It’s getting cozy again! Today’s look is super comfy and perfect for those rainy and snowy days before Christmas! :) All you need is a leggings, a sparkling sweater (love the two-in-one look with that sheer part below!) and a warm coat. This one was a huge surprise cause it is the most amazing (short) coat I’ve ever owned and I’ve already been using it so often – it’s definitely my favorite piece of this year’s winter season. As usual, most of the pieces are already sold out online, but again, I want to let you know that checking the shop more often is totally worth it, especially on Sunday evening – seems like they update their stock around that time. ;)

Today’s outfit post is a special one – I’m pretty sure not everyone is willing to wear blue metallic lipstick. ;) But it kind of felt like a thing I had to do, especially because it has the exact same color as the dress. It’s like a sign, right?

I love the kind of vintage touch this silk dress has, even though – as usual – I must say, that I actually hate silk. There’s no worse fabric and yet it looks so wonderfully elegant and sophisticated. I mean, look at the backside of the dress! It’s such an amazing piece. My mom had to shorten the sleeves, though, cause my arms are always to short for anything and those bell sleeves were a little over the top. ;) 

I decided to go for antique gold accessories (thanks to the gray day, you can’t see their holographic shimmer) which work perfectly with the silver tiara. Let me say: I kind of feel like a modernized version of some Game of Thrones princess. ;) And well… Winter is coming, haha!

I proudly present: the only dress in my C&A collaboration! ;) Since the festivities are approaching, I think it’s a great idea to show you a basic but elegant style which you can easily make your own by accessorizing it your way. I’m thinking about a nice belt, a sophisticated blazer, a colorful clutch or popping shoes. I went for a complete classic look and let the dress shine alone – only combined with black patent heels and red lipstick.

I’m wearing a EU size 46, that’s why the dress could be a little tighter around my waist, but as usual, it has to fit around the hips, so I need to go a size up. But as you can see, it also works nicely without a belt and still looks beautifully fitted at the waist (and that’s something you don’t find too often in the plus-size area since brands seem to believe that when you’re fat, you don’t have a waist anymore – especially at brands who sell from 34 to e.g. 54, you can see a huge difference when you look at the “skinnier” piece and put the plus-size version next to it: the smaller size “has a waist”, the bigger one doesn’t…), so there’s no adjusting needed. ;)

[Produktplatzierung | Product Placement]

We seriously need to talk about how many pants I’ve been showing you throughout the last months. Isn’t it crazy how C&A managed to make me like jeans? So much I even ordered one by myself in their SALE section (this time, an actual skinny jeans) plus another one at → Violeta by Mango (cause it’s embellished with pearls and you know how much I love pearls!) and I can’t wait to try them on.

Today’s outfit is → recycling one of the jeans you already saw. This is not a post of our collab (→ that’s why there’s the label “product placement”) but almost the whole outfit is gifted. Everybody who attended the C&A Collection Preview event in October in Düsseldorf, got one of the #WearTheChange t-shirts (as far as I know, they’re not for sale, sorry!). They’re supposed to promote C&A’s sustainability engagement, especially cause they’re the biggest producer using organic cotton. I believe that this is pretty much a great thing to support by wearing this t-shirt and therefore being a part of the change. ;) But I’d also like to interpret this shirt my way and say that for me, “wearing the change” in terms of plus-size means to be a change by wearing whatever I like. Probably kind of a challenge for some: tucking your t-shirt in your jeans. ;) I dare you to change and try it! ;)
