Double Take

Life is all about choices. Some are easy, some are hard. Some are #firstworldproblems 😂
Take lil' ole me for example. I just had the hardest time making a selection of pictures. When I shot this outfit the first time, let's just call it "take 1", I was okay with how the pics turned out, but as a blogger, you want to take some extra shots just in case. And so I did: "take 2". When actually reviewing them all later, I was so on the fence on which take to go for. I literally spent hours in my head thinking about it. Girl, really? And in the end, it still got me nowhere. Consider it my personal protest (against my indecisive self, obviously) to stop thinking about it and just putting both up.

After all, there are much more important problems in the world, right? Life's too short for this. Having said that, I'm still curious to see which one you like best. Let me know! :)

Snake.

Fall is a great season to take my collection of coats for a spin. I recently cleaned up in my closet and I found a few gems I have neglected for too long. I am a sucker for animal prints, leopard- and snakeskin prints being my fave among them. So obviously, this coat had to come out and play :)

Set, Match

I live for matching sets. Apart from them being an easy way out whenever you're not inspired to match a top or a pair of pants with something else, they're just cute. In this case, the flower print is so lovely. Both make good items to pair with anything else but I liked wearing them together. I actually came across this set after taking the MS Mode summer quiz to determine what type of summer person I am. For my Dutchies, check out the Summer quiz MS Mode is hosting on their Facebook page, there are great prices to win!

Minty goodness

This dress combines two elements that I will never get tired of: faux leather and mint. It rarely gets much better than this, y'all. I mean, look at my face. All smiles! Another thing that made me VERY happy recently was the article I got to write for the Dutch Cosmopolitan for their "Body Confidence Week". It's in Dutch unfortunately, but feel free to check it out!

In other news, summer holiday has started! I finally have the time to shoot some more outfits, can't wait to share them with you!

Coral

I think nothing screams summer more that bright yellows and corals. And I have to say, it's about time summer actually came and stayed! Temperatures have been rising indeed but so have the water levels. It's been raining a lot I can tell you. Luckily, things are starting to look better as of this weekend. Having said that, with a sunny season, come not so sunny allergies... My hay fever is trying to get the best of me right now but as my birthday is fastly approaching, I'm putting all my effort in not to succumb to the drama that is called itchy eyes, constant sneezing and asthma :/

Now on to the dress. The dress is MS Mode's signature dress for the season and they even made Mattel's new curvy Barbie one! Super cute. The cut is super flattering on any body type I would say, and I do consider it a season musthave.

Back to earth

No matter the season, beiges, nudes and olive greens are always welcome in my closet. I absolutely love an "earthly" color palette. The time for lightweight coats has finally arrived, so out with the trench!

Oh Daisy!

Although I post a lot of dressy looks on my blog, I'm really a jeans kinda girl when it comes to my day to day looks. Finding a good pair can be a challenge at times and when I find a good one, I like to stock up on some. Nothing worse than your favorite pair of jeans ruined after a 1.000.000 wears and having to find a perfect replacement since your old pair is not available anymore, right? I think we can all agree that the no.1 struggle when finding plus sized jeans are jeans that are tight when trying them on, and saggy by the end of the day. At least, that is definitely something I don't like.

I own quite a few pairs, but there is always room for more. So when MS Mode challenged me to find my perfect pair from their shop I had to try. They have made it their mission to find every woman their perfect pair of jeans. Hear hear! Those of you that have been paying attention to my posted looks know that I love a good pair of boyfriend jeans so I opted for a destroyed pair (duh!), their "Daisy" jeans. They also sent me their "Magic" jeans, a super stretchy slim fit model.

#TimeToSparkle

The party season is here!

If you follow me on Snapchat, you would remember that I had 2 quite busy days last week: I flew up and down to Copenhagen (will share that in another post), went back to Amsterdam and spent a glorious day there, shooting a Christmas collection with 5 other bloggers (Els, Hermina, Saskia, Iris and Josine) for MS Mode.

I am so happy they decided to show part of their holiday collection on a group of every day, diverse women, with different body shapes and sizes. We're not models. We're not perfect (actually no one is) and it may help a lot of you to see the clothing on someone your own size. I had a great day, and the lovely girls at MS Mode catered to our every need. Thanks so much for having us! Now, when it comes to photoshoots, what I dislike most is that you're anxious to see the final results and sometimes it takes so long. But man, were these pictures fast! So today, I present you, the results of the shoot! Details on my dress further down in this post.

Sandy.

Chances are that by the time you're reading this, I'm probably on my way to the airport, for a super quick trip to Denmark :) (add me on snapchat for more on that, find me on supersizemyfash). I have lots to do in two days and honestly, I don't know in what state I will be back behind my desk this Friday... Well, that' still two days away so we'll see about that later.

In other news, I think my bare legged days are REALLY over now :/ While for the most part November was exceptionally soft and gentle, it has now really shifted. As I had to scrape the ice of my car windows this morning, I've come to accept that I have to say goodbye to my tight-less legs for now. So glad I still got to wear this though, I love earthly and nude tones and let's be honest, my legs fit this color palette perfectly :)

Be back soon,
xoxo

Skirt day

If you follow me on Snapchat (supersizemyfash), you would have seen that last week I cleaned out my closet. I am sorting items to sell at the upcoming Shop my closet event on November 1st (yes Dutchies!) in Vught. Anyway, I noticed that I have so many skirts that I just don't wear enough, but I'm still not ready to part with them. So now, I have taken it upon me to wear skirts more often, even if though it's getting colder outside. Opaque tights are a perfect option to pair them with and I actually feel they bring their own charm to a look. Another thing is this coat...

A few weeks back I was invited to MS Mode's A/W 15 collection launch and boy was I pleasantly surprised! They have sooo many cute styles coming up this season! As I am a real sucker for coats, this one was one of my top picks. Faux leather biker jackets are always a win, whether Spring or Fall, and this collar was the deal maker for me. I actually wore this exact outfit to the event and the coat complimented the outfit so well that I decided to make a post with it. Paired with my all time favorite glitter boots I think it's safe to say this Fall outfit is a win!
