We Wear: Christmas / Birthday / New Year's outfit










I'm wearing:
Glitter body: H&M
Earrings: Christmas ornaments from Kruidvat
Skinnies: Levi's mile high skinny jeans
Glitter heels: Liu-Jo c/o SKM
Socks: Wolford via Veritas

But I have to disappoint you. Three different occasions but one and the same outfit. The only thing that changed were my earrings (because too many options) and shoe-choice (because I can't walk multiple kilometers in heels without breaking my ankles). I'm easily over-excited about things and this H&M glitter body is one of them. The glitter and open back makes this a real eye-catcher and thus the ideal piece of garment for the holidays. Or any other day of you ask me.

Same goes for these heels I got to take home from the SKM blogger event in February. I still can't wrap my head around the fact these beauties are now mine. I can't wear them on a daily basis but I did dance the night away in these during New Year's Eve. My feet were about to kill me by the end of the night, but it was so worth it. 

Also I'm never buying jeans other than Levi's again. I can wear these skinnies for a week and they keep their tight fit. They really fit me like a glove. I'm not the one to always buy the big brands but I really don't mind paying a little more for jeans with this incredible fit. Well done, Levi's, I'm planning on stacking up a lot of these. #truelove

I'm wearing Christmas ornaments as earrings because we had to dress up for our Christmas party at work. But I ended up liking these "earrings" so much that I wanted to wear them again. Not completely to the liking of the boyfriend but he can't keep my glitter loving heart from wearing silver glitter hearts in my ears <3

What We Wear Wednesday: Night out vs. Sushi date

Night Out: Top: Mango - Skirt: New Look - Shoes: La Bottega - Earrings; Forever 21 - Necklace: market in Porto
Sushi Date: Top: Mango - Skirt, earrings: New Look - Shoes, blazer: H&M -  Necklace: COS - Sunglasses: Carrera

It was just one of those Saturdays: party planned in the evening but nothing to wear. Only one instant solution: turn off your mind and go shopping! Turning of the mind was needed to be able to ignore all the crazy, little kids who were let loose in the city. Education seems to be overrated these days. Or Plopsa Indoor got too expensive.

My elbows were itching, but I managed to find my complete outfit before they got out of hand in some kid's face. Concentration is a necessity whilst shopping, you know. I found the top at Mango. I rarely grab black clothing, not because I don't like it, I'm just more attracted to colorful and bright things. But I knew from the moment I slipped it on, it would be a keeper. Beautiful in it's simplicity, and some good old back cleavage. I already saw me wearing it on my black skinnies (the only piece of clothing where I mostly go for black) when New Look threw this skirt in my face. No words are needed, right? It's the perfect model for my figure (or I like to believe that and I'm not in the mood for contradiction, so leave me be) and I love the little tie-dye effect it has. In the fitting room I tried my newly bought top with it and I felt like winning the jackpot. I bet all of you guys have felt that way in a fitting room at least once!

For the party that evening I combined my winning combination with my new sparkly shoes from La Bottega. I've claimed once never to say no to glitter/ sparkles again, and I've learned over the years to honor my intentions. So there you go. I like the combination of gold in my necklace and earrings. It gives me a 'Great Gatsby', roaring twenties feel. But that might just be me.

The next day I was contemplating 'bout my outfit for the sushi date that evening, with bestie Sofie. But who was I kidding. Of course I wanted to wear my new skirt and top. It's so typically Lies: now I want to wear it forever when all of a sudden I will grow tired of it. I can't imagine now that will EVER happen, but that day will come. And some kid is going to regret being in the city that day. But I made an effort to at least change my accessories for the occasion. The sunglasses were a must to hide my still puffy eyes, and protect them from how bright the world can be.  It makes the outfit totally different, don't you think? Just say yes, believe me.

Now that's a whole lot of talking.
