Breaking the rules

I've always been the type of child that's calling "I want to move abroad when I grow up!". I guess it's one of my biggest dreams to have minimized rainfall all over the time. Hence, I thought it was the perfect winter day last Sunday. We went to a little beach, and all I could do was smiling. The cold was offset by the sun, people were walking their dogs everywhere in the park around this beach, and the sky was clear and bright blue. I wore an outfit that's characterized by the fact it breaks an important rule of fashion (for so far there are any rules in the art of fashion): the use of burgundy and red in one and the same look. I doubted about it briefly, but then I knew for sure: I don't follow certain fashion rules. I think the best thing about dressing yourself is the fact everything is possible. You can create anything exactly like you want it to be, so that the look perfectly reflects your personality. No rules can make me stop from wearing the things I like: fashion is about creativity, so I break the rules!

I'm a rockstar (or a vampire)

I was finally able to watch Twilight Breaking Dawn part one in cinema yesterday evening. I totally adored the movie (as expected) and can't wait to see the last part of the saga. What did I wear? I wore red pants, a hairy cardigan, a white printed t-shirt, my beloved ankle boots, and a quilted chain bag. Altogether it was a very comfortable outfit, but I truly felt like a rockstar haha.

Outfit: "Fire is burning on the dancefloor"

Those who are following me via Twitter too, probably have seen I was a little annoyed because I didn't have the time to post this outfit yesterday. But here the pictures finally are! When I think of an outfit that consists of only red and black, two words are always in my head: vamp and fire. It's sort of a natural reaction my brains have, because I can't exactly identify and/or explain why those are the first words that come to my mind. I think it has something to do with the sensual look these colors have together. Anyway, I like red ánd I like black, so I like the combi of them.

The foundation of the outfit is my new bangle from Dress Republic. I discovered the Euniqyou oriental jewelry collection on their site and I was immediately obsessed with all those little treasures. They are exclusively hand-made, and this one is covered with Swarovski crystal gems as well.

Outfit: "Business suit"

If you ask me, glasses are one of the best accessoiries when wearing a suit or a blazer. I paired them with red lips and two statement necklaces. Two necklaces? Why? Because I think only the black one should give a too serious look, and only the red one should break the whole. The use of these two necklaces together ensures that the separate items of the outfit complement each other. Further, a simple white tee and two-toned loafers to complete the black and white (and a pop of red) ensemble. It probably would seem that the bag clashes with the rest of the outfit because of its different color, but in my opinion it matches perfectly. I think it keeps the look a little playful, exciting and edgy.

Outfit: "Red lipstick and galluses"

I wore my new clothing by Outfitters Nation yesterday: the boyfriend jeans and the t-shirt with the two bright hearts on it. I chose flat sandals to keep the look leaned back and I think the galluses give a specific edge to the ensemble. The military jacket is my favorite blazer, so I didn't have to doubt for a long time about what jacket was allowed to take care of my warmth. As loyal readers of my blog already know, I made the oversized leather clutch myself and the bracelet is from a little jewelry store in Amsterdam.

Settling affairs

Have you seen the movie Scarface? When I wore this outfit, I really felt like Al Pacino's comrade. Preparing for making a big business deal.. Even though Al Pacino's business isn't the sort of business I want to be familiar with, I felt comfortable with this look. I had to finish some projects at home this week, and I like doing that when I'm wearing clothing with a high level of comfort. The ruffled sweater has become my best friend this week, haha. The pants I wore are my self-made palazzo pants. I prayed the outfit wouldn't  make me look like I just woke up and forgot to change my pyjamas into something proper (because I combined the wide-leg pants with a loose sweater). I hope you think it worked out in a good way, but decide it yourselves! ;-)
