Work it Wednesday!
Suit up this Autumn with a skirt and blazer set from  Topshop (boots from Zara) this blazer set is perfect for work, wear it with a pair of tights and you’ll keep those little legs warm too. I would definitely wear this to an interview or to work to look professional and styling!

7 Days of Style - Russia

I am Anna, the author and creative mind behind the Russian fashion and lifestyle blog Enn Franco Says. The main idea of the blog is to talk with my audience about the things that I see vital for an ordinary person and as for a blogger too: how to promote the blog, work with brands, how to find yourself in this world, as well as showing my tips and tricks about travel destinations and sharing my style with bright and inspiring pictures.
 ennfrancosays.com

My top 3 blogging tips

1) Cross promote your publications as soon as you posted them on the blog. Don't postpone this activity.

2) The visual content plays a very important part. Forget about the Iphone and smartphone pictures, take them only with a camera. I highly recommend Olympus Pen, they are simple in use and have detachable lenses. Also don't forget about the design. The more minimal, the better.

3) Instagram and Facebook are the most important social media to bring traffic. Don't underestimate them.

DAY 1 Manic Monday:
As Mondays are so lazy and we need to be in a hurry to get through all this madness, the best you can wear is something really cozy but yet stylish. Cozy sweater + stylish camel coat + preppy shoes = fantastic choice!

DAY 2 Trendy Tuesday:
The big cardigans for me were the good trend in the last 2015 year. They are really stylish and together with a minimal outfit and details can make a blast!

DAY 3 Work It Wednesday:
All black everything. I just love black and it suits perfectly every occasion. Except for a wedding of course haha But to make your outfit more rock&roll, put on your favourite leather pants and you'll be on the top!

DAY 4 Throwback Thursday:
Oh, this outfit was posted in May 2014 when I decided to make a pin-up/retro style shoot in a popular diner in Moscow. The result: it is still my the most viewed outfit on the blog, and I think of making something new similar like that. Tsss it's a secret :)

DAY 5 Fancy Friday:
This outfit is absolutely versatile! You can wear it entirely to work or university and then have a meet with friends in a bar or a fancy restaurant. Cause black always rules and is suitable for day and night and with a pair of nice blue jeans can make a great contrast. Pair the outfit with high heel boots and voila, you are ready to rock the dance floor without coming back home after work to change clothes.

DAY 6: Swanky Saturday:
I wore this sequines dress in the end of 2015 at the New Year party of one fashion magazine in Moscow and this is the most dressed up outfit I have ever worn! And you know what, I think that sequines and me are made for each other :)

DAY 7: Spontaneous Sunday:
On weekend I try to relax as much as I can. And this comes also to creating outfit if I ned to meet with friends, go to the cinema or a brunch. And I always, always pay attention to total black looks cause they are the most relaxed ones and effortless, cause on weekends I am the most lazy person in the whole world :)

7 Days of Style - Canada

Meet Fashion Blogger Claire Liu from Vancouver, Canada.

Liu started her blog Von Vogue about two and a half years ago in which she chronicles her personal style into posts.  Claire also shares her travel adventures through her high quality photos and inside story into the fashion world.  

Claire has quickly gained a loyal following and has already worked with several esteemed brands and has been featured on many fashion digital and print media platforms, including Teen Vogue Magazine, Who What Wear, and Elle.es. 

Here are Claire's Top 3 tips for newbie bloggers:

#1 Don’t feel afraid to try new things but be yourself
#2 Understand how to market your personal brand
#3 Sometimes it’s okay to reject a project that you don’t feel it  

DAY 1– Manic Monday:

http://www.vonvogue.com/2016/01/twenty-seven.html

To start the first day of a week, I like to put on a comfy sweater and a pair of loose faux leather joggers. By mixing soft and hard materials together, it creates a relaxed yet sharp outfit.

DAY 2 – Trendy Tuesday:

http://www.vonvogue.com/2015/12/aces-of-armor.html

The long structure wool coat from Aces of Armor is an everyday essential piece for the cold season. Its high quality material keeps me warm while my whole look can manage to stay sharp and smart.

DAY 3 –Work It Wednesday:

http://www.vonvogue.com/2015/11/self-consciousness.html

When meeting a client, I like to dress something comfortable yet it still can represent my personal style. It's not necessary to dress like a princess to impress the clients; something easy to make people feel that you are approachable. A pair of skinny faux leather pants always does the work; with a soft sweater to ease off the sharpness.

