FASHION - The Jumpsuit

Happy holidays everyone! I hope that you too have decorated a tree, dressed up, wrapped presents, unwrapped presents, visited family, stuffed your belly with lasagna, and over all just had the greatest time of the year. I can't put my finger on why exactly I love this time of the year so much, but I just had such a great and cozy week! Riding my bike through the streets on christmas day and just knowing that every single house is packed with families having christmas parties makes me so happy.

I think I might love family parties more than going out dancing. I know I sound like a grandma over here, but I just love to dress up and not having to worry about my shoes getting dirty or my dress getting ripped. Don't get me wrong, I do love dancing. And believe me when I say I go crazy when my jam comes on, but don't you just love the comfort of a warm home, family, free food and free drinks? 

As a shorty I rarely find dresses that don't come over my knee. But when I saw this one hanging in Zara I thought I'd give it a try. I was very surprised when I tried it on and it appeared to be a jumpsuit! Apart from the waist being a tiny bit to large, this jumpsuit fits me perfectly! And at the end of the night, many bites and sips later, that extra waist space comes in very handy.

I love how the arms are covered but it shows a lot of the chest. But because that wasn't really family-party-appropriate, I covered THAT area with a bandeau from American Apparel.

The only thing that I don't love about this jumpsuit is that it is very hard to unzip. I made sure I had some family members near me to help me out whenever I had to visit the bathroom after a few too many drinks.

Merry Christmas and a happy new year!

OOTN - The Grandpa Shirt

 What's wrong with my hand? It looks very strange...

Boyfriend jeans, boyfriend shirt, boyfriend sweater... I introduce you to the grandpa shirt. Yes, it's a thing. We, single girls, get to be fashionable too, don't we? So, when there's no boyfriend around to let us wear their clothes, that's when the grandpa comes in handy. And let's be real, who's boyfriend is that big that you can where his shirt as a dress? None, but let me tell you my grandpa has twice my length which makes me a lucky girl. 

So, now you have another reason to visit your grandparents.

This is the outfit I wore when we got out for dinner and unexpected drinks. This lose shirt came in very handy since it did a great job at hiding my tummy that was busy processing a calzone quattro fromaggi. It was de-licious. Something you should definitely try when on the menu, but I do recommend you to order a side salad, because dough and cheese can be a little much for some people. Not for me since I can fit as much as I want into my stomach but that's another story... 

PS: don't mind my awkward posing, one day I might be as comfortable at doing it as The Blond Salad seems to be.

PPS: I did were shorts underneath just to be sure...

I hope you're having a wonderful summer!

STUDY BREAK

Oh man, what a day it has been... 

My exams haven't even begun yet and I'm already at that stage where I'm like: This needs to come to an end. It's been four days in a row of waking up at 6am, wearing no make-up, and craving food and freedom. 

When I looked down at a text about the history of Germany, I got a "mental breakdown". Before you roll your eyes at me, you have to know that I'm very bad at history, let alone history written in German. Yes, you read that well. It was written in German! My dad entered my room and obligated me to go out and have a coffee. That's why I love my parents, they are the exact opposite of all other parents. 

I haven't posted an "outfit of the day" in a while now but that's because it wouldn't very be interesting for you guys to hear me talking about sweatpants and Christmas sweaters. 

The thing is, when I don't wear make-up and dress comfy, I start to feel like I actually am ill and lazy because that is how I look. So I put on my heals and got out the door to set my mind of things. It did me real good.
Sometimes you just have to tell yourself that it isn't that big of a deal and failing happens to everybody. I just need to remind myself that I can't do anything more than my best. And we are human, it is normal not to be able to study for 12 hours a day. It is normal to fail an exam and it is not the end of the world. We are all in this together and look at all those adults who've been through this too. Do you ever hear them moan about how much they hated high school? Barely. Which means it will be over before we know it. I won't say you have to enjoy your time in high school, because I just don't understand how people can. But I do tell you that you'll get through it eventually and if you can actually like school, you are blessed. Because I most certainly can't.
