Sidebun, Tartan and White Accents

dress, boots: Think Twice vintage - beret: old - tights: Pimkie - ring: Alex Monroe

I've been wearing my hair to the side a lot lately. Sort of casual yet elegant, no? And the perfect way to show of my collar. I mean I love my long hair and all, but it looks sloppy when it's just down like that on a special collar. I did a super messy braid to the side and then just folded it into a bun and binned it in place et voila: CHICNESS! I need to learn how to work this long hair thing, as I've been a short haired lass for years 'n' years now. Last time I had long hair I was 17!


Haha I was such a cliché punk girl. This was at a wedding BBQ and I wore lace up boots with my pretty dress, apart from the stacked bracelets and festival bands of course. And no bra. REBELLE

Ah, the joys of maturing. Sometimes I wish I could meet my old self to tell her stuff about life. I would've probably rolled my eyes at my older, wiser self though.



Hers was styled way better though.

  4. What a pretty dress, and that collar is super cute :) I also love your messy bun, I might give it a try sometime. Haha we share a rebel past ^^ I always find myself thinking of what would I say to my old self if I could go back in time...and I always realize that my older self probabily would have disliked the way I turned out now. Ah, growing up!

  7. How freakin adorable are you?! This is definitely one of my favourites of yours ever. That dress is amazing, especially with the tights and hat. And your hair looks pretty awesome like this, I may have to try this out

  8. Yayy, I love it when you wear that dress. And white tights. And the sideways bun is awesome. Hehe, I always feel like I can't be a real blogger because I wasn't a major rebel as a teenager; everyone else seems to have had some crazy fashion times. A bit like I can't be a real writer because I'm not suicidal or on drugs, lol. :D

  16. Hahahaha ik snap nu wel een beetje waarom dat iemand dacht dat je een nosejob hebt gehad :-D. Da's eerder perspectief en misschien een beetje gewichtsverlies ofzo maar ik vind het best grappig. Denk eens na over hoeveel celebs met dat soort shit te maken krijgen terwijl ze misschien gewoon hun hoofd op twee verschillende manieren hadden op twee verschillende foto's. Ik vind hairdo's zonder pony wel leuker bij je staan, ookal was dat een snoezige hairdo. Hele mooie jurk en je haar is echt cool zo! Je bent nog best veel veranderd sinds je zeventiende.

  18. ja ok maar dat is EEN foto he terwijl jullie nu duizend foto's van me kunnen zien vanuit allerlei hoeken, including de hoek die ik aanneem daar op die foto! :D en ik vind pony's wel leuk maar ik sta inderdaad beter zonder, dan is m'n gezicht expressiever ipv een bolletje vol HAAR

  21. Love the outfit! You look like you belong in 60's London. Again. :D I really love these styles of dresses but I always feel like I'm wearing a costume when I put them on. You look so natural and 'you' in it though!

  22. Haha, totally agree on that 'joys of maturing' part, would've told my old self a lot of things I'd probably should have known then.. Nice outfit!

  23. That dress is so incredibly cute! I love the beret and patterned tights with it.
    I know what you mean about not knowing what to do with your longer hair. I haven't had hair this long since I was in 6th grade. I don't know what else to do other than blowdry it haha

  24. Pretty tartan dress! You definitely rock Mod looks. I used to be super preppy in high school, my style has DEFINITELY evolved since then for the better.

  25. haha you crack me up, somehow this makes me think you weren't all that diff back then. of course wiser now, but always great at expressing yourself through style. love this dress w/ the boots and beret, such a great schoolgirl look.
