When word spread about The Great Gatsby – which I still haven’t seen – everyone started talking about tenties and thirties fashion. This winter season, drop-waist dresses and tassel necklaces are everywhere. I am loving this dress from Zara and that lovely tassel necklace I spotted in the J.Crew lookbook. Since my whole fall / winter budget is currently going to household appliances and cleaning material, I will just enjoy wearing my summer-y drop-waist a littkle more and pair it with my new leopard flats for a bit of a fall feeling. I almost can’t wait until I can dust off all my fall clothes again. Fall truly is my favorite season style-wise as I feel like the colors compliment my hair well.
The past weekend was full of fun. On Thursday we packed up a backpack full of sandwiches and cans of soda for a fun day with the family at The Efteling in The Netherlands. I enjoyed roller coasters rides with my younger sister and brother,put my fear of heights to the test in the Pagoda and had delicious poffertjes at the end of the day. It was fun to release my inner child one more time before I pack up my bags and leave for university. Shopping for plates, towels, cutlery and whatnot, has made me feel like my childhood has faded into adulthood for good. I even bought a cookbook. This is going to be interesting… .
PS: I was nominated for a Liebster Award by Leen, from Strong As A Lion. Thank you Leen for thinking of me.

Zo'n jurk staat echt prachtig bij mensen met jouw figuur, jaloers! Ook heel mooi gecombineerd met die dierenprint flats ๐
Ik wil ook nog eens naar de Efteling! The flying dutchman is zooo leuk ๐

You are so skinny it's ridiculous! I say that in the best way possible, those long legs look amazing in that dress!
You look lovely!! The color is perfection on you! I saw The Great Gatsby and it was an amazing movie! I would recommend it!

I can't wait for Fall, myself. I'm sure you look AMAZING in all the fall colors with your pretty hair and pale skin. I'm pretty pale myself and just recently went red-headed, so I think I'll like Fall even better this year ๐ Also, you look great in a drop waist and I'm jealous. I couldn't wear that silhouette if I wanted to. Sadness. I shall live vicariously through you!

goodness, i need to do some traveling in Europe!

1. I really loved watching The Great Gatsby movie. There are definitely people who say they do not but I thought it was a great overview of the actual story from the book and the visuals were stunning. PLUS, the costumes and jewelry…such a lookbook!
2. You look great in this shade of green! It's so amazing with your hair
3. That dress is so lovely!! So pretty!!
That's all! =D
xo,

Leuke kleur en toffe combi met die tijger ballerina's!

What a beautiful drop waist dress! Love it!
i love this dress on you! it's a shame drop waisted dresses just don't suit my figure so i can't wear them, but it looks really pretty and elegant on you, especially the green with your red hair.

Drop-waist dresses are seriously the best, and I find them to be surprisingly flattering, too! You look absolutely lovely and this green shade is perfect on you.

Aww..sounds like a fun day. I've taken my son to a little fair that had rides and he loved it. But as I get older, I think my equilibrium is more sensitive, so I'll definitely have to take some anti-nausea medicine before we go on any big roller coasters when he's older!
Love that cute green dress! Drop waists are so fun and such a unique shape! <3

Nikki, you look so lovely and I agree, the green color suits you very much ๐
xx
Die kleur staat je zo goed! Ook toffe ballerina's ๐
Het brengt toch wat met zich mee om in te trekken in een kot :p ik moet nog een zetel en kast zoeken…
En het is een supermooi kleedje!
Wauw, wat mooi! Staat je erg goed. En je moet The Great Gatsby zeker zien en vooral lezen, echt de moeite waard! Leo is een fantastische Gatsby.
De Efteling is zo leuk! Ik ben dit jaar ook nog geweest met het jaarlijks personeelsfeest, geweldig, en je moet weten dat ik bij de jongsten ben daar ๐
Wat spannend dat je voor het eerst op kot gaat zeg! Het is fantastisch en ik kan het niet meer missen. Je gaat het heerlijk vinden.
XO Imke
die kleur staat je inderdaad heel goed!
GREEN & LEOPARD//I LOVE IT!!
I love the silhouette on this dress! Drop-waist dresses are the way to go if you don't want to go too casual or too chic. And I love the green with your ginger hair ๐ Lovely pairing!
We both wore green today! Love green on red heads ๐

I really love the 1920s, it was an interesting time and the fashion was neat, but I find it so strange that it is popular once again as it is a look that not many can pull off since it requires a more, um….slender body than most possess.
You, however, rock this look. So I'll be excited to see you in moe Roaring Twenties look ๐
Mooi kleedje, ge staat er echt goed mee! Ik had het al op twitter gezien van de efteling en nu wil ik er ook zo graag nog is naartoe haha, echt al jaren geleden. En oeh, spannend, op kot gaan! Ik ga nu een jaartje niet op kot en ik hoop misschien volgend jaar met mijn lief.
Oh wow this dress is stunning on you. Beautiful colour and I adore the dropped waist. I love incorporating elements of the 1920s into today's fashions, I must do it more often myself. The shoes are just the perfect touch for this dress.
i think this whole drop waist trend is so feminine and pretty!! love that color on you too!! ๐

What a gorgeous colour on you! You pull off the drop-waist so effortlessly!
I am so jealous of the poffertjes. I had them about half a dozen times the week I was in Amsterdam a few years ago and have been missing them ever since.
You are right that this color looks stunning with your hair, and with the leopard.

leuk jurkje en mooie foto's :)!
I have a full time job and still don't really consider myself and adult, maybe when I have kids. Good LUCK!
Heel mooi kleedje! En hmmmmm poffertjes ๐
Ooh zo zalig de Efteling, al niet meer geweest sinds ik zo nog bang kon hebben van al die grote beelden (zes dus). Erg mooi kleedje trouwens! Die drop waist is bij mij niet altijd zo mega flatterend maar jou staat het echt beeldend, mooie kleur ook!
lady, those sunbeams are practically doing a dance around you – such beautiful natural light here. i haven't seen TGG yet either but keep checking Apple TV for a sighting, can't wait! love me some Leo!!! you've sure got the outfit insp nailed down though, the drop waist dress is lovely on you and that color is splendid too!
sounds like you had the perfect weekend, one that all the kidadults in all of us could really enjoy! xo โฅ
Wat een leuk jurkje! ๐
love the combo with the green and the leopard shoes!

Ik moet ook dringend eens op zoek naar ballerina's in luipaardprint! Staan echt bij alles he? ๐
Super mooi kleedje! love it!
Ik ben ook nog op zoek naar een drop-waist jurkje, dit is echt een MOOIKE! Kan de zomer nog niet helemaal loslaten maar ik ben READY for fall want ik hoop nog voor de winter te verhuizen, bring.it.on!
