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.

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? 

INSPIRATION: Sweat baby sweat

It isn't that cold these days, but I have the haunting omnipresent feeling that we do have a few ice cold winter days or even weeks ahead. Oh look, my predictive powers are obviously quite good. What is better than to snuggle up in a comfy sweater during these days? I hear you, nothing. Except wearing pajama pants and a blanket, but some of us have a job to attend and might get (even more) frowned upon showing up in merely a blanket. Just saying.

I've been looking for a sweater/sweatshirt with a cool print and a more sporty vibe for a few weeks now (which is actually quite long for me). Strolling along shops, in reality and virtually and getting more and more ideas stuck in my head. I could totally see myself wearing said sweater with a collared shirt underneath, maybe a skinny pants and some Vans or a skirt and brogues for a more classy style.

I actually found a TERRIFIC sweater in Forever 21 with a print of The Lion King (can't find it anymore however). And you have to know that The Lion King is my all-time Disney favorite. I had to have it, but unfortunately it wasn't in my size anymore. Sad face. Then I spotted a sweater with Snow White, but for one reason or another I deemed it inappropriate for my 'oh-god-I'm-turning-26-this-year' ass. Bambi however isn't too childish, I think. And yes, I do hear/read myself talking and I realize it sounds as complete bogus.

I'll leave you with a collage of some of my favorite sweaters. Do please tell me which one I should get or if you know other places with even better sweaters. Girl gots to make a well informed choice, right? I'm actually doubting between Bambi and Wonder Woman.

What We Wear Wednesday: Leopard Love

Last summer I already discovered the perks of loose, printed pants: I bought myself two pair of flower pants. After wearing them to death and actually growing a bit tired of them, I spotted the perfect new pair of printed pants on my holiday in France. And in my favorite print of all time: leopard. Yes, I have A LOT of stuff in leopard print and some people might even say I have everything in leopard and some other people might even say that it is TOO MUCH (my sister) and more people may say that I need to stop buying leopard printed clothes and accessories. To all those people I say: NO, I have the right, no even the duty, to buy as much stuff in my favorite print as I possibly can. I simply adore it and every time I spot something in leopard, my attention is immediately drawn. I cannot help it. It's my little addiction, quite harmless, right?

That being said and off my chest, I decided to dress up the leopard pants a bit. Normally I wear it quite comfortably and more edgy, but this time I wanted to try and look a little bit more up style. For that purpose, I wore my cream blazer and combined it with my collared blouse. I wasn't too sure about the outfit at the start of the day, but I came to really love the contrast between the dark leopard on the one hand and the white and pastel on the other hand.

Also notice the dip and dye necklace. I spent ages looking for it, but I couldn't find it anywhere and almost resorted to trying to fix it up myself. Luckily and weirdly enough, I found it after all this time in H&M, a shop where I almost spend every waking hour, so to speak.
