5 piece French wardrobe










































I've read about the '5 piece French wardrobe' a long time ago, but never thought it would be something for me. I'm a I-want-it-and-I-want-it-now kinda girl, thinking and over thinking an item doesn't really sound like me.
But (with a capital B), me and my boyfriend are seriously looking for a new apartment so I thought this was the perfect time to take a closer look at my shopping behavior. I want to spend my money more thoughtful so I have more money to spend on the apartment.

Now let me explain the '5 piece French wardrobe'. It's basically about only buying 5 items per season, what those items are is up to you. To make the 5 piece principle work you also have to put together a good basics collection, which is also different for everybody. I put together a list of my 5 pieces and my basics.
I want to start next weekend with cleaning out my closet to get a good look at what I have and what I want to keep.

My list


5 pieces:
- Bright colored sundress
- Cream white short
-
-
-

Basics:
- Black skinny jeans
- White or cream blazer
- Black leather jacket
- Good pair of sunglasses
- Black heeled ankle boots

Fashiolista




Some of you may already know it, but I wanted to tell you about this pretty cool website Fashiolista. It makes it possible to share your style with other 'Fashiolista's', in a very easy and fun way. 
I just started with Fashiolista, but I'm already hooked! It's so easy to save the items I love, and also discover tons of new items trough other Fashiolista's. 
I added a widget at the side of my blog, so you can keep up with my current cravings and loves.

New buy





































When I first saw this dress, I immediately fell head over heels with it. I first ordered it in the grey melange color, but that one was sold out so I went for the crisp white version.
I'm already making tons of outfits with this dress in my head, so mailman; hurry up!

Lazy sunday






I've been living in my shorts lately, I have a newfound love for them and every outfit that pops in my head comes with a short. 
Maybe that's because I can't wait for spring to start, when I finally can wear them barelegged and without a chunky knit cardigan to keep me warm.
Did you have a nice weekend?

Red shorts and all that jazz








You may recognize these red shorts from one of my recent wish lists. I've been wanting to wear them for a while now but wasn't quiet sure about how to combine them. This is how it turned out and to be honest I really like the combination of the red and blue, don't know if I'm totally satisfied with the shoes.  
But, I'm already thinking bare legs, nice summer blouse and a floppy hat; a combination you will see a lot this summer.

ps; I know my roof terrace isn't the most gorgeous setting, but with my schedule right now I have no other choice.

Pop that color!




After such a cold, dark winter all I can think about is spring. I desperately need some bright colors in my wardrobe and these items would all fit perfectly. 
I can see myself wearing that bright pink dress with the blue high heels, maybe topping it off with that gorgeous necklace?

Back on track





Sometimes I find myself craving for super comfi outfits, so I search my closet and found this cute dress I bought in Antwerp a couple years ago. I haven't worn it for such a long time, I totally forgot how comfortable this dress is! I can see myself wearing this on a lazy sunday with my uggs. Quite a nice lounge outfit, right?

Daily Jewelry







I thought it would be nice to show you my daily jewelry, since I wear pretty much the same every day. They all have a special meaning to me, because they're given by special people or just because the time I got them was very special. 
I always variate with different rings, like the three rings in the picture so that I won't get bored with my day to day jewelry look.

Inspiration, it's in the details







In each of these pictures there are one or more pretty details that give an outfit just that little extra. I love to stare at pictures with lots of detailing, discovering them one by one and finding them extremely inspirational.

Just wanted to show you what I was wearing at my one-evening Fashion Week. And yes, I'm wearing a new blouse. Can you believe I forgot to cut out the care label?? Lol, so stupid!
