Shoes reminiscent of…
Etam jumped on the bandwagon with those from their new collection. 35 Euro or so. I am considering them even though everyone is sporting something similar.

Outfit: August
The weather is impossible. I think my biological clock is getting f@*ked up. I have done enormous damage on my budget shopping the sales. I can’t wait to go home in August and rock all my summer clothes. Like this romper/jumper, bought 70% off at H&M). Definite love. Just added the belt to add shape, but I have another one in mind. Yay for warm weather, even if it is for 2-3 weeks :( Ah, my head is not in the shot, because it was either the head or the shoes. And it looked weird without the shoes. Now it looks weird without the head… ;)

The other option
No face today, I look tired and washed out. Excuse the fact that part of the under-layer is showing. This was the other dress which I had in mind for last Friday, but I think it is going back to the store tomorrow. This is the second time I try it but the pattern disturbingly reminds me of a zebra pattern way too much and I think I can’t get over this fact. Otherwise I find it quite cute, it’s silk and has adorable pockets. It’s rather hard to walk in, too. Hmm, is anyone else bothered by the pattern? For 20 Euro, I could keep it. But not if it’s tacky.
Have a nice week, babes.
Outift: Semi formal event
We had this semi formal ball or whatever it was called on Friday. I had three options, but finally bought this dress the very last moment. I intend to wear it at a wedding in August. It’s dreamingly floaty (compared to my other three options which were tight and uncomfortable)Also the belt could be played in different ways. And if you have a big dinner, it won’t show ;) Good think I didn’t spill anything on it on Friday which is simply unbelievable.
Dress: H&M

Boredom
So, I am sick and in bed and I am bored. And yesterday I did laundry and I foolishly put my long skirt in the dryer. Result: at least 10cm shorter. So now while watching a movie and being bored, I suddenly decide to try it as a dress with a belt. It is a bit long and extremely wide, but it somehow reminds me of the DVF I posted about a few weeks ago. Hehe, I need to figure it out a bit better, but I think I kind of like it.
Also posting my outfit from Saturday, I look quite red in the first picture. I have the increasing suspicion that this skirt is actually a top, but I am still not quite sure. I think I prefer it as a skirt anyway, I already have a black tube top.
Skirt: HM, T-Shirt: Zara
Just ranting
I have been extremely lazy to maintain the blog in the past few weeks.
I have been sick for a week now and on Thursday I started taking antibiotics and then foolishly drank I don’t know how many beers on Friday evening. Ah, yes getting drunk with beer might be one of the dumbest things ever. Saturday was a lazy lazy day, although it involved a short shopping trip resulting in me buying something that looks like rain boots, but they are really made of fabric. Go figure. And the Pimkie fringe bag, which was 50% off. I have such a love/hate relationship with sales, which is probably not a unique sentiment. I don’t need anything. I have so many freaking clothes right now. Good thing that I will be able to leave most of my stuff here in boxes and then come from Maastricht to pick it up.
Maastricht. Been planning on going there for one day to check it out, but for now I haven’t had the chance. I also met up with two other girls who are going there, so now we are looking for an apartment. Moving really gets me. I came to think that maybe I don’t like change as much as I say I do. So the Netherlands will be the 5th country I live in (I include Belgium even if it is just for 5 months). For now I like London the best. Surprise surprise. It’s weird how much I like being alone and then how much the lack of people on the streets really bugs me.
I am also on a diet. We have a ball or something on Friday and I want my skirt to fit a bit better. I don’t have a very love-y relationship with myself these days on so many levels. Which is kindof sad. I have this distinctive depressive mood when I can’t eat anything for days, but that’s not it right now. I can’t pinpoint what it is. Some weirdness going on and disturbing the wonderfulness.
Ciao for now. Hopefully next time I write will be soon and in a happy voice.

Outfit: Picnic and bbq
The weather is getting nicer and today we had a picnic at the parc after work. About 200 people showed up and it good time was had by most of the people. Too bad my throat hurts so bad, I am afraid I might not be able to talk tomorrow. Bad choice for a picnic attire, I wish I put on shorts. In my defence, I didn’t expect quite that and thought we would leave in an hour (as opposed to three and a half)
Dress: Promod
Shoes: H&M
Bracelet: H&M

Oldies
I haven’t had much time or desire to photo my daily outfits, so tonight I just gathered a few of the never-published-pics, which didn’t make it to the blog before. Some are ooold, considering I am wearing tights and boots. Hopefully I will start posting daily outfits soon.
Click to enlarge to a quite big collage.
p.s. It is veryyyy weird how I am posing in an identical pose in two of the pictures

Student again…
Sorry for disappearing.
My big news are that I am going back to school to get my Master’s degree. So the next 12 months will be spent in lovely (hopefully) Netherlands. I wanted to wait until I received officially all acceptance and scholarship documents and now that it is a fact, I am sharing. :) I have known for quite some time that I am accepted to the program, but I only recently had good news about my scholarship application.
Happily, I am not buying any more work clothes for the time being!!
I have to properly celebrate soon :)

Some boring updates
Many things happening around here, so bear with me and the lack of posts. I am still holding on the news I mentioned on Friday until at least Wednesday. Otherwise, I had a rather crappy weekend, made better by watching Sex and the City with my flatmates last night. I try not to look at the movie in any other way than as pure guilt free entertainment. No need to critically analyze it really. I enjoyed it and I have to say I much more enjoy the “friendship” aspects of it rather than the “love” and “romance” parts. I only keep wondering whether Carrie and Big will have a baby soon. Oh, and while I loved loved the dresses and clothes and accessories and shoes, product and brand placement was taken a bit too far in my opinion. To the point that I was annoyed when Carrie and Miranda stood infront of a L’Oreal counter and talked for a couple of minutes. bleeeh :)
This city was the most depressing thing on Saturday evening when we went to check out an exhibition in a hotel, where most of the rooms were decorated by different designers. There was no one in the streets even though we were in one of the supposedly livlier and fancier areas. I felt rather intimidated by the designers in the hottel and their friends who stood around the rooms and ate. Seriously weird stuff. And it wasn’t my opinion only. So I went back home three times more depressed than I already was.
Ooo, so glad to be back to work.
