Oh, silk dresses – it’s a love-hate relationship. On the one hand, there’s nothing more pleasant to wear. On the other hand, silk’s the worst of all materials when it comes to wrinkles (short quote from one of my Instagram live chats when I wore the dress: “Silk is the asshole of all fabrics.” – true that.). Hello iron, my best friend! :D

Anyways – I love the colors of this striped dress and I also love the length. Instead of using the actual belt (the dress comes with a matching thin silk band), I opted for something more special: my Gucci crossbody bag which I changed into a fanny pack. :) Definitely more fashion, right?

About the shoes – I never thought that I’d ever own golden shoes, especially not loafers, but when I saw them, I kind of had to buy them. And today’s look was just perfect for their first time on the road. ;)

This is a look that I completely planned in my head and really hoped that it’d turn out as amazing as I saw it when putting the pieces together in my mind – and I’d say: yes, it did!

It’s probably one of those looks that you wouldn’t expect from me, but I like to surprise as much as I like to do all those obvious dress looks – not only you but also myself. And I must say that this surprise turned out to be a golden ticket for me: I love this look so much, especially because of those pants! They’re fake leather but so incredibly soft and great to wear – if you’re looking for some perfect quality fake leather pants, you HAVE TO try these. I know they’re pretty expensive, but they’re worth every cent (and also available in black)!

I’m a big fan of how these fall colors work together – we have the brown pants, a greyish white lace blouse, a dark purple and brown jacket and the shoes in a very dark brown shade – and all those colors look absolutely great in combination! I liked the combo so much, I even had to recreate it for my make-up. ;) Love the dramatic look with the smoky eyes and matte lips (for which I mixed three different liquid lipsticks for the perfect shade and some ombré). :)

I finally found a piece with bell sleeves that I really like: this heavy knit dress is absolutely amazing! It’s not only the sleeves – I’m in love with the fabric, the cut, the back, the color. Definitely an awesome piece for fall and something to reveal a darker side of me. ;) It’s not that dark, but I think that the whole look is something different. I really love it!

First, I wanted to add a belt, but then I had this idea: why not just draw some attention to the middle with a brooch, why not “misuse” it and wear a brooch instead of a belt? And I must say that I’m absolutely amazed by my idea and how cool it looks. I mean, it’s the same as wearing a statement belt, as wearing a belt from Chanel, but with the funny fact that it’s just the buckle. ;)
I’m not 100% happy with the boots, though. It was really hard to find shoes to wear with this dress and I really don’t know why! Maybe you’ve got an idea which shoes could be a better match (I was thinking about → these, but they didn’t look good)?
