Just like I explained in my last outfit post, fashion allows us to be who we want, and we can make a new decision every time we’re in front of our closet. ;) So last time, I wanted to wear a very tight and colorful dress – this time, I went for a very classic and sophisticated look, including a new piece in my jewelry collection: my first Chanel brooch! :) I actually wanted to shoot this outfit earlier, but when I finally had some luck at the store (every time I went there, they didn’t have any at all, but last time there were about 12 different brooches!), I instantly knew that this was exactly that last detail to complete this look. :)

People always say that fat girls can’t wear (horizontal) stripes – why’s that? I love stripes and I don’t care if they make me look fatter than I already am. That’s another thing about fashion that people need to start to understand: fashion is not about making you look thinner. Fashion is about the freedom I mentioned in my last post, the freedom to wear whatever I like, whatever pleases my own taste. And if someone else doesn’t like it – hell, I don’t give a single f***. And neither should you. ;)

I don’t think that this post needs a lot of explanation – you all know me already, I can’t say no to a classic LBD. Black dresses are the best choice for any occasion and work for every style. Whether you want to look casual or elegant, a little black dress is always right. Yet I still prefer the chic version when I wear them and this one is a pretty classy little number. Isn’t the neckline absolutely amazing? I love the detail with the black stripe between the sheer dotted net. Only one thing is important: you’ll need a strapless bra underneath. Since I haven’t found one yet (still searching, I think this search will be never-ending, ugh!), I simply went for a funny alternative: I’m wearing a strapless bikini bra underneath (→ this one). I mean, that doesn’t make me the MacGyver of fashion, but it was a good idea because I didn’t want to wear the dress without something underneath and this was the only thing I could come up with. Well – at least you can’t see any straps and that’s what’s important to me. ;)

Dress: Scarlett & Jo
High Heels: YSL “Tribute”

As a short person, I’m happy to announce that there’s a new range at Scarlett & Jo – it’s called → “Curvy Petite” and is specially made for tiny people like me (I’m 1.60 m/5’3”).

One of the new pieces is → this gorgeous red dress and all I can say is that a red dress is always a good choice, especially when it has such lovely details like the neckline and the sheer dotted sleeves. It’s a bit shorter to work with short people’s heights, so it actually fits like it’s supposed to fit and not midi instead of mini. Even though I’ve really become a midi lover, it’s nice to wear a short dress and this one is definitely a stunner. It features S&J’s typical bodycon details – a thick fabric and ruffles in the front, both for a very flattering look that enhances your curves and shows your body in the best possible way.
Last time I wore a red dress from Scarlett & Jo, → I went for beige heels (which I still think were a great choice, even though they’re not the obvious one and I heard some people say that they looks awkward), this time I went for classic black and I think that both is good. :) I’m still looking for my perfect pair of red heels, though – not easy to find some that I really like!

Blazer: Murek Hamburg
Jumpsuit: Beth Ditto “Modern Love”
High Heels: YSL “Tribute”
Sunglasses: Dior “So Real”
Choker: Jennifer Fisher
Earrings: Dior “Mise en Dior”
Bracelet: Hermès
Alternatives: ASOS jumpsuit,
New Look heels, Ray Ban sunnies,
ASOS choker, ASOS earrings

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! ;)
