Festive Lockdown? Cosy, comfy, glam Christmas and New Year outfit ideas! We may be on Lockdown but we can certainly add a little sparkle every day – in our outfit or hair and makeup. Bring on the festive spirit! I use the Dressing Your Truth system for my capsule wardrobe (energy type 1).
If you’re looking for a capsule wardrobe system, I can thoroughly recommend the Dressing Your Truth system (there is a free course on the website). Your best colours and styles are determined by your facial features/inner energy (my primary energy type is 1 with a secondary energy of 4). It has been lifechanging for me and makes getting dressed so easy! (I’ve made several YouTube videos about my wardrobe, see below.) I use the Flylady system to keep me organised and my daily routine includes choosing my outfit a day in advance (I check my diary/weather forecast to see what’s ahead). I hang my outfit on a hook on the back of our bedroom door and am ready to go the moment my feet hit the floor the next morning. I love having a morning routine which sets me up for a good day!
Happy Friday! A quick check-in from dark, wet and windy Copenhagen with some recent outfits and seaswim photos!
And in skinnydipping-seaswimming news, the sea temp is currently 9c/48f, air temperature has been lower (today was around 4c/39f)…

Let’s chat across the kitchen table! Grab a load of laundry to fold or clear out an office drawer! Today I’m talking about our Danish “clocks go back” tradition, our new Lockdown Restrictions and speaking at the Dressing Your Truth Weekend!

Happy Sunday! Schools were closed this week for the autumn break so it’s been rather quiet in these parts. Had some lovely sea swims with my Besties (start of the week was mild and sunny, by midweek it was blowing a gale and we needed our fluffy socks) and the sea temperature is now 10c/50f. And hubby and I spent a couple of wonderful days at our Swedish cabin. All in all a great week!

Get ready for more zero waste fashion! Another successful Clothes Swap Party here in Copenhagen…and I have so many wonderful new items for my Dressing Your Truth type 1 wardrobe, woo hoo!
Happy Sunday! More mixed weather for us this past week in Copenhagen. From cool to hot, cold misty and foggy, torrential rain with cloudbursts and then back to summertime temperatures today! Certainly keeps it interesting… I’ve had fun this week making some new outfit combinations from my wardrobe – always good to do something a little out of your comfort zone!

Happy Sunday! Crazy weather this week here in wonderful Copenhagen…started off with a mini heatwave where I was able to wear my summer dresses and sandals. Then autumn came back full force mid-week and I needed my gloves, earmuffs, warm coat and wooly scarf for biking down to the sea for my morning skinny dips! The sea temp is currently 15c/59f. Come on in, it’s refreshing (remember to pack a yummy picnic breakfast)!

Happy Sunday! I’m not quite sure where this past week went – it seemed to pass in a flash – but autumn is very definitely in the air and I’ve looked out my gloves/earmuffs for biking down to the sea for my morning skinny dips! The sea temp is currently 16c/60f, air temp has been lower ⚓ (When I was a Girl Guide in Scotland our motto was “be prepared”, something to live by!) Let’s see those outfits!
Love classic white jackets!
Green and white stripes

Happy Saturday! What an absolutely fantastic week it has been – I was finally able to be together with my dear old Mum in Edinburgh, Scotland! As many of you know, I haven’t seen Mum (or my dear big brother and sweetest sister-in-law) since December 2019 due to the Lockdown travel restrictions around the world. There was a flight this week from Copenhagen so I jumped at the chance to fly over (thanks to my daily routines I could book and pack at a moment’s notice without any stress) and it was so wonderful to “see” my Mum in the flesh. Mum is 85 years old (she turned 85 in May this year) and always wears her nice clothes (unless she’s out gardening, of course), a piece of jewelry, a skoosh of perfume, etc. (I cut a couple of inches off her hair for her just before I took this photo of us because she’s been unable to get to the hairdressers and she felt her hair was dragging down her energy.) Doesn’t she look terrific, despite being confined to her house for six months?
We were able to do a spot of shopping in the city, lots of walking and had some lovely meals. Tapas with wine, haggis in a gastro pub. A takeaway from our local chip shop, washed down with a bottle of champagne which I had sent Mum for her birthday, and which she wanted to drink with me when we were finally reunited! But best of all was just being able to sit together in the evening, watching TV and chatting.
Mum has always loved being out and about – she was delighted to revisit old haunts!
Plus drinking a gin or two (Mum’s favourite tipple)! Every day is the special occasion – make sure enjoy it to the full!! 💖
But on with the outfits!
Pink and white shirt dress (with jeans to keep me warm – autumn weather is here)
Green was my Granny’s favourite colour
I love the pop of colour from adding a scarf
Lovehearts!

Happy Sunday! We had a very mixed week weatherwise here in Copenhagen…from torrential rain to baking sun. So, all in all, our typical Danish summer! And how do we usually cope? By layering and making sure that we always carry our waterproofs or an umbrella. You know what we say here, there is no such thing as bad weather, only inappropriate clothing… Here come this week’s outfits and bathing photos…
This flower/hummingbird blouse was a Clothes Swap item from my Bestie, Vibeke (she was delighted to get some some jewelry I had decluttered)
One of my beloved white (machine washable) jackets…a real wardrobe staple!
My Granny loved this colour of green – a great cheery colour on a gloomy day!
My mint jeans are from a Swedish charity shop…a nice change from my standard blue or white jeans
Lunch in Copenhagen (just after the rain stopped) with my friend, Anne-Marie!
Pink and pearls!
Evening walk/run picnic with my ladies group
Short run today, Sunday
Make sure to get your daily exercise!

Happy Sunday from the south-coast of Sweden where we are spending the weekend at our cabin! It’s lovely to have a couple of days in the slow lane, taking a dip in the sea before breakfast, enjoying reading our books and enjoying the company of our neighbours’ cat (who “adopted” us when we bought the cabin eight years ago). Life is good!
We’re spending the weekend at our Swedish cabin!
Last week’s Danish heatwave continued into this week, as you will see from my OOTDs this week, but we finally got some much needed rain on Wednesday and Thursday. Phew!
Great weather for ducks!

Well, I can sum up this week’s Danish weather in one word. Hot! The heatwave continues here in Copenhagen and I have been pulling out all the stops and wearing the kind of outfits I’d usually wear while on holiday on the French Riviera or on a Greek island. It feels like we are on vacation! Today was a stifling 32c/89f. We don’t have airconditioning so are keeping cool with cold drinks, fans and (one of my favourite tricks which I learned from my Basque friend, Joxerramon) sleeping under a wet towel! Certainly makes for a restful night. Anyway, on with this weeks OOTDs!
A very old favourite…red “fit and flare” dress (I bought it secondhand)
