Spring fashion haul: randoms

The last part of my spring fashion haul is -finally- here. Let's jump into this!

The first item is a clothing item I've been wanting for a long time, but never found the perfect version of it that I had in mind. It's a denim blouse. This one from H&M is the perfect fit and color. I'm a little (very) late on the trend, I know.  Because I wanted to pair this denim shirt with a pop of color, I bought this bright tangerine belt from H&M.

My mom got me this skirt from H&M, which is perfect for the black and white trend this summer!

 


This shirt from Forever 21 is a perfect fit for me and is perfect for the color blocking trend, only it's more subtle and neutral-colored. The back has a nice little detail.

I am totally in love with my lace blazer from Primark!! I saw it and knew I wanted it. I can literally wear it with EVERYTHING! It's oversized, but that makes me love it even more since it's not too girly and too cute.

Then last but not least: there's this black faux leather clutch from H&M that has a golden chain if you want to wear it over your shoulder. I loved it immediately and it's unlike any bag/clutch I have. I usually don't go for black since it's a bit harsh on me. But since this one is small and quite delicate, it's not too overpowering.

 Hope you liked this post!

Outfit of the day: Easter brunch

This past sunday, my parents threw a brunch for the entire family on my father's side. About thirty people were to be expected and my mom had gone in her berserk mode and fixed up an incredible brunch. She had bought, prepared, baked and cooked enough food for an entire army and boy, did I eat a lot! Don't worry though, in the end she packed up everything and gave it to anyone who was interested. Since the weather was going to be nice (Belgium nice, I mean by that - 18°C/64°F) and the sun came peeping through the clouds during the afternoon, I was excited to wear something spring-y. Since I have been anxious to FINALLY wear my white lace blazer, I went with this look:

Leather top: Primark

Blazer: Primark

Pants: H&M

Necklace: H&M

Shoes: Torfs by Flair

Blue bag: vintage

One thing I immediately want to add is: Yes, I know I could look thinner in something like a girly A-line summer dress or skirt, but I love this outfit and don't care that you're able to see my curves. I've been trying to eat healthier and work out once in a while when I find the time and though I have to admit I could do a lot better, I am happy with the way I look. Though, when I find the time, I do want to lose some kilos. 

With this outfit I feel like I'm supporting the lace trend, the capri pant trend, the printed pant trend and the leather trend for this spring. I feel good in it and think it's casual and chic at the same time. 

I hope you liked this outfit!

Spring fashion haul: Graphic prints

Another spring trend I went crazy for, were the graphic prints. You can't imagine how many pairs of graphic pants I tried on, but sadly they look like pyjama bottoms on me. Recently, my mom showed me a pair of pants she got from H&M. I liked it a lot and weeks later, when we were at H&M together, she pushed me to try on the same pair of pants. Admittedly, I tried it on, convinced that I would look like a clown. I was in utter surprise when I saw this pair of pants and fell in love. And I'm not ashamed to say that I indeed have some clothes the same as my mother! It's nothing to be ashamed of!

I love the cute, but yet modern print of this pair. Because of the cool marine blue color, the white dots don't remind people of an easter egg, which was a fear of mine. I usually fold over the end and wear my blue pumps underneath, which makes me look sophisticated but comfy. Love it. The picture doesn't do it justice.

The next item I purchased back in november, desperately wanting something that was chic and to add something to my closet with a graphic print. It's from Primark and the sides are leather strips, which I adore. It has a nice peplum bottom, which is beautiful for my fuller figure.

An other H&M-item I succumbed to, was this H&M jacket. The print has dark blue, marine blue, white and red in it. It's not meant to wear it closed, it's just supposed to BE, you know. That's what I love about it. The sidepieces in the front of the jacket have a special design and flows on my body-shape like a Valentino-dress. Need I say more.

Last but not least, I got this top from the Conscious collection from H&M. I actually wanted the dress version, but sadly, it didn't suit my body at all (Let's just say my behind looked huge). This top suited me much better and had me falling in love with the beautiful print that makes me feel like I am on an exotic holiday.

These three pieces are probably the three clothing items that I have been most obsessed with these last months!

Spring fashion haul: pastels!

Hey everyone!

Technically it's already spring, but here in Belgium, it's actually snowing. Yeah, you read it correctly. IT'S SNOWING! No wait, it's more like a blizzard... Now don't get me wrong, I love snow, but only when it's being accompanied by christmas songs, a warm fireplace and lots of turkey. But after New Year's Eve, snow is a forbidden form of precipitation in my book.

To try to forget about the snow, I did what every woman does when she feels down. I shopped. I shopped a lot. Spring seemed to be shouting at me and waiting around every corner to jump in front of me and scream "Hey you, buy me, you'll look great!" and I gave in like a purring kitty that just got a furry toy.

The first kind of fashion item that made me go berserk, were pastel colored items. Last year, I was convinced that this trend wouldn't suit me. But this year, I fell in love with the sweet colors that reminded me of macaroons, flowers and taking naps in meadows.

It started out with pants. I know, so innocent. I needed lots of pants, since I had thrown away all my bad pairs and was left with just one very nice pair of Levi's. One pair of pants? That's not livable! I entered the dressing room with a whole stack of pants, thinking I would be incredibly lucky to even find one pair that fitted me. As it turned out, almost every pair fitted me. I bought two pairs of jeggings, two pairs of normal jeans and then the pastel colored pants caught my eye. And I was in love. I bought three pairs, one in a coral-pink color, a sky-blue color and a mint green color. Take a look at these beautiful babies!

All three pairs are from Yessica (C&A). On the way to the cash register I fell in love with this light coral-pink scarf and in my happy buzz I just grabbed it and hopped to the queueing line without thinking about it. Afterwards, I purchased this mint green baggy top at H&M and I got this striped coral-pink knitted sweater at Primark a few months ago.

And last but not least there's this amazing clutch I got at Primark for just three pounds! I think every girl would agree with me that three pounds for this clutch is a STEAL!

What do you think? Are pastel colors the it-trend for this spring and summer? What trend do you prefer?
