Back in Pastel

Hat: H&M; Blazer: Zara similar ; Top: Mango:Jeans: H&M similar; Heels: BCBG Max Azria similar; Bag: Carbotti bag

Sometimes I don't have the whole outfit in my mind. It's more of a process where I pick an item to build the outfit around it. In today's blogpost I knew I wanted to wear something pastel and this shirt that was sitting in my closet for years. The neutral leather patch details in that shirt inspired me to add that bohemian hat. I paired it with this distressed jeans for a soft yet bold look.

I would also like to point out that you don't have to purchase new clothes all the time to be trendy. None of these items I 'm wearing today have been bought recently. That blazer is probably 4 years in my blazer collection and that shirt I got 6 years ago. It's more of recreating your outfit with items you already have in your wardrobe.

Elegant in forest green and mint for under 100€

 Blazer, Dress, Tights, Gloves: H&M

Belt: Mango

Heels: Deichmann

Bag: Boutique

Necklace: F21

Did you ever build your outfit upon your heels? That's what I did when it comes to the colours.
I absolutely discovered my love for green hues last year and can't wait to combine emerald with the spring colour mint in so many different ways. Can you imagine that I got the dress and gloves for only 10€ each and the super cute leather heels for 13€? To give it an unexpected pop of colour I decided to go with my burgundy tights and belt and adore the outcome of the crispy clean classic look- the 3 C's hahaha ;-)

PS: I am so sorry I am just posting once a week recently, need to go back to the hospital on tuesday and lacking time to blog and comment on each blog but I guarantee, I am reading yours for sure, so that you know I didn't forget you. Can't wait to be back to normal! Thank you for your patience!

In case you didn't know, Google reader will shut down their business by July, so it would be great if you have been following me on GFC so far to switch to Bloglovin. That would be so much appreciated :-)

TOP 2+1 Office Chic

 I’m linking up with Amy over at Fashion & Beauty Finds to show you my “Top 3” outfits from January.  Make sure you visit her blog to get inspired by all the other amazing and beautiful bloggers out there.

Outfit No. 1

Cooperating sparkling items in the office attire can dust off the conservative sidecompletely. The pleated skirt and the silk scarf gives the ensemble an elegant and chic finish. I am super happy how versatile that dress can be styled and will you show different possibilities in the near future.

3 in 1 remix: Patterned Pants

Blazer: H&M

Pants: H&M

Turtle Neck: H&M

Boots: Buffalo

Purse: Chanel

Headband: H&M

Necklace: H&M

Ring: Pilgrim

1. red splash 2. patterned on repeat 

 

Those diamond patterned pants are my probably on of my latest obsession probably due to the fact that I had nothing this patterned in my closet, until I found these pants. Since I purchased it, I've had a hard time finding pieces it does not go with :-)
I just love the versatility of those pants. Depending on the occasion it can be dressed up and down. In the previous posts I gave it a streetstyle touch with the short red blazer and a more office appropriate appearance paired with a fresh green shade blazer as you can see in the remix above. My flower headband and the silver necklace are the perfect feminine pieces to add some sparkle and girlyness to my look.


PS: These are second last pictures that were taken from Anna-Lena before I decided to go brunette. Will share my pics from the USA with you soon, I promise but didn't want to withhold this look from you guys :-)

Back to the blogger world/belated Review of 2012

After 4 weeks of vacation I am back and it feels great to sleep in my own bed again and having time to do normal stuff, like blogging and going to the gym. Let me tell you, also it was so great to see my bf and my family, that travelling totally exhausted me (Friedrichshafen-Frankfurt-DC-South Carolina-Sarasota-Miami- all the way back and then in Germany: Frankfurt-Cologne-Bielefeld-Hannover-Augsburg-Ulm- Friedrichshafen) and carrying all that heavy stuff with me ( I had to leave 10 pounds at the D.C airport with my bf) and carried all that luggage with me to my parents as I went directly form the airport to see them, absolutely screwed my back. I need to see the chiropratctor today as I feel my bones are not in the position where they should be.
Nevertheless, I intended to do a review before I left mid december but didnt find the time to do a collage of  my favourite looks of 2012, so here it is, I hope you enjoy and let me know which outfits were your favourites from each season? :-)
