Shoe dreamin'

The problem that I had with my dresses goes for my high-heels too - they all seem out-of-date. In the summer I was fine, I always knew what to wear, but I keep running into trouble when trying to find something to wear for the fall/winter season. I'd love to shop for shoes too, but the only thing I can afford at the moment is window-shopping :') I've been drooling over nude pumps, especially those that have a strap around the ankle...

Asos - Promote Pointed High Heels with T-bar

Asos - Prior Pointed High Heels

Love them both and can't choose between the T-bar and double strap around the ankle. Maybe Santa sees this post as well, makes the decision for me and and makes my dream about up-to-date shoes come true.. ;)

Christmas party preparations

What do you do when you're under a strict student budget but have nothing to wear for the many upcoming christmas parties? There's no way you could buy new dresses, not to even mention shoes or bags. But the things in your wardrobe are a bit out-dated and don't seem to be proper for any of these occasions.

The answer is simple. You call your mom, let her know about your vision on how to pimp your old dress, go to a fabrics store, get piece of this and that and let the sewing machine do the magic (under your mom's strict supervision, of course :D). Hehe.

The problem with my velvet LBD was the length. I like the dress, but apparently I was fond of shorter dresses a couple of years ago. Me and my mom made the original one from scratch and now just added two pieces of burgundy velvet - one to the top and one to the bottom of the dress. 

This dress will do for a couple of events, but luckily I have some other plans too. Mom, just wait and see ;)
