I already wrote about → my visit to the Curvy® plus-size fair, today I’ve got my outfit for you. I went for a special but casual look – instead of wearing black (which is the most-seen color at such events), I wanted to show some color (remember my resolutions for 2016? Take this as an example! ;)), that’s why I chose my favorite skirt ever, the “Eyoma” skirt from Dearcurves – and it was a major success at the fair, everyone loved it! If you want to get your own skirt, you can order it → here and by using the discount code queen20, you’ll get 20% off! ;)

When I last wore the skirt, I went for the actual lookbook look and paired it with the “Eyoma” body with a traditional Ankara print, so this time I dug up a veeeery old piece out of my closet. The body is from the 2009 “Divided Exclusive” collection (and it’s size EU 40, still fits without any problems!), so you see: sometimes keeping things and wearing them again is worth it – I think that’s a great match!

For the casual look, I had to choose flats. Since it doesn’t matter which kind of flat shoes you wear for about 6 hours of standing and walking around (your feet will always hurt afterwards, as did mine), I did something that’s quite unusual for me: I wore sneakers. But of course not without being fabulous and picking my sequined Chucks – had to be sparkling. :) I’m normally totally against that mixture, but somehow I really loved the combo of those glittering shoes with the rather elegant look. And it shows that you can wear this skirt like that – casually – too.

This is the world’s most beautiful skirt – without exceptions and any need for discussion! :) I love everything about it: the cut, the color, the fabric and mostly how perfectly it fits and how great it looks with the matching body of last year’s “Eyoma” collection by Dearcurves.

My love for African prints continues and I hope there will be many for me this year. I’m always looking for great modern looks to wear. :)
Dearcurves created a great collection – especially the wax print bodysuit is a very cool twist on the typical somehow hard fabrics, as the pattern was printed on a stretchy bodysuit. I’m absolutely sure that you’ll see both pieces again this year – combined differently. And I can’t wait to wear this skirt again when it’s a bit warmer. At the moment, to be honest, this is not the best outfit choice, since it’s very cold (winter strikes again!), but as always: this is an inspiration – you can always make it your own look by adding or removing some pieces. Feel free to be creative! ;)

DEIhr erinnert euch bestimmt an → letzten Sommer, als ich euch von meiner Liebe zu afrikanischen Prints erzählt habe – zusammen mit diesem Rock (und → einem Kleid). Heute gibt’s ein neues Styling damit und direkt eine zweite große Liebe: den Turban. Seit ein paar Wochen probiere ich immer mehr mit den Tüchern auf meinem Kopf aus und liebe es wirklich sehr, ihr werdet also noch einige Varianten von “Head Wraps” zu sehen bekommen. Dieses Mal ist es eigentlich ein Loop-Schal, bei dem ich es glücklicherweise irgendwie hinbekommen habe, da Ding so zu knoten und festzustecken, dass er wirklich so gehalten hat. Sonst sollte man aber wohl wirklich lieber zu Tüchern (am besten quadratische) greifen. Ich bin kein Tutorial-Talent, daher verweise euch für Anleitungen an YouTube. ;) Sollte ich es aber mal irgendwie hinbekommen, ein ordentliches Video zu drehen, werde ich es natürlich posten – versprochen!

ENYou probably remember → last summer when I told you that I’m in love with African prints – wearing this skirt (and a → dress). Today, I’ve got a new styling with it for you, and a new love: the turban. For some weeks, I’ve been trying out new styles with scarves on my head and I’m really obsessed with them, so you’re definitely going to see more head wraps up here. :) This time, I managed to wrap, knot and pin a loop scarf around my head. Don’t ask me how! Normally, you should use simple scarves (preferably square ones). I’m not good at tutorials, so I refer you to YouTube (there are many tutorials for different styles!), but whenever I do my own tutorial, I’ll post it – promise!
