Yes, I know. Maybe I do need new shoes. It’s just that I still like these so much (+ they’re comfy and go with everything). And isn’t that what ‘normal’ people do? Buy something and wear it over and over again, sometimes even until it starts falling apart… I think the fashion industry is going in that direction anyway. I mean, designers and fashion houses are focusing more and more on creating collections that will last longer than just (or not even a whole) season and I think that really is a good thing. Who wants to spend over 1.000 euros on a bag when you won’t be able to wear it next season ’cause it’s too trend sensitive? Not me! Same goes for a pair of pretty affordable Zara pumps in my opinion.
My blog has never been about consumerism and it never will be. I know I failed at the 5 Piece French Wardrobe thingy I tried for a couple of months, but that doesn’t mean I buy new stuff every single week and I don’t really want to. I think it’s fun to always have things to crave for and to have to mix and match with the things I do own until I get sick and tired of them, put ‘em away for a while and then mix and match ‘em again. I love the fact that when people that know my blog open the doors of my closet and are surprised by the small amount of clothing I actually own.

What a lovely outfit.
Uber chic outfit, love the mixture of summery white jeans and winter coat xoxo
Like the strong simplicity of this outfit. You look amazing!

so simple and chic! cool like always ;)

i agree because it is unrealistic for most people in this world to be able to afford new expensive things every season and I know for myself that if I love something I don’t care if I wear it for three years. and also I love your outfit, this blog has always been one of my favorites!!!!

Love the camel coat!

This is one of the reasons I love your blog so much, you mix and match and wear clothes,shoes,etc. More than once, I see other bloggers shop a lot and then just show once and never again, it feels vey “unnatural” as they commented earlier. And I just like you wear ’till I get tired my clothes and shoes. it is very interesting reading this post because sometimes I feel concerned as fashion being vain and full of consumerism. Yes I am so INLOVE with fashion and it is my passion, but I don’t know why is this little thought at the back of my mind sometimes, but I will never imagine myself doing something else than fashion in the near future.
You look always perfect! I love the belt!
I absolutely adore your blog and have become quite obsessed with it – reading daily. Keep up the amazing posts. Xo.

A little bit to simple, again. But i really love that belt!

Prachtige outfit en weer heel mooi gecombineerd ook. En het “5 piece french warcdrobe” gebeuren is ook niet voor mij weg gelegd :P

Hey Sabrina, to be honest, I was also thinking when you started it off that you have been wearing those shoes a lot!!! Don’t take offense to that because on one hand, I think its great to have favorite items and wear them over and over but on the other hand, I think when someone decides to start a blog about their outfits, some variety is interesting, specially considering you do own a few great pairs so the repetition of this pair has probably gotten the best of some of your readers! I guess these are your classic ones and they are pretty, I just never got into the hype of them last year and well one year later, my mind hasn’t changed. Anyway, I really find this outfit simply perfect! Always love it when you add some color or white (like in this case) to change from your black/grey outfits. I guess I am all about variety, it is after all the spice to life!
lovely combination! so chic & elegant! x

Hi Sabrina, I love your style! You know, it’s great seeing you match these heels to so many outfits – it really highlights their versatility. Actually, I learned from you and recently bought a similar pair of heels, which I just love. They give a new look to my whole wardrobe! I haven’t really worn high heels in the past, due to the comfort issue. In your experience, are any brands consistently more comfortable than others? Keep up the great posts!
refreshing simple look! love it!

En je hebt helemaal gelijk, ik deel deze mening wat betreft hetgeen wat je hebt geschreven.

love this outfit! the coat is fabulous!
http://glassandglitter.blogspot.com/
I feel the same way.
Btw that coat is a really good investment, no matter what it cost you. You wear it great!
Echt een hele leuke outfit en de jas staat je erg mooi, leuk kleurtje ook! http://www.fashiable.nl
Ik ben het helemaal met je eens en vind het daarom ook leuk om kledingstukken vaker terug te zien op je blog! :) xx.
I love your coat!!You really like gorgeous!!!

Ik ben het helemaal eens met wat je schrijft. En ik ben je schoenen nog niet zat hoor, ik vind het juist leuk om te zien hoe je ze elke keer weer anders combineert!
Beautiful Look!!! Love it

I love your outfit!!! I too wear my favorite shoes all the time.
Ik lees je blog altijd met veel plezier, het is een bron van inspiratie voor mij en vele anderen denk ik. Je kledingsmaak komt overeen met de mijne en het is leuk om te zien welke combinaties je maakt. Ik krijg bij jouw blog altijd hetzelfde gevoel dat ik ook krijg als ik door Parijs loop; zin in kleding, zin om het beste uit mezelf te halen door middel van mijn kleren en stijl. Dat het daarbij niet altijd om veel geld gaat maar om eigen stijl en invulling is iets dat je heel goed overbrengt. Succes en ga zo door!
Groetjes,
Printemps
This is such a classic look! Your pairing of the chambray shirt with the long coat is just so ultra chic.

I completely agree. I do buy too much, but only because I like the items – not to keep up with the current trends. You know what they say: fashion can be bought, but style one must possess.

Couldn’t agree more with you!!!Consumerism has swept all over and to be stylish doesn’t mean you have to follow each newcoming trend!

love your outfit !!

Love, love, love this look… very chic!