DAY 4—Throwback Thursday:

http://www.vonvogue.com/2015/05/mint-crop-top-with-open-back.html

One of my favourite #TBT outfits is this mint crop top with a pair of wide pants. The reason that Why I love is simply because the crop top and wide pants are essential pieces for a minimalist; simple  yet timeless.

DAY 5 –Fancy Friday:

http://www.vonvogue.com/2015/11/chura.html

It's always nice to have one or two pairs of fancy pants, like this laced up pants from XXX. Styling the pants with a smart-looking blazer creates an semi-formal work outfit, yet doesn't take away your personal style.

DAY 6: Swanky Saturday:

http://www.vonvogue.com/2015/08/august-chill.html

Although I'm not a really skirt-kind of girl, I like the ideal of a zipped wrap skirt. Unzip the bottom up to above knee high for the optimists; or all the way to the highest thigh point for the venturers. Definitely great for a night out with friends.

DAY 7: Spontaneous Sunday:

http://www.vonvogue.com/2015/12/lamoda.html

Sunday means that you need to have a fun day, including to play around with your ordinary clothing pieces. Take your regular shirt, make it like a off-shoulder top and wrap a belt around your waistline; and you are good to go!

7 Days of Style - Bulgaria

Hello, I’m Martina, 23 years old (soon to be 24) and I’m half Bulgarian, half Italian, currently living in Bulgaria and spending my vacations in Italy. I love fashion, traveling and I share all my experiences, my personal style and shopping tips on the blog. I’m also very active in social media these days and I love sharing different inspirations there every day!

Tips for new bloggers:

1. Choose the style of your blog and stick to it.

You might have noticed that there are different types of fashion blogs. Before starting your own blog or even if you already have one, ask yourself what exactly do you want to show people. Do you want it to be about your personal style, celebrity style, or do you want to write about designers and fashion shows?

You most probably, want to write in your blog about more than one topic, and you can totally do that, but you should always have one “main topic” that dominates and defines your blog’s type. For example in my blog is for my personal style, life, travels and so on, but I’m also writing about other fashion topics that would be interesting to my readers. And I will share 3 times more articles about my personal life than about anything else, because I know that my blog is about my personal style and my readers enjoy this.

2. Strong social media

Facebook and Instagram are the most important social medias for a fashion blogger. Now it’s also Snapchat. You have to not only create accounts there, but also put a lot of work into social media. Invite your friends to like your page. And there is no shame in writing to other bloggers and sending them over your page or offering them to share each others pages. You would be surprised how many of their readers might actually like your page. To keep the attention of your followers in social medias publish at least 3 or 4 pictures a day of yourself, a celebrity whose style you like, or anything fashion connected.

3. Be yourself.

I know that this sounds very banal, but it’s really important. Don’t try to copy other bloggers- no one likes copycats. And most important, do never copy ready articles from somewhere else, if you find something inspirational and want to share it in your blog, always give credit to the original writer- stealing, copy and paste is not what a successful blogger does.

DAY 1– Manic Monday:

We all know that Mondays are very busy, so when I don’t have much time to combine my outfits, I’d wear an all black outfit- you simply can never go wrong. I adore this suede skirt, it’s very comfortable and also very trendy. Over the knee boots are my favorite I can wear them with everything, they complete the outfit. I prefer suede boots, I feel like leather is more suitable for a night out.

http://martasfashiondiary.com/black-suede-zara-skirt/

DAY 2 – Trendy Tuesday:

For me this season one of the best trends are the lace up shoes. I adore them and for my big surprise the ones I’m wearing are also very comfortable. I also decided to combine a sequin skirt with my sweater- a fancy combo I love.

http://martasfashiondiary.com/voguish/

DAY 3 –Work It Wednesday:

I’d chose this outfit for work or interview, because it’s very practical, it’s somehow “elegant” but not too much. The vest and the bag are elegant and suitable for an office. The shoes are fashionable- I’d always love to have something trendy on me. And the jeans are casual and comfortable.

http://martasfashiondiary.com/the-day-after-christmas/

DAY 4—Throwback Thursday:

The pictures we took while we were in Paris, two years ago, are one of my favorites. This outfit wasn’t planned. I’ve always dreamed to take photos in front of the Eiffel Tower and once I finally visited Paris, I didn’t have anything interesting and new to wear. But, while I was shopping there I found this fresh, cute dress and it was the perfect match- I love wearing dresses, especially during Summer.

