Floral madness

It's almost unbelievable if you consider the fact I used to don't like a lot of patterns at all, but recently I love the combination of two different prints in one look - especially when flowers are involved. I chose a combination of two different floral prints in pastel colors for today, and I mixed these sweet and soft shades with black items. Anyway, I couldn't avoid the black jacket if I wanted, because it's so cold again. I literally sprinted to my winter coat after we made this pictures. Spring, where are you my precious friend????

Trendy meets preppy

While I was extremely hurried, I grabbed some of my favorite items to create my Saturday-look. After an early-morning visiting, we went shopping and took some outfitpictures. I guess my look is a bit trendy meets preppy. On the one hand, there are the checked scarf, the color combinations, and the blazer; and on the other hand I chose the tightly-fitting leggings, trendy bracelets, and the bright blue booties. Love the fact the boots are such eye-catchers. Lots of people told me that, when they're looking for me, it's easy to find me because of the dazzling color of my shoes. I take it as a compliment, I love having unique footwear. :)

Neat, but youthful

If I've got a little time, I love trying new hairstyles on myself. Long hair provides lots of possibilities, so my hair is perfect to satisfy my creative needs. I try to heat my hair as little as possible, but I just bought a nourishing heat protection spray, so happily I'm able to use the curling- or flat iron more often. Unfortunately, my curling iron is very old and it doesn't work great anymore. So I need a better one. Then someone told me that a better alternative to create glamorous curls would be a flat iron. She's a hairdresser and she makes gorgeous curls with hers. I saw great flat irons here, and I was just wondering.. Do you think I'd do wise to buy one of those, or do you prefer a curling iron?

Then about my look of last Sunday. The hair is inspired by Gossip Girl's Serena. When I saw this hairstyle on her (season 3), I had to try it. I think it looks neat and classy, but playful at the same time. I did my best to create an outfit that's also characterized by these features. On the one hand I chose a sophisticated black blazer and my new Outfitters Nation pants, and on the other hand the snakeskin-printed pieces. I really like the balance between neat and youthful, and I hope you agree with me!

Associations

They say the human brain stores memories in the form of a network of associations, and in my case (as you may expect from a real fashion addict like me) these associations often have to do with clothes. Take this outfit as an example: the blazer strongly reminds me of my trip to London last autumn, the shorts make me think back of a really funny shopping spree, and the two zoppini bracelets are for personal reasons of important value for me. Actually, I associate every garment I own with a moment in my life, a particular thought, or something similar. I guess it's one of the reasons why fashion is such an interesting science - yes, you're reading it correctly: I call it a science.

Patterned legs

People say you can hardly go wrong with black and white. In my case, I guess it's true. I really like black-white ensembles, especially when it's foggy and/or rainy outside. To avoid looking like a checkerboard, I chose printed leggings instead of just plain pants. Actually, I have to confess this was not the main reason for chosing to wear these leggings (I just thought it fits the story so well haha). The main reason was that I want to wear them as much as possible in winter, because they are my favorite leggings ever (for obvious reasons. I mean, look at them!). Even though I usually don't buy a piece of clothing in different colors, I also own these leggings in navy-black. I can't help it, I just can't get enough of them!

Black, white and delight

Unfortunately, my vacation is officially over, so I've to return to my studybooks right now. It's not the end of the world, but I have to get used to it.The pictures below are the last pictures taken during the vacation. I'm always fond of the combination black-white and I think the fact that the bag (the delight)has a different color than the rest of the outfit makes the look more interesting.

Walking on golden shoes

Christmas shopping has to be done in an appropriate outfit, if you ask me. And do you think there's any color more appropriate to Christmas than gold? No, there isn't (if you ask me, again). I have to confess I changed my black lace-up boots into these little treasures after the shopping, but the reason for that was that I wanted to make my entrance with these shoes later on the day. Gorgeous shoes deserve a gorgeous entrance on a special occasion, don't you think?

The jacket I wore is from Vivi Clothes. They sell a diverse collection of clothes (and more), but I think this jacket suits my style the best. It's great for the party season, because the bow on the front makes it definitely an eye-catcher, but it's also appropriate as daily wear. Opinions, pleaaaase! :)

Outfit: "The blue wonder"

First things first: I'm sorry for the lack of replies to your wonderful comments. I ensure you I read all of them with the greatest pleasure every time, but as I possibly wrote before, I'm terribly busy these weeks. I've barely got the time to post outfits on a regular base, but when I succeed in doing that, I unfortunately don't have the opportunity to get back to all of you. I'll try to reply as soon as I can, but if it takes too long, please don't be disappointed in me and you have to know that I really appreciate all  of your reactions. It sounds cliche, but they make me smile over and over again.

Then shortly about the outfit: I think the blue wonder does exactly describe how I feel about the blazer. It's currently the best piece of my wardrobe and I'm in love with it. The fabric, the shape, the color.. Everything about it is perfect.
