After snow and rain in April, I think it’s finally safe to say that summer has arrived in Germany – sunshine, warm temperatures, ice cream and first moments at the beach. Oh, I really missed it!

Best occasion to show you my third style with the D&G dress I fell in love with a few months ago (and it’s still the love of my life!) – this time styled casually for summer with a denim jacket and my flatform sandals from the last post (such a good buy in Brazil last year!). And sunnies season is officially back again – I’m starting (well, even though it’s always sunnies time for me!) with my most precious ones, the “Spain in Sicily” from Dolce & Gabbana.

Wishing you a great week and wonderful start into summer! ♥

I’d been sneaking around this dress for a few weeks (I didn’t even try it on, just kept putting my hands on it, thinking how nice it was) – a classic. Normally, I’m not that lucky, but this time I even got it for more than 70% off. Somehow the saying is right: “Nothing haunts us more than the things we didn’t buy.” – I’m pretty sure we all know this feeling. I always keep trying to be reasonable, rethink what I’m about to shop, and most times I leave the things at the store, only to come back home and get angry at myself for not taking them home with me. Consequence: I come back and the pieces are gone. But from time to time, lucky me is even rewarded with such little specials as “last piece”, “only one in my size” (most times both) or “super sale”. Just like with this dress. Last piece, my size and a very good price. Ka-ching! ;)

Now this beautiful silk dress from See by Chloé is mine and I love it so, so much! Silk has definitely become one of my favorite fabrics. I love the feeling of barely nothing on my skin! Plus, this dress has a gorgeous print and a great cut. I love the little cut-out at the upper part of my tummy, I love the back with the long bands to knot, I love the flowing skirt – this dress is just perfect and it doesn’t need a lot of company (accessories, you know). ;) I went for black sandals and no jewelry except for my favorite Dior earrings (besides the creamy white pearls, these black marble and silver mirrored little balls are the ones I wear all the time – still, I’m looking for all-black ones or something totally different and I can’t wait to see what versions of these earrings Dior will create in the future!). My little showstopper is this bright matte lipstick from Anastasia Beverly Hills – definitely a favorite. I need to get more of those great lipsticks!

ENTalking about my new friendship with sneakers – this is definitely the second pair of very special kicks that made me fall in love with them. I’ve already posted an → “all black” outfit with my neon Superstars which made them stand out alone, but this time I tried to integrate them into a colorful look. Of course it had to be something different but still me, so I went for a floral bustier, my beloved denim joggers and – still my favorite companion – a hat. :)

I really like to get out of my comfort zone from time to time, even though sometimes this means that an outfit isn’t very flattering or makes people stare at me because they’re not used to – let’s just say it – fat people wearing something that they’re “not supposed to wear”. Fashion is about having fun, trying new stuff, new shapes and colors, sometimes following a new trend, sometimes standing against it and creating your own look. It’s not about following the so-called rules, living in a box and really believing that you’re not allowed to be wearing a piece that you’d actually really love to wear. Being fat doesn’t mean wrapping yourself up in a preferably black blanket in order to please people who don’t want to see you feeling good in your own skin. Being fat is as great and as allowed to be seen in public as being skinny.
Well, that escalated a little – I actually just wanted to say: from time to time, try something else than your “daily uniform”, you might feel just as great in it as I felt in this absolutely unusual look for me. It was comfy, colorful and still had my very own touch thanks to the hat and the make-up. ;)

DEWenn wir schon bei meiner neuen Freundschaft mit Sneakern sind – das hier ist definitiv das zweite etwas außergewöhnlichere Paar Schuhe, das mich um den Finger gewickelt hat. Ich hab’ ja bereits ein → “All Black”-Outfit mit meinen neongelben Superstars gepostet, bei dem ich sie in den Vordergrund gestellt hab’, und dieses Mal hab’ ich versucht, sie mal in einen bunten Look zu integrieren. Natürlich musste das mal wieder was ganz anderes werden, aber trotzdem “Lu” sein, also hab’ ich mich für ein Bustier mit Blumenprint, meine heißgeliebten Joggingjeans und – immer noch mein liebster Begleiter – einen Hut entschieden. :)

Ich mag es sehr, ab und zu mal aus meiner “Comfort Zone” auszubrechen, auch wenn es manchmal bedeutet, dass ein Outfit nicht sonderlich vorteilhaft ist oder die Leute dazu bringen wird, mich anzustarren, weil sie es nicht gewohnt sind – sagen wir es einfach mal – dicke Menschen zu sehen, die etwas tragen, was sie “eigentlich nicht tragen sollten”. Bei Mode geht es um Spaß, darum, neue Sachen auszuprobieren, neue Formen und Farben, auch mal einem Trend zu folgen oder auch mal darauf zu verzichten und stattdessen seinen eigenen Look zu kreieren. Es geht nicht darum, diese sogenannten Regeln zu befolgen, sich zu verstecken und wirklich zu glauben, dass es einem nicht erlaubt ist, etwas zu tragen, worauf man aber eigentlich riesige Lust hätte. Dick zu sein bedeutet nicht, sich in ein riesiges, vorzugsweise schwarzes Tuch zu wickeln, um die Leute zufriedenzustellen, die nicht sehen wollen, dass man sich in seinem Körper wohlfühlt. Dick sein ist genauso okay und darf genauso in der Öffentlichkeit gesehen werden wie dünn sein.
Okay, das ist jetzt ein bisschen ausgeartet – eigentlich wollte ich nur sagen: probiert ab und zu mal was anderes als eure “Daily Uniform” aus, denn vielleicht fühlt ihr euch darin genauso toll wie ich in diesem absolut untypischen Look für mich. Es war bequem, bunt und ich hab’ ja trotzdem auch meine eigene Note mit eingebracht, mit dem Hut und dem Make-up. ;)
