Most of the weekends I spend with my boyfriend. We usually just stay in and watch a movie or catch up on our favourite series. But as the weather is getting better every week, I wanted to go outside and make the best of our day. I offered to go visit something like the zoo or a museum and we ended up visiting the MAS in Antwerp. Whenever I go out nowadays, I tend to bring my camera, just in case I want to take pictures of my outfit at a nice location. As I haven't made an outfit post in a while, I thought this was the perfect time for a new one. 

As the weather changes, my choices in fashion change as well. I don't like wearing skinny jeans when it's hot, but I also don't really want to show off my legs which are way too pale. (I am in desperate need of some self tanner!) The perfect solution for me is to wear loose fitting trousers. They don't cling to my legs, are very light weight and aren't too hot to wear. I still needed a jacket because it's not summer yet and the wind can still be a bit too chilly. My handbag is the one I always go for because it is the perfect size to fit my big wallet, the case for my glasses and my camera. (Exact details of what I'm wearing are at the end of this post!)

Something that caught my eye is the fact that my hair is getting so long now. It is definitely the longest I've ever had. I'm loving it because it is in very good condition and I can do so many different hairstyles but on the other hand I hate. It gets stuck everywhere, I constantly have to brush it because it gets so knotty and it is just annoying to wash and dry it. I'm thinking of cutting it in a few months time and donating it. What do you guys think I should do? I hope you like this post and my outfit!

It has been a while since I wrote an outfit post and I miss sharing my outfits with you. When I read about other bloggers and their Autumn outfit, it inspired me to style an outfit myself that is suitable for this Belgian weather. And because I haven't written such a post in a long time, I'm here to bring you three of my favourite combinations to wear, all styled with my long Zara coat! This post is also made to serve for the Creative Content Award at the Zalando Style Icons!

THE CLASSIC ONE

The first outfit I styled is based upon the classic colours black and white. When I'm not sure what to wear or when I haven't got enough time in the morning, I always go for black. It is an easy colour to combine and a safe option when in doubt. My long coat has a neutral grey colour which is also very easy to style. A classic black shirt on top of some patterned black and white leggings from River Island make the base of my outfit. Some classic black ankle boots and a black leather bag - which is also from River Island - finish off the entire style. This black beanie is a recent addition to my closet. I bought it last week from the lovely An-Katrien from Teacups & Dresses. A classic look is easy and simple, but with this beanie it makes the total package more daring and out there.

THE CHIC ONE

This next outfit is again one of my favourites. A few weeks ago, I picked up this sweater dress at New Look and at first I didn't really style it, I just put it on with my coat and some black Converse or white sneakers. Again, really easy and quick. But with these colder days, layering is key when you style an outfit, especially when you're wearing a dress with bare legs! As you might know from some previous posts I wrote, I love everything jeans. I pulled out my jeans shirt which I haven't been wearing a lot lately and combined it with this dress. Because off the low cut-out of the dress and my shirt that is buttoned all the way up, the jeans part is more apparent and makes the outfit more business and chic like. My leather bag from Guess adds a bit more texture along with the leopard print and the blue strap. A favourite and new pair of shoes from Stradivarius adds a touch of elegance and style to the entire outfit due to the metallic trend, which I wrote about in this post.

THE CASUAL ONE

The third and final outfit for this post is the casual and most worn outfit. Again styled with my long coat but another staple - besides jeans - is a big chunky knitted sweater. Most of the time I'll be wearing a sweater of some sort because it is easy to throw on (I know, everything has to be quick and easy for me) and so comfy to wear. I could've easily called this 'the comfy one', only I would restyle it with some loose trousers. This sweater is bright pink (the colour isn't that vibrant in the pictures) and handmade by my boyfriend's mom. It is a big oversized one which I love a lot. Paired with my most worn jeans and some suede ankle boots (again River Island) and I'm good to go. I also found my Autumn scarf in my wardrobe again, at least I think this scarf screams Autumn! To complement my scarf, I wore a brown leather backpack from a boutique in Italy. I topped every outfit off with a dark lipstick from Rituals, since this time of the year is the perfect time to whip out your darker colours. 

This weekend's outfit is based upon my new T-shirt from Stradivarius. My parents brought this back from their holiday in Spain. I think this T-shirt with the red lips is perfect for a casual date and can easily be dressed up. I paired it with a pencil skirt which is actually also from Stradivarius I bought last year. To make sure the outfit isn't too dressed up I paired it with my black Converse. I know this outfit is quite dark because everything is black but the red accents make the total outfit pop! When I see the pictures it would be nice to also wear a red lipstick to finish it all off! My accessories are the usual as I wear my bracelet and my watch every day.