http://martasfashiondiary.com/parisienne/

DAY 5 –Fancy Friday:

This outfit is perfect for Friday- you can wear it at work and then go straight to a restaurant or a bar. I actually wore this outfit during a day as well as for a nigh out. The sequin skirt is fancy, but not too fancy and I combined it with a simple black t-shirt and black accessories. Well, some might say that the skirt is quite short for work, but I love wearing minis- I don’t work out with hours at the gym for nothing :D

http://martasfashiondiary.com/mini-sequin-skirt/

DAY 6: Swanky Saturday:

I love visiting new clubs and having fun with friends. This bandage dress is super chic and it’s a great choice for a night out. It’s a little bit uncomfortable, like any bandage dress, but you know what they say- if you feel too comfortable in your clothes, you’re not dressed well. Or like Beyonce sang “pretty hurts”, haha. I’d probably not relate to this, if I have to pick an outfit for a walk during the day, but it’s fine to dress up a little on a Saturday night.

http://martasfashiondiary.com/the-two-piece-studded-bandage-dress/

DAY 7: Spontaneous Sunday:

I love all white outfits during winter, especially in the snow. Well, probably won’t go out with those shoes in this weather, I wore them only for the pictures obviously, because of the idea with the red roses. Everything else in this outfit is comfortable and minimalistic. On a Sunday, I’d go for a walk, or go the mall, see a movie and stuff like that, so I’d most likely combine it with flat shoes.

7 Days of Style - United Kingdom

This week's featured blogger comes from the UK. Katarina from Katiquettestyle, shows us how she does her 7 day challenge.  From Manic Mondays - which can be a bit hectic in the morning, to Swanky Saturday and Spontaneous Sunday, Katarina shows us that style doesn't have to be too over the top in order to look put together and chic.

Manic Mondays are still lazy from the weekend for me so I like to dress casually. Oversized clothing is my favourite option for that day!

Trendy Tuesdays are "chicdays", some extra pointy flats are a must! They have been so popular this season.

For Work It Wednesdays I would always choose a pair of jeans and a chic shirt with a killer heels. Toned down for a meeting but still with a great impact.

Throwback Thursday is a throwback to summer. Lace up flats and high waisted shorts is all I needed then!

Fancy Friday evening is date day so a chic coat and heels can make an outfit good from day to night.

Swanky Saturday: Parties are always the best on Saturdays. A little black dress is my wardrobe must for these days.

Spontaneous Sundays are for friends and simple and casual is a good option for that day. Denim vest makes simple more interesting!

3) Be true to yourself and never do something that you don't like just to benefit your blog. 

3. Be true to yourself and never do something that you don't like but it might potentially bring benefit to your blog

DAY 1 – Manic Monday: 
Light, easy & summery - this is how I would prefer to start the week. Perfect look for Monday routines, where you need to stay active, busy and stylish of course. Here all the items are very simple and combined without any effort, therefore super comfy and fit perfectly well as for an active day.

DAY 2 – Trendy Tuesday: 
Hat are on trend every fall season, so I couldn't resist to find a new one for myself this fall. This blue color is so versatile and is different from black, which adds some freshness to your look. This one from Zalando made a perfect fit with my fall wardrobe and fits each and every coat and winter jacket - perfect choice!

DAY 3 –Work It Wednesday: 
I try to never compromise style & comfort, therefore I especially like this look. It's formal in one way (mainly thanks to the overall & blazer combo), but super casual & comfy on the other, making it 'on-point' for a business meeting or even an interview. Although, for an interview I'd choose another clutch and perhaps would wear loafers instead of slippons. Otherwise, this look is versatile and could be worn for many ocassions. 

DAY 4 - Throwback Thursday: 
Here is the look that has been shot very long time ago, so it's a real #TBT. This look is very special to me, since I'm wearing garments from my friend and super talented designer KRASILNIKOVA, and this leather vest is just a mind-blowing piece, since it's done by applying laser techniques and is hand crafted. Every time I wear it, I get many compliments, because it's just impossible not to notice!

DAY 5 – Fancy Friday:
This is one of my favorite looks, since I'm a huge fan of a polka dot & zebra prints. I love it, because with only chanching lace-up sandals up for the stripes hills, this look transforms from casual to the outgoing one. Just put red lipstick on and your restaurant & party look is ready. I also loved how red zebra style clutch made a great accent here.

