Making fashion work for me -sequines and ruffles, please!

Today I went for a slightly bonkers combo of loved pieces, but I think it works, how about you?

Here I am mixing a white dress of my own design with a cut off sequined top, topping it off with a feathered head dress, coral earrings and leopard scarf. (I`m realizing that I don`t really do dressed down, or - this is MY dressed down :) )

This outfit feels relaxed and day appropirate with the clashing colours and prints, and yet brings a bit of pizzaz, just the thing I need to enjoy this lovely friday.

I loved this top from H&M, but the shape drowned my waist, so I chopped it off! What was I supposed to do, put it back and feel like shit because it didn`t fit me? No more of that I say!

The white dress was a fashion break through for me, wearing white at my size, hips and all? Bloody well YES!

I feel so much better when I have the guts to wear what I want, and as far as I am concerned it`s not really about size - it`s all about knowing my shape and working it.

I made the dress from the fabric of two A-line dresses that I found at Vera Moda, and what I did was keep the top part of one dress, sew the two skirts together and top it off with a black belt (with fabric from a cushion cover), creating an empire line that flows over my hips.

If the dress doesn`t fit it`s not me that needs changing -it`s the dress!

Can I get an AMEN! LOL

How`s this for romance! I love ruffles, pretty much anywhere ;D

    A feathered head dress is never wrong in my book :) I got this one and the scarf at H&M.

Here`s this slightly knackered fashion lover wishing you all a fab weekend with lots of fun and special moments with your loved ones.

Peacock style- perfect for strutting!

Peacock inspired style comes around every now and then, and this season it`s back as a growing trend for spring. I like to take the peacock(-trend that is) for a spin in my own way, like today when I feel inspired by the beautiful picture above, here`s how I`m mixing brown with two of my favourite colours -peacockstyle :

Raspberry pink.....

...and delicious teal green

Here`s my peacock inspired outft for today, perfect for strutting my feathers in!

Brown dress mixed with teal and pink peacock top, teal belt, grey wegdes from H&M, pink ring and spotty shades

If you want to bring some peacock flair to our wardrobe here are a few ways to strut your stuff:

How`s this dress for strutting your feathers!?!

And finally, let`s shake the tailfeathers!! (Peeeaaaaaccoooooocck!!!!!) (Just felt a warning was in order hehe)

Romantic stud

It has to be said that my number one romantic stud is my husbond :) (thanks for our nine years together ljubavi! )







My number two favourite take on studs gone romantic combines two of my great fashion loves:

Soft pink....

... and studs baby! (On everything!) (No need to go there people, what kind of girl do you take me for!?) (... right. No comment hahha)

A while back I picked up a smashing long studded pink jacket, that quickly became a vest when I chopped off the sleeves to make room for my rococo-style arms :). I also changed the shape of the jacket turned vest by cutting off some of the length, leaving me with a glamorous bolero-type shape with long lapels. Here`s how I`m working my romantic stud tomorrow (hey.. we already had this talk, right! Oh, forget it; hoooooooney ;))))) )

Pink studded vest mixed with brown dress, studded neckless, brown ring and headband

Studs and fake feathers all the way




You know how trends come and go? Personally, I`ll stick to a trend as long as I want to, having fun bringing it up to date, but let me tell you, the studded fashion ain`t going nowhere yet, it still has an other season in it, so it`s not to late for you to bring the stud to your own closet,romantically- or whichever way you fancy (...) (!!!) (;) )
