OOTD / first real SUNday!

Shoes Adidas X Gazelle / Trousers Cheap Monday / T-shirt Weekday / Glasses Vintage

The sun is finally giving the Dutch citizens what they want, those long summer days where the sun shines from 6:00 AM till 11:00 PM and all you do is just chill and enjoy life.

I woke up this morning feeling pretty shitty as a result of an amazing night out with friends. My plan of spending the entire day in bed watching Netflix was interrupted by the sun which burned me out of my bed. Too bad I couldn’t reach my sunglasses while still laying in bed because if that was an option I would have slept for another hour with them on. Besides that, my mouth was as dry as the Sahara and I was in desperate need of a refreshing drink.

One of my friends asked if we could do something fun today and since the sun was shining and I was already awake I decided to pick her up and have a little roadtrip! She is a photography student and took her camera with her. During the roadtrip we constantly looked for urban/industrial scenes to take pictures but we couldn’t find a particular setting we liked. So we decided to just park the car and walk some small forgotten roads and meadows.

Because of the hot weather I put on a very baggy t-shirt. It is actually a t-shirt dress with the hem just above my knees but because of my arms being up and the wind blowing it appears to look a lot shorter. The extra fabric fluttered with the wind which I find very pleasing with high temperatures. It’s of amazing quality and the tie-dye (ish) marks are actually painted like that and not printed on. I love it when there is time invested in a piece of clothing and not just as fast and cheap produced as possible.

The pants I’m wearing are one of my favorites. I’m not a big fan of denim (at least not on my legs, I prefer it as a top or in the trashcan) so most of the time I’ll go for a darker colored pair of pants. The grey and white textured fabric really add to the print of the t-shirt resulting in a grungy and rough look.

Then the shoes, currently my favorite item! They are the Adidas Gazelles Platform Sneakers in black which I originally spotted in Iggy Azalea’s music video 'Fancy' (which is to die for BTW, that video gave me life!). I’m planning on writing an article about them so I will not bother you with more information right now.

The glasses I’m wearing are vintage round-shaped sunglasses which I bought at one of my favorite stores in Amsterdam called ‘Zipper’. I like expensive (designer)clothes but these were 10 Euros and I highly prefer them above my designer shades (shades.. I feel so gangster when I use that word). The fact that I bought them in a vintage store and they costed me 10 bucks does bother me though.. They are probably just brand new and being marketed as “vintage” since its one of the biggest trends in the last 5 years..

Really digging this monochrome outfit. The greys even match the color of your hair in this photo and I love the graphic pattern on your shirt paired with the acid wash, almost like the texture was inverted on your tee. Your blog looks like it's off to an awesome start! Can't wait to see where blogging takes you.
