I suffer from depression and when I m down I try to cheer myself up by wearing nice clothes. Today I put on this thrifted outfit just to go and get some milk. It felt really good wearing it so it stayed on at home as well.

Went thrifting with my 16 year old today. At the Red Cross charity shop he scored big! A mint condition Corneliani jacket (silk/wool) for $8. New it costs about $800. The people who priced it can t have know that Corneliani make high quality, expensive stuff and priced it as an ordinary jacket.

In Sweden we celebrate Christmas on the 24th and this year I spend it on my own (my choice). Still wanted to get in the mood so tonight I put on something nice and Christmas coloured, lit a fire and my pipe and had a nice and relaxed evening. Waistcoat is Donegal tweed and tie is vintage Valentino.

THANK YOU! A couple of days ago I posted, for the first time, a photo showing off my two piercings. I ve been blown away by the positive response and I m so grateful! My family aren t very impressed by the nose piercing so it feels really good to get positive feed-back from you all.

I m a sucker for everything Irish so when I went to see the Irish film Banshees of Inisherin (great film) I wore what few garments in Donegal tweed I own. The cap is new but the vest is vintage. As is the jacket, but it s Harris tweed. Sorry about the tie not being straight. It s a vintage Kenzo btw

When I was a kid I loved snow but now it s just a nuisance. One of the few positive things with winter weather is that I get the chance to wear nice overcoats like this BOSS in a wool/cashmere fabric (found at a charity shop).

I grew up in the 70s and was forced to wear corduroy as a child. Boy, did I hate it – all I wanted to wear was denim. My feelings have changed and today I ll pick corduroy over denim any day of the week, but usually not almost exclusively corduroy. Today was an exception.

For some reason I seldom feel comfortable in grey and brown but in today’s wool outfit I felt okay.

The outfit I always put on when I go to the local shop. I wear rags at home but put on something nicer (but still casual) when I leave the farm to pop down to the village. At the shop they probably think I only own one tweed jacket and one pair of Levi s. They are so wrong......

I frequently post pics of me in fancy outfits (and I m very grateful that you put up me) but this is how I dress around the homestead. The jacket is vintage Harris tweed that the bushes and brambles have beaten quite badly over the years but it s still wearable.

Today I had to leave home and travel to the big city and that really brought me out of my comfort zone. I therefore put on a mental armour by wearing a nice outfit and my most powerful piercing jewellery. There s magic in those hoops!

Had an appointment with my therapist today. To show that I take our sessions seriously I always put on a nice outfit. Today a vintage wool jacket with slightly newer linen pants and a linen vest (used to be a jacket). The shirt is from Italian shirtmaker Luigi Barrolli (bought at a charity shop).

November is an awful month in the south of Sweden – dark, damp and truly depressing. I tried to cheer myself up with some warm colours in today’s outfit.

Piercing is addictive. Did my nostril and eyebrow last year and despite being very pleased with my simple set-up I keep wondering what more would suit me. Contemplating a flat or a helix but I sleep on my side (toss and turn) so those may be hard to heal.

Repost by order of Mod. My son is finishing 9th grade (a big thing in Sweden) and he wants a suit to wear then. We have been hitting thrift stores in search of something with attitude. I think we found what he was looking for! The hat is mine and a previous thrift find but he will be using it

My daily outfit around the homestead (for mornings and evenings, too warm during the days now). It s vintage in age but not in brand, except for the hat – a Mulberry I ve worn for many years. It was once a trilby, now it s just worn...

I buy my clothes in thrift stores and charity shops. For years I ve been looking for a bright blue linen vest. This week I gave up and “cheated”, i.e. I checked a few sites that sell 2nd hand clothes on-line and actually found one. It s a little too wide and long but I can downsize it.

Me wearing the hat that took me from someone who wants to wear a hat to someone wearing a hat. I saw Robert De Niro wearing a similar hat in “Wag the dog” and thought he was the coolest thing ever. I never managed to be cool like De Niro but he helped me take the plunge into the hat world.

Not enough juice! Calves on the wrong side of the fence! They need a good sharp electrical chock on the snout to properly respect the fences. These gals have somehow avoided that so far.
