Don't Paint It Black

Hi guys :-)


I'm sorry, I haven't posted in a while & I can't check your blogs as often as I'd like to :-( So please don't think I'm ignoring you, I just happen to be really busy these days & can't sit in front of the computer as often as I'd like to.


Today I'd like to show you an outfit that I wore a few days ago. As much as I love the color black, I decided this year I should try to think out of the box & try to wear more colorful outfits. 
I already bought several floral print dresses & skirts, but it's still too cold to wear them. Even though it has gotten warmer with lots of sunshine, unfortunately the air is still pretty cold.


So this is my first take on a not solely black outfit:








My boyfriend came home & made fun of me while I tried to take a pic.
I couldn't stop giggling because he acted so silly :-D


The pattern of my dress.


Jewelry & Chanel "Black Pearl" polish.


Earring.


My favorite boots ever! They are so comfortable & I wear them all the time.

dress: C&A

scarf: From a little boutique near to where I live.

leggins: American Apparel

shoes: Deichmann


Me, wearing my nude everyday make up. In everyday life, I often don't have the time to put on a whole lot of make up (& admittingly, I can be a little lazy, too *g*).
Sorry, the quality of my photo is even worse than usual. I've no clue why that is, I think the lighting was pretty bad.

eyes: MAC "Shroom" all over lid & to highlight. MAC "Satin Taupe" in crease. No liner.

face: MAC Mineralize Satinfinish foundation in NW20

cheeks: MAC "Melba"

lips: MAC "Hug Me"

polish: Chanel "Black Pearl"

I'm also wearing a pigtail headband that I purchased a few weeks ago from eBay.
If I remember correctly, it's a Singapore based seller.
As I could only go from the pictures he posted, I was a little unsure about which color to choose.
Then I decided to go for light brown, even though I think my hair isn't light but rather medium brown. Anyways, turned out the color of the hairband looks exactly like the swatch *yay* IMO, it matches my haircolor pretty well.

    This is such a good idea with the braided headband, it's easier this way, because I'm not that good at braiding my hair.

  55. Ooooh I love how your hair is done!
    I'm working on wearing less black, too :d
    Take your time to answer the e-mail, I understand how it feels like when you have a dozen of things on your to-do-list :d

    I'm working in the garden for about an hour everyday now, lol. People in Belgium are crazy about super neat grass lik they have on football fieds. And perfect square hedges and stuff. Even though Japanese/chinese gardens happen to be a bit like that, too, I love them! And I also love wild ones :d
    I was very sad about Elizabeth Taylor, too, but I'm glad she had to chance to age gracefully. Not like Marilyn, her life was so sad :( She was so young and I think only few people understood her...

    Most of all I listen to music from the fifties, sixties,... I also love music from the nineties :d And the hip hop and R&B that was made between 1990 - 2005. Something like that:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IVMKQP0K3a0
    Memories! I rarely listen to evanescence or nightwish, but when I have a mood like that, I listen to it for about 4 days non-stop. And native american music. For some reason I really feel connected with Native Americans. I cry at this song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hd_EVVXp0_4 {the text in the beginning...}

    And this is my current obsession: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z4joDAJQA30

    I almost forgot to mention that in these pictures you can tell your a German woman, there's something in your face that reminds me of other famous german women. {And then I have Claudia Schiffer in mind and not Angela Merkel...} You are beautiful!

  58. I always notice your hair first and I was just about to comment about your plaits when i saw it’s a hair band. It looks just like your actual hair colour and I love your hair colour so much! It has an ashen brown tone to it that I absolutely adore. I like your black boots too coz the ribbons are so unique.
    I’ve completed your tag and I’ve also tagged you in another tag. If you’re bz, it’s perfectly ok. I just tot it would be fun.
