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!

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. ;)

I wore this for a very special date with one of my dear readers – she wrote me such a lovely e-mail telling me that she first saw me and my blog in a magazine years ago and that she’d love to meet me by coincidence one day, since we both live in Hamburg. I suggested that we should just go out for ice cream together instead of waiting for a miracle (let’s be honest: the world’s a small place but why wait?) and that’s what we did. So here’s a very special virtual hug for you, Rebecca! :)

It’s so great to meet new people because of something that you love. It’s amazing to get to know them (since you all already know me!), talk about common interests and find new friends. Seriously, this blog brings me so much joy – it was the best choice to start it more than 7 years ago. And here I am, still sharing my outfits with you, talking about make-up (well, from time to time, I know I don’t do it a lot anymore) and fighting for body positivity every day. What started as “I’m bored, let’s do a blog about my looks” turned into something so important and special for me, and sharing it all with you is what makes me very happy.
Wow, what a deep outfit post. Well, sometimes I just write what I feel. :) Have a lovely week, everyone! ♥

Yes, you already know this outfit – somehow. Because it was my choice for one set of photos at the → Murek Hamburg blogger event. ;) But since I really fell in love with it, I wanted to do an extra shoot for the blog – so you can see all details. I changed my shoes and the earrings (I mixed two of the “Mise en Dior” earrings for the complete silver look!), but the rest is completely identical to the first pictures.

I didn’t really know Murek until I visited them for the event and now I’m kind of obsessed with their jackets because they really know how to cut them properly and – that’s why I’m truly in love with them – they know how to do a good length for the sleeves. I could usually hide another half arm (at least another hand) in every jacket sleeve, but this one (and the ones that I chose for fall/winter – I hope they arrive sooooon!) has the perfect length for me, even though it’s still a tiny bit too long, but I don’t think that this is something bad. I like it like that.

Anyways, this is another style with my jumpsuit love from Beth Ditto. Next time you’ll see it without a jacket, promise! It’s just that it looks amazing with any blazer, jacket or bolero! ;)
