I proudly present: the only dress in my C&A collaboration! ;) Since the festivities are approaching, I think it’s a great idea to show you a basic but elegant style which you can easily make your own by accessorizing it your way. I’m thinking about a nice belt, a sophisticated blazer, a colorful clutch or popping shoes. I went for a complete classic look and let the dress shine alone – only combined with black patent heels and red lipstick.

I’m wearing a EU size 46, that’s why the dress could be a little tighter around my waist, but as usual, it has to fit around the hips, so I need to go a size up. But as you can see, it also works nicely without a belt and still looks beautifully fitted at the waist (and that’s something you don’t find too often in the plus-size area since brands seem to believe that when you’re fat, you don’t have a waist anymore – especially at brands who sell from 34 to e.g. 54, you can see a huge difference when you look at the “skinnier” piece and put the plus-size version next to it: the smaller size “has a waist”, the bigger one doesn’t…), so there’s no adjusting needed. ;)

[Produktplatzierung | Product Placement]

We seriously need to talk about how many pants I’ve been showing you throughout the last months. Isn’t it crazy how C&A managed to make me like jeans? So much I even ordered one by myself in their SALE section (this time, an actual skinny jeans) plus another one at → Violeta by Mango (cause it’s embellished with pearls and you know how much I love pearls!) and I can’t wait to try them on.

Today’s outfit is → recycling one of the jeans you already saw. This is not a post of our collab (→ that’s why there’s the label “product placement”) but almost the whole outfit is gifted. Everybody who attended the C&A Collection Preview event in October in Düsseldorf, got one of the #WearTheChange t-shirts (as far as I know, they’re not for sale, sorry!). They’re supposed to promote C&A’s sustainability engagement, especially cause they’re the biggest producer using organic cotton. I believe that this is pretty much a great thing to support by wearing this t-shirt and therefore being a part of the change. ;) But I’d also like to interpret this shirt my way and say that for me, “wearing the change” in terms of plus-size means to be a change by wearing whatever I like. Probably kind of a challenge for some: tucking your t-shirt in your jeans. ;) I dare you to change and try it! ;)

I’m seriously in love with this look and so happy to finally show it to you! It’s still very fall-like in these pictures but we already had our first snowfall on Sunday, can you believe it? Not the best idea to wear your pants like this right now but I thought that it’d look cool to show you something different. Plus, these jeans aren’t very skinny and you may remember the first look of my C&A collab for which I had already worn not-so-skinny jeans and it’s just not as perfect as super tight ones. So this cropped look is a great alternative for when your pants are too wide and when you want to show off your boots. ;)

Of all the pieces I’ve shown you (and there are still three looks coming), this sweater is my absolute favorite. It’s the softest and coziest sweater ever and I’m pretty sad to tell you that it’s already sold-out online – but don’t worry, from time to time, some sizes are available again and you just have to be quick. ;) I’m actually waiting for it to come back in my size, too, so I can get a second one. I’m just too much in love with it. It’s cute but still sophisticated because of the bronze glitter dots and I have to say that I really like the combination with navy blue! I added a touch of black with the hat and some glittering red on my lips for that perfect fashionable fall look (at least for the warmer days, haha! Right now it’s all about a warm jacket…).

My second outfit shoot with Katharina brings you this unusual combination! :) And even though it’s something new for me, I enjoy wearing it so much! I’ve worn it a lot because of my closet problem, sometimes exchanged the black shirt with a white t-shirt for an even more casual style, but this is my favorite combo – because I love the mix of super sexy with that cleavage and the casual look with jeans and sneakers. The kimono gives it that last fashionable touch and makes the whole outfit very special and I’m so glad I bought it cause it’s exactly the showstopper I needed in my life. :) Plus: who says, short people can’t wear long jackets? It had to be shortened, though. Haha!

You may have noticed that Katharina’s photos look a little bit different. This is because she’s a professional photographer and uses Photoshop (which I don’t even own and therefore never use!). I asked her to go slow with the retouching but, of course, I didn’t want her to lose her own style of working on the pictures. So this is just a little reminder that you might notice a difference. ;)