DAY 6 - Swanky Saturday: 
This chic dress I'd definitely choose for a special ocassion, where I'd need to look fancy and festive. Grey glossy fabric provides chic character, combined with massive jewellry and beautiful heels. I like either ways of upstyling this dress - beige hills & orange chandallier earrings, or blue accents. Both look gorgeous :)

DAY 7 - Spontaneous Sunday: 
The mustard & blue color combo was chosen super spontaneous, since I was running out of time to come up with my Sunday city-walking look. And I just loooove how it ended up, fresh & vivid :) This H&M cropped pullower  is still one of my favorite things in my wardrobe.

7 Days of Style - Finland

My name is Sylvie Mus and I'm a 24 year old fashion blogger and model living in Helsinki, Finland.  My blog is about fashion and my own style. I would describe my style as minimal and versatile. I only wear things that I like and I don't follow trends too much because I think it's better to stand out and have your own look.

MY 3 TIPS FOR FASHION BLOGGERS

1. Stay true to your own style and dont think about being trendy too much.

2. Keep creating original content and dont copy other people.

3. Be patient. Nobody turns into a "super-blogger" over night.

DAY 1 Manic Monday
On Monday's I like to wear something minimal and practical, but it also has to be stylish. I think Blue jeans and a white shirt is such a classic combination that always works.

Day 2 Trendy Tuesday
I love a good 70's inspired look. Especially for fall, I think a skinny scarf is the number one must have accessory! I think it adds something special to the look.

DAY 3 - Work it Wednesday
This is something I would wear to an interview or a PR meeting. I think adding a good blazer can give any outfit a more serious and corporate vibe.

DAY 4 Throwback Thursday
For throwback Thursday I chose this look because It's one of my favorite outfits that I wore in spring.  I love long trench coats and hats!

DAY 5 Fancy Friday
I think this is one of those outfits that you can wear in the day time for work and running errands and then in the night time if you're going out.

DAY 6 Swanky Saturday
This is my favorite kind of party look. I love wearing an androgynous look when I wanna look fancy because it's not too predictable like wearing a dress.

DAY 7 Spontaneous Sunday
This is something I would typically wear on a Sunday for brunch or shopping or if I'm going out for drinks.  It's casual but not too casual so it's good for any occasion.

7 Days of Style - Portugal

Hey! My name is Maria Marques, I'm a 26yrs Portuguese girl who's a museum curator, freelancer artist and fashion blogger. The main focus of my blog is to show, besides my travels and fashion tips, how someone can be stylish and trendy with basics and simple outfits. But always giving that personal and edgy touch to it. Keeping it casual, chic and simple is the way to go!

3 TIPS FOR NEW BLOGGERS

1. Do no copy! Get inspired, take notes but never copy!
2. Know yourself, know your style and taste, and stick to it.
3. Keep it simple!

DAY 1 – MANIC MONDAY
One of my go-to outfits are those outfits that I instantly pick without even thinking. It includes jeans, leather jacket, black tops, flats shoes or sneakers. In this case, sneakers. This an outfit I would wear to do my errands or even to travel! Comfy and chic.

DAY 2 – TRENDY TUESDAY
The shearling coat! I've been mad about it since the cold weather came. And for me it is one of the top trends this F/W season. Super warm, an edgy piece that goes perfect with jeans and black knits. I've combined mine with a black man knit, grey jeans and black loafers.

DAY 3 – WORK IT WEDNESDAY
Since I'm obsessed with basics and man wear, if I had to go to the museum or a job interview I would most definitely wear a grey sweater and jeans. But, to jazz it up a bit, I would add a pair of black heels and a furry collar leather jacket. Simple and classic!

DAY 4 – TBT
I've started blogging in the Summer of 2013. But slowed it along the way and kicked it again in October of 2014. This is an outfit from November of 2014, with one of my favorites back then, the varsity jacket, and my ginger hair!

DAY 5 – FANCY FRIDAY
Another trend of 2015 are the flare jeans. A fancy piece that reborn is style! This outfit could as easily be worn to work (adding the jacquard coat), and to a night out with with just the turtleneck, jeans and adding a small black purse.

