Outfit // Royal

I've been loving history as long as I can remember; it was my favorite class in high school and I finished my bachelor in history and English. Ancient Egypt has always caught my curiousity and triggered me to read and learn about it. We know so much, yet so little about it.

I remember that in high school, my class had to pick an historic figure and give a speech about it. My choice was Tutankhamun, or also known as King Tut. This young pharaoh ruled during the 18th dynasty and even though he didn't accomplish anything admirable during his reign, we all know him. Howard Carter discovered the tomb of Tutankhamun in the Valley Of The Kings on 4 November 1922; one day before my birthday. Coincidence? I think not. Sorry, I can be very obsessive when it comes to Ancient Egypt. Anyway, he did not only discover King Tut's mummified body, but also a huge treasure that was scattered all over the tomb. The most valuable and well known item that was found that day, is Tut's solid gold burial mask. It was always a dream of mine to discover a pharaoh's tomb that has been left untouched - since most of them have been raided by thieves - but I think it's safe to say that it ain't gonna happen any time soon (or ever, for that matter). I could go on about this topic for days, but at least now you know why I'm such a huge history lover.

Anyway, back to my high school days. I gave my speech about Tutankhamun and got an A+. The teacher even forgave me for talking about Howard Hughes instead of Howard Carter. I had seen the movie 'The Aviator' just the day before - they were playing it on TV - and he had seen it too, so he understood the mix up and was quite amused about it. 

When Fusion Clothing gave me the opportunity to choose one of their sweaters, I immediately clicked the King Tut sweater home. I just L-O-V-E it. I love how bold and eye catching the sweater is. You really don't need more to pimp out your outfit to the max. Even though we are experiencing tropical temperatures here in Belgium the last couple of days, I still found a way to make the sweater work: tank top, denim short and my beloved sweater tied around my waist.

SHOP THE LOOK:

New // Maje Dress

Spring and summer are slowly making their entrance in my closet lately. I spotted this powder pink hippie kinda dress at the Maje outlet shop at Maasmechelen Village, at 70 % off. #Score Yes, I know, this dress isn't something I'd usually wear, but so many combinations came to me when I saw it, that I just had to take it home with me.

Just think about it... You can wear it with a big chunky belt, or without it. Combine it with tons of jewelry or go for the simple, delicate, ladylike bling. Wear it with sandals or ballerina flats. Or go for a pair of Minnetonka fringed boots or heavier ones à la Acne Pistol boots for that rock 'n roll touch. Let us not forget a pair of pumps to complete your party outfit. Add a fedora hat to it or put a crown of flowers in your hair to channel your inner Lana Del Rey / hippie.

See? The options are endless, literally.

Outfit // Denim State Of Mind

I found this denim shirt hidden in the back of my closet and the first - and only - time I wore it was here... Which reminds me that I also have to wear that McQueen scarf again. Other goodies making a debut on the blog: this gorgeous necklace from the H&M Autumn/Winter 2013 collection and the studded sneakers. I got them the Maje store at Maasmechelen Village with great discount. You gotta love outlet shopping malls! What do you think about this outfit? My dad thinks it's ugly, but then again, who cares?

I'm not really in a talkative mood today. I'm still tired from last night; I went to our local pub to celebrate a friend's new job. If things go well, I might be working again myself soon -- not as a teacher, but as a sales girl. I don't understand how it can be so hard to find a job as a teacher, but it's difficult for me to sit at home and do nothing. And since fashion is my greatest passion in the first place, I'm totally thrilled and excited to work at a clothing store. I'll tell you more about it when it's official!

Enjoy your Sunday, y'all.

Outfit // Baby Shower

No worries, there are no mini sharks on their way. Picked out this outfit for my nail stylist's baby shower this afternoon. This sequined blazer was tucked away in my closet for too long, so I decided to take it out for a spin again. Now all I need is a whip and one of those big, high hats and I'm ready to start my career as a female circus director.

I'd also like to thank you for the get well wishes you left in the comment box of my previous post. So sweet! As you can tell from the radiant freshness beaming from my face, I'm not healed 100 % yet, but at least I'm able to stand on my feet again. I apologize in advance for the less glamorous face compared to my previous outfit post. God, such a difference. 

I'd also like to mention that I absolutely hate taking outfit pictures inside. They always seem kinda blurry. Am I the only one this happens to? It's raining cat and dogs outside, so I don't really have any other choice. Plus, I'm not going to complain about the weather too much. I hate it when people complain about the weather. (I'm tired of all the antibiotics, that's why I'm being such a bitch, sorry.)

Have a nice weekend, y'all!

A couple of weeks ago, I attended a party at Maasmechelen Village to celebrate the fact that they are providing my little home town with some fashionable stores for 10 years now. I got snapped by the Style Today-crew, but totally forgot about it. Thank you, Valerie, for letting me know!

So, that's me on the right and I was wearing my sequined blazer by Maje, a white tank top from H&M, a bag by Chanel and some H&M-pants and New Look-pumps which (obviously) aren't visible on the picture.

My internship will end this Thursday and I promise you that I'll be more than back then!

Have a nice weekend, y'all!

Featured along two of my favorite friends / co-bloggers on Forever 21's official blog, also known as The Skinny. I'm still honored each and every time someone comes up, asking if they're allowed to take a picture of my outfit. Plus, it's a nice opportunity to show you what I wore to the F21-store preview, since the outfit-pictures I took weren't the best.

I'm usually not a big fan of sales shopping - too many people pushing and screaming, shops that look like a tornado hit them, the ultimate left overs all piled up - so when I do find something, I consider it a miracle. Before my lunch with Aureta last Friday in Brussels, I did some quick sales shopping with my mom in the stores nearby.
