Simple. Monochromatic. COS.
January 16, 2014
Perhaps city life is going to my head, but I think I might be turning into one of those grey- and black-loving urban folk. That color-obsessed girl who was revolting from a decade of an entirely neutral, solid-colored wardrobe for a job at Pottery Barn, has found herself once again being attracted to that simple and chic way of dressing in monochromatic hues after moving to Berlin. It might have something to do with wanting to become one with my grey surroundings, or maybe there's something to city-dwellers propensity to keeping a streamlined wardrobe amidst the bustling life all around them. Calm in the middle of the storm, you might say (not to mention much less closet space).
Whatever the reason, I must admit to falling deeply, madly in love with COS. I'd only ever ventured into one of its shops once before and since I wasn't immediately drawn to anything, I kind of forgot about it. But after spending some more time perusing the racks and trying things on here at the shops in Berlin, I couldn't fight its undeniable, urban appeal. The pieces are modern, simple and colors like grey and black account for most of the store. I've already managed to snag that wide roll-neck top and gold oval earrings, but I'm sure I will be back soon enough to further citify my wardrobe.

COS is most definitely one of my favorite line of shops -- I only have a few pieces from COS (a green and pink top, and a gorgeous, red dress) but I love browsing the stores and absorbing inspiration along the way. Have fun shopping!
ReplyDeleteThanks Mandi! I always do! Next time you're in Berlin, perhaps we'll have to do a little retail therapy. ;)
DeleteI liked what I saw when I wandered into COS, too. I didn't have time to try anything on but I was a little worried about the cuts not working with me being all short and curvy.
ReplyDeleteWell I'm tall and curvy, which is no easier, let me tell you. That said, the few bottoms I have tried on there were not the best for my extremely hippy figure. On the plus side, the over-sized and a-line tops were great!
DeleteI love the look and feel of COS stores but unfortunately don´t fit into their clothes...well, maybe better for my wallet :-) PS: The short hair looks great on you!
ReplyDeleteUgh, that's the worst. I have the same problem with most of the stuff at Zara. And thanks on the hair! I'm loving the change.
