Have you ever

I heart tights, but I think that was already quite obvious. Tights are THE easiest way to make an outfit look totally different. These pearl-grey or perle gris ones are perfect: they don’t have that “cute, retro, childlike” connotation that white tights do have, and they aren’t quite as bright so they are a bit more wearable. They look great with pastels, but I wanted to try something different and went for an outfit I could picture being worn in a disco type venue in the 70s-80s. I really love the wraparound sandals that were part of h&m’s garden collection, and I suddenly remembered I had shoes that were really similar. My mom got them for me on my 19th birthday I think, I don’t wear em that often but I really do love them. Why is it that we sometimes have garments we utterly love and still don’t wear? It’s not that the piece is unwearable or too “dressed up”, anyone who knows me knows I’m allways overdressed. Oh well, here’s to hoping they’ll get featured more often in my future!

I spoke with a friend about my blog and he commented on the saturation of my pictures so now I need your honest opinion: do you think my pictures are overly saturated most of the time? Or not enough? Too dark? Too bright? Contrast level?
Please tell me, I work on a laptop and the screen makes it hard for me to get color on the right uhm level.Any type of tips and constructive criticism is always appreciated!
Thanks again to my new fans on chictopia! You guys rock my world, I’m almost in the top six running for style icon! I probably won’t get it but I’ll still get a screenshot and print+frame it and hang it right here above my laptop so I can see it everyday and thank you guys!

  4. I have a 27" iMac, and would like to think it does a fair job of colour reproduction. I have never had a any problems with your photos at all. If I were to be really really be picky I would say your greens are a touch (and I mean a little touch) high. It shows on the grass, unless your grass is super green! :) But I would not suggest you need to make a change!

    Fab outfit!! Love the tights and shoes! :) :D
