We Wear: Lost without you


You may remember this sweater from one of the previous blog posts when we talked about SKM upping their game and a few months later, it is still one of my go to items. Casually with a pants or more preppy with a skirt and brogues, anything's possible with this beauty by Zoe Karssen! I really want to say I will take it with me on my holiday - which I will be leaving for TOMORROW - but let's get real, Seville with its 33° C begs for crop tops and mini skirts more than for a sweater. Sorry not sorry!

That being said, if you have ANY tips on what to visit, do, eat, hang out or drink in Seville, do share! I will be there for 5 heavenly days, together with my mom and sisters and I am more than looking forward to it. Hell, I even packed my bag already days in advance, which is very out of character for me. Seville, here I come!

We Wear: The boyfriend's band sweater







 I'm wearing:
H&M faux leather jacket // H&M Scarf // Boyfriend sweater // H&M crisp white shirt // Cheap Monday  skinny jeans via Urban Outfitters // H&M polka dot socks // Pertini brogues via La Bottega // Komono sunglasses // Pictures by Sofie

He spilled coffee on my top so I had to wear something of his. And I don't mind because I actually love this sweater! Lorenz found it as a sale bargain at Urban Outfitters last winter but I'm trying to slowly add it to my pile of clothes - sorry Lorenz. I'd give him something in return but my wardrobe is either too fluffy or "too metal". I went for the preppy grunge look with this outfit. I really underestimated the power of a crisp white shirt! A tomboy must-have if you ask me.

This outfit nor the weather will show it but we did enjoy a first day of spring about a week and a half ago. I was sipping wine bare-legged, that's heaven for me guys. I did not photograph the look however because I was way too busy with doing nothing.

We Wear: Despite Perfect Fashion

Leather jacket, scarf: Zara - Dress: Mango - Kicks: Nike Air Max - Necklace: H&M - Bag: Forever21

Maybe I could apologize for the big ladder in my tights, but actually why should I. This is how I went out last weekend, despite what my mom had to say about that, so it seemed only fair to show you this entire outfit. Ladder inclusive. Isn't that what fashion can be about: it's not at all perfect and you should also show the imperfections? Some may call it pitiful, I call it honesty. In the end it's all just a matter of perception.

I think the ladder works well with my safety pin embellished leather jacket. I say embellished but it's a necessity to keep my jacket together, it's had its best days. (I still love it.) The two of them together contrast perfect with my more preppy leopard dress and my crisp white kicks. Because a little drama and a little contrast has never hurt anyone. (I have a feeling I say that a lot.) It felt quite good to finally combine these kicks with a dress instead of with pants.

Oh and I'm not wearing lipstick. It's cherry flavored Labello (okay, you actually don't see that at all). There are some little things in life that can make me very happy and the smell of cherry Labello - or any other artificially enhanced cherry smells (like the candy oh my gooooood) - is one of those things. Same goes for anything coconutty. Coconutty. Nice.

Two for one: tartan skirt part two


One item, two styles, that was the basic logic behind the previous post combined with this post. And that one item was a tartan skirt, which I dug up from my past. A tartan skirt is quite a versatile item of clothing with endless possibilities, but in my (narrow?) mind it comes down to one of these two styles. Either you go for the grungy punk look - "hey, look at me, fuck you all!" - or you go for a preppy style. On Friday I've shown you the first one, today the time has finally come to present you my interpretation of a preppy style including a tartan skirt. I think all the other possibilities fall in one of these two categories, but of course it's possible to make it less extravagant and obvious, unlike me. 

 Tartan skirt: oldschool - White shirt: Primark - Necklace: gift - Blazer, brogues: New Look - Rucksack: Morocco


Again, my heroic little sister took the pictures. She even made me hold a book (not mine, thank God! I'm quite over studying) to make it more authentic... She's also suggesting we change the name of the blog to "Peaches & Peaches & poor fool" considering she's the one who mostly is obliged to take my pictures. 

I think I'll be rocking/prepping both styles this fall. What do you guys think? Which one do you like the best?
