captain fancy pants of the swallow brigade

Hello again!

Last Friday I went shopping in Rotterdam with my sisters, Renée and Philippine (lovely girls. Except every time I ask them to make a picture of my outfit for lookbook, they laugh at me) and bought a really cool pair of burgundy peg leg trousers at Primark (and a lot of other stuff, too). I think they go really well with this navy kind of jacket and my grandma's swallow brooch!

I also photographed the pastel pink heels and the cute owl necklace I wore yesterday, because I felt you should see them from up close.

Okay that's it for today, I should be practising my presentation for the research paper about Edwardian costumes I recently made. My presentation is tomorrow and I'm freaking out, it's far too long. Oh dear. Wish me luck!

first look

Ouch, that's one seriously bad photograph of my first look. I should seriously invest in a better camera, and one that is not my sister's (: but that's probably not going to happen until after the summer holidays, for I'm saving all I can to pay for a week's journey to Portugal. Shame though, I'm wearing the cutest owl necklace ever but the photograph is far too blurred to actually see it.  

I was riding home on my bicycle after i'd finished working (I work at the library, by the way, lovely job). Most of the time I love riding my bicycle but today the weather is shitty so I didn't really enjoy. However, I was completely caught up thinking about my blog so it seemed like I was home in a minute. It normally takes twenty.

Sweater: vintage, skirt: new look, shoes: tango, belt: primark and a necklace from a lovely shop in Lucca, Italy but I didn't really try to remember its name, I'm sorry (:  

birds

It's almost seven pm and birds are still whistling outside. How's that? I think spring is on its way. In my room it feels like minus twenty though, I'm freezing!
I love birds. They're like flying weather forecasts, and they always make me very happy with their joyful singing. I went for a walk today with my mom and sister and there was this tiny bird, high in the blue sky above the field, singing loudly and moving its wings so fast I almost couldn't see them. It seemed to be in a state of enourmous excitement, which looked really funny (:
Well, no posts of dresses yet today, but I hope there will be some during this week. I tried to make a blog before, about a month ago, but I totally failed. This is my second try and I really hope I will keep it up to date and not just let it sink into oblivion again! You'll hear from me soon enough I guess (:
