This rainy weather and darkness isn’t fun anymore. Like it ever was, but right now I really feel like I need to fight hard against falling into some sort of a winter depression. Fifteen minutes naps could easily turn into hours of sleeping, and canceling plans and calling off meetings seem like a good idea on a dark time like this. But no it’s not. Being aware of this tiredness coma trap helps, and knowing that the fight against it is needed. I’ve listed down some things that keep me going and cheer me up (just eating vitamins or getting good night sleep isn’t always enough), I was wondering if I should make a separate post about them here? I can’t be the only one struggling this time of the year!? Anyway, this is what I was wearing today. Almost left the camera home, because “blah the weather is bad and I’m not feeling photogenic at all and my hair this and that…” But nooo, that’s the stupid tiredness monster talking, I’m not going down without a fight!
Tämä sade ja harmaus ei ole enää hauskaa. Niinkuin ikinä olisi ollutkaan, mutta nyt tuntuu että täytyy vähän extraponnisteluja tehdä kaamosmasennusta vastaan. Vartin päikkärit voisi helposti vierähtää tuntien torkkumiseksi, ja suunnitelmien perumiset saattavat tuntua välillä hyvältä idealta. Mutta ei, ei ole. Pelkkä tiedostaminenkin että kaamosta ja pimeysväsymystä vastaan pitää vähän taistella, auttaa jo itseäni. Oon listannut mua myös konkreettisesti auttavia asioita, voisin ehkä tehdä ihan erillisen postauksen tästä aiheesta? Sanokaa etten ole ainoa joka tähän aikaan vuodesta pimeyttä vastaan kamppailee?! Mutta postauksen pääasiaan, tämän päivän asuun! Mustaa, valkoista, beigeä ja harmaata. Värittömyys ehkä ihan sallittua. Meinasin jo jättää kameran kotiin, koska “blaa ei ole kuvauksellinen olo yhtään ja huono ilma ja kaikki huonosti…”, mutta stop vain niille ajatuksille, se on se kaamosmonsteri joka puhuu. Ja sillehän ei alistuta!

you’re definitely not the only one! many people suffer with feeling sad and down during this time of year, and its okay! at least you’re aware of it and you’re trying to fix it 🙂 i would say don’t cancel as many of your plans, even if u really dont want to leave, force yourself to get ready and hangout with people, it helps! BUT its always okay to stay in and watch movies, haha! 😉 feel better, i’ve been feeling this way too, but it will all pass <3

Sara - Window On My Wardrobe says
Those ongoing grey and rainy days are definitely depressing, I’m glad we haven’t had those yet in Belgium this fall! Doing a post about tips on how to survive them is a great idea!
I’m happy you took your camera with you, because hey this weather is reality and altough you didn’t feel like taking pictures, you still look great! I tried on that exact coat this weekend but it was too big and long for me. Such a shame because it’s just lovely!

Marianna, sweetheart – you look stunning as usual. 🙂 and I’m sure you’re not the only one. To be honest, the weather in Hamburg is actually quite nice. Less rain and more sun, so there’s no place to some kind of winter depressin yet!
But think about the trips coming up! 🙂 this might cheer you up. :* <3

Mulla oli yllättäen jo lokakuussa ihan vetämätön olo enkä saanut mitään aikaiseksi. Mutta nyt kun päästiin marraskuuhun ja sain alottaa joulun odottamisen, ni yhtäkkiä oonkin ollut ihan pirtee! Päivästä ei voi tulla huono jos sen alottaa joululauluilla, Mielen saa harhautettua helposti mukaviin asioihin kun innoissaan pohtii tulevia jouluostoksia ja suunnittelee lahjoja. Askartelukin vie ajatukset pois tylsästä arjesta. Eikä saa unohtaa ihania teehetkiä! Yritä säkin keskittyä jo joulufiilikseen, muistaakseni ootkin jo postaillu aiheesta 😉 Tsemppiä jaksamiseen ja mukavaa joulunodotusta!
marianna says
Kiitos ihanasta kommentista, pelkästään tuon fiilistelyn lukeminenkin sai jo hymyn huulille! 🙂 Totta, joulun odotus tuo tosi paljon valoa tähän pimeyden keskelle. Voii kun päästäisiin jo joulukuuhun niin eiköhän viimeistään sillon oo jo vallannut jouluinto kokonaan. Voi olla että blogikin täyttyy vaan joulujutuista, mutta hyvä että muitakin fiilistelijöitä! ;D Tunnelmallista ja ihanaa joulunodotusta sinnekin!
Suvi says
Hienot asukuvat taas.Ihastuin heti tuohon takkiin, vaikka en eläinkuoseista välitä mutta tuon takin kuosi ei ole niin silmäänpistävä. Ihana takki.