DAY 6 – SWANKY SATURDAY
I rarely go out, but when I do I like to play with my silhouette. And what works perfect with it is the always classic black dress and black heels. And I've been loving the midi dresses this year. So, this would be an outfit I would wear to go out dinner with my man.

DAY 7 – SPONTANEOUS SUNDAY
unday are all about staying comfy! And for me there's nothing more comfortable than man knits. I could live in them! This outfit shows my “weekend look” in the best way possible: big knit, black pants and black flats. Perfect for a stroll in the city.

7 Days of Style - Spain

"My name is Paz Halabi Rodriguez. I was born in Chile but when I was 18 years old I moved to Spain. I spend a lot of years between Barcelona and Madrid, so sometimes I feel more Spanish than Chilean hehehe. I studied Fashion Design and Pattern Making in Barcelona, and I have worked for Inditex but nowadays I live in Helsinki due to my husband business. I started my blog because I love fashion and I wanted to show the collections that I will do in a future. I'm a vintage lover, but I follow trends also.  But I always try to give my own perspective to the outfit that I wear, because I think if you don't make it different we are going to look the same. The idea for me at least is to have fun with fashion, forget to be shy and just be yourself!"

DAY 1– Manic Monday: Overzised vintage sweater are so comfy and easy to match with everything, mostly with my skinny jeans and the comfy granny shoes!

DAY 2 – Trendy Tuesday: The return from the seventies is something that I love, because I'm a vintage lover since forever! Patchwork print dresses are so on trend right now, and I just simply love it!

DAY 3 –Work It Wednesday:  Mixing a classic pencil skirt in my fav color, burgundy, it's so easy with this amazing denim bell sleeve blouse!

DAY 4—Throwback Thursday: This pencil skirt with the ethnic touch I made it a while ago, and I really think is super easy to pair with a lot of garments!

DAY 5 –Fancy Friday: This bell sleeve fluid dress in tile color from Zara has many ways to wear it, and you can wear it for day or for a night going out!

DAY 6: Swanky Saturday: Maybe is not the classic "going out" outfit, but I just simply love this flowered pattern dress from Zara. And, at least for me, could work perfect for a Saturday night!

DAY 7: Spontaneous Sunday:  I choose this outfit because it was this past Sunday that I wear it, and was so comfy and cool at the same time! 

7 Days of Style - Germany

Hi, I am Esra, 33, a fashion and lifestyle blogger from Munich, Germany. On www.nachgesternistvormorgen.de I share my personal style, but also all the things that make our lives nicer - delicious recipes, my favorite details from my home but also my thoughts about the life and the society. I love to communicate with my followers and to inspire them! Would be glad if you will stop by!“

DAY 1– Manic Monday: 
Sometimes it must be only a big cozy dress and a cool sunnies!  Nothing else :) No ironing, no thinking about which top works with which bottom - slip the dress on and go!

DAY 2 – Trendy Tuesday: 
I am addicted to blouse dresses. I just can`t get enough of this trend! For this business look I choose a blouse dress from River Island via ASOS and pair it with a flowy trench coat. Silver pointy shoes give it some special touch! In my duty free time I wear these dresses eith a cozy knitted coat or a leather jacket!

DAY 3 –Work It Wednesday: 
Today I wear a complete monochromatic look, which is reputable but still exciting because of the patterned trench coat and a statement clutch. So I can go to a meeting or an interview still staying myself!

DAY 4—Throwback Thursday:
My style is still changing and so does my hair color, haha. This casual look is from 2011! I am still owning this circle scarf (on 2011 they were on trend) because of the nice colors and pattern. The other clothes are gone, but I still could imagine to wear an outfit like this, except of the shoes ;)

DAY 5 –Fancy Friday: 
This look works both for a job and going out. I tried this out while Fashion Week in Berlin. For an after show party I simply changed the shoes and put some jewelry on - because of the leather skirt the look is also cool enough for going out.

DAY 6: Swanky Saturday: 
I love sequins! This dress I wore for a New Year`s Eve party! This one is a perfect party dress! Its cozy because its stretchy, so I can dance without adjusting my dress  any two seconds :)

DAY 7: Spontaneous Sunday: 
Wide clothes are SO cozy, I feel very comfortable but also stylish because of layers. Layering is a trend that I love so much! Wearing this look I can really enjoy my Sunday!

7 Days of Style - Belgium

In a new weekly series, we are going to be highlighting a new up and coming blogger from around the world in our "7 Days of Style" series.  

