Multiple shades

As promised yesterday, here's the first outfitpost with the bag. I wore this outfit last weekend, when the weather was still delightful. It's a pretty simple look, but I think it's still interesting because of the use of items like the two-toned sunglasses and the ombre sweater. Call me conservative, but I'm always careful with wearing see-through clothes. I want them to look classy, even though most people would say they are less decent than high-necked tops or ladylike dresses. However, I believe see-through clothes do have the potential to look elegant, feminine and classy. When properly styled, a cut-out maxi dress or a sheer shirt can be even more chic than a non-transparent piece. And even though this look isn't intended to be very sophisticated and solid, I think it's important to consider whether the see-through item is still decently enough. Anyway, I think the sweater has passed the test. I love it in combination with the black bandeau bra. It strengthens the feeling of spring!

Do It Yourself dress

This dress is in fact a kimono, that I belted to give it a whole other look. I think it worked out pretty well, but it's up to you whether you agree with that. I made it myself last year and I still like it. The print is very cheerful, and the fabric is nice elegantly. Actually, I like almost everything floral-printed for spring. I guess it's because I love the beauty of nature, especially when it's colorful and peaceful. And flowers are the representatives of those two words, don't you think?

ps there's still one day to join the giveaway. Take your chances!

Oh Giorgio

My first pair of Giorgio Armani sunglasses. When I spotted them, I was immediately sold. The pattern on the frame is unique, yet it suits almost any outfit. And its oversized glasses are beyond perfect. Outfitpost follows quickly..

The city trip

Visiting another city than your own is such a great thing to do, even when the relevant city is in your homecountry. However, I learned (by trial and error) that dressing comfortable is the most important thing when doing that. So I decided to style a really city-proof look. I hope you like it!

Denim on denim

Denim on denim.. I've never tried it before but there's a first time for everything so I decided to wear it for the first time today. When he saw me wearing the jeans shirt, my brother asked me whether I went to a saloon, because he thought I looked like a cowboy. However, I enjoy the result. It's a quite different style than I usually wear, and I like the alternation.

Like an eskimo

It's not a polar bear, it's not an eskimo.. It's just me, wearing my new extremely warm cardigan. I'm glad the outfit worked out well, despite the fact I had no more than twenty-five minutes to get ready before I left the house. I really like off-white clothing when there's snow outside. Even though I'm more than happy I don't live in an cold igloo, I enjoy the eskimo-like feeling these light shades cause when worn on ice cold days..

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!

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: "Let's feel the luxury"

Two good things at the same point in time is definitely called a brilliant mix. My brilliant mix is the combination of sun and a chic occasion. At the first moment, I thought the sequined top and the skirt would look a bit messy together, but I really like the result. It looks like a dress, even though it consists of two separate parts. The little bag is that kind of item that you only use for special occasions, so it was a touching moment when I gently took it out of the closet. Love the luxury that it emits.
