Laleh - Prinsessor
I imagine that listening to Swedish music will improve my Swedish, especially when they have poetic lyrics like this one (like I found out when I put the lyrics into Google Translator. Ha).
DRESS - MY MUM'S, BAG - FLEA MARKET, NECKLACE - SIX, BOLERO - THRIFTED (OLD NAVY), FLATS - FRENCH SUPERMARKET
This dress is very old - it used to be my mum's, and she thrifted it, so I can't be sure how old, but at least 20 years. I still wasn't quite sure about the concept of a maxi dress, but after wearing it for a day I've decided that it's the most comfortable piece of clothing that was ever invented! It looks best with bare feet, which makes it the perfect dress for going to the beach - except that I always go to the beach by bicycle, it's absolutely impossible to ride a bike in this thing!
Not long after my big rant in the latest post on how busy I am, I finally got some days off from work (three whole days, to be precise) so I got to spend some time with the cutest boy on earth. We made pasta salad and sat in the sun and it was blissfully perfect.
Oh and some of you asked questions in the comments on my latest posts so: I work in Forecast, a Dutch shop. The clothes really aren't my style but the people I work with are great. My job is to be the typical annoying shopgirl - overly friendly and helpful. It's a lot more fun than it sounds.
And I'm going to study "Taal & Communicatie" (translates to Language & Communication) at the University of Amsterdam, where apart from studying communication- and language-related subjects (and do a lot of writing) you also get to study a foreign language. I'm choosing Swedish or English, I'm not sure yet. I'm going to study this because I'd like to be an editor - maybe at a publishing house, or (hopefully) at a magazine.
Love your look!

BeantwoordenVerwijderenThat dress is actually amazing. i always thrift long dresses then chop them short, i;m going try keeping one long, you have convinced me.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenEnglish isn't your first language? wow! I'm terrible at languages so i have so much respect for those who can. I want to visit amsterdam, The art is amazing there. My friends, all boys, visited recently for an entirely different reason hmm.. i asked them about the art and they were like "what art?". They informed me they saw some windmills though. and then they looked so proud that they noticed something other than women...haha silly boys.

Such a lovely, summery dress. And the little bolero and necklace set it off perfectly. Did you go to Paris yet or is that still coming up?

I completely sympathies with you. The boutique I work at isn't my taste at all and I get trouble all of the time for not wearing things from the store. But why would I buy things that I don't really like... I mean if the owner gives me clothing I will wear it but otherwise I'm sticking to my vintage finds.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenYou have a beautiful blog <3
BeantwoordenVerwijderencute outfits too
