A while ago, I spotted this gorgeous boho Isabel Marant dress on Sea of Shoes' Jane, and it totally reignited my love for feminine silhouettes, just like that. I used to be way into pretty vintage dresses a few years ago, partly because dresses are so easy to just throw on, and partly because I found it hard to find pants that fit me the way I wanted them to. Case in point: see me wearing vintage dresses here, here, here, here, here and here. But then I got sick of it because I felt like I was wearing a costume rather than just getting dressed, and basically started limiting my dress-wearing to beautiful summer days. I'm still sad about throwing out that pink dress, by the way. So stupid. 

Now, I don't see myself dumping by Nikes and boyfriend jeans just yet, but I am entering a more feminine style phase again, and enjoying it! This dress is part of that new direction. I picked it up for 3€ in the monthly Think Twice sales, took it in at the sides and made the V-neckline a bit deeper, and BAM: great cold weather dress. I love the long puffed sleeves, the flattering colours and the abstract, painterly floral print. They've got sales going on right now, so I'm probably dropping by tomorrow to see what I can find. Maybe a replacement for my perfect pink cotton dress?

  4. Yessss! Vintage AB is back! I've missed her so <3 Ik zit nog met een hele hoop vintage jurkjes waar ik soms niet meer van weet hoe ik ze moet stylen om ze "2014" te maken ipv "2008"... Heel geslaagd bij jou hier! xx

  5. Beste tip die ik heb: hou het gewoon classy en klassiek elegant ipv het hip te proberen maken, en gebruik niet teveel accessoires/statement pieces bijeen. Maar ik geloof er niks van dat jij niet weet hoe dat moet, u da queen of classy with personality!
