I must admit that it’s already a bit too cold for this look – at least, the sun was shining when we took these pictures, but now there’s mostly rain and cloudy weather. Typical fall in Germany, I’d say… I guess I’ll have to do another take on this look, maybe with boots and less boobs (time for a turtleneck sweater now!). ;) But for now, I thought that this body was just perfect together with the skirt my mom made for me. It’s a very light rosé-beige and – like → this body – not easy to wear with a bra underneath. That’s why I skipped the bra again but wore a Spanx body suit which at least supports the bust from the sides. :)

I wish you all a lovely new week – I’ll have to relax a bit after last week’s crazy times at the Plus Size Fashion Days. So many amazing moments! I’ll tell you more about the event as soon as I get the photos (and the video, can’t wait to see it!). On Friday, you’ll get to see the outfit I wore at the opening party – dress code: “Black & Gold and All That Glitters”! Maybe some inspiration for Christmas and New Year’s Eve! ;)

It’s finally looking like fall on the blog, right? :) Today’s look is a tribute to my mom, who created it. The shirt and skirt are hand-sewn by her and I truly love them together (you already know the shirt, just have a look at the “style it differently” section at the end of this post!), they’re a perfect match.

Since I finally own a brown bag (yup, it was about time!), I went for a warm and soft look, adding brown details and beige shoes (matching the lipstick). Of course, black would’ve been a good choice, as always, but I think that it all harmonizes best with brown. More fall-like. ;)

I think this could be a good business look too, maybe with opaque tights and pumps instead of the platform sandals. You can also add a tailored blazer and you’re ready for your next meeting at work – and you’ll still look very feminine.
I get asked a lot to post more business styles, but since I don’t have a classic job and no experience with these kinds of outfits, I’m definitely not the best source for that. Also, I truly love experimental and extravagant looks – so please forgive me if they’re not always the go-to choice for everyday looks and office-job styles. ;) I want to share my own style, which is something different, I know, but maybe from time to time, there’s also some inspiration for a business look – just like today. ;)

Today’s post title is about the weather when we shot this look – it looked super lovely when we arrived at the location, the sun was shining and it was warm and just a bit windy (like every day in Hamburg), but suddenly the sky turned very, very dark – you can see it in the video! – and we had to hurry. The moment we finished, it started to rain cats and dogs – talk about timing, huh? ;)

Isn’t it funny that just a few days ago, a friend asked me if it’s possible to wear flat sandals with maxi skirts? I think this is the perfect answer! ;) Of course you can wear flats when you wear maxi pieces. It’s certainly true that they won’t make you look taller, but if you’re as short as I am, it doesn’t even matter. Actually, it never matters, as long as you feel good in what you’re wearing – right? And let’s be honest: flats are always more comfy, so they’re always a good choice. ;)

DEJetzt ist das Jahr schon fast rum – und das ist das letzte Outfit für 2014. Dafür hab’ ich auch ordentlich gebibbert (glücklicherweise war die Sonne wunderbar warm!), aber mit Mantel schauen die Outfits einfach nicht mehr so gut aus für die Fotos. Denkt also bitte nicht, dass ich so draußen rumlaufe – für ein paar Minuten Fotografieren geht’s grad noch so, aber dann ist der Mantel schon wieder in Sekundenschnelle bis oben geschlossen. ;)

Ihr kennt diese Bluse noch von → diesem Outfit, damals war sie noch ungefüttert. Jetzt ist sie auch wirklich fertig und ich liebe sie so, so sehr! Ich glaube, meine Mama hat nie was Schöneres und so Perfektes genäht, das ist definitiv ihr Meisterstück. :) Und weil ich die Bluse ja bereits etwas edler gezeigt habe, gibt’s heute einen etwas entspannteren Look mit Jeans.

Ich werde mich dann wohl – wie jedes Jahr – endlich mal an meinen JahresrückBLOG setzen, der sich für 2014 aber wirklich lohnt! Es ist so vieles passiert! Ich freue mich jetzt schon darauf, alles nochmal Revue passieren zu lassen. :)

ENThis year is almost over – and this is my last outfit for 2014. And I had to brave the cold for it (fortunately, the sun was wonderfully warm!), but the outfits just look way better without a coat. So please don’t think that this was my outfit for a walk through the park – I managed for a few minutes to take the photos but immediately slipped into my coat afterwards. ;)

You know this blouse from → this outfit, back then it wasn’t lined yet. Now it’s really finished and I just love it! I think my Mom has never sown anything more beautiful and this perfect, it’s definitely her masterpiece. :) And since I already showed you the blouse in a somewhat more sophisticated combination, today’s look is more casual with jeans.

As every year, I’ll start working on my end-of-year review now, which is really worth it for 2014! So much happened! I’m already looking forward to look back on the past year. :)
