Hello! I've also been inspired by the many Gal blogs I saw here on blogger to try something a bit more bold and girly. I also have some very cute glossy heels with a strap that I think are super girly and fit the look. Autumn is my favourite season but it's just barely getting cool here. November will probably be very cold and I'm already prepared to try out all my stockings/tights!

Here is the outfit! I love how the white stockings bring it all together. I do wish I posed better and also took pictures with a prettier background but I just really suck at taking pics of myself.

With a long-sleeve bolero.

With my handbag for which I recently got a decorative chain and a very cute gothic-ish key chain.

Here's some close-ups. The top actually has a big bow!

My lovely shoes, they are pretty worm because I got them second hand. But only for 1 euro! And they are still in excellent condition.

Love this skirt. The tiers are just too cute and the rose print as well.

I don't have much make up (and I am also really bad at it) but here's what I had on today. The eye shadow I got for really cheap, the lipstick is from Aliexpress, and my mum gave me the mascara because she didn't like it.

I wanted to put together a cute little pic of my make up and went a little overboard! But it was fun. Oh to be an employee of a fashion magazine...

I've decided to put together an outfit, not to go anywhere or anything, but because it's time to actually take my fashion journey seriously! I was planning a very simple look but with a touch of girliness. Hence, the pink polo. It's the one I got two weeks ago and is a little transparent which I thought would worry me but was actually not a problem at all. Brown and pink has been pretty popular this year and its a combo I always liked, it's dessert-like. However, this outfit turned out almost a little sporty combined with the racer jacket and my new duffel bag.

With the duffel bag. Sorry for the blurriness!

 The complete look.

I am so embarrassed by how bad my poses are and how dumb my face looks in every shot. Look, I'm just not a model, no matter how much ANTM I binged. But it's fun to take pics anyway and though it's way to warm for this outfit right now it will be good in a months time. Also, my hair is at this really weird stage where it doesn't look too good so I want to grow that out as well.

Thrift Find 28 Sep 2024

As mentioned in my earlier post today, I went by both recycleries today. I was lucky to pick up two items from each store which were super cute and even scored a DVD and 2 CDs. I'm also trying out something new by actually wearing my finds in the pics I'm gonna use so that I can actually see how it sits on me. Yes, my ugly face is here. And yes, I am fat. That's life, I guess. 

The first thing I grabbed was this little pull-over shrug thing. Really reminds me something a ballerina would own so I paired it with this tank-top I already own. Excuse how bad this photo is but I really cannot pose to save my life or take a good picture. This one was kind of a steal because it actually had a tag that said 3 euros but the lady was so fast she must have not seen it and sold it to me for 1.

I then spotted this tee. I'm always happy to have more oversized shirts and comfy tees in general. I do like a few AC/DC songs but am not diehard. Sorry, I know that's basically band tee war crimes. I am myself AC/DC though.

Probably my best find of the day: this gingham style short sleeve shirt. It went super well with my outfit as well. It's super casual, I love gingham, plaid, and flannel. The colours matter a lot though.

Last but not least, I spied this polo when I was last at the recyclerie but wasn't confident in getting it. It is pretty worn-down and slightly see through. The print on the back was to die for though so I did get it. When I actually tried it on I was surprised with how cool it was!

Super excited about the weather getting worse and worse. Yes, please to the cold and the rain.

Today I hit up both recycleries in my town and got away with a lot of goods. My outfit for the day accidentally matched with a new purchase so I felt it was time to actually upload pictures of me matching the items and stuff. I do feel pretty insecure uploading pics of myself because... well, everything is visible! I dunno, sometimes I look in the mirror and I think I look good but then I take a photo and I hate it. To be honest I know I'm ugly but at the same time I think it's no big deal. I guess if you think I'm ugly and it is a big deal that sounds like a you problem. dude.

Thrift Find 21 September 2024

 It was a rainy Saturday, my favourite kind of weather. In general I'm super happy with the coolness of autumn finally arriving after the scorching summer. I came across a very cute cropped jacket with a high collar and a zipper, almost exactly like the one on my wish list. I'm going to count that as half achieved! 

It has a nice corduroy-like texture and is slightly cropped, which I like. The only issue is the shoulders are a little puffy which I will look into adjusting. 

I also got this scarf. To be honest orange is not my colour at all but the pattern and tones of this scarf were just too cute. It made me feel really nostalgic and wholesome. In other news, I really need to update my closet on the blog... and in real life too!

19 Sep 2024 Sales Find

I had some kind of wild impulse that I never have... I decided to order five skirts from H&M. Maybe it's because my favourite thrift store was closed for so long or the huge sales H&M had but I went a little skirt-crazy. To be fair, out of the five I bought, I was on the lookout for three of them for a while but couldn't justify buying them full-price so I was glad for the sales which were up to 80% off. 

 All but one fit fantastic, but I guess that is the risk of buying online. The annoying thing is that H&M does not actually provide sizing in cm. It just says that L is sizes 42-44. Which is not really clear at all.

I was dreaming of this skirt for so long. But I could not justify buying it for the normal price but luckily enough it only cost 5 euros with the discount. Hurray! It's so dreamy...

I've been wanting this skirt too but thought that two similar skirts is a little too much. However, it cost as much as delivery. Adding it to the order made the delivery free so I thought it was worth it anyway. I was worried I didn't actually like the print and made a dumb impulse decision. However, when it arrived, I realized that the print actually makes it quite distinct from the other skirt and that I liked it a lot.

I saw this skirt on the H&M site for the first time. It was super cheap and so, so cute. It sits perfect! I usually don't go for such vibrant colours but this print was just too pretty.

Very cute mini but in what world is it a 42? It fits so tight and is much more bodycon that I would have liked. I still like it but not as expected.

This is a 42 but fits perfect! Not sure what the sizing difference is but it's a little weird. I was on the lookout for this one as well but thought that the colour didn't suit me. When I tried it out it looked really great so I'm glad. The belt is such a cool detail.

We were supposed to go to the recyclerie with grandma today but she wasn't feeling too well so we postponed till Saturday. Me and my mum still went and it was a fruitful day! In fact, I ticked something off my dream list... something I thought would be hardest to find. I have a cute little purse/bag now in a colour I like. The shape is a little awkward but that isn't a big deal. I can't wait to buy some gothic-ish key chains for it. 

I also picked up a black tee with a cool decal and a pretty cool stitch up to the collar.

Here is a cute little cup with a gator and a little bowl with a checkered pattern that I will likely use for hair clips and such.

I also got some photos of the thrift-store itself. It's not my favourite in town but it often still has cute stuff. It's a little messy. Today was a pretty lucky day.

That's pretty much it for the day, I'm really happy that we were also able to pick up other stuff for my grand, mum, and sister. My brother only got some glasses.
