K and I went out for an evening walk outfit photos (We all know we don’t actually go for the walking part, right?) for the first time since I got back from my trip to the USA. It felt a little awkward after so long! Last week I ventured out to this spot on my own to practice a little with my newest camera lens. While doing so I got stung by either a wasp or a horsefly and my leg swell twice it’s size and I got a large bruise around the bite. My doctor says I’m allergic (No kidding, Sherlock!) and gave me the smelliest creme ever, haha. Too some people’s horror, I tweeted a photo of it after it happended, but I can asure you the smelly cream did it’s job and apart from an itchy spot my leg is fine now. Off to enjoy summer again!
My new best wardrobe friend: Denim shirt
Wearing: AE outfitters Denim shirt – Oasis dress (via Asos) – Nine West flats – Old Navy bag – Pieces belt
I haven’t been around the bloggin’ block that much lately. After the exams and my time off my social life came back knocking on my door and I like it beeing back full time. With our crazy thunder-y Belgian weather we mostely have to stay in and watch old seasons of Bones and movies on Prime, whilest drinking fresh raspberries smoothies and having the obligated discussion on how hot/not hot Ryan Gosling is, but still I get a really summer-y feeling.
Also, meet my new best friend. This denim fella plays so well with my dresses and skirts that I can’t stop wearing it. When I first met him on Broadway I wasn’t too sure, but I couldn’t get him out of my mind and when we walked by and AE again a few days later I gave in and bought this overpriced beauty. I’m glad I did though, He’s a great cover up on a chilly evening and he’ll get me far into fall too!
How’s everyone doing around here?
xo, Nikki

ooh ik hou zoveel van denim shirt als ik van parka's hou 🙂 wel oppassen met double denim denk ik dan soms 😉
Toffe foto's, ya ginger hair is looking smoking hot!
Kultur und Stil says
Oh, I'm sorry to hear that! I also tend to get "huge" spots when something bites me, even if it's a simple mosquito.
Well, apart from that, the spot you discovered is really nice though! And I also love denim shirts, but I don't really wear mine very often… And your little yellow bag is so cute!

Beautiful photos + outfit as always, you look like straight from a fairytale! 🙂 And that bench is supercute!
Angie Bailey says
Your glasses!!! I love them. 😀 They go SO well with your hair. Also, that denim shirt is so pretty – I have a few denim jackets that I love, yet rarely wear (I get hot so easily!) I'll need to break them out next time we're having a cold spell. 😀
Dilan Dilir says
such a pretty otufit 😀
Kelly says
Love the denim shirt – I really like the AE one they have but in the darker wash as well. I've been eyeing that one up recently. I think it would be a great transition item into fall but you're right, it's so expensive for a shirt!
Meli says
Oo poor thing! Stay away from outfit pictures in meadows where there'll be more bugs!! I like the denim shirt; I have one too that I use as a jacket all summer long. It's perfect for throwing over your outfit once the sun goes down!
Sian Thomas says
Love this outfit =D It's simple but really cute!! I love the pops of yellow in it especially =D Hope your leg's feeling a lot better now!

That dress is wonderful, and looks so great paired with the denim! Glad you're enjoying the summer to its fullest, despite the bad weather. 🙂
Maria Flicka says

You have a great blog! I'd love if you checked out my blog, and if you like it, can we follow each other? I promise I’ll follow you back!

Oh no! I found out last summer that I was allergic to wasps too. Darn bugs! Congrats on the new denim blouse. I wear mine aallllllllllllll the time.
Rachel W. says
Okay, okay, we were both just over at Just Take a Bow talking about leaving meaningful comments– but all I want to do is exclaim over how adorable you are! Your glasses! Your neon bag!
On a (slightly less shallow?) note, high five on finding a shirt that works over this dress. I get the feeling the outfit would look a bit more formal without that completing piece: the denim keeps everything casual and perfectly summery. I want to try this, now!
Sabrina says
You have good reason to make that denim fella your new best friend. It would go great with everything! I love how you wore it over the stripes, and the outfit looks amazing with the pops of yellow. Awesome styling!
Sincerely,
Sabrina

Oh my word, I'm so eager for fall to arrive! I can't wait to pull out my chambray button down once these 100 degree temps are gone. It's such a versatile piece…and you've worn it one of my fav ways, it's SO CHIC with stripes! Love those cute shoes too 🙂

Lovely pictures – I like your yellow accessories and that shirt is a great layering piece.
Glad your leg is better, sounds like it was pretty scary!

That is definitely a closet staple and if you use it a lot you'll definitely get your money's worth out of it.
Jessica @ Here(and)Now says
yay! You're back! I love a good denim shirt, and your styling is perfect! Such a closet workhorse… you will get your money's worth, even if it was overpriced (what isn't in AE!?)

Echt een mooie outfit, en leuke plaats om foto's te nemen. Jammer van die beet die je hebt gehad, dat is het stomme aan de zomer… Gelukkig had je de dokter 😉
Ik vind het echt leuk hoe je deze simpele outfit hebt gecombineerd met gele accenten, echt leuk!
Xo, Imke

1. I cannot seem to find a denim/chambray shirt that I actually like. Gimme yours, haha.
2. Yikes about the insect attack. I'm not allergic to those (yet) but my body freaks out when I get mosquito bites.
3. Hopefully blogging doesn't continue to feel awkward!

Heel mooi, denim met streepjes. Ik hou van deze stijl.
Balen dat je bent gebeten :-(.
