Gypsy Eyes

When I was a little girl, I loved playing dress up. My parents used to own a very chic clothing store in Holland (the Queen's sister once even came in to shop in our boutique!), but when they quit that business to move to Belgium they got rid of almost all the pieces in a final sale. However, my mom had amassed a lovely collection of gorgeous silk scarves. I loved grabbing those scarves and tying them around my body. I'd strip down to my butterfly printed undies and start layering bright, printed scarves to evoke a gypsy princess look, and then I'd dance around and make believe I was Esmeralda from the Hunchback of Notre Dame. I remember my very favorite scarf being an ombre pink-purple-blue fabric with a very fine star print. The gypsy vibe is still something I love seeing, I really dig the layers, textures, colors, exoticism, vibrance and mystery. My outfit slightly reminded me of that inspiration again, but more toned down and wearable. You like? I do!

No idea why that one pic where I'm showing the sleeves is slightly smaller than the other ones, it's the same size on my computer but different size on my flickr. Wth? Just a small note from my anal side :-D

About London: I won't be able to go after all, as a Dutchie living in Belgium apparently I need a valid ID-card  to travel to the UK, and my ID OBVIOUSLY expired. So yeah, I can't go. But I don't mind too much, I see it as a sign of fate that I should study a bit more, since our last exam Monday is actually one of the harder ones this semester. And now the lovely Stéphanie of Stylelab can go in my place and I'm super happy for her! So all is guuuuud. I just wish the weather would improve a bit :(
