It’s time for a new culotte on the blog – the denim version! At the Zizzi blogger event in Berlin, we were allowed to pick a few favorites from current and (near future) coming collections – these pants caught my attention instantly and I was lucky to get the only ones in my size. I also brought another pair of jeans home with me because I really love Zizzi’s cut of jeans, they fit me best and are absolutely great.

Now this is my first styling with this special culotte and it’s also one of my favorite outfits ever because I just fell in love with the whole combination of blue, white and red with golden details (French somehow, right?). Hat, bag and boots in black round it off and the make-up is mostly neutral (I really love this lipstick, which I topped with a bit of lip gloss).

Well, that’s what I want to see when I visit a fair for plus-size fashion. I want to see modern stuff, stylish clothes. Things that skinny people would also wear. Clothes for everyone, not for the fat outsider who wants to be hidden in a ochre-colored sack with no real shape. I want something that makes my fashionista heart beat faster, something that makes me want to get creative and play around with it. Something that screams FASHION! and WEAR ME!, something that makes me look amazing and want to step outside and say: “Look at me! I’m fat AND fashionable, fat AND stylish, fat AND beautiful!” – and I’m absolutely allowed to say and feel this, just like everyone else.

So yes, this is a love declaration to Zizzi – because they don’t mean to hide fat people but to make them feel like a part of everything, of fashion and looking great. Thank you for that!

Isn’t this cape awesome? I got it last year, now it’s on sale and you can get it → here. I really like that it can be worn as a cape or poncho (just button the sleeves on or off) – I actually prefer the cape version because it makes the body shape more visible.

By the way, I’ve never been a blazer girl. They just never seem to fit me well enough and I feel that I look somehow strange in them. But this blazer cut is very cool, and together with those cape sleeves it made me buy this very special piece. :)

I went for a very business-like look, kind of androgynous with the black pants, no cleavage and the hat. I don’t wear this kind of style very often (even though I got another boyish look coming!) because I definitely prefer feminine outfits with dresses and skirts, but I really like this look on me. And you can definitely make it feminine enough with the right make-up – guess that’s where I transformed it into my own style. ;)

You can’t imagine how excited I was when I saw this dress on Instagram – I was so happy to finally find a dress that looked like the (reverse) design of my Dolce & Gabbana sunglasses’ box, which I totally love. When I bought the sunnies, the beautiful box made me so happy that it got a special place at home where I can always see it (by the way: I’m really talking about a box, not only this sunglasses case I’m using as a clutch in these pictures – but it has the same design). What I wanted to do ever since was wear a dress with the same print, together with these amazing sunnies. But only D&G had a collection with this print and we all know that there’s no chance for me to ever fit into one of their dresses, unless they do a plus-size line. ;)

Anyways: there was this afternoon when I was browsing through my Insta feed and spotted this Lindy Bop dress. I went to their online shop and ordered within a few seconds, not even thinking twice. And here we are: isn’t it perfect? I’m SO in love with it!

I wanted to create a very lady-like look with this dress, kind of 50s chic. I guess this blazer was the perfect choice because looking at the photos I feel a little “royal”, haha! ;) Of course, for fall season, I had to choose a hat that matches the whole look. And the nude sandals are my favorite souvenir from Brazil, they’re so perfect and go with almost everything, just like this outfit. I hope you like it as much as I do! :)
