CASUAL WEEKEND LOOK IN A BOHO BLOUSE
Giving laces a contemporary touch
On Fridays I leave the office early and love this extension to my weekends! First of course there is some grocery shopping as well as all the little errands... as always, I buy fresh flowers and went to the garden centre next town as I also needed some more plants for my terrace.
I
wore my new lace blouse from Zara paired with cropped trousers and
super comfy slippers. The boho style is one of the major trends this
season and I am happy I found this light ivory coloured blouse which is
also a perfect match with my flared jeans (seen here).
MY OLD NAVY BLUE SHIFT DRESS
... even fashion bloggers can't buy new clothes for every post!
Everything I am wearing today has been in my wardrobe for quite some time. Although I love shopping, I am not craving for the latest must-have piece. Usually I am a bit hesitant towards new trends anyway and talked about it in my last post. Pairing existing clothes with a new purchase is always nice and feeling good and comfortable in my personal style is most important.
HOW TO WEAR THE TREND: CULOTTES
Culottes? No, never ever I will wear them! Ridiculous... they are not flattering at all and I remember them from the 80s and early 90s ... I'll definitely skip that trend!
Sounds familiar?
Ok, that's what I said when I noticed the first culottes last year. Never gave them a second thought until I saw this red statement piece which Zara actually describes as a "sarong skirt". I just found the exact same ones for half of the price (!) in red and black on Oasap here! For me a sarong is a large piece of cloth wrapped around the hips, worn as a skirt in many Asian countries and I have seen them during my travels, especially in Indonesia. Our western version are pareos which are perfect for beach holidays. When you google for them, also try "gaucho pants", they really do go by different names! Anyhow - my new favourite red piece looks like a skirt from the front and trousers from the back and is the perfect compromise: elegant - trendy - comfortable.
OFFICE LOOK IN A PENCIL SKIRT
After all the rain we finally had some lovely weather and although the forecast is still a bit variable, I take every opportunity to wear a skirt or a dress now. Just ignore my pale legs for the moment... slowly getting there with a little help of a selftanning lotion and hopefully some sunshine on my terrace!
I am recovering from my knee injury but I am still unable to do sports and I wear flats or medium heels most of the time. I've only worn this look with peeptoes during the photoshoot (as you can see on one of the photos). Besides my sleeveless vest (shown here and here), this pencil skirt was another purchase from H&M in a long time. Still happy with both! The length of the skirt is perfect for the office where I have worn it with a soft blouse from Mango.
MEIN ERFAHRUNGSBERICHT:
NEUTROGENA 10 TAGE-FASZIEN-PILATES-CHALLENGE *
Wie gut, dass ich
schon vor dem offiziellen Start der 10 Tage-Faszien-Pilates-Challenge von Neutrogena mit meinen Übungen anfangen konnte... Wer mir auf Instagram
folgt, hat vielleicht mitbekommen, dass mich eine Zahngeschichte
ziemlich aus der Bahn geworfen hat. Die Entzündung hatte sich zudem auf meinen Körper und mein allgemeines
Wohlbefinden ausgewirkt. Dazu kam eine Knieverletzung, offenbar vom Laufen. Erst wenn man krank ist, reflektiert man
darüber, wie selbstverständlich man es nimmt, wenn es einem gut geht!
