POD - All about accessories

Okay - so several things were strange about yesterdays quick shoot for todays Plussize Outfit Day. First of all I've been SUPER busy lately and I just got home from Amsterdam and totally forgot about POD being just around the corner. So I'll admit it; this happened rather quickly.

Another thing is: I don't really see myself as an accessories kinda girl - not big or many accessories anyway. So I didn't really know what to do this time.

So I started out with a black top and a black maxiskirt. And a bit of mascara. Nothing else. Nothing special. Then I went inside again and threw on some things. And went outside again - and then some more strange things happened. I was very tired from arriving in Copenhagen late last night and then waking up early at my boyfriend's brother's house to get to the bus and go all the way back to Aarhus. Then when we arrived in Aarhus we went straight to my boyfriend's parents to spend the day with his family. So suddenly my bag flew out of my hands and my neighbour opened his door (and no - I'm still not used to people seeing us taking pictures of me). 

Anyway! This is what I did. A blue jacket (I'll let myself call it an accesorie!), a (flying) bag and a statement necklace. And then I went inside as soon as my neighbour walked out... 

Remember to check out the other girls and their accessories!

BFSC Wear a cropped top

I can't believe that after I post this, I only have one more challenge to do. The Big Fat Summer Challenge is coming to an end and I actually think it's kind of sad. I've been having so much fun with planning the outfits, pushing my comfort zone and getting inspired by all the other wonderful ladies taking part in the fun. I can't wait until Jennifer (or someone else?) will do another fall/winter/spring/summer/something-challenge. 

With this post I'll cross the cropped top of my list. Along with the two pieced bikini it send the biggest shivers down my spines and made me really nervous. I had an outfit planned in my head for quite a while, but couldn't get around to do it and then I stumpled across this top in H&M, fell in love with the colour (I've been wearing blue all summer...) and brought it home. 

At first I thought I would style it with my "Hi Lo"-skirt, but then I accidentally bought jeans as well... And a denim-jacket. Woops. So when I got back from work yesterday I did an outfit with the jeans and the top. The pictures didn't come out all that great, if you ask me, so today when I got back from work I did it with the skirt instead. And the denim jacket, because it is colder than yesterday! Apart from other shoes as well the rest is the same; same hair, same make-up, same nail-polish, same watch, same jewelry, same bag. Well, same me. And most importantly; same cropped top. And now I can't choose - so I'll show you both.

When I look at these pictures again I can't help to think, that maybe some shapewear would've done me good. But I do not own such a thing and then again... That's just how I look. I don't even really like wearing shapewear (based on the times I've tried them on...) and I won't buy one before I find one that feels comfortable. And then again; I really don't think shapewear should be mandatory just because you have wobbly bits.

 Okay... So even though I really like this top and it's very comfortable... After standing with my hands over my head I can't help to do this:

BFSC Wear a high waisted bottom

The sun is finally here (but the weather man says it'll be gone tomorrow....) so I took the opportunity and threw this outfit together when I got back home from a wonderful afternoon, which I spend in town with a friend and "her" two little boys (guess I need to tell you, that she's a fulltime nanny, just to get that clear). I changed clothes because:

1. What I was wearing before was a bit too hot for a walk with my boyfriend

2. I wanted to post another outfit for the Big Fat Summer Challenge before I'm going to Germany

3. I'm trying to figure out what I'm throwing in my suitcase for the trip. This might be an option! 

4. I wanted to show you my legs again... Oh wait; that wasn't one of my reasons, but you sure have been seeing a lot of my pale legs lately! 

Cardigan - Zhenzi / T-shirt - (very old) HM / Skirt - Carmakoma /
Bag - Friis & Company / Shoes - ShoeBiz

It's the first time I've been wearing this skirt without tights and I never even thought I would do that. But I figured it's a waste to put it in the back of my closet, just because it's too hot for tights. And I also figured that the reason I joined this challenge in the beginning was that I wanted to challenge my self and experiment with my outfits - so here it goes!

And last but not least; a close up to show off my new lipstick. I've been looking for an "everyday"-red since forever and I (well... actually my boyfriend) found it the other day. I'm so happy about it! Next step; Do something about my hair! I'm tired of it almost every day, because it has that lenght just in between where it's hard to style, because it's either too long or too short. And because my hairdresser forgot to cut it thin enough and therefore it takes forever to dry or straighten. And because the tips of my hair have their own lifes and wont stop pointing in every direction. I can't quite figure out if I should get a haircut, let it grow long, colour it or.... Well, I don't know. If you have any ideas please say so! At least I like the braid I did today.

Oh well; with this post I'm checking off the fourth challenge. Almost halfway!
