thing, but it will solve a lot of semi formal occasion dress crisis. I don't dare to wash it, though, so I am trying to dampen the second hand shop smell out of it by hanging it in the bathroom while showering. A long skirt that also looks too wonderful on me, but I am not quite sure how much I will wear a long skirt. However a perfect fit always seems to move things forward in the favorite queue...

A bag, nice addition to the rather new collection of used middle sized bags. Rather new craving. Knitted hat, was cheap, keep the ears warm...

A wonderful pair of jeans. "Oh no size 28 I need a 29, and these are the only ones I want, I'll try them on anyway, they fit, they are perfect!" A red shirt in the exact tartan colors I have been looking for.

Then I went looking for a metal box for cat food and ended up with these plastic ones from Plint:

I want something bigger but I needed something now, and these will be useful for flour and stuff after I find the perfect cat food container someday.

Next, I went to Bead House, to a couple of shops where I bought nothing, and then to oxideret,dk's physical shop which opened at 3 p.m. There I tried on the now blog famous 5-units jeans but they came nowhere close to the perfect fit of the second hand ones from Prag so I didn't buy any. I did, however, buy something else:

2 bracelets and 2 amber ear rings from Bead house, and an anatomical heart necklace from oxideret.dk.

From the left: Dark blue second hand wool cardigan from All Saints. Already a favorite. Wrist watch from s.Oliver. Bit smaller and more feminine than my baby-g but it does not show the date. How am I going to know the date now? Second hand gold grey cardigan from Zara, perfect for not too formal parties instead of a blazer. Difficult to see because it blends in with the background. Black second hand bag. Lots of room. Lovely used look. Red boho flowered second hand bag from Monsoon. Cannot wait to use this for a book and an extra cardi when spring comes **hint hint nudge nudge**.

My first McQueen scull scarf.

Dress from Simple Wish, second hand. Predicted new summer house favorite, have to wait and see if this holds true.

Ehm, dropped into the second hand shop today and bought 7 things for 170 kr (total).

Also I have bought a set of grey winter accessories:

Mittens from trendsales.dk, snood from H&M also bought on trendsales, and hat from Karavany at Copenhagen Central Station.
