 I had a great party to attend yesterday... You know, the kind where your boyfriend hears if he is elected on the board of this or that something politicalthingy, the kind that is very vague yet very impressive to me.



'With great parties, come great earrings.'



For me anyways... Seldom do I wear earrings, so when I do, it's a BIG THING and I would like everyone to notice them. Even if it's only because it's so uncomfortable to me, that I constantly notice them. AND I have cats, which is a problem. It wouldn't be, but I treat my cats like babies.
And everyone knows that babies and dangly earrings do not go together.

I still have both my ears though. (:

And my boyfriend got elected!

Hey lovely fluffy bumloves. <3



So today, I have an outfit post for you, featuring my absolute favourite jumpsuit from H&M's collection last year. I was literally scouring all the stores for a jumpsuit that was; structured, but loose, dressy but airy, classy but casual, to bring with me to Barcelona.

And I scored this little number the day before we actually left!

It has been a go to summer outfit ever since!



The satin like fabric is a beautiful blue, and the pockets and tied waist make it casual, while the sleeves and shimmer of the fabric make it dressy enough to wear in the city.

                                                                     Sandals; graceland





So in these pictures it's more obvious than in the others.... I'm not skinny, at all. Actually I'm quite chubby. Big legs and arms, and now a days I even have a bit of a tummy. But this jumpsuit really hides all the unpleasant things well. You know people always tell me that despite that I'm bigger, I carry myself really well.



When people say this, I'm like Fxck you. What you're really saying is that I look good, dress well, and you'd never thought that this is possible for girls that are bigger than the media prescribes perfect to be, and you don't know how to handle this.



When I was younger, I really really struggled with the way I looked. Up to the point that I hated myself for it, hurt myself, by not eating.



And it's not only yourself you hurt, but you hurt the ones you love, by being so bad to yourself.

Sure, it's okay to lose weight, but in a healthy way, enough diverse food and exercise.

Don't destroy yourself.

 I see these pro-anorexia websites and blogs that are really painful. Girls willingly develop anorexia?! Girls saying;'' I really try to get anorexia... But it's not working...''

It makes me cry that you'd do this to yourself, people have lost their dear ones because of this mental disease.



I may not look like I was or am recovering from this disease, but it's better than how I looked, trust me.

So be proud of who you are, and if people can't handle you in all your natural lovelieness.........



Kick them in the nuts and run...... Who needs those people?





And that's how my outfitpost became a sermon on selfacceptance and love.

I always get a bit awkward when taking pictures, especially when somebody else takes them... I wonder how these other bloggers do it, shameless taking pictures in the street, posing, turning, with a serious look... I know that modelling will never be for me, but hopefully I'll get the hang of it (: Or else it's awkward pictures for you, for ever. 
But about the skirt, it's absolutely wonderful. A find in a local secondhandshop, pure silk, mint condition, the whole shazam you want when you're thrifting.

(:
The good thing about living in a city where browsing for vintage isn't big, is the amount of vintage you can find! In Amsterdam, where I study, the vintage shops are more expensive than buying retail,

And people have a great eye for vintage, so you'll never find a designer item way underpriced.
Where I live, the secondhand shop is run by people who wouldn't recognize Yves Saint Laurent if you rubbed it in their face, and they'd have no problem pricing a YSL pair of pumps for 3$. Literally, I have found this. (:
Unfortunately they were too big for me, so I sold them  for 30 times that amount.  (:
