[Werbung | Advertisement – collaboration with C&A]

I proudly present: the only dress in my C&A collaboration! ;) Since the festivities are approaching, I think it’s a great idea to show you a basic but elegant style which you can easily make your own by accessorizing it your way. I’m thinking about a nice belt, a sophisticated blazer, a colorful clutch or popping shoes. I went for a complete classic look and let the dress shine alone – only combined with black patent heels and red lipstick.

I’m wearing a EU size 46, that’s why the dress could be a little tighter around my waist, but as usual, it has to fit around the hips, so I need to go a size up. But as you can see, it also works nicely without a belt and still looks beautifully fitted at the waist (and that’s something you don’t find too often in the plus-size area since brands seem to believe that when you’re fat, you don’t have a waist anymore – especially at brands who sell from 34 to e.g. 54, you can see a huge difference when you look at the “skinnier” piece and put the plus-size version next to it: the smaller size “has a waist”, the bigger one doesn’t…), so there’s no adjusting needed. ;)

[Produktplatzierung | Product Placement]

We seriously need to talk about how many pants I’ve been showing you throughout the last months. Isn’t it crazy how C&A managed to make me like jeans? So much I even ordered one by myself in their SALE section (this time, an actual skinny jeans) plus another one at → Violeta by Mango (cause it’s embellished with pearls and you know how much I love pearls!) and I can’t wait to try them on.

Today’s outfit is → recycling one of the jeans you already saw. This is not a post of our collab (→ that’s why there’s the label “product placement”) but almost the whole outfit is gifted. Everybody who attended the C&A Collection Preview event in October in Düsseldorf, got one of the #WearTheChange t-shirts (as far as I know, they’re not for sale, sorry!). They’re supposed to promote C&A’s sustainability engagement, especially cause they’re the biggest producer using organic cotton. I believe that this is pretty much a great thing to support by wearing this t-shirt and therefore being a part of the change. ;) But I’d also like to interpret this shirt my way and say that for me, “wearing the change” in terms of plus-size means to be a change by wearing whatever I like. Probably kind of a challenge for some: tucking your t-shirt in your jeans. ;) I dare you to change and try it! ;)

Today’s outfit has a funny story behind the look – cause these aren’t my own clothes! :)

I’ve been following Katharina for a long time and always swooning over her photos, she’s an amazing photographer from Koblenz and when I was in Düsseldorf a few weeks ago, we managed to do a super quick shoot together before I had to leave for the airport. I’m incredibly happy that we finally met and had the chance to take some pictures!

Since my wardrobe is still very limited, she brought some of her own clothes so we could do one very different look. I mean: especially that jacket is something I’d never buy on my own cause I’d believe that it’s not my style but I actually love it! Especially in combination with that lovely dress!

You see: sometimes, it’s cool to let someone else dress you up (or at least get some different ideas from a friend or so) and give new things a chance. ;)

Here it is, the last look of this year’s → #BeachBodyNotSorry project. I’m very sorry and actually pretty sad that I couldn’t provide more different photos and styles but due to my current situation (no beaches, no actual photographer, plus: I was too sad during the summer months) this is all I could do. Now, it’s getting too cold for beach looks but as we all know: next year there’ll be a new summer season and I’m looking forward to new chances and new styles for my most favorite project of the year. :)

Since it’s already pretty cold and also a little bit weird to pose just in a swimsuit on the middle of the street in a small village, I decided to create a pool party look by adding a long kimono and high heels.

This swimsuit might be one of my absolute favorites. I love the print which is kind of watercolor-like. I also love the cut and the fit – even though this is a piece from H&M’s regular collection and “only” EU size 42. Sometimes, it’s worth a try to go for smaller sizes, especially because swimwear is very elastic. Of course, it shouldn’t cut into your skin but I’ve learned that swimwear does not always have to be chosen in your regular size. So that’s just a tip from my side. ;)
