Long time no ginger hair in this feed 💁‍♀️✨

Throwback to a very spontaneous and verrry last-minute road trip to Normandy with @kristienjom last summer. We wanted a location where we could easily spend 4 days without having to travel too far or to the usual suspects (Germany, anyone?). @lehavre_etretat_tourisme had been on my to-visit list for a long time (thanks to a blog post by @dichtbijenverweg) and I convinced my friend to tag along with the promise of French wine bars and beautiful white cliffs. More on those white cliffs later. Today it's just me, my red hair and a white concrete vulcano (aka the cultural center of Le Havre).

Casual Style, Spring/Summer, Style · 31 May 2018

A Little Black Dress For Spring

I don’t buy items on a whim very often. Usually when I see something I like, I will check back on it a few times before I actually make a purchase. My modus operandi doens’t always prevent bad buys, but it has kept me from buying things that I often really seem to want at first, but would probably forget about within a week. This dress, however, was purchased within 60 seconds. And I would have been even faster if I hadn’t secured my online banking app so well, haha.

It truly was love at first sight! The 3/4 length sleeves, the belted waist and beautifully pleated skirt make this such a flattering model of dress. The modest dress length also really drew me in. Then for a split second I had doubts. I thought the price tag said €140, which seemed a crazy amount to spend on a little black dress just before the summer starts, but then I noticed a a banner saying ‘50% of for subscribers’ aaand… yeah, here we are. I had some hick-ups with the order (they sent the wrong size), but I received my new dress just in time for my trip to Barcelona!

I recently wrote a blog post about my Veja sneakers and told you how I wanted to try combining them with a dress. Everyone has been wearing sneakers with dresses and skirts for a few seasons now, but I remained hesitant about pairing the two. Maybe I just didn’t have the right sneakers for the right dress before, because I really like how this combination worked out! I’ve also worn this dress with my Teva Sandals on casual days and simple heeled sandals for when I want to look more decent. You might have also spotted the dress in my Instagram pictures from Barcelona.

    That is a beautiful dress, I can see why you just had to have it – awesome that it was on sale too! 🙂

    I really like it with the shoes, such a nice way to dress is down a little. Your hair is absolutely beautiful in these pics too, did you have it cut recently?

    Hope that you have a lovely weekend ahead of you! I have a friend’s birthday party tonight I’m looking forward to 🙂
