From the long way that I've come

FLORAL DRESS* - Wholesale7
HAT - H&M
PLATFORM SHOES - Jeffrey Campbell Muster via Second hand
LEATHER JACKET - Second hand

Who doesn't love to mix romantic with tough eh? I like the sweet with some bitter, like good chocolate. So I think a floral chiffon dress looks best with a studded belt and a leather jacket! And I got to style my new (old) Jeffrey Campbells. They are crazy. I love them. I'm almost 2 meters in them yay!

I'm very fond of this new dress, because it's has no zippers/buttons, my favourite kind of dress! I want to be able to move around and be comfortable, and the lack of zippers and such make it so. It's fully lined too, which is great, so it's silky smooth on the inside :)

FLORAL DRESS - H&M
BLACK NEO BOOTS - UNIF
HAT - H&M

I'm a sucker for 70's fashion in general, and these balloon sleeves from Wholesale7 are perfect for layering under a dress like this to get that lil 70's touch. Pop a big hat on top of it and voilá! Yes, I felt pretty in this, and maybe you can tell I long for summer, because this outfit does _not_ work in the weather we have here right now :( The sleeves have sort of sleeves inside them, so you have one sleeve against your arm, and I guess it is for the balloon part to be... um.. balloon-y? :D It's nice!

Best intentions

DENIM JACKET* - Wholesale7
LIPSTICK* - Dresslink
FLORAL DRESS - Forever21
BOOTS - Dr. Martens
BIG SMILEY PIN - Second hand
SMALL SMILEY PIN - Bruised Tongue

I'm still having a hard time in my private life, but I know I've made the right decisions and in the end things will be all right :)

Sooooo what am I wearing? I have a denim jacket already, but it's really over size and a bit darker. I've been looking for a shorter and model and lighter colour, and since I've come over my fear of distressed denim (last summer.. :P) in general, I felt this would fill this hole in my wardrobe. It's obviously too cold to wear as a jacket right now though, but today I wore it with a leather jacket over. I think I'll distress it even more, which I think will be easy since the fabric is quite thin. Funny thing with this jacket though: the buttons are very noisy :P And the button holes are not actual holes :P I'm going to cut mine up so I can button it, and I doubt it will be any trouble.

I don't know if you can see the pin from Bruised Tongue, with the venn diagram happy/sad smiley, but it's there and I totally love it. It gives me life. The design is so genius and I want to wear it all the time but also have it on display in my home! yummm

WHITE CHIFFON DRESS - Second hand

Ooooh this dress is my baby. I found it at a vintage market thingy, and I was afraid I would never use it, and I've never actually used it "for real", just for photoshoots. But I think it always looks so good, and it is really easy to carry with you because it is so thin and light.
Here are some other pictures of me in it:

GREEN WOOL DRESS - Tradera
HAT - H&M
SHOES - Sonia Rykiel for H&M

Mommas got a new dress! For me, finding good quality clothes cheap is a sport. We go to flea markets and second hand stores to dig through bags and boxes of other peoples "trash" to find treasures. I've made some great deals through the years and every time someone compliments me on my clothes, I just HAVE to tell them how much I got it for. I can't help it. "What a pretty dress" "Thanks, it was 5kr (5 cent)" EVERY. TIME. Because it's my favourite sport! So when I go on Tradera (Swedish Ebay sort of) I feel like I'm cheating. Because then there is no travelling to the other side of the city to dig through bags of trash. But sometimes I can't help it, and lately I've been searching for cheap wool clothes (because Swedish winter is coming and wool is such a fantastic material) and pretty 70s patterns. I found this green wool dress for about $12 which usually is a bit much for me, but totally ok really, and the colour is so amazing. The same seller was selling a pink one (also in wool) but the price went up a bit, and I'm not really into pink anymore so the green one it was :D

Do I have any readers that have the same favourite sport as me? What is it like where you live? Is it easy to find good second hand clothes?

Sorry for not being consequent  with the colours of the leaves, I think it's so much fun to play around with the colours when it's so easy. I can't help it.

Make it last

DRESS - Independent kostym
SOCKS - WEGO
SHOES - Second hand

First of all: I've been busy lately taking my driver's licence. A bit late you might think to yourself, but people my age living close to Stockholm don't have a lot of reasons to get one. But now I have and I'm super happy and that's that.

TODAY! We went to a great second hand market called "Make it last" in Stockholm, where a lot of stylists and blogger-fashion-cool-people-in-general sold their clothes! It was very crowded but we loved it.

So this dress. I wear it at home a lot because it's the most comfortable thing. I was very confused this morning when I was going out in it, but I think it's kind of cool too, not only comfortable.

 

And this is what I found!
