Alas I cannot swim



(Turnover blazer, COS tank top and skirt and Essentiel strappy heels)

Before I decided to wear this tank top for the umptieth time, I tried on two other combinations. Both were greeted with a definite 'no' from my mom and sister. The rejects were the black silk Dries Van Noten blouse that I scored in June ("Too winter-y") and a denim shirt ("Just plain ugly!") from Zara. I really liked how both looked but I guess I'm too scared to take some more risks when it comes to dressing up. Hence, skirt and tank top for today. Yawn.

Interesting fact of the day: when you look at my knees in the third picture, they sort of look like little faces. My friend Sofie and I used to hold knee conversations during gym class. I'm not kidding. Doesn't that sound like an awesome GIF in the making?

Those Opening Ceremony boots in the sidebar? A girl can dream.

leuke outfit! haha knee conversations, geweldig! Ik hoor wel vaker dat mensen leuke nederlandse jongens hebben gezien da kan ik me echt niet voorstellen want die lopen in mijn omgeving absoluut niet rond. Trouwens als je naar amsterdam gaat moet je er eigenlijk even voor zorgen dat je op de maandagochtend naar de noordermarkt kan, dat is zo'n beetje een vintage-walhalla en vrij goedkoop...
