Another Dressember: festive!

Yesterday I was all in clad holiday spirit, but my day got quickly really bad (on the way to uni I poured my latte all over myself in the tram, uggh. And then I failed a test://) but luckily I went to the pub with a classmate and drank the pain away. And thus today I slept in - skipping class - and am all like "what's going on?" It iss a good day. I am about to go brave the world and am heading out to my parents' house to pick some stuff up and then I need to head to the post office..

Wearing: H&M leather skirt, F&F holiday socks, H&M tights, H&M brogues, Zara tee, Clarie's Santa hairband, Santa hairclips

233 fake bows and all that cal

 I wasn't sure if I was going to include these shoes or not in the shoe challenge but then I thought "why not?" and so here they are.

Wearing: Topshop shorts, Zara tee, RayBan glasses, self-made bow (the second which I made on my sewing machine, so happy with it!). Below is a close-up of the heels from a different time I was wearing them...

 I love the block heel (and to think I've had these shoes or like what four five years? - pretty neat). And the color which I DIYed by adding loads of black shoe polish.

 I just finished reading Caprice Crane's first novel "Stupid and Contagious" and I am in love with this author. It is a perfect read!! Just click on the link above to be directed to amazon.com's page. You're welcome.

232 Waiting for Christmas!

 What: Topshop studded bow flats in brown leather, thrifted dress

 I bought these flats a while ago when Topshop were having their sale and they were the first Christmas pressie I bought (albeit a present for myself but whatever.)Anyways, I KNOW for a fact that I will get loads of wear out of these shoes. They are so me with the studs and the cute bow and the simpleness. I love them. I remember seeing them for the first time online in the sales department but they didn't have them in the Prague store (there is ONE Topshop store in Prague), so I waited a while and then they FINALLYgot them but were for full price here?? Now, I won't mind paying full price for them but since I knew they were half-off online I thought it would be ridiculous to pay full-price. So I waited some more and then they were mine.Oh, the drama of shoe buying!

Now the dress had no such drama, cause it's thrifted so I simply saw it, tried it on and bought it all in one go and that's probably what I love about thrifting the most. The carefreeness of it. Oh it's from Warehouse btw.

231 Sitting Duck

 Yup, it's another day of wearing a dress and saving shoes. You see, I have set myself a huge goal of ending the shoe challenge by the end of December (even though I'm going on holiday in January and could save the rest of my more summery shoes..) - but my reason for this is I want to take normal outfit photos and not have to stress about which shoes haven't been shown. And except for these and the few new additions, the ones that haven't yet been shown are the ones I don't particularly like. These I was saving for New Year's but then I thought: fuck it.

 Being it Dressember, I'm wearing a Zara dress and Lanvin for H&M heels. Though these shoes are definitely very cute, they are so so so uncomfortable!!! (Which is the reason why I decided to forget about New Year's..)

 And why I'm sitting down during these photos.. Weird thing is they WEREN'T so uncomfortable in store. What happened?? Why?! Bloody hell!

I've now got to head to work and stop by the post office so I'm gonna change into something more freezing wheather appropriate and then change back into this for dinner out - or I might opt for something entierly different - and save some more shoes. Who knows..

Would Wear Didn't Wear

Today's addition of Would Wear Did Wear is for the purpose of another shoe challenge but with a twist - since there'll be no Did Wear photos. Why? My 'Did Wears' are PJs - and they don't photograph well harhar..

WOULD WEAR

 So in my alter-reality this is what I'd be wearing today. I have already worn these H&M shiny brogues outside so this isn't a shoe challenge cheat. But when I had worn them I didn't stop to snapaty-snap-snap them with the cam. Because I'm quirky that way. So instead I give you an imaginery outfit post. Along with photoshop:

 Because every good blogger uses photoshop. It's DressArt I tell you! Go along with it.. (Zara dress bought last year, Mango bag - I wasn't gonna add the bag, as I had not been going anywhere, but then I thought,hell, you guys need something to look at. You're welcome.)

 One more for the go.

Dressember Yesterday

 Another day of dressember and a night out with the boy's friends. Sadly, it was fucking freezing and whilst waiting for the tram home I nearly froze to death. But I braved it in a dress nonetheless. I also whopped out my largest shawl ever - courtesy of Zara. Oh and remember how I promised I'd have a new scanner soon? Well, I've got it from Tuesday but @%$! it doesn't work on my OS. I might just actually be cursed.

 But enough about my mishaps.. and on to the more important part of this blog - what I wore. Besides the aformentioned Zara scarf. There's the Asos coat, Zara hat, Vagabond boots, H&M dress, Topshop belt, Mango sweater, Stradivarius bag. Basically my favorite stuff.

 I took this photo right before crossing the bridge and entering the pub and I wish I had taken the time to take a proper pic but like I said, it was bloody cold and the snow/rain was starting to fall and I was in a hurry. Still, it is a fantastic view, I love the Prague castle!

 And pink, obvs. Stay in the pink, xox, MsV

Dressember 5: Shoe Challenge 229

 Today is a special Dressember day since FINALLY I'm saving some shoes! I'm cutting gym class today - again - so will get away with wearing heels, yeay. Wearing: Topshop dress, asos Sabrina slipper heels

 Whilst the dress was bought on sale like a year ago, these shoes were ordered via Asos the moment they appeared on site. I fell in love with them right away. The tartan print mixed with the slipper-esque vamp: LOVE. Add that funky heel and you got a keeper. However, they aren't as easy to wear as I originally thought (e.g. definitely not the most comfy shoes and with the rainy season in Prague now, you get the idea right..)

But today is a special day and these shoes do need the saving. See you later for more shoe/dress action. Xox, MsV

Dressember 4: Nurnberg

 Today the boy & his mum and dad & I went for a little car trip to Germany to see the holiday stands in Nurnberg. And to drink wine. You must drink hot wine whilst in Nurnberg. It's tradition. (Also you must eat loads and loads and then hardly fit into the car for the trip back hahah.)

 See wine info above.

 They have such lovely streets and the market stands are quite unique too. We have them in Prague but I have the feeling ours are much cheaper/of worse quality than the ones of our German neighbors.

Even the post office had its own stand - too funny!

Evidence that I really wore a dress in the cold and rain. Surprisingly I think I prefer to wear skirts/dresses in the worse weather. Just me? Oh well.. you'll have to take my word for it that it does have a few pluses..

Posing with the boy's Mum.

Overall it was a fun trip and definitely helped me get the holiday spirit working, plus was way waaaay better than staying home & studying! Now I must do lie down. See you tomorrow for another day another dress, xox, MsV**

Dressember December

Dress: redherring

Shoes: H&M "rescue flats"

Headband: JaneBond

I decided to start Dressember December in style: with a tight fitting red cocktail dress. It's from redherring's special edition collection that I bought two or three years ago. I had to get it fitted though cause it wasn't tight enough.. The headband is one of my favorites, I got it last year as a Christmas pressie from the Boy. It has a little bird on it.. The shoes are from H&M and are one of those rescue pairs (the type of shoes you take in your handbag for end-of-the-night my-feet-are-killing-me scenerios. I love that they're sequinned. Anyways, today is December the 1st. Which means that Christmas is round the corner and I get my typical Christmas spirit right about now. I already have most of the shopping for gifts done and yesterday I even wrapped presents:) Btw, there's a delay with the scanner but hopefully that will all be in order soon.
