What We Wear Wednesday: Porto buys

Yes, it's Porto again. Sue us. We've spent last Friday dancing in the rain, which was fun, but I'm craving some sunshine here! Sunshine! Cocktails! Swimming! Dresses! So it's time for some reminiscing.

During our first day in Porto, we went shopping. It was hard not to as our apartment was only a couple of streets away from the big shopping street. And there I met Stradivarius. It was love at first sight, like head over heels, and I've been thinking about him every day since I got back. He totally ignored my budget and left me broke to the penny, but oh my I couldn't care less. The things I got in return are totally worth my madness! I swear to God that we hadn't been drinking Caipirinhas beforehand but we acted like wild animals in that store.

This dress and the bag are some of my buys at Stradivarius. Strapless, tie-dye, white. I really do not need to say more, do I? Yes, it occurs to me also that my skirt from my previous post kind of resembles this dress, as it's also light blue and tie-dye'ish. So what, it's my thing now. The zipper on the back does tend to open, without me wanting that. But nothing a little hook can't fix. Thank you Natalie for 'hooking me up' each day!

Because of all that dancing in the rain all night last Friday, I'm stuck with a throat infection. So I'm going to leave you with this and a promise to write a more coherent story next time.

What We Wear Wednesday: Kurt Cobain

These weekly posts remind me of how fast time flies! It's Wednesday a-gain, wow!

But back to business. A couple of months ago already, I bought some new sunglasses from 80's Purple after I saw a blogpost on Fashionata (you can read that particular article HERE). I really LOVED those half-tint sunglasses so I decided to buy them myself. The black ones were already sold out so I was forced (yes, forced) to buy the white ones. But I don't mind, I love white accessories. And suddenly those sunglasses reminded me of this picture of Kurt Cobain, hence the title of this blogpost. I tried to mimic that picture but that turned out harder than expected, so I gave up. Sorry! It really was too ridiculous. 

I'm also wearing my new, and handmade, tie-dye jeans! I had never tie-dyed anything before, and I love how it turned out. Only downside: I used an old jegging which is actually a little too big for me now. When it comes out of the laundry it fits fine, but after half an hour it gets rather loose. Bummer!

My top is from H&M, I bought it two years ago and it still is one of my favorite items in my closet. I have, without exaggeration, worn it a million times and it carries a lot of happy memories. I think back then I called it my 'lucky blouse'. I love the fit, the pale pink color and how it sometimes unexpectedly falls over my shoulder. At first, I thought it wasn't going to last very long, because I feared things would get stuck in it and I would tear it. But up until now, that has never happened!
