Monday inspiration: Denim Shorts

Morning babes! I am such a big fan of these super cute denim shorts and even though in The Netherlands the weather is not friendly enough to enable us to go full summer mode, in other parts of the world is already warm enough to enjoy them. Okey, so I decided to keep the Monday inspiration series going (last week post here) and here are some ideas on how to wear the denim shorts. I personally prefer casual outfits with them (white blouse, a pair of sandals and you're good to go) but the possibilities are endless: all denim, high heels, boots, slouchy over-sized. Also the cuts are enough for every body figure: you have the short-shorts (waaaaay too short!), the regular fit, the boyfriend, the distressed ones (my favorites), combinations (distressed and boyfriend - another personal favorite).

Do share what you're favorites are and how you like to wear them! We're all looking for inspiration.

PS: I had a full week applying to jobs, writing thesis, assignments and so on that I forgot about the outfit post this week. (as I'm writing this is 3AM, I've been a bit off-schedule lately)

Monday inspiration: Matchy Matchy

Morning babes! I have to say that I never enjoyed the matchy matchy trend more than I do now. As a matter of fact, I never did; not sure if we're on the same page but it always seemed like the safe option, and quite frankly a bit outdated. But as fashion never ceases to grow (or just improve?) it appears that you can actually achieve an elevated level of sophistication within a matchy matchy situation. How? Just go with a tailored, modern cut, an asymmetric skirt, bold colors/patterns/or fabrics and always gorgeous shoes/bags/or clutches. 

Crazy week ahead again! I'll just leave you with some ideas of how to approach the matchy matchy trend. See you later this week! And please do share in the comments your impressions about this re-invention!!

Back to basics: The white t-shirt

Ok babes so this is the story of the cheapest t-shirt I own! So you go to H&M and purchase the 3€ white tee, while you are out get a permanent black market too,  go back home and print the Céline logo, masterfully draw it on your tee, leave to dry (2-3h), iron to set the color et voilà: Céline tee with 3,20€. It took me like 10 minutes to put it together, but if you're less skillful at drawing inside the lines here's from where you can purchase one still fairly cheep.

Recently I'm really into basic looks, like this one, simple blue jeans which I have since I was in 9th grade (that's 8 years ago!?), black blazer (Berska), a pair of comfortable heels (Aldo), big big bag, over-sized sunnies (H&M) and some minimal jewelry (neon pink necklace and bracelet from New Yorker).

Are you more of a basic lover, the simpler the better, or the opposite?

Got frozen yoghurt again, this time with stroopwafel and chocolate chips. To die for!

Monday inspiration: Sporty chic

Morning babes! As I mentioned last Monday (here) I'll continue the inspirational series with a trend that surfaced a while back, namely the sporty chic one. For all of you sports savvy peeps now you no longer have to wear sportswear to the gym only. Basically you have to ditch the high heels and bring the fashionable sneakers into the game. That's if you're going for the easy approach. Of course variations and alternatives exist but again it's a matter of taste. Be it a varsity jacket or a cool sweatshirt you can pair them with leather shorts or pencil skirts to get the maximum out the sporty chic trend.

And now the question comes: how or did you tried this sporty trend? If so please leave my your blog post link in the comments or just tell me how. Stay inspired!

Fro-Yo

Hey babes! Half way through the week and I still have so many things to do. These photos were taken after a workshop my fiend and I attended at the International Case Competition @ Maastricht with DSM on Monday, which was a bit boring in the beginning but we 'managed' to make it more interesting towards the end. Afterwords we went to get some fro-yo, never tried it before (not quite sure why) but it's delicious and a great low fat alternative to ice-cream.

Since we attended a workshop, the outfit was rather business-casual, or at least that's what was written on the invite. I went for H&M top, flats and sunnies, Boohoo bag, Colin's jeans and Berska jacket. Weather looks pretty good right now so probable soon I'll start wearing dresses and such. (Uhuu!)
