Okay, “country” is a lie – that’s at the airport, but hey, doesn’t the look somehow have a country feel to it? ;) I think it’s because of the suede band and hat combo, that’s why it looks a bit like a cowboy hat. :)

So… This time, we tried something new and did an evening shoot when it was already pretty dark. That’s where the different light comes from. It also made the photos turn out a bit grainy, but I actually like this vintage look. It gives them a special touch. :)

Last time I styled this lovely skirt, I went for an elegant black and white frame around it. Today’s look with it is a bit more casual, with the beige (I actually want to stop using the word “nude” because when you really think about it, it’s rather racist because this isn’t the only “nude” that exists!) body and flats, even though they’re pretty sparkly. ;)

And we’re back with another gorgeous skirt! This is a very special piece from a lovely person named Karissa which took a loooong time to finally reach me – but that’s okay, good things always take a little longer (and it was an exception because the actual fabric – turquoise and pink – got lost on its way to Karissa and I had to choose another one), right? You can find her clothes on → etsy.
I guess I have to stop talking about my passionate love for African prints, I don’t want to bore you, so all I want to say is that this skirt is won-der-ful! Karissa was so kind to make it as a custom order for me, since she actually makes a dress out of that fabric but I wanted a skirt. :) It fits like a glove and is perfectly finished.

Of course, such an amazing skirt needs a great frame, that’s why I chose some basics in off-white and black, plus some very special killer ankle boots from Casadei, which are thrifted (but were almost unworn) and were on sale – one of my → lucky shoe sale finds. ;) These boots are incredibly comfy, even though they’re extremely high (but that’s a great bonus for dwarfy me), and don’t they just look amazeballs?
