Fashion Understatement: The average Dutch woman has this practical look. Always, Why???
You know the type with the leggings over a skirt, 3/4 pants, uggs, too tight clothing... I mean WHY???
Bad Buy: I always try to buy heels. Every time I do, I never wear them and give them away to my friends.
I have one pair left, which are technically not heels. A pair of heeled dessert boots, so called wedges.
Aghum....... :-)
Ultimate Styling Tip: Invest in basics and do not make it complicated for yourself. Look at you body, be honest, do not follow trends, but dress your body. Like the Parisienne do, fitted top, wide bottom. Fitted bottom, wide top!
You can't go wrong with that!
And again this week, I met an inspiring woman.
Such a pretty intelligent girl, who is always surrounded by men.
You do not meet a lot of girls when you study organic chemistry and stand in a lab all day.
So she loves to wear great clean cut clothes and look sexy without heels.
I think that is an achievement already :-)
(not that you always have to wear heels to look sexy, for the critic among us)
Thank you Simone for welcoming me in your student room/home
and share your Closet with me/ us!
