It was really hard to find a post title for today’s look. I chose “Broadcast” because I wore this outfit on Monday when I was live on the radio. I did a short interview for WDR Funkhaus Europa and had my own little studio at NDR Hamburg, which was a funny experience because the radio interviews I did before were all on the phone and now I was invited to the studio but it was only for me – yet we were connected through the stations. Unfortunately, it seems there is no podcast, but let me tell you: it’s nothing new. I answered a few questions about me and the blog, plus size in Germany and what’s my wish for the future of all plus-size bloggers here. I still hope the answers were interesting for everyone who didn’t know me and the blog (and our plus-size blogosphere) yet, and if you came here because of the show – welcome! :)

About my look: this dress is officially a → “Curvy Tall” dress from Scarlett & Jo, but since I love midi dresses or even calf-length dresses, I was like “who cares?” and as you can see, the choice wasn’t bad. Usually, when I buy longer dresses, they’re instantly maxi dresses (but with a weird length), and even though this isn’t a problem for me, I sometimes wish I were a bit taller so dresses would have their actual lengths and would look like they’re supposed to. But since I’m so short, this is something I had to learn and I also learned how to cheat – of course, every dress will be a bit longer, but sometimes this can be very cool and look extremely great! Just like this one! Normally, I’d say that especially midi (and longer) dresses work perfectly with high heels, but since I’m a comfy person and like to wear flats, I went for my favorite sandals (gosh, I really hope they’ll never break!) and as you can see – it looks amazing. Even though I’m short. And even if some may think that there’s this rule that short people should try to look as tall as possible by avoiding certain dress and skirt lengths and wearing heels as often as possible, I say: fuck it. You don’t have to please anyone else but yourself. And if you want to wear midis with flats – do it! Your life, your body, your clothes, your rules. Ha!

Another one with my beloved “Modern Love” jumpsuit by Beth Ditto. I can’t stop saying how much I adore this overall – it’s one of the most comfiest pieces I own and it’s also super versatile.

I’ve already shown you two ways to wear it with a jacket and today it’s time to show it without something over it – just the jumpsuit and some basic accessories to accompany the special make-up. I wore this in Berlin at Zizzi’s Fashion Week event for their → collection preview and a lovely rooftop BBQ afterwards at the → Hotel de Rome and it was a great choice for that super sunny and relaxed evening. I wanted to wear something basic yet fashionable but make it a statement by doing an extravagant make-up. I went for a peacock style and used some stunning shades of → Urban Decay’s “XX Vice LTD Reloaded” palette – I can definitely recommend the palette for colorful looks, it’s simply perfect!

And yet another stunning dress from Scarlett & Jo! I’m so happy and thankful that – as a brand ambassador – I get the chance to wear and show you so many beautiful dresses! I’m truly a fan and lover of the brand and proud to be one of the faces of S&J because this is a plus-size brand that actually celebrates diversity and femininity, they celebrate all figures and women and create clothing that lets us all shine even brighter than we already do. ;)

I have to prepare this post before the weekend (it’s Thursday now!) because I’ll spend it in London for an epic photo shoot event (well, now that the post is online it’s over already, and I’m sure it was awesome and of course I’ll write about it as soon as possible!) and all I can think of right now is that I’m super excited to meet so many different women of all ages, sizes and heights, and I know that we will all look amazing in S&J. :)

But let’s talk about → this dress now – it’s definitely my favorite of all times (even though I love the 2 in 1 dresses). I’m a huge fan of transparency and this blue mesh layered piece is so, so beautiful! It was pretty windy on that bridge at the harbor where we shot this outfit, so the skirt part is flying a lot, you have to remember that this isn’t the normal look (it got pressed against my body so much that you can even see my catheter and pump tube, haha!), but even like that it looks so lovely. The lower part actually has a loose cut and falls beautifully and flowy, you don’t need to worry that someone will see what you’re wearing underneath. ;)

Hat: Frollein von Sofa (custom)

Bracelet: Hermès

Let’s just quickly talk about this hat first before I tell you more about → today’s amazing dress. ;) I’ve always been a huge fan of → Frollein von Sofa’s hats but never really found the perfect occasion to buy one. But when I got → my D&G dress, I thought that one of those little hats would be a lovely accessory and asked Anne if she could make one with poppies and daisies to match my dress. When it arrived, I was super happy and ready to combine it with my favorite dress, but somehow it looked even better with this one – so here’s my first look with it. :)

About the dress: I think this is one of the loveliest dresses from Scarlett & Jo and it’s perfect for every day – it can be styled casually or elegantly, everything looks great with it. This time, I went for a mixture – casually with flat sandals but with that special extra: the hat. :) I hope you like it!
By the way: I’m wearing a UK size 16, as always, and the waistline can be adjusted in the back with a bow, but it’s also a bit elastic. ;)