Voi kiitos paljon Suvi!
Jade Bryan says
Although this dark and grey time of year is my favourite time for fashion, I completely agree with you about the slump in my mood. You mentioned taking vitamins and getting a good night sleep, which I make sure to implement into my lifestyle over the fall/winter months. I would also recommend adding more exercise into your lifestyle in these months. You seem to keep fit and I always find that this is the best time of year to keep at it. Hot yoga is an amazing way to improve your mood and keep a positive mental state!
marianna says
Thank you for the comment Jade! You’re right, exercise is a huge mood lifter. Just remembered hot yoga, thanks for reminding, I need to start doing that again. 🙂
Cindy Khor says
Actually, I much prefer rainy days. Maybe its because I’m staying in a tropical country which the rain helps in bringing down the overall temperature. Call me weird, but I do tend to think more clearly (or creative ideas tends to pop up more often) when its raining. Guess that shows how much I love rain wtf
Grey is like the new black I must admit and you wear them good. Shades of grey layered on top of each other seems to be the trend now. Nevertheless, you look pretty cute in this outfit.

I’m glad that you took your camera with you and took those outfit pictures because I really like the outfit.

Hey Marianna,
Have you tried using a bright light therapy lamp? I used to feel the same way in the grey fall & winter here in the Netherlands, but this lamp has made a BIG difference. Highly recommended to everyone!
marianna says
I haven’t, but my dad owns one in our old home and always talks how it helps, I should probably try that! Thanks for the tip Sophie!! 🙂
Sophie says
Definitely try it next time you’re there!! I hope it helps xx

You look so pretty! I really like that coat, looks so comfy!
Also you really inspired me, I have always thought that white jeans have to leave from the wardrobe with summer, but wearing them with high-knee boots is such a great idea, thanks! 🙂

marianna says
I’m so happy to hear that! I used to think that white jeans are a big no-no to wear in wintertime, because it’s a classic summer thing, but then I started to see it as a winter white color, and it’s kind of fresh and remembers about snow! 😀 I think it all began when I saw a lovely all white winter outfit somewhere… Thanks so much Ana! <3

Huh, en siis ole ainoa. Tästä tulossa pian postausta, toivottavasti samalla kuulee muiden vinkkejä!

You’re absolutely not the only one! I am dealing with this too. The only thing that really helps me is to plan my day and not let me have enough time to think about it and becoming said. When I’m at home doing nothing, I turn on some music, watch a movie, bake or cook.
Hope you’re feeling better soon!

Lotta says
Tunnen tuskasi, tää on jotain niin masentavaa kun aamulla töihin mennessä on pimeää, kun pääsee kotiin niin on pimeää. Tulis edes lunta niin olis hiukan valosampaa.
Onneks kaamosmasennusta ainakin mulla helpottaa se, että HETI kun pääsen kotiin laitan kynttilät päälle, kotivaatteet näiden ahistavien työvaatteiden tilalle ja glögi porisemaan kattilaan niin ei masisksesta tietoakaan. 🙂
marianna says
Huhhuh joo, se on paha jos ei valoa ehdi nähdä ollenkaan! Todellakin lunta odotellessa. Mutta totta toikin, kynttilät ja glögi ja pimeyden fiilistely tunnelmallisella tavalla piristää! Kiitos kommentista Lotta 🙂

Carian says
Love this outift! I honestly wasn’t going to wear white jeans in the winter so easily, but after seeing this post it actually looks great. I’m a big fan of neutral colors and I really like this combination of different shades of grey.
And yeah, well.. even though Autumn is a cozy season where we can enjoy the leaves falling down and that we’re allowed to burn candles again, but the grey and cloudy skies can cause moody moods as well. Would love to read your list that keeps you going and cheers you up. I wrote some things down myself too, definitely need to remind myself that life IS beautiful and great and that we should enjoy every single moment.. whether it’s raining or not haha.

Moikka Marianna!
Sulla on todella kiva blogi, kiitos siitä! Oisin halunnut kysäistä sulta tuosta upeasta laukustasi, että onko tämä net-a-porterin laukku juuri sama kuin sinulla;
http://www.net-a-porter.com/product/415376/Saint_Laurent/monogramme-leather-shoulder-bag#
Mielestän tuossa net-a-porterin kuvassa tuo materiaali näyttää erilaiselta (?) Jokseenkin kiiltävältä ja pehmeältä.. Kävin aikaisemmin katsomassa smallia Della Margassa ja siinä oleva materiaali oli mattamusta ja materiaali oli kovaa. Voi toki olla, että kuvaat hämäävät. Kiitos jos jaksat olla avuksi, arvostaisin sitä suuresti, sillä tämän ihanuuden hankinta on ollut listalla jo pienen hetken <3

Gorgeous outfit! Really well put together 😀
