and she volunteered to take some outfit photos – but what to wear? I tried on various things but wasn’t happy at all and finally gave up and just put on jeans and a black blazer… not a bad choice as I immediately felt confident!

Opt for something you feel positive in and add something special or different for the occasion: A trendy scarf, big earrings, a statement necklace, glamourous heels, fake fur, an awesome bag in a bright colour…
On a different note:
What a fantastic feeling that my blog has been mentioned in The Wall Street Journal together with a couple of fabulous blogger friends just a couple of days ago! I had to share the link as I am absolutely thrilled… 🙂

Im Zweifel, lieber zum gewohnten Lieblingslook greifen.
weiß, dass ich kein casual Jeanstyp bin und so verlangten meine Basics nach
etwas besonderem. Und mein neuer, superweicher Leoschal, den mir
Véronique zum Geburtstag geschenkt hat, passte perfekt dazu!
In anderer Sache:
Könnt Ihr Euch vorstellen, wie ich mich gefreut habe, als ich erfuhr, dass ich mit einigen tollen Bloggerkolleginnen im renommierten The Wall Street Journal
als einer der besten Blogs für modische, stilsichere Frauen meiner Altersklasse erwähnt wurde??
