2nd thrifted dress...the pink blinding-people dress

This is the second dress I bought at Mon amour 77.. and this one is pretty hard to handle.
The owner of the shop told me it has the Yves Saint Laurent pink, a very very flashy pink from the 80's that I adore
It also has little golden studs on the front..

I first styled it with black, the more reasonable option, not to blind people on the streets : black tights, black cardigan, black belt...






In fact, what I would really go for is pink and red... I love to combine warm and flashy colors but it's not so easy to wander the streets of Paris like this.. especially since I'm also plus-size.. that would be 2 reasons to be "checked"...
I had a drink with a spanish friend last night and she used a very perfect word to describe what people do in Paris : they "check" you...
It's really parisian... I haven't experienced it so strongly elsewhere...
No matter if you're plus-size, skinny, well dressed or not...
It's nearly like a reflex and it makes you feel really jugded and in a rather bad way

In short, here is the second outfit : the pink dress and red tights, red cardigan and red belt...

pumpkin legs

Today I tried a new styling of the purple corduroy dress from Asos... which I really prefer to the last one
and I pulled my usual ace card : the magic red belt.
I also wanted to wear the orange neon tights that are not so easy to match...
I really had the feeling that orange, purple and red would go well together.

Late Zombie party

Yesterday, I was invited to a Zombie Party..I know, it was one week after Halloween!!

It was not really a costume party but I tried to match the theme as close as possible by wearing my skeleton hands sweater clip and my skull earrinsg and bang..

I also focused on red and black clothes.

Giving in the cape fever

I was very tempted by the Kaki cape from Asos since I first saw it on their website.. Then la pocket rocket did a nice outfit post and was even more tempted.

I waited for a while to get a little bargain and here it is... I was a bit disappointed by the warmth of this cape because on the website, it looked much more thick. In the end, it is more of a in-between seasons clothe.

Today I wear it with a very simple and automnish outfit, with my chocolate necklace and my eclairs earrings.

Stolz auf meine neue Anna Scholz!

Yesterday a big change happened : it is my first outfit pictures taken outdoors AND by someone.

I went with a good friend to an exhibition and I asked her to take some pictures for the blog.. they are indeed more lively than my usual pictures and it was fun to do...



I choosed my new Anna Scholz dress. I was recently in Berlin and could visit the Anna Scholz shop in Mitte, it was a delight, the place is vast and the choice of clothes is huge. The changing rooms are also big and well designed, so that you can move around.

I browsed the website several times before going there in person to get familiar with the 2 collections (Black Label and White Label). Anna Schloz is definately not afraid of using patterns and colors and very nice fabrics. The only minus is the price range...

So I had to stay on my budget and I opted for this dress : I love its colors, very autumnish and its form.



Here is a detail of the draped back.



And details of the sides





The exhibition place has a nice hidden garden on its side, a very narrow garden with a wood plateform to walk on.





dress : Anna Scholz (size 50)
purple tight : We love colors
plateform shoes : Jeffrey Campbell (size 10)... a bit too big...

Winterisation : the Hawaian Dress ***retro-blogging***

So, here is my second "winterisation" attempt.. with the Hawaian dress from Asos I love so much.
As the background of the dress is black, I think it is easier to remix for a colder season.
This dress being really too short, I can't wear it without a skirt, or I feel uncomfortable.
I added a black short bolero with the crossboned sweater clip.

Diy in action!

A few weeks ago, I transformed a not really flattering white jean into a skirt.
I'm still thinking of pushing the customisation with cherry or strawberry patches. For the moment, it's still plain white.

weather 1 - me 0

Despite my best effort to dress for spring, I had to go back to tights and sweater... I tried to avoid black and mixed 3 colors.



here is a detail of my yummy jewellery, the Tagada Strawberry earings.

neon up, neon down

Today, I had this strange vision of mixing a very straight short pants with neon.. i would say this outfit is kawai preppy...

oops I did it again...

I altered this skirt this week end with my friend Misa so it would fit better on me..

another monday, same colours

Looking back at my outfit pictures, I realised I'm really obsessed by black and red..

Also since this week end, I started a vide dressing in the VLR website... I'm cleaning my closets, and letting go the clothes I'm not wearing anymore..

I also started a Flickr account in order to post in the fatshionista group ...I'm so happy I did it, it almost felt like a coming out....

night explosion!

This is more a night outfit.. I was more into staying home friday night and after one persuasive phone call, I decided to go out... I choose my very very tight asos new skirt with neon tights.... I must admit it was pretty comfortable... I don't think I could wear this combinaison in day light.

A charleston vibe

It's easter week-end and I go with the black and red look. The tights are from We love colors, the colors are really nice but the texture is not elastic enough, so the tights are constantly on my ankles, not very elegant.
I'm also more confident in showing some legs....

WTF Poses

It might not be obvious, yesterday the tight was neon yellow and today it is neon green... it is maybe too subtle for human eyes.

Those neon tights inspired me a lot for goofy poses.

Customised skirt : H&M
tights : We love colors
shrug : La Redoute
scarf : from military shop

Neon spring!

In the tights bag under my bed, were the many neon tights from We love colors I ordered some times ago. I once tried them and I don't know why, I decided they didn't fit.

I tried them again yesterday and discovered you just have to force fit them... they are quite extensible.
So, it gave me the opportunity to test new photo positions!

In the first photo, is a new studded belt from Dorothy Perkins.
