I promised you to style a real outfit with the shirt. Here it is! And it’s been one of your absolute favorites on → Instagram. :) That’s why I’m very happy to show you even more pictures of the look.

Not only the Beth Ditto x Jean Paul Gaultier shirt has been a hit, but also the tulle skirt from Scarlett & Jo, which actually isn’t a real tulle skirt (and that’s why I love it even more). It’s a regular black skirt with a net layer on it. That’s what makes it even more special and gives it a more sophisticated look (instead of being too princess-like). The elastic waist band runs a little bit small, I’m wearing size UK 14/16 and since I’m more of a 16, one size up would be a bit more comfortable. So if you tend to be the bigger size of the two, you should consider buying a size up. ;)
Talking about the shirt – this is a 1XL and you’ve already seen it → here in full bloom. :) When I chose the skirt, I instantly had the idea to wear it with the corset tee because I think that the combination is just perfect. It also gives the shirt a very different look and I think it’s even more interesting like that. But of course it’s also great with leggings or your favorite jeans – and it even looks amazing on men! My blogger friend → Claus shows us in his post how he rocks that corset print! :)

I still have a few fall looks that I haven’t posted yet, so even though it’s already almost winter here, I don’t want to leave them unposted on my PC (by the way: yes, I do work on a PC, not a laptop – guess I’m not a typical blogger, huh?). Maybe where you live it’s still warm enough to use them as inspiration, and if not, just be creative and make them work for you (maybe with other boots, warm tights and a beanie?) or save them for next year. ;) There’s always a way! :)

That’s one of my #ruebabe looks I created with my surprise package from → Rue 107 – and again kind of a challenge, since cropped is not really the best choice in fall. But as I said: there’s always a way, and mine was to wear it with a chunky wool cardigan – cozy and warm, so don’t worry about the small stripe of skin! ;)

To be honest, I never would have chosen this skirt by myself – I’m not that “food on my clothes” kind of person, so my first thought was to just wear the shirt and store the skirt somewhere in my closet. But when I tried it on (I always do that before deciding – because everything [and everyone!!!] deserves a chance, and even though you may sometimes think that a piece isn’t made for you and won’t look good, it might become your best friend!), I really liked it. It’s cute and actually looks so nice in that combination (and especially the scenario with the colorful fallen leaves!), that I wouldn’t want to give it away! ;)

That’s the last outfit we got to shoot before Hamburg decided to switch into rain mode for, like, forever. The moment I stood in position, ready to shoot, it was like the world decided to show us how much rain was saved in those dark clouds. People walking by the bus stop in front of me (and those sitting in the buses – hello!) must have thought that I’m totally insane, but work is work, right? After the shooting I felt like I had been dipped in a pool backwards – got a hot cup of tea at home and wrapped myself up on the couch. So obviously what I said a few posts ago really happened: more rain, more wind, more darkness and more “I don’t want to go outside!” – and why should I? To get soaked, catch a cold and stay alone at home in bed with loads of tea and medicine? I don’t think so! Let’s hope for some better weather soon, I’d love to shoot again next weekend! :)

Today, I’ve got an idea for a party look for New Year’s Eve for you. Last time going outside with bare legs. I hope that you all will party inside most of the time if you wear such an outfit, cause I know now what it feels like to get into the typical bad weather on NYE (at least I don’t know other weather that night, I guess all my life it was raining at midnight…) – and you don’t want to do this, believe me. :) You better pack an extra pair of warm boots, haha! ;)

Anyways: Christmas and NYE are the best time to shine and sparkle, that’s why I got this dress and paired it with some fun blue heels. Since it’s definitely going to be cold outside (that’s a fact, unless you’re celebrating at the beach – and I’m already jealous!), I added a fuzzy jacket and fixed it with a belt. Of course, it makes me look like a tiny thick teddy bear, but I guess everybody looks a bit fatter in such jackets, right? And it’s about having fun with your clothes and I definitely like the combination – it’s a statement! But as the dress looks great alone, you’ll get to see a few pictures of me freezing in the rain, just for you. And please excuse the poor quality of the pictures, it got darker and darker with every click. Sad story, I really wanted to shine but had no chance against the clouds… :(

ENFrom time to time, I like to wear outfits that obviously are a little provocative – not for me, but for others. This one caused some discussion on Instagram whether it’s okay that you can see my nipples or not (actually, the body is a little see-through but no nipple alarm, I promise!) and that underwear may only be worn in your bedroom (seriously?!). Well, I’ll leave it like that – because I really loved wearing this outfit. :) It made me feel sexy but in a very casual way.
We shot this outfit after a visit to my hairdresser and I’m very happy about the different hairdo in these pictures. I wish I could do this but I’m all fingers and thumbs when it comes to hair styling… You can’t be a pro at everything, right? ;)

DEAb und zu trage ich wohl gerne Outfits, die ein bisschen provokant sind – zwar nicht für mich, aber für andere. Dieses hier hat eine Diskussion bei Instagram ausgelöst, bei der es darum ging, ob es okay ist, dass man meine Nippel sehen kann oder nicht (der Body ist zwar leicht transparent, aber ich schwöre, dass es keinen Nippelalarm gab!) und dass Unterwäsche nur ins eigene Schlafzimmer gehört (ernsthaft?!). Ich lass’ das jetzt einfach mal so stehen – denn ich hab’ das Outfit wahnsinnig gern getragen. :) Ich hab’ mich darin ziemlich sexy gefühlt, aber auf eine ganz lässige Art und Weise.
Wir haben das Outfit nach meinem Besuch beim Friseur geshootet und ich freue mich sehr, auf den Bildern mal ein anderes Haarstyling zu tragen. Ich wünschte, ich würde das auch hinkriegen, aber irgendwie bin ich absolut unfähig, wenn es um Frisuren geht… Man kann ja nicht für alles ein Profi sein, oder? ;)
