We Wear: Palm trees everywhere!

Seems only fitting to post a blog post with a palm tree overload as I'm leaving for a holiday as of tomorrow. For the moment, it's kind of destination unknown, although Bilbao and Zarautz will most cerrtainly be on the schedule. Adventure, here we come! 

As you may have guessed, this outfit wasn't shot in Belgium, where summer seems to go on and off on us. Nope, this is another one from Sevilla in Spain. Palmtrees and the best high waisted shorts I ever bought, in the history of EVER. Fact is I didn't even try them on, mostly because I hate fitting rooms to levels nobody knew existed. Perfect fit, while it was a complete bargain. Thank you, world!

We Wear: Pastel overload

Aahh, summertime and the living's easy. That's for sure the case when on a holiday in a beautiful city like Seville, Spain. And when it all comes together so nicely - when the houses and doors are a match made in heaven - the living just gets awesome. This skirt is such an old thing, but I keep it hanging in my closet since every year I reach for it at least a few times. This time I opted to edge up the style just a little by adding some bling and contrasting it with a black crop top. Sometimes you wanna be the sugarcoat cute girl, whereas on other occasions,  you wanna be a badass. And that, my dear friends, is a little thing called life. 

Our trip to Seville is already more than a month ago, but I still reminiscence about this stunning city. Definitely a recommendation if you're on the hunt for a city trip. I'm by the way so addicted: I just typed the previous sentence and with the word 'hunt', my mind strayed to lunch time at work aka Pokémon Go time! Yep, yours truly is also a fan, same as the rest of the world! 

PS: Those two cuties (or should I say weirdos) in the bottom pictures are my mom and my little sister.  Eternal love and sunshine for them. And with that very hippie-esque quote, I'm out.

We Wear: Indian summer

Anyone that has stepped outside in the past days knows this outfit is not weather adjusted anymore. I can't believe that only a week ago it really was, but alas summer has gone and it's time to bundle up in EVERYTHING. I mean it, I get up in the morning and all I want to do is wear all the clothes in my closet before stepping outside, or you know, just go in hibernation mode with a blanket covering my head. Of course I'm exaggerating, but only ever so slightly, 'cause it's really freaking cold. But not to worry, when I was wearing this outfit, my mind was already subconsciously preparing my body for an ice cold winter as I was on the look out for big, chunky oldschool knitted sweaters when browsing at Brussels Vintage Market. And boy oh boy did I score, I nabbed TWO awesome sweaters for a bargain price (girl has gotta buy her some furniture) and TWO fuzzy headpieces, enabling me to face King Winter in all its force!

Seriously, I should press this even more: Brussels Vintage Market really is a must see/go/buy. Imagine a huge market with all the prettiness that vintage is and which is held each and every month. Besides that, the general atmosphere is truly amazing, not to mention the music and all the cool people. Summer or winter, always a lovely time!

A new, very warm winter coat

We Wear: Autumn camouflage

Now that the dust from the big move to a (kind of) new city and starting an exciting new job has started to settle, I'm definitely getting back on my blogging schedule. And with that I can finally mentally prepare for fall to arrive, I can almost not wait for more days like the last few with lots of sunshine compared with the marvelous changing of the leafs. I also hope I will be feeling more inspired to create different outfits, because lately I've just been reaching for win combo's from the past. The fact that I'm not doing a lot of shopping for clothes, shoes and accessories, but instead am browsing Westwing, Ikea and other furniture shops could have something to do with that. Not a bad thing though as I'm exploring ALL the stuff I already have hanging in my closet again (read: in boxes that are awaiting to be unpacked). But I wouldn't be me if my mind wasn't already slightly wandering off to a serious shopping spree (spoiler: I did a practice run on Saturday). So do please share, what is your absolute upcoming fall essential, the must have of the brand new season? I need inspiration asap!

We Wear: Pug life

Yes, I am well aware that this outfit may be slightly mismatched with the current weather. I do have a good reason to post it nonetheless: There's a pug on my beanie. Period. Look at the pug!

This will however - fingers crossed - be the last time I'm wearing the good old winter coat + beanie combination on the blog, I promise. What you will be seeing plenty more of are my new Nikes. It happened, I caved once again. Before buying my first pair of Nikes last year, discounting the ones I used to have to exercise at primary school, I could have never imagined the fascination and comfort they bring. Hi, my name is Karolien and I'm an addict. I was in tremendous doubt about buying another pair, but after browsing Pinterest and writing a blog post about the white sneaker trend, I fell in love. And I have been falling ever since. These are hands down and by far the most comfortable, easy going, versatile sneakers I own. I have already some outfits shots ready to show them off on the blog. You will probably get sick of seeing them, for which I apologize in advance.
