We Wear: Grey Grey Grey

Coat: New Yorker's - Jumper: Urban Outfitters - Skinnies: H&M - Boots: Steve Madden

I thought it would be appropriate to wear all grey in a time of mourning. Yes, you read that correctly. Those following me on Twitter or Instagram may already know that I had to say goodbye to one of my cats last week. The second one actually, in little more than a year's time. She turned fifteen but decided that was old enough. I'm heartbroken but I know she's having a good time now soaking up the sun and playing with some mice. You take care, my dear lioness!

I bought this jumper last winter at Urban Outfitters. It reflects me being a crazy cat lady in pale pink, so nothing screams "Lies" more than this acrylic friend (unfortunately). The scalloped neckline makes the whole thing a bit more feminine. I say that as if pale pink cats and hearts aren't feminine enough.

The boots make me feel like I'm walking around in Sovjet Russia and sound like there are spurs attached to them. So I'm kind of a lonesome cowgirl in the wild wild Russia. In case you haven't noticed, I like visualising everything. To really make you get the whole thing, you know? Like really get. And I do that because there are a lot of things in the world that I just really don't understand, unable to wrap my head around. So when it comes to fashion and outfits, I want everything to be crystal fucking clear.

I'm also pretty sure I want a new tattoo / multiple new tattoos. Sorry mom, you had to find out one way or another. It might have something to do with some sticky tattoos that ended up on our arms last Friday, but I'm not sure. That same night might also be the culprit for that tired expression that's stuck on my face, however I refuse to acknowledge that. Sleep is overrated anyway. Except on Mondays.

Oh don't forget we're also on Facebook! Check us out and like that shit! (Please?)

I do have another partner in crime, my lonely wanderer called Mylo. She's the only one left, so now it's just her and me against the world. They all seemed alike because they were all black and white, but I assure you I'm talking about three different cats and I'm not schizophrenic.

What We Wear Wednesday: Pastel Parade

 Headband: Claire's - Scarf: H&M - Jumper: Forever 21 - Floral skinnies, jacket: Zara - Glitter boots: New Look - Leaf ring: Six - Earrings: ModCloth

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: Pale Pink.

Actually, this could be the title of any of my WWWW's, I seem to wear a lot of pale pink. But what can I say? I love it! So I don't need to justify it, right?

I wore this outfit for my first days of work (summer job at L'exsellent in Lommel), as in: yesterday and the day before. Two days in a row?! OH NO WHAT A SHAME! Only that...it's not. This outfit is super comfy and that's all what your first days of work should be about. There's enough stressing about all the new stuff you have the learn and all. So while picking up wrinkles of all that thinking, I want to be in a comfortable outfit.

So I've been working for two days now (actually only one and a half to be quite honest) and I'm already kind of exhausted. However, I did photograph a wedding on Saturday. It was my first and I really underestimated all of the work! At half past seven, I was already taking my first pictures of the bride to be at the hairdresser's, and around half past midnight I stepped in my car to drive home. That's seventeen hours of almost non-stop photographing. It was really fun though. As a photographer, you can sneak around all day trying to capture all the little things that usually go unnoticed. I love sneaking around! And nobody bothers you because well...you're the photographer and you're allowed to sneak around! The luxury! But I'm getting of track, I was just explaining why I must be so tired now.

I love these skinnies I'm wearing. They're from ZARA and they are ab-so-lutely fantastic. I bought them four times, each in different colors. Skinnies tend to be not skinny enough (or does that just happen to me), but these fit perfectly. Everyone should own a black skinny jeans by the way. I love to combine black pants with more romantic shades, for instance this pale pink. The black toughens up the pink and the pink softens (the blow)* the black. The denim jacket finishes the look by saying "Yes, she's a chick you don't want to mess with". I also sometimes combine this look with my pale pink blazer you can see HERE. That might be too much of pale pink for the most of us, but not for me it isn't!.

Denim jacket, sneakers: H&M - Top: Forever21 - Skinnies: ZARA
