An Old Flame Never Dies #3

 Sweater: Mango (5 years old)

Plaid Blouse: Zara (3 years old)

Skirt: Promod (3 years old)

Boots: Vintage (over 30 years)

Bag: Fries & Company (2 years old)

Sunnies: Esprit ( 0,5 year old)

I did it again, I was shopping in my closet and it didn't pay a penny :-D. This time I found this super cute sweater with its fine puffy detailing on the shoulder, two lil pockets and those red buttons that I got in Budapest when I was studying there back in 2008. It was the best time ever and great memories arouse and warmed my heart when I hold it in my hand again :-)
Ok, when I tell you that those brand new vintage patch boots, that were a gift from my ex bf's mom (she got them in the 70's and never wore them), went to seed in my basement for probably 7 years and got super moldy, they were in laundry detergent powder water for a week hahaha. What was I thinking to leave them there? Anyhow, they forgived me and grace my shoe closet since then. They are so unique and I haven't seen anybody with similar boots so far.
Hope you like with what I came up with?

If you wanna see my previous oldies but goodies looks click here and here.
I would love to encourage my blogger friends to reshop their closet, so far Krista, Jenny and Suzanne joined my series and I am super excited what you will come up with. If you wanna participate, let me know!

Dress: H&M

Tights: H&M

Bag: Belmondo

Wedgies: Zara

Jacket: Orsay

Necklace: H&M

I knew I got a lot of use of this dress when I spottet it at H&M. I wore it already a la country style see (here ). This time I styled it in a more chicer way with my black suede wedgies and added a playful touch with the dots tights, aren't they cute as hell? The pink necklace gives it a colourful nice finish.

Big and little dots

Coat: Zara (5 years old)

Pants: Asos (new)

Pumps: Boutique in Budapest ( 4 years old)

Sweater: Romwe

Bag: Chanel

I spotted this pants on a blogger and added it in the same breath to my asos bag. Isn't it super cute with the bigger dots in the front and the little dots in the back? It can be styled in so many ways. Paired with the striped sweater and the elegant and classic white coat it definitely appears feminine and chic.

Have a lovely start in the week and thank you so much for your lovely support :-)

Diy Project. Painting on canvas with acrylic

 If you want to make somebody's day and looking for a great gift, paintings on canvas is a great idea. I find so much pleasure in painting. I usually don't have the time for it or lack of inner inspiration but sometimes it just overcomes me and I need to grab a brush and give my creativity full scope. It was like that on sunday where I did this painting for one of my besties for her birthday. All you need is some labels from wine bottles, glue, some colours in white, green and oxblood, that's it well maybe some skills too hehe ;-)

 Referring to the costs is pretty inexpensive but the outcome is priceless. I'd always loved to give my loved ones sth special and painting is where I put my love into.

In Vino Veritas- In wine there is truth

Do you enjoy those kind of posts? If yes maybe I will do some more paintings. I will probalby share the paintings I have done so far with you in the near future :-)

I am a huge country music fan, a passion that my american boyfriend has roused in me, it is just something that connects us. And serisously what would be country music without cowboy boots? They just belong together like a "butt on a bucket"- German idiom for the pot needs the lid ;-)
Got those vintage cowboy boots with lovely detailing from a vintage store on ebay and I just LOVE them. Paired with my super cute laced dress and that checked blouse I am ready for some good old country music  YEEHAW! :-) I even listen to it in the office and driving my coworkers nuts hahahaha, that's passion, huh? ;-) I just have the feeling when I listen to it, that my boyfriend is with me and not over 6000 miles away from me, ok I better stop with my lovey dovey NOW :-).
What are your favourite country songs if at all hahaha? Let me know so I can check them out.
Thanks and hope you enjoy this look!

"An Old Flame Never Dies" # 2

Hat: H&M (7 years old)

Fur Cardigan : Zara (8years old) 

Skirt: H&M (11 years old)

Bag: Vintage (30 years old)

Boots: C&A (8 years old)

 

 

Yeah as you can see winter hit Germany with some sweet snow :-).......
Anna-Lena- my sweet and talented photographer and sis of choice summoned me after I was shivering from the cold and making really weird grimaces in the cam to stopp being a pussy and making my viewers assume that I am having fun  IOI (yeah right) :-D. How smart she is with her 14. Anyways this shoot was done in less than 2 minutes in our garden:  Grith your teeth and get to it with a SMILE hehehe ;-)

Oh how I loved this paid skirt back in high school. I wore it all the time and then it got lost in my parents wardrobe for probably the last 8 years. It has classic and timeless checked pattern and colours -especially elements of burgundy THE fall colour this seasonn. Combined with different brown hues I am forearmed for the winter. I think faux fur and checked pattern will never go out of fashion, this cardigan with the faux fur collar is on heavy rotation ever since I got it  8 years ago :-)

My outfit doesn't look old at all, huh? If you wanna participate in my series (click #1 to see the 1st look of this series) and wanna show us your oldtimer but goodies, let me know :-)
Krista from junggindiggingettinglost started it last tuesday here

Patterned on repeat

Blazer: Zara

Top: Zara

Pants: H&M

Necklace: H&M

Pumps: Fabiani

Bowling Bag: Belmondo

Belt: Mango

 

 

I just love the versatility of those diamond patterned pants. Depending on the occasion they can be dressed up and down. Click here to see how I styled them in a more streetstyle way.
This time I styled them office appropriate by adding those leather buckle pumps that I reshoped in my closet (6 years old MIAUH) and that lovely tailored black blazer. I just love how that hunting green ads that splash of colour to my look in an elegant way. The bubble necklace gives that statement and playful touch.
As a business laywer specialised in employee law and Human Resources Management working for a young and dynamic company its inevitable to exude modernity- in my opinion anyways :-)
Whosoever said that office clothes have to be boring will be disabused!

The view on the Alps, lake constance and the castle of my older apartment in Heiligenberg :-)

Having an overfilled closet and some serious high payments that need to be done on my student loans plus my recent broken car for the next half year, I came up with the idea of starting a series "oldies but goodies". Remixing older clothes that has been in my wardrobe for several years and maybe decades that still can be trendy :-)
Sometimes I have the feeling that bloggers are fighting to be the very first one to show off the latest trends or newest articles that were brought out. That might be appealing to those one who have a pretty big budget and no financial duties but for somebody as me who has to pay off stuff it's not possible. I want to encourage my lovely readers to be creative and rethink styling possiblities with some oldies. That is not only a fun challenge but your bank account will highly appreciate it ;-)

What I love about fall is LAYERING and pulling off my looks with opaque tights, overknee socks and boots. Digging out my 3 year old plaid skirt is my loyal signifcant companion during the fall/winter season and that every year. Checked pattern are absolutely timeless and can be combined with a variety of different colours. I picked up the colour palette that is  used  in my skirt and build my look around these colours. The hat and the ruffles on my blouse give it a fun and playful and vintage touch...

How do you like to deal with older items? Do you consider them to rewear them over the years or clear your clothes out every season?

PS: In the next days I will ask some of my blogger friends to participate in that series, I will link them on my blog and that will be so much fun. So stay tune or let me know who wants to participate.  I will contact you then :-)
