Fur and frill

I really like black because it is classic and appropriate for anything but I need bright colours in my life as well, especially on gloomy days like today, so it was about time I brought this light blue dress into action. I bought it during sale season and I have been waiting for the weather to get warmer in order to use it but now that it seems to have taken a turn towards winter again, I decided that with some layering it would be ideal for taking away the cloudy days blues. 

And to take it a step further instead of my typical big bag for everyday use, I decided to use my furry clutch bag. The good thing is that it is big enough to carry everything I might need and it is just adorable :)

Flowers, sparkles and beads

You probably have noticed that bomber jackets are having a big moment as a trend. Although I was tempted to buy one the past months, I hadn't found anything available on my size that I would be excited about. However on my sale scavenger hunt I came across this one and I really liked it because of the print. I tried it on and I felt it fit well and of course having to pay just 1/3 of the original price helped me make up my mind pretty fast. Let's hope the weather will keep fresh for a little while so that I can get to wear it a few times before the summer comes ;)

Sparkles and polka dots

We have reached the point that tights are highly recommended in order to avoid freezing your legs and feet off when wearing a dress. The great thing is that in the past years it has become a trend to wear tights with textures, colours and designs so that means you can keep warm and create an interesting look at the same time. Take this almost all-black look: the polka dots tights give it a certain edge combined with the accents of the accessories.

Shirt dress and Dalí

I have been wanting to buy a shirt dress for quite some time now but I hand't really found something that I really liked. And then one day that I hadn't even planned on going shopping I found it out the blue, at the back of the store and available on my size. Some fashion stories are just meant to be, don't you think? 

• White and light blue striped shirt dress with belt/black socks: H&M
• Silver pointy flatforms: ASOS
• Clutch bag with Salvador Dalí print: MIRACLES CO.

Beatles and tulle

The tulle skirt and the high knot bun may scream ballet but the print t-shirt, the ankle boots and the dark lips are rock and roll. I love mixing elements from different styles and creating an outfit that doesn't belong to any specific category. This is what personal style is all about after all, isn't it?

• Beige tulle skirt: H&M
• Denim jacket: ASOS CURVE

Seriously mood

For those days that you feel you don't want to try too hard with your outfit, try an all-black outfit. Maybe just add an accent to your look with some colour and create a mood. I decided to make my all-black look special by giving it an 80s vibe using a yellow bandana on my wavy hair and fuchsia lips :)

Earrings for the evil eye

The evil eye is something that is believed to exist in Greek culture and in order to protect themselves from it, people wear eye shaped stones. I don't know if it exists or not but just to be on the safe side I am glad I was given as a gift these beautiful earrings which serve a double purpose: protection from the evil eye and an accessory that will make your outfit special and get the attention.  This is my last blog post as a girl in her twenties so I want to share some thoughts with you:

You don't need to be rich to be stylish. Also you don't need to buy clothes every week to create new looks, just buy pieces that can be easily combined with other pieces in your closet. Accessories can really make something special out of your low budget look.  

I'll be back soon with my first outfit as a 30-year-old woman!

Flowers and poetry

Today is a non working Monday here (how great is that??) and the temperature is up so the day calls for leggings and sneakers.

Sweaters and coats

Winter here is like a roller coaster: in the same day it can get from 3 to 20 degrees Celsius and in the same week we can get days where the temperature climbs to 30 degrees. So it can be tricky to know how to get dressed. All types of clothing have to be available and ready to go at any time. However coming from a city where winter means low temperatures throughout, I do enjoy the days where the sweaters and coats get to be used!

• Skinny jeans/black socks: PRIMARK
• Silver pointy flatforms: ASOS
• Black coat: ASOS CURVE