Hi
i think style isnt something you can buy every season. Its how you mange your own clothes and try to built new outfits.To create a different look with them is like playing Lego with clothes ^^ Sorry but I´m very curious how your wardrobe looks. Can we please have a closet tour? Just if you want to of course :)
xoxo
Kat
@kat: I might show you when it’s ready, I’m still in the middle of the moving in with the boyfriend process, we still have to get tons of things to style the house a bit. X
I’m so happy to read your saying that as I also wear something several times cause I like it and sometimes don’t even care if it is a trend or not as long as u like it great post sweetie.
Dear, I am hosting GoodGoodschina giveaway currently, where you can win $80 worth of dresses and accessories …Would mean a lot to me if you enter preppyfashionist.blogspot.com/2012/03/goodgoodschina-white-day-giveaway-on-my.html#comment-form
That’s exactly what creative is about my lovely Sabrina!! I totally agree that in this way you show character and pure inspired style. You can mix and match the existing elements of your closet with few new acquisitions and in this way come up with exceptional and unique looks that represent you and indicate your personality!! Love that about you and it’s really refreshing and sober to know that such a succesfull blogger and journalist as you, is so free from fashion restrictions and consumerism!! Kudos!!
Btw, your ensemble today is perfect. Love the camel coat it really gives an aristocratic flair to your outfit while at the same time you maintain your trademark minimal chic touch!
So funny, because in my opinion you do focus a lot on buying new things. When Elin Kling or other big bloggers wear something, it is almost a sure thing that you will buy it or have it a little while after. And also, ‘normal people’ as you call us, do wear things untill they fall apart so i dont think you need new shoes..
I really love your blog and your outfits but this post seems to be a bit arrogant.
Love the coat though!
@kris: I appreciate your criticism, but I don’t think you completely understand what I was saying. I refer to myself as ‘normal’ and yes I have bought things after seeing it on other bloggers, just like any other blogger or reader does, and just like I see other bloggers do after I wear it. I don’t think I focus on buying new things, maybe I focus on craving for things, since I do post a lot of wishes on my blog/twitter/facebook, but last time I bought something was during New York Fashion Week and that was just one single thing.
I wasn’t meaning to be arrogant in any kind of way with this post, I was actually answering a question from a reader that told me she was sick of seeing these shoes and wanted to see something new.
love your outfit! I really like the fact that you show us, that you like to wear things more often. I think a person who does something with fashion, has so show, that one can mix and match and make new outfit with old clothes every day. I don’t really like those bloggers who wear their new purchases only once for a photo and then never again! this is so unnatural. No one should ever do something like that, it’s just a waste of money for one simple photo.

Mooi! Vooral je jas.

You are right. And your outfit is simple, yet chic. I think those are the keys to your style.
Ik ben zo blij dat je dat zegt! Want ik heb bij veel ‘grote’ bloggers het gevoel dat ze alleen maar kleren kopen voor hun blog, het vervolgens maar één keer dragen en dan weer verkopen of gewoon teruggeven aan de designer of winkel in kwestie. Dat vind ik echt fout, zo zit de wereld niet in elkaar, zeker niet nu we in een crisis zitten. Mensen kopen inderdaad kleren met het oog op kwaliteit en lange draagbaarheid. Long story short: Blijf die schoenen nog zo lang dragen als je wil! Het maakt je blog alleen maar menselijker en dat is goed! :)
You are absolutely right and this is one of the things why I love your blog so much. You’re amazing and you are my greatest inspiration. Kisses, Tereza
Prachtige outfit, de kleuren passen perfect bij elkaar.
I love borrowing stuff from my boyfriend when I am out of inspiration with my own clothes. Maybe you could make a post about all the basics you REALLY need in your closet and interesting ways to combine them.
Anyway, keep up the good work :D
Geweldige outfit, ik ben het helemaal met je tekst eens, ik vind het juist leuk om bepaalde kledingstukken vaker zien terug te komen, maar dan anders dan de andere keren. Dat inspireert denk ik meer dan altijd nieuwe kleren, want dat is voor de normale mens denk ik ook niet te betalen! Good job!
yeah, I know what you mean… I don’t feel like there is a ‘you can’t wear this more than once’ rule! and when I find something that works for me I just wear it over and over again
http://brandnewbyanna.blogspot.com
I love your fashion philosophy – it’s exactly what I needed to hear after feeling depressed that I can’t afford all the things I want – why not just look at what can be reused from my own wardrobe!? :) Love your style – it’s simple, and yet very chic and always very fashionable! Keep up the great work :) B x
Yes, that’s why we like you Sabrina! Because you still think like ‘normal’ people and it shows in the way you dress. Some other bloggers look like they just wear whatever is new and finally they all look alike.
I like it (may be without that coat) :) This kind of simple looks fits you very well because of your beautiful face (which I am mostly focused on) :)
Your coat and that shirt are wonderful together!
http://ficklesense.blogspot.com.au/
De schoenen zijn inderdaad erg leuk! Zie ze op veel blogs voorbij komen maar ze blijven lovely!
That’s what we like about following your blog : your way of mixing simple items, providing they are key pieces (even from past collections) and making the whole outfit function !
Thanks a lot for the daily inspiration !
Great writing! And I think you’re so right! Even though sometimes it is so difficult to resist buying! So if you buy many things, then it should be at least stuff that is wearable for a longer period of time. Good thinking!
I really like this look. Especially the coat you’re wearing. The coat definitely adds something to this whole outfit look!

Prachtige outfit !! Ik vind je jas echt geweldig
love your shirt and shoes !!!!
