To become a swan you must first be an ugly ducklin To become a swan you must first be an ugly duckling 🐣

Say hello to my little friend 👋 We met at "Cycling Through the Water" in Belgium. He was mostly interested in the contents of my back pack and willingly posed for a few pictures, hoping I would share my snacks. Unfortunately for him, this girl does not share snacks! Once he realised he wasn't going to get anything, he dumped me for another tourist 🤷‍♀️

This idyllic spot can be found along the popular hiking and cycling network between Bokrijk and National Park Hoge Kempen in Limburg (which happen to be two of my favorite places in the province!). My friend and I arrived just in time for sunset and enjoyed a little walk around. It was a Tuesday evening in December, but still lots and lots of people were hanging out and social distancing wasn't always easy on the narrow paths. I am casually hiding my mask and other people in the second picture 😉

I still think about that time (2012-2013-ish) a lot and it makes me sad because it will never be like that again. Going out to shoot 2x a week, edit and post pictures to the internet, writing a blurb of text about myself and then on to read as many other blogs as I could find. I don't know how I ever found the time to do all of that?? 😅

Not that it was all rosy. I remember I was unhappy about my blog, always wanting it to be better and have more outfits to share.

I definitely wasn't the most well-known fashion blogger with the bestest sponsorships, but I was having an enjoyable time with enjoyable people.

If You Can’t Go To The Palm Trees…

Long tome no see here on The Ginger Diaries! I haven’t found my rhythm back since school went out and we moved house. Life is hectic at the moment and I had so much things to take care of that I let my blog out of my sight. My boyfriend and I took a break from on Friday and decided to soak up some sun and go out for dinner. Before we headed out we went location spotting for the blog in our new hometown and used the time to shoot my ootd at once. I must admit that this outfit is unusual for me and I am still not completely comfortable wearing the cropped top out during the day, but I’m getting used to it… I think.  I did change into a tried-and-tested LBD for dinner, haha.
Last year Topshop had a beautiful palm leaf print crop top in their summer collection but even though I really liked the print, I was unsure I’d dare to wear the short top and I also didn’t have anything fitting to pair it with. Of course I had regrets as soon as the top sold out and I found myself looking for something similar this Spring. New Look isn’t a store that I step into often, but their collection had surprised me earlier this year so I decided to stop by again on a recent shopping trip. This black pencil skirt I found at F21 for a whopping €12.50 turned out to be the perfect partner for my newest wardrobe addition.
I can’t really concentrate on what I am writing, which probably shows in the grammar and poor text construction, because I have to get a couple more things done before K comes home from work in an hour. I hope you guys like the outfit and I’ll be back to blogging more regularly (and hopefully more qualitatively) soon! 

crop top: New Look • pencil skirt: Forever 21 • ring: Six • heels: Cypres • cross-body bag: Kate Spade ‘Little Minka’

    The palm tree print is adorable! You wore your crop top perfectly here with the high-waisted skirt. If I had a crop top, I’d wear it in a similar way but I’m still not too comfortable with the idea! haha
