Wedding Style in Suit and Petticoat

On me: dress: ASOS - wedges: Sac d'Anvers - necklace: Forever21 - ear studs: Winston&Celeste

On him:  suit: H&M Conscious Collection - shirt: Zara - shoes: Tim's

Told you I had a wedding to attend! Tonight's the night, and we did a dress rehearsal (lol) in our bedroom yesterday. Which for us just means we picked our outfits and checked if everything was in order. Yes, we are that couple. I guess I'm lucky to have a guy who likes looking smart as much as I do? I never have to nag him to change out of sweatpants and flipflops. Yep, definite plus. I personally feel like it's a way of thanking the bride and groom for their invitation if you try your best to look snappy. I'd find it a bit sad if most people at my wedding were just dressed in formal pants and some kind of top, you know? So getting your look right is important to me when you're invited somewhere. I am a total Bree Vandekamp in that regard.

Anyway, we went out to buy him a suit since his old ones are starting to show their age, and ended up getting this three piece beauty at H&M. I couldn't let my boyfriend upstage me of course! My gorgeous ASOS Salon prom dress caught my eye and since you don't get that many opportunities to pull out all the stops, the choice was an easy one. I kept my make up and accessories very subdued in order not to rival with the bride's attire, since this dress is already a whole lotta look. If I may say so myself, I think we look rather chic!

My mom and sis were over for our semi-weekly get together (and to help pick out my look). Since my sister always carries her camera everywhere, she set up an impromptu little photo shoot in our bedroom while we were getting ready. I always love an opportunity to feature my boyfriend here so I was like YEAY.  This is us as our silly selves in our very own bedroom! I don't show that many pictures of my home, so this might be a nice insight in my living situations for you guys. Keywords: colour, clutter, art and a bit of bohemian kitsch.

Off to chill a bit before the madness of getting ready begins. Enjoy your weekend (and Eurovision)!

Blue Mascara

While killing some time, I dropped by my favorite beauty store Di and picked up this aqua mascara from 2B cosmetics. I bought the purple version a few months ago and I have to say, I haven't gotten much use out of it. I guess the purple is just a bit too subtle for me? Not bright enough. Well, if you want bright, this one will be right up your alley. I'm pretty sure this particular shade of blue looks more beautiful on brown or blue eyes than with my hazel/green peepers, but I actually really like how "weird" and, quite frankly, modern blue mascara looks if you pair it with an otherwise almost nude face. The type of look that makes an effortless statement.

You feelin' it? Would you rock blue mascara, or are you happy to leave this look in the 80s?

Bare Legs and Clogs

coat, t-shirt, clogs: H&M - skirt: vintage - sunglasses: ASOS

Yes, one day, a long time ago, it was actually warm enough to walk around in bare legs and sandals /dramaqueen. This outfit dates back an entire THREE WEEKS so it was about time I got it on here. Time seems to fly these days, feels like last week I snapped these. Once you get to that stage of life where you work fulltime, going from bed to work to couch to bed to work to couch to weekend... every week starts to feel the same. But in a good way! I know I make it sound like my life is a boring routine, but I'm actually loving every minute of it right now. I'm juggling a lot of plates, but I've found my rhythm. And I secretly really enjoy a bit of routine.

SO! This was my outfit on a particularly lovely day a few weeks ago. I bet some of you will be glad to see me in one of my more retro-feminine outfits again. So if you're sick of me wearing pants and leggings: rest assured, I revert to dresses and skirts every summer. And then you'll be sick of that again and pants will feel refreshing when fall swings by. AH I KNOW MYSELF SO WELL.

I curled my hair with my new curling iron (duh) in these pictures, just like in my last outfitpost. Curling irons are THE BOMB. I'm planning on breaking it out again on Saturday (along with my extensions): I'm attending a wedding. I love a good opportunity to dress up as much as the next person, but Saturday is a special day. More precisely, EUROSONG DAY. And I'm going to miss out on watching my FAVORITE televised event of the year because I'm going to a wedding :( I'm not even kidding, I love Eurosong. My boyfriend and me are going to tape the show, try to stay away from any type of spoilers the entire night (don't expect to see me on social media) and we're going to watch Eurosong Sunday afternoon. Not the same, but the next best thing!

You gonna watch Eurosong? I'm actually quite liking the Belgian entry! :-D
