We Wear: Floral pants

Bijschrift toevoegen

I own these pants for three years now and I think I wore them equally as much. They have been in my "to sell"-pile multiple times but now, all of a sudden, I am hooked. The weather lately has been quite generous with the amount of sunshine and those tropical conditions were the main reason I chose these pants over my dreadfully hot skinny jeans. I needed breezy garment that was still work appropriate. Mission accomplished! I need more of these in my wardrobe, soon! I'm also on the lookout for the perfect pair of boyfriend jeans. I've tried one of Levis but I didn't like the fit very much. Made me feel like an obese midget again. So any recommendations?

My peeptoes are made completely out of leather and I bought them on sale (80% discount!) last summer at Urban Outfitters. I spend no more than 10 euros on these babies! Best sales item ever in my opinion. And best footwear during sunny days. My apologies for not having them portrayed better. I had one picture, but I didn't like it that much (sorry Lorenz).

Mango has really done it again with this top. Remember my black one I wore to death? Of course you don't. I'm sure this top will be a new go to item in my wardrobe. I can already tell you guys it also looks GREAT with skinny jeans. But I'll try to bring some variation in my outfits so I won't bore you guys to death.

These pictures were taken at a flax field not far from my boyfriend's place. We drove past and the whole field was blue, it was so pretty! When we drove past again later that day, the blue was gone, the flowers had closed. So I guess we had some perfect timing for picture taking. Yay!

I woke up on Sunday and whitnessed magnificent rays of sunlight. That inspired me to bring out my floral Zara pants again and to even combine it with my floral headband that Karolien got me for my birthday last year. Then I came downstairs and took an actual look out the window. Well hello there, snow. So all my floral was a bit spring optimistic, but I couldn't care less. I was going to wear floral and pastels and nobody was going to stop me. Nobody. If I would have had a pastel coat, I would've worn it too. But alas.

As you can see: I have also found my pair of glitter boots. I scored them during the sales at New Look for only 9 euros. Can you believe that? I wasn't really sure 'bout the shade of brown, but Karolien convinced me. We're really good at convincing eachother to buy shoes, as you can also see in her previous post.

You may not notice, but I've been to the hairdresser. Quite the accomplishment because I haven't been for more than a year! I HATE going to the hairdresser because they always screw things up. This time has been no different. Okay they didn't screw up, but they didn't do what I asked either. They almost gave me a rounded fringe... A straight fringe needs to be straight, not rounded. And she didn't ask me if I wanted it rounded, she just cut along. I had to squeel "Please make it straight!" before she did so. I bet I looked as frightened as a rabbit in the headlights of a car. I also asked to make my hair more layered so that my ends fall in a V-shape on my back. I don't know if she didn't hear me or utterly ignored me, but it didn't happen. I also asked to get the yellow tones out of my blondish hair, but that didn't went very well either. But okay, I don't blame them for that. Me dyeing my own hair probably has something to do with that. And last but not least, she didn't show me my hair afterwards, you know with a mirror reflecting in the mirror in front of you so you can check your hair when it falls down your back? I bet she did it on purpose, so I wouldn't notice she ignored my wishes. Ofcourse I didn't have the guts to tell her I wasn't satisfied. I have a big mouth on (virtual) paper, but I'm a scaredy cat in real life you know. I know I'm not going back for at least another year.

What We Wear Wednesday: Flowers and Flamingos

So this time I'm not too late. Hooray!

I wore this outfit to go have a drink with my lovely niece. During the day I was wondering what to wear and I had this alliteration in my head: flowers and flamingos. I already posted something on Twitter 'bout wanting to have a flamingo, my brain just sometimes works like that. And then it totally hit me that I also OWN flowers and flamingos! Clothing-wise that is. Flamingos are the coolest thing and when I saw Alexa Chung for Vero Moda rocking this blouse, I had to go and buy it. Ok, she's actually rocking the dress and I got the blouse. Plus, the flamingos are pale pink and we all know I love pale pink. I'm beginning to wonder if it ever gets boring. Well, not for me!

So I wanted to combine my pale pink flamingo printed blouse, with my pale pink floral printed pants. I thought it worked quite well. This is one of my other ZARA pants I was talking about HERE. I was having second thoughts about this one, but my mom said to just take it. So that's what I did. And I sure don't regret it! It's a bit more loose than the other skinnies though, which is too bad.

Because the whole thing is a bit...well, pale. I threw in my black faux leather jacket, to spice things up. I bought the thing two years ago when I was in Barcelona at a local ZARA (I seem to have bought a lot of things two years ago, but I was a working girl back then) and I really love it. I love the leopard print on the inside and the lovely short fit. But I have always annoyed myself about the long sleeves, I don't want no short arms! So I got the luminous idea to roll up my sleeves. Took me quite a while huh. And double win: now you can see the leopard print and it doesn't involve me and flashing.

My purse is also from Barcelona, but it's thrifted. Barcelona really is second-hand heaven! Besides pale pink, I have a thing for white. Which means I own a lot of white purses and shoes. You'll see. The shoes that I'm wearing here are also thrifted. And they hurt like hell! I think it's a small 37, which fits, but the leather is really stiff. But they are soooo pretty! I'm such a woman.

What We Wear Wednesday: Floral

Last time I did a WWW Wednesday, I apologized for the horrible background in the pictures and I promised to do better next time. I enunciated with great bravery that there would be wavy trees and even some flowers. So, there you have it! Keeping promises like a boss, although I had to cheat a bit to get the flowers in the picture. Floral printed pants to the rescue, right? Make no mistake, those pants are no pajamas. Yes, indeed, there are in fact people who are quite easily mistaken, but what do they know, pfuh! Honestly, I have to admit though that they do feel as comfy as pajamas. But well, nobody said you can't wear something pretty and be pajamas-comfortable at the same time.

I took the pictures at my grandmother's house, so no, the dog is (thank gooood) not mine. Not that I don't like dogs, I'm just not particularly fond of them and I think it has something to do with a childhood trauma of mine. I seem to be talking a lot about my grandma lately, at least in the latest two blog posts. There's a very good reason for that though, she is so much fun! And so modern. Our hair colours even match: hers is purple all the way and mine is at the moment dip and dye purple(ish).

One more thing I wanted to share: I tried something new with my nails, as you can see in the picture. It's called Sunset Nails, but let's just call it Tequila Sunrise Nails, 'cause that sounds so much more fun. Pretty much everything with the word tequila in it sounds fun. Anyways, it's actually the same as doing ombre nails, applied with a sponge. I think this video is very helpful in that department, and if you just use yellow and red nail polish, it's a perfect sunrise! I have to say, I have not really the hang of it yet (I actually wanted it to look like this), but  I guess practice makes perfect...
