Today I wore the shirt backwards, as a dress, with a belted waist and blazer. I wore a simple tee underneath because it felt a bit short. Despite the fact that I’m really sick of this shirt now, I’m glad I decided to challenge myself this week, because I’ve learned a lot. I’ve learned that I need more basic clothing. I’m blessed with a lot of unique pieces, but without certain basics I find myself somewhat paralyzed. It’s ironic, and kind of funny, that by incorporating one item in all of my outfits throughout this week, I’ve found out I need more clothing. OK, I don’t need more clothing – but I’d really-really like it!

Of course, the kitty wanted to join me today too. I tried burying her in snow.. It didn’t work very well. So, my outfit consists of a cats butt and some clothing :p

Hello!, our kitty says. Her name is Emma, and she was somewhat unwillingly photographed. She just wanted to play around in the snow beside me, while occasionally walking into the frame showing of her butt. This mysteriously happened the instant I pressed the timer on my camera.

I will tell you, it’s great to wear a dress again. I feel liberated! Sometimes I’m like a walking advertisement for tights and dresses. My slogan should most definitely be: “dresses and tights – a way of life!”. There, I said it.

I’m feeling somewhat childish in this outfit, and it’s kind of great. I just want to run around in the snow, playing with the kitty, but I’m afraid my schedule today just doesn’t allow me to. When I think about it, a grownups schedule almost never allows one to run around playing in the snow. I’ll have to put it on my todo-list.

I will honestly say that I’m getting pretty sick of this shirt now. Only one more to go in this challenge, but I have no idea what to pair it with!

Oh no, I wore ripped jeans!
The voices in my head told me to?

This is my third try on that plaid-shirt challenge of mine. Two to go!

Well, I think it’s about time I share some information to why I usually do not wear jeans. First of all; I think they are tight and quite uncomfortable, as I prefer being able to breathe with my belly and eat more than one meal a day. Second; I don’t like the colors they come in, except from the black ones, of course. Third: they make my butt look long! I prefer stockings, tights, leggings and such. Push-up, hold-in, squeeze-up. They are much more.. flexible, if I can say that?

That said, I still wanted to pair my shirt with these little, ripped blues today. Mostly because I wanted to see how it looked, and partially because of a somewhat lumberjack association I had last night. The Clothes Horse also inspired me a couple of weeks ago when she showed off her version of jeans. On another note: I’m still not sure about these boots. I’ve worn them about.. three times? Brown frightens me, it seems. I don’t know why! So, todays outfit is truly a mess-up. And, I kind of love it!

April in Paris featured me on their blog today! And, with creative artwork, they made my outfits look much better. I also did an interview which had some interesting questions, like my favorite bad word! I’m really excited, and if you would check it out: just click here :)

In honor of the 300th post on my blog, I’ve decided to challenge myself this week – by using yesterdays plaid/flannel shirt in at least five different outfits, including Mondays mess-up , of course. I wonder how this is going to work..? I need to remind myself that creativity is key.

Wish me luck!

I guess this is kind of a Monday mess-up, as I had to try out a new combination: velvet and plaid. It’s rather comfortable, I must say. It’s cold, colder, coldest – which is quite ironic considering the sun finally came back today! I felt it on my chin, as I stuck my head out the bedroom-window this morning, with a somewhat curious anticipation. And I instantly knew I had to layer myself up. The thermometer was showing -12 ºC /10.4 ºF. That’s simply just too cold for me! I really didn’t want to take any outfit pictures out in the snow today, but for some reason unknown; I did. I’ll admit that this probably was the shortest shoot I’ve done since starting up. With good reasons, I might add!

I haven’t worn a maxi-skirt in years, but I suddenly felt the urge to try it on this morning. I went with this romantic vibe; as I sensed a little bit of love in the air. The sun almost revealed its rays today, barely peaking up over those overwhelming mountains at one o’clock.
