Winter Shopping Spree

As I told you lovely peoples in my previous post: I went shopping last tuesday and I bought lots of awesome stuff! A little sidenote to avoid confusion: Yes, my hair is shorter in these pictures but I glued it back together for the next outfit posts. No okay that's not true. :-D I got my hair cut last friday but I still have at least 3 outfits with my longer hair that I haven't posted yet so my hair will magically grow withing the next two posts. I had been fantasizing about shorter hair for a while and I'm more of a do-er than a waiter when it comes to hair stuff. I always think 'Ah well, it'll grow back." Everytime I try to grow my hair out I get bored and realise that long hair is just not my thing. It looks fine but I feel more like 'myself' with shorter hair. It's spunky and punky and I love it.  Now the clothes!


This is one of the two coats I bought, it's really warm and it has shoulderpads. Normally I kind of dislike shoulderpads but I've grown accustomed to them and I actually like it in certain coats and jackets. It gives some coats more structure and shape, like with this one!
This is the second coat, leather! I love these kinds of Matrix coats. I always think they're so sexy and mysterious :-D. This one fits perfectly, I can easily wear a jumper underneath this coat and I often have the problem with leather coats that, while the fit might be great, you don't have any 'wiggle room' so to speak. 
It first had HUGE puffy sleeves attached to it but as soon as I got home I reached for the scissors and cut them off. The dress is such a beautiful color, I love the print and the fabric too. And now it's much more wearable! It could be taken in a couple of centimeters to fit perfectly but I'm not sure whether I need to do that or not. Maybe the kind of loose fit is charming? I almost always wear belts with my dresses so it's not really an issue.
Now the skirts!
This is almost a pencil skirt, it fits like a dream and the colors are just perfection. Yellow/orange with purple is always amazing! It ends a coule of centimeters below the knee and I love it so much!
This one ends exactly under the knees and I love the gorgeous colors. The red stripes are actually more of a pinkish color in real life and the base color is a lovely dark gray.
This color is just stunning and the shape of the skirt is divine. All thick, wool skirts by the way, so absolutely perfect for winter and colder fall and spring days! I'm in love with all the skirts! All highwaisted, of course!


This one looks a bit sacky on the hanger but trust me: nothing could be less true. It fits me like a glove and when something fits a curvy girl like a glove it instantly adds lots of sex appeal to the dress. I love the square neckline, the color and the little festive detail! I know what I'll be wearing at my christmas party! :-D But do remind me to iron this dress before wearing it to the party.

Okay this one might be slightly mad but it looks incredibly cute on me, trust me! It's so adorably country princess like. I'm not sure what to do with the sleeves though. I might cut off the weird lower part of the sleeve but I'm kind of liking the idea of the dress completely sleeveless too. 
Now the jumpers!
This one is really big, thick and cosy. I'll be wearing it A LOT in the colder time of the year, trust me! The colors are so adorably snowy, I couldn't not take it with me!

I fell for this one because of the little collar and the crazy ass colors. If there's anything that catches my eye, it's crazy ass colors. It also made me want to dye my hair green, red and purple. That'd look awesome together.
Again, these colors are gorgeous. I love browns and reds together, you get a little warmer by just looking at it! It's shorter and more fitted than the last two, fitting like a dream and also wonderfully warm!
This is an actual army sweater. It's incredibly warm and thick but it also fits perfectly! And I love this color. It's the color of my eyes! :-D It has shoulder and elbow patches!
Now, last but not least, my crazy old woman punk blazer!
Including shoulderpads! I'm contemplating whether to take out the shoulderpads though, I'm not sure yet. If you have any advice about taking out the shoulderpads or not, or cutting of the sleeves of my plaid dress, let me know! And well, while I'm here I can post my outfit of the day too!
How do you lovely creatures like my new clothes? And my darker eyebrows? :-D

Let the sunshine in

The day I wore this outfit... the weather was inredible. I didn't need a jacket, the sun was shining and there was a nice crisp breeze that I love in spring and fall. Most of the time I love mixing up my colors and prints but sometimes I just love to be comfy and feminine and twirly. And when I want to be all those things, I go for sneakers, dresses and a cool belt. And tights of course, when it's a little chilly. I don't know how often I've said it but MAN this indian summer is well, good and very long! It has hardly rained and the cloudiness was very minimal, especially for Belgium! And it's already november. It's crazy man, just crazy. I don't mind it! But I remember it was already snowing around this time last year. So weird. My hair is dyed differently by the way but in the coming posts they'll still be old and muddy :-D. I'll try to work through these outfits a little quicker because I'm curious about what you guys will think of mah new do. Also, my hair is getting really long. I don't mind it but once in a while I dream about all the cute short hairdo's I used to have. I really love the feeling of the wind in my neck and ears, is that weird? :-D I just remember that, when coming from the hairdresser. jumping on my bike, I always loved the feeling of the wind. Oh well, I might go to the hairdresser one of these weeks. Not to get a super short do but I might get my hair a little tweaked here and there. Shorter at the back, perhaps.
Hope you're having a wonderful day and have fun in the weekend!
