I think this look is kind of unusual for me – not because of the whole style but because of the shirt. I usually don’t wear shirts with messages on them, but this time I couldn’t resist buying this tee because it says what I always tell you:

“you are your own beautiful”

I’ve already had this topic in → one of my “Private” posts, talking about “perfect” and how we can only define it for ourselves. It’s important that we understand that “beautiful” isn’t set in stone, it’s something that lies in the eye of the beholder, and we can only define it for ourselves because of our very own taste. Plus: “beautiful” isn’t only an adjective for the outer shell. A character can be so incredibly beautiful when it comes from a loving soul. Being beautiful doesn’t only mean pretty – you can be even more beautiful when you treat others with respect, tolerance and love.

Of course, this outfit is still a bit unusual for me because of the casual look. But still, the skirt is super sparkling – too bad the lighting outside swallowed all that colorful glitter (the skirt looks purple but the glitter is blue, golden and pink) which makes it all special enough for my taste. :)

This skirt was a major success on → Instagram. People went crazy about it and all I can say is: me too. :) I really didn’t think that I’d love it so much when I placed my huge order at H&M. ;)

It’s really amazing and has a great fit (EU size 44), and the color is so wonderfully bright! The lining is made of gray sweater fabric, so I guess that gray would have been a great matching color too. Black is also never wrong as a neutral element with these kind of popping colors, but instead of choosing one of those classics, I went for some strawberry ice cream pink and also added even more color with the neon coral pink belt and my neon orange baby bag. Almost hidden: my green earrings! Lots of color blocking! That’s why I went for nude heels, because black would have been way too harsh for this mix of bright colors and soft pastels. But I’m sure I’ll go for a more subtle combo next time, and of course you’ll get to see it. Until then, please enjoy my first official spring look. :)

I know, it’s almost February but there’s still enough time to give you some ideas about how to make this year a #bodypositive year.

I’ve never been someone to make New Year’s resolutions, but since 2015 was a year full of great moments in terms of plus size, I wanted to share some ideas with you. Things to try and live by this year. And I’ll hopefully be good help with that with my blog.

If there’s one fashion thing that I always repeat, it’s combining black with some colorful details. Black is definitely the most fashionable color – it works for any occasion, fits everyone and always looks classy (or just the way you want it!).

Today, I’m combining black with a longer midi skirt with a colorful brush strokes print. The skirt was instantly sold out at H&M, so unfortunately there’s only one chance for you to (maybe) get it: get up early at around 5 am and have a look at the online shop – that’s when they re-fill their stock and almost everything is available in all sizes.

Of course I couldn’t resist adding some special details like my heels and the glittering sunnies from Miu Miu. I also tried something new: wearing my shoulder bag as a fanny pack. I still think that’s a great idea (especially if you’re not carrying too much stuff around with you) and gives the whole look that very special last touch. Fancy meets classy. Definitely me! :)
