DIY studded shorts
The jeans I made these shorts of have a long and complicated life. I bought them six years ago, and wore them a lot at that time. Then, I let them down - I was such a bad friend.. However, I always kept them, and I recovered our friendship after a while and I started wearing them again. This was until the moment I decided to transform them in some badass ripped jeans. They absolutely rocked, btw! But.. I love change, so it was time to modify them again: in these studded jeans to be precise. Hope you like them!

The perfect skirt
Finding the perfect skirt is more difficult than passing all of your exams with A+s, giving a speech about the economic recession on national television, or traveling around the world in just four days (only read the latter if you prefer exaggerated metaphors). Ironically, I found mine when my search for it was temporarily on a low flame. It has a metallic hue and its quality and length is beyond excellent. I styled it in combination with my black turtleneck sweater (which is very loose so it's great to wear a couple of layers underneath), the DIY oversized clutch, the silver cuff, and a glamorous black necklace. In my opinion, the latter is definitely the finishign touch to the look even though it's not highly visible because it's also black, but what do you think?

Liberty walk
One of the reasons why wearing leather pants isn't the best option when it's freezing outside is their lack of isolation. In other words: they are as cold as hell. But when I received these pants, one of the first things I noticed was their lining. The entire inside's made of a thick and furry fabric, so they ensure you won't get cold legs when you're wearing them. I combined them with a top I recently purchased. I totally love it, because of its combination of glamour (the sequins), minimalism (the cut), and so called edginess (the shoulder pads). I definitely need more tops like this in my life.

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!

American charm
I've never been in The United States before but going there is one of the things standing on top of my "I want to do list". My desire to go there is probably one of the reasons why my new sweater attracts me that much. I wore it in combination with my DIY clutch and black lace shorts (the nonchalant side of the look) and my red coat (the elegant side of the look) yesterday. Though it's storming right now, the sun shone yesterday and while driving along the airport I suddenly got tremendous sense in summer. I've got a feeling it will be the best summer EVER! But let it be a dry, cold winter right now, because I just bought myself a new Tommy Hilfiger winter coat and I can't wait to wear it as much as possible (I'll show it to you tomorrow).

Increased level of comfort
Dreaming with eyes wide open is better than living your life while keeping your eyes closed. Don't ignore the small but beautiful things in life. Before you know, you miss your golden opportunity.
My apologizes for this cryptic one, but it's all true (in my opinion) so I want to share these thoughts with you. However, in case you don't feel like deciphering a quote at this time of the day, just take a look at the picture beneath. The outfit isn't a special one, but probably it's inspirational in case you're searching for a veeery comfortable, warm, and layered weekend look. ;-)

Snakeskin on my feet
Veni, vidi, vici! - I came, I saw, I conquered!
Let's keep the quote of the day brief. As you might know, this quote isn't mine, in contrast to the foregoing ones. It's a sentence reportedly written by Julius Caesar, as comment to a very short war he waged. I read his Latin writings in high school, and I have to say I loved the language and the stories he wrote. The culture of that time has always interested me.
But enough about that. It's time for the outfit with my oh so beloved snakeskin booties. I like the combination of them with maroon so much. However, to avoid a totall messy look full of different shades and textures, I kept the rest of the outfit serene with black items. Have a nice Tuesday, everyone!

The winter child
Perfect happiness is the result of a proces of growth. The road towards has some bumps and holes, but when you see a glimmer of hope despite all the troubles you're experiencing, your final destination will be paradisiacal.
I couldn't resist singing Christmas songs this morning. When I woke up I saw the gorgeous bright sky, and in combination with the ice cold weather it created an atmosphere that almost forced me to think about the lights, decorations, and songs associated with The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year. However, people would probably think I'm crazy when I would already bring up the Christmas tree in October, so my thoughts about the holidays are only expressed in the songs I hummed and in the colors of my outfit. In my opinion, black, dark blue, and especially the maroon-like color, are typically colors that are perfect for the colder days. And I have to say, I feel more than happy in these shades. My love for dark colors will always remain, I guess.

Let's rock this shit
After my latest outfitpost with the cute dress, I thought it would be cool to post a thougher look. And do you think there are better ingredients for a though look than leather, faux fur, a ripped jeans and a snake bracelet? The destroyed jeans and the oversized leather clutch are DIY, and I already introduced you to my feet's leather companions yesterday. Soooo, what do you think?