There are SO many fashion bloggers all over the world now that there really is no shortage of style inspiration. And what better way to be inspired than to see what's going on all over the world.  

That's really where the Global Garbs idea came from in the first place.  

We couldn't help but realize that the world is slowly becoming much more in tune with how others around the world are dressing.  

It used to be that stylists, fashion editors and of course magazines were our only way of seeing what's going on trend wise overall, but now with the internet and the emergence of fashion bloggers, we can easily scroll through Instagram or subscribe to our favorite bloggers to get Outfit of the Day Inspiration from around the world.  

To start the series off we reached out to Salome Malou from Belgium.  Here's a little bio about our fashionista of the week:

"I’m a Belgian fashion obsessed stylist, working in a family business with 5 siblings. We have launched a new clothing brand called Elpidea one year and half ago based on the experience of our parents’ 28 years of work in fashion.  I’ve always been crazy about fashion and I really believe that the way you dress has an impact on your life. As a child, I learned to care about my appearance, not as something vain and superficial but as a way to express who I am, in a beautiful form of art."

My lookbook profile: http://lookbook.nu/user/1429257-Salom-M

DAY 1 - Manic Monday
Mondays can usually be a bit rushed and frazzled from either a long weekend, or just trying to get back into the work week groove.  Everyone needs an outfit they can throw together, so here is Salome's idea of what is both stylish, comfortable and easy to wear. 
"A classy blanket coat thrown over a long sleeved white tee and a pair of well fitted black pants is a look that is both so easy to pull together and comfy.  A few accessories like a statement necklace and a hat just add the sophisticated touch it needs."

DAY 2 – TRENDY TUESDAY
Trendy Tuesday is all about what you feel is going on trend wise for the season. Every season there are definitely some "must have" items, so here's your chance to show off your absolute favorite. 
"I think the A-line skirt is the star of the season. It’s no wonder that we find it everywhere. In a cut that is flattering for many shapes, it surfs on the 90’s trend come back. Although you may find it in many different kinds of fabric (corduroy, thick cotton, etc…) My favorite is the classic suede one (Or a faux-suede is a little more practical as you can wash it!). "

DAY 3 – WORK IT WEDNESDAY
What is your "go-to" item for workwear. Everyone has to have some type of professional yet stylish outfit in their closet even if you're a creative. So what is your go-to work outfit for meetings, business lunches, etc. 
"Here, the combo of prints soft grey wool and lace creates a look that is trendy and unpretentious while staying professional. Sneakers are sometimes a bit controversial for work so depending where you work, you might wish to replace your New Balance with a pair of black slippers."

DAY 4 – THROW BACK THURSDAY
Everyone has that one outfit that you either think, "gosh that was such a super cute outfit", or "man - wtf was I thinking"? Here's your chance to display either of those outfits!
"I wore this look in 2011. I’ve been a great fan of the preppy style. My closet was full of ties and knee high socks at the time!"

DAY 5 – FANCY FRIDAY
Fancy Fridays are all about day to night outfits.  We all have those days where we are stuck at work but definitely want to grab some dinner or drinks with the girls without wearing our "casual friday" outfits.  What's your favorite outfit? 
"I’m literally in love with this red skirt. Velvet always makes colors look very rich. The white beaded shirt and skirt combo in itself is already pretty dressy but totally appropriate for work.  When I go out, I would just add a great pair of silver earrings and let my hair bounce on my shoulders."

DAY 6 – SWANKY SATURDAY
Saturdays are the best for a nice night out and we all could use some outfit inspiration for what you wear for a special occasion. 
"I wore this dress to a party 2 weeks ago. The theme was Egyptian so I found a beautiful pharaon collar necklace to wear over it. In my opinion, you should always wear something very comfortable when going out as the point is to have fun and not to constantly put back in place your strapless dress."

DAY 7 – SPONTANEOUS SUNDAY
Sundays are all about brunches, lunches, or whatever you do on the weekend. It's called Spontaneous Sunday because you never know where the day will take you.  What does a typical Sunday look like for you and what are you most likely wearing. 
"I’m an outdoorsy person so I usually spend most of my Sundays doing some activity outside. A nice sweater over a dress or a pair of jeans is perfect for that.  It’s also important to find a great coat that is neither too dressy for a walk in the country nor too rough for the city."
