LOOKBOOK: Monaco

After three weeks of laziness, tanning, sleeping in and basically doing nothing, it was time to say goodbye and to head home. Back to Holland. Back to real life. Which means finishing the renovations of my new room (soon more on the blog), working at the local grocery store all week and within two weeks starting my last year in high school. Fortunately I can extend the holiday feeling a bit, because there’s an actual heat wave going on right now and because I’m sharing a few photos shot on our holiday :)

During our one-week stay in San Remo, we decided that it would be fun to make a day trip to Monaco - a.k.a. the land of the rich people. It was just an hour's drive and we did the usual touristy stuff. We’ve seen where the rich people moor their yachts, where they gamble away their money, where they sleep for €2000, - a night and where they shop the most expensive clothes. *Sigh* What a life.

I was wearing a green suede skort (skirt on the front, short on the back), a white T-shirt from my brother’s closet, silk scarf around my wrist, straw hat, Ray-Ban sunglasses and a pair of summer sandals. Do you like it?

LOOKBOOK - Grey

Hello everyone! While I ardently wish that I would be in Milan right now to attend Fashion Week, I’m stuck in the drizzly Netherlands preparing myself for next week’s test week. Meh.. There comes a day when I also will be present at this event. Promise!

I’m kind of excited for today’s article because it’s going to be my first outfit post. Yay! I’ve wanted to realize this much sooner, but I never actually did it. Until last Sunday, when I changed the name of this blog and felt like I wanted to breath new life into it. So here it is! Hope you like it :)

As you can see, I was in a kind of grayish mood (which suits the weather here perfectly). I paired a long grey wool-blend coat with a pair of flared leggings in a darker shade of grey.

About these leggings. I’ve bought them actually a while ago, at the end of last summer, but I never really knew how to combine this item properly. Since I guess that they were actually made for jazz dance - the description on the web shop said ‘Jazz-pants’ … - I didn’t want to look like I was going to a dance class whenever I threw them on. So, since then, they were lying somewhere in a corner of my closet.

But when I decided a few weeks ago to purchase a classic Come Des Garçons striped shirt, the problem was solved. It was, in my opinion, a perfect match.

I finished the look with a pair of Stan Smiths at the bottom, because they look good with everything - especially with a pair of flared leggings :)
