Outfit: "Layering on Friday"

Playing with sheer fabrics to create an interesting outfit is one of my favorite things to do lately. I love the challenge to develop an elegant look with it. I used various layers for today's outfit. The first one is the Lingerie Please bra, above it the sheer top, over that a long vest and the last layer is my new perfect-shaped Outfitters Nation jacket. The TOD's bag doesn't need further explanation. Y'all know I'm it's lover.

Lingerie Please sells the most amazing bras and other lingerie, so if you've got a little time, I think you should visit the shop! :)

Layering for spring

Whenever I've a little time, I love watching movies. I wore this outfit when I went to the cinema with my mother yesterday. We watched Something Borrowed and I totally loved it. I would definitely recommend that movie. The fourth part of Pirates of the Caribbean is also great when you watch it 3D. I went to that one last Sunday. After a much too busy period with a lot of uni projects/exams, I decided I deserved some entertaining evenings in the cinema.

The outfit is based on layering. I'm a huge fan of layering to stay warm ánd fashionable in winter, but I think layering for spring is great too! In my opinion, it's a challenge to find the balance between dressing appropriate to the (sunny) weather and creating a fabulous look with many layers. I hope you like the result just like I do. The layers consist of a cardigan, a vest, a scarf and my new Outfitters Nation dress. I chose tights in the same color as the dress, because I didn't want to be a "living canvas with a million colors on it". I never wore the hat before, but I'm sure I'll do a lot in the future. I'm definitely digging it.

PS don't forget to join my Giveaway. It ends next Sunday

Dress - Outfitters Nation

DIY Black and Watermelon Maxi Dress

A little last minute change to my DIY outfit for the wedding I went to in Sydney on the weekend. Ended up layering a watermelon DIY floor length silk skirt (with a big side split) over a black elasticated bodycon dress with cut outs in the back. I sewed a black silk waistband directly onto the skirt while it was on to make it look more streamlined. The skirt had such a beautiful flow to it when I walked  and was so nice to wear. The candy store tiled walls of the bathrooms in The Ivy made a perfect (albeit random) backdrop for a few last minute pics.
