Yesterday I found some inspiration for today’s outfit. While searching for fab streetstyle pictures, I often saw white tights, which reminded me of mine. I thought it would be nice to team up with a red dress, but let’s say I don’t have one. I should feel ashame right? About 1,5 year ago the color red became like the ‘it-color’ here, so I was quite bored of everyone around me wearing red which made me not want anything in that color. Now – a special thanks to Miu Miu – I love red again.
So my search (inside of my closet) continued and I finally found something red; my grandpa’s plaid oversized shirt. I teamed it up with my grandma’s oversized cardigan and a waistbelt so I wouldn’t completely look like a homeless chick (both things are REALLY oversized). I know the plaid shirt isn’t totally long enough, but I wasn’t it’s maker right, so can’t do anything about it.
Other students thought my outfit was quite ‘interesting’ again, oh well, they always do. I don’t care, cause I felt great in these clothes! Let’s say freedom y’all! Haha.

Cardigan, shirt, belt: Second-hand
Tights: C&A
Shoes: Kenneth Cole, NYC
Jewelry: Vintage
Something so sweet happened today. At school, this little girl came to me and told me – a bit silently, but enthousiastic though – she found my website trough Girlscene.nl (you know, from the contest I won) and really liked it. It seemed like she finally ‘dared’ to say this to me or something, cause of the way she acted and cause I’m like a complete stranger to her (and even older too). This is just something small but it really made my day!
I got a grade back by the way: A 5.5 for maths, quite good actually cause I expected a 4 or maybe a 5. And then, a few hours later I needed to catch up on another maths test, but it didn’t went that good… So I’m hoping for a 3! On our Dutch grade-scale of 0 to 10, that’s not quite much really. I didn’t knew anything, exept question 1 and 2, for 2 points of the 30 points in total. Hurray for me…

It looks great, specially the way you combined the colors, plus the tights give the final touch, I think.
Hey, what happened to you plants? It must be real cold or you forgot to water them.

Thank you all for the nice comments!!
@Marta: Errr, I don’t know actually. My dad waters them… And they’re like that probably because of the cold too.
29/01/2008, 20:08@Karen: Ah, too bad. But lucky you!
@Punky: That’s OK ;)

A red dress with black tights is such a great idea! With my new camel shoes it would be perfect! Thanks! :)
30/01/2008, 16:29Renée Sturme says:
@Tessa: Ahzo. Nee ik vond het echt heel lief dat ze dat zei! Ik merkte al dat ze niet zeker wist of ze dat nou zou zeggen, maar ze was volgensmij wel blij dat ze het had gedaan, haha.
30/01/2008, 19:51Dankjewel! Natuurlijk ;)
@Cily: Great in the mix with camel colored shoes, yes ;) But I did say white tights, not black. Maybe just a little writing mistake?
