Well, maybe this is a business look inspiration – maybe not, but it’s definitely something I’d like to wear in an office. Not in mine, though, because at home in front of my computer, I mostly wear my pajamas, haha! ;) That’s why I don’t post so many business looks… ;)

The whole outfit was actually planned in a completely different way – I was supposed to try on the blouse with some short dungarees and my leather jacket. But since the dungarees were sold out, I had another idea up my sleeve – pencil skirt and short blazer! And again – my glasses, because I figured you like them and I want to keep showing them from time to time. A perfect look for all business ladies. ;)

I must say that I’m so happy with each single piece of this look. The blazer was such a lucky buy (it originally costs around €1000 and I got it for €250!) and looks amazing with any more elegant outfit. The skirt is the only pencil skirt ever to work for me and my figure because it’s tight enough around the knees. And the blouse is great because the cut fits (this is a EU 46 and it’s not too loose around the bust but still goes over my hips without any problems, yay!) and it looks so cool – a great basic to own! And yes, the glasses – did I ever tell you their story? I saw a woman on the train wearing them and was completely enchanted until I finally had the guts to ask her where she got them (just a few minutes before she left), and she was so kind as to let me write down the model number. I then found the glasses in Brazil but they were completely overpriced. In the end, I got them online at some no-name glasses store (lucky me – they were no fake).

Boots: & Other Stories
Bag: Gucci “Soho”
Leather Chain Shoulder Bag
Hat: H&M Divided

It’s time for a new culotte on the blog – the denim version! At the Zizzi blogger event in Berlin, we were allowed to pick a few favorites from current and (near future) coming collections – these pants caught my attention instantly and I was lucky to get the only ones in my size. I also brought another pair of jeans home with me because I really love Zizzi’s cut of jeans, they fit me best and are absolutely great.

Now this is my first styling with this special culotte and it’s also one of my favorite outfits ever because I just fell in love with the whole combination of blue, white and red with golden details (French somehow, right?). Hat, bag and boots in black round it off and the make-up is mostly neutral (I really love this lipstick, which I topped with a bit of lip gloss).

Well, that’s what I want to see when I visit a fair for plus-size fashion. I want to see modern stuff, stylish clothes. Things that skinny people would also wear. Clothes for everyone, not for the fat outsider who wants to be hidden in a ochre-colored sack with no real shape. I want something that makes my fashionista heart beat faster, something that makes me want to get creative and play around with it. Something that screams FASHION! and WEAR ME!, something that makes me look amazing and want to step outside and say: “Look at me! I’m fat AND fashionable, fat AND stylish, fat AND beautiful!” – and I’m absolutely allowed to say and feel this, just like everyone else.

So yes, this is a love declaration to Zizzi – because they don’t mean to hide fat people but to make them feel like a part of everything, of fashion and looking great. Thank you for that!

Blazer: Emilio Pucci
Dress: Lindy Bop “Agnese”
Platform Sandals: Luiza Barcelos
Hat: H&M Divided
Sunglasses: Dolce & Gabbana
“Spain in Sicily”

Earrings: Dior “Mise en Dior”
Tribal Earrings
Bracelet: Hermès
Alternatives: Windsor Smith sandals,
ASOS hat 

You can’t imagine how excited I was when I saw this dress on Instagram – I was so happy to finally find a dress that looked like the (reverse) design of my Dolce & Gabbana sunglasses’ box, which I totally love. When I bought the sunnies, the beautiful box made me so happy that it got a special place at home where I can always see it (by the way: I’m really talking about a box, not only this sunglasses case I’m using as a clutch in these pictures – but it has the same design). What I wanted to do ever since was wear a dress with the same print, together with these amazing sunnies. But only D&G had a collection with this print and we all know that there’s no chance for me to ever fit into one of their dresses, unless they do a plus-size line. ;)

Anyways: there was this afternoon when I was browsing through my Insta feed and spotted this Lindy Bop dress. I went to their online shop and ordered within a few seconds, not even thinking twice. And here we are: isn’t it perfect? I’m SO in love with it!

I wanted to create a very lady-like look with this dress, kind of 50s chic. I guess this blazer was the perfect choice because looking at the photos I feel a little “royal”, haha! ;) Of course, for fall season, I had to choose a hat that matches the whole look. And the nude sandals are my favorite souvenir from Brazil, they’re so perfect and go with almost everything, just like this outfit. I hope you like it as much as I do! :)

ENMy obsession with head wraps continues and this time I tried another wrap technique with a huge bow in the front. Plus, we’re back with another jumpsuit. It’s actually my favorite and I’ve already styled it in so many ways but never like this – the turban adds an exotic touch to the comfy outfit (skip the heels for a shopping trip or a day at the beach!) and there’s yet another special piece: the bag. And yes, it’s really made of pull tabs, colored and hand-sewn in Brazil. I bought it in 2012 when I last visited my family there and spent an afternoon at the Feira Hippie in Ipanema – a great little marketplace for anything handmade, from clothing to interior decoration. If you’re ever there, you should have a look!

DEMeine Liebe zum Turban geht weiter und dieses Mal hab’ ich wieder was Neues ausprobiert, mit einer riesigen Schleife vorn dran. Dazu noch ein Jumpsuit, der übrigens mein Lieblings-Jumpsuit ist. Ich hab’ ihn schon so oft getragen, immer wieder anders kombiniert, aber so noch nie – der Turban bringt ein bisschen Exotik in den Look, der sonst wirklich superbequem ist (für einen Shoppingnachmittag oder einen Tag am Strand sollte man dann aber die High Heels weglassen und mit flachen Sandalen ersetzen!) und da wäre auch noch ein besonderes Teil. Die Tasche. Ja, ihr seht richtig, die ist aus Dosenringen gemacht, die bunt bemalt und zusammengenäht wurden. Als ich das letzte Mal 2012 dort war, hab’ ich sie auf der “Feira Hippie” in Ipanema gekauft – ein wirklich schöner kleiner Markt mit wahnsinnig vielen tollen handgemachten Sachen, von Klamotten bis hin zu Deko-Artikeln für die Wohnung. Falls ihr jemals dort sein solltet, müsst ihr unbedingt vorbeischauen!
