Casual Denim on Denim

I'm not much of a nature person but there are days here in Holland when nature truly amazes. Like this day here, sometime last weekend, when rain wasn't the common denominator. Life wise, my thesis is killing me, exams are in 2 weeks (my last one) and Fashion Clash 5.0 2013 starts on the 31st.  If you're from The Netherlands you just have to come, I promise it would be great and we'll have an amazing time. (Click HERE for the program and tickets).

This pair of jeans here (similar here), I had it for years and years and what would now qualify as boyfriend jeans a while ago were pretty tight (Auch!!). Kept it casual with a denim shirt (similar here), animal printed flats (similar here), black tote (similar here) and t-shirt, and that's pretty much it. Do tell me how you feel about denim on denim in the comments!

Monday inspiration: All white

Never been quite a big fan of the whole white trend per se. As a matter of fact I think I merely own 2-3 things in this color (also check the blog's name :) for a reinforcement). Nonetheless it kinda got me when "summer" came, sort of say. What you can see next is my personal selection of how to wear this trend: mainly mix textures, layers and lengths for a strong effect. Mind one small detail, if you're not particularly owning a slim figure (like myself) avoid as much as possible all white outfits. While all together they might not be flattering, you can still go for a pair of jeans or tee which can better highlight your features. As such, even though each season there are "trends" that attract me, at the end of the day I still love to narrow my choices and play it safe. 

If you do have a slim/athletic figure, I the following pictures can serve as inspiration for this summer and how to wear the all white trend. Let me know in the comments your thoughts about this and how would you wear it? Have a lovely week ahead!

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?
