It’s been some time since you last saw me with my glasses on – so after the pants I thought it would be nice to bring them back for a special post. They’re on my nose every day but I somehow prefer not to wear them for our shoots. This time, they were exactly what the look needed to be perfect. ;) I guess I should show them more often – glasses can definitely be a great accessory, even if you don’t need them (I do, I’m kind of a mole without them). ;)

But the main actor of today’s post is the plush jacket. I don’t support fur and actually, wearing fake fur isn’t the best idea either because even fake fur can sometimes be real fur and you should definitely check first before you buy or just don’t do it at all. I don’t want to make this post a discussion about morals because I don’t judge people who like fur and I don’t see myself in a position to judge because I eat meat and wear leather, so it’d be kind of hypocritical to do so. Still, I believe that we’re living in a world where fur is pure luxury and not needed – and it is so wrong how mankind “produces” fur products. Anyways, fake fur is definitely a better option if you can’t do without it, and yes, as a style blogger I do like the look of fake fur in winter – especially when it’s such an amazing jacket.

When I went to the market place of → this year’s PSFD, I saw → myPePita’s booth and the jacket instantly caught my eye. It’s such a wonderfully different color combo, a very light gray with a kind of blueish glow, mixed with red and brown and these bold black tiger-like stripes. It’s a statement piece for sure! And the plushy feel ist so soft and great, you won’t even want this to be real fur, it’s more like a cuddly teddy bear that’s warming you. ;) I’m so in love with that jacket and after checking the online store, I found many other pieces I really like – you should definitely have a look at myPePita because it’s another stylish plus-size shop (from EU size 42) which offers actual fashion! And if you feel like ordering, I’ve got something for you – get 15% off your order by using the code Lu1116 at the checkout. :)

First, I wanted to do a look with a flared black dress, but then I decided to do another outfit with my beloved “Lola” dress from Beth Ditto. I love the combo with the dove-gray dress and black details, it’s definitely more interesting than the obvious choice, which is black. Also, it’s good to wear something tight underneath the huge jacket. It will still show your body shape. For some extra attention on the waist (another figure saver and hourglass figure creator, even when you can’t see the whole silhouette), I added a black belt.

This summer, I’m definitely living my passion for jumpsuits. This is a very special one and combines my love for floral prints with a different cut. :)

To be honest, I don’t have much to tell you today. Actually, there’s a not very nice story connected to this look, as I was insulted when we were shooting it. I’m seriously shocked that people really are that mean in real life. Anonymous insulting online is kind of usual these days (unfortunately!), but when people actually open their mouths to say extremely unkind things to you, that’s somehow proof of our society’s shortcomings. There’s still so much to be changed, but I’m honestly not very optimistic that, even if plus size is finally accepted and part of our daily lives just as everything else, people’s minds will be open for this. That’s why it is even more important to know for yourself that this is not to be taken personally. Some people are just stupid and rude – this combination sucks. But you should be 100% aware that you mustn’t believe them when they call you fat, ugly, disgusting and all of those horrible adjectives. They come out of a very narrow-minded brain that’s filled with hatred, probably most times because of themselves and their miserable existence.

I know that it’s definitely not easy to remind yourself that you’re okay just the way you are when someone really comes up with something so nasty, but: ignore it! You’re beautiful just the way you are!

DEEs ist also schon soweit – der erste richtige Herbstlook auf dem Blog. Dabei hat während unseres Shootings die Sonne ihr Bestes gegeben und mir war tatsächlich ziemlich warm im Pulli, aber das blenden wir an der Stelle einfach mal aus. ;) Das Outfit hab’ ich nämlich schon längst getragen, als es etwas kälter war, und jetzt wollte ich die Fotos endlich nachholen. :)

Der Pullover von Zizzi ist ein Mitbringsel von der letzten “Curvy is sexy”-Messe in Berlin, wir durften uns im Rahmen einer kleinen Bloggerrunde zwei Teile aussuchen und mitnehmen – für mich wurde es dazu noch ein Strickjäckchen, das aber noch ein bisschen auf seinen Auftritt warten muss. ;)

ENSo here we are – the first fall look on my blog. Let’s just forget that the sun was shining at its best while we were shooting and it was really hot. ;) I already wore this outfit when it was a little colder, so now it was about time to take some pictures! :)

We had the chance to take home two Zizzi pieces from the “Curvy is sexy” fair in Berlin and I chose this sweater and a cardi which still has to wait a little for its appearance. ;)
