Wednesday: One of the boys...

Third outfit of the week and I am embracing my masculine side... or my Michael Jackson side whichever!
I just really love how the colour of the shirt (and the lipstick) pops against the sea of grey and blue that is my lounge... (which incidentally gave me inspiration for new lounge furniture but that's a whole other story...)
Anyway, I hope you're not suffering from the mid-week blues (get it?)
See you tomorrow!

Tuesday: A little bit of Everything

Did you enjoy Yesterday's outfit?
Today's outfit was again born from unearthing the forgotten pieces of my wardrobe, I just kept on adding stuff on...
I bought these shoes for my cousin's wedding. They are an unusual choice for a wedding but I just fell in love with them and after a lot of debating decided to get them... They are 15cm high and remarkably comfortable, I wore them all day, which included walking, standing, dancing, etc and did not take them off... (or maybe for a few minutes during the cocktail party...)

Monday: My skirt is way too long...

So here we go, this is my first outfit including my mighty jacket!
I made this skirt (entirely from scratch - there was no vintage involved) when I was in Brussels for a few days before I moved to London. I was in a rush to pack and didn't actually try it on and then I forgot about it! When I was trying on my whole wardrobe this weekend, I found it again and realised that it is way too long and actually way too large... But never mind, I like the overall look of this outfit!

The Jacket Challenge

Do you remember when I bought this suit jacket at Oxfam?
Well this is what I did with it... I removed the sleeves and cut it so it's shorter at the back.
I was trying to find the ideal outfit for it and I ended up with most of my wardrobe on the floor as I tried every piece of clothing I own with it. I thus decided to do 'The Jacket Challenge' this week. Everyday I will make a new outfit with this jacket... So make sure you check in!!

Let it Rain

The return of the rain in London has warranted the return of the Trench. I bought this one ages ago at Zara and I love it so much! It is absolutely perfect! Although in this outfit, I look a little bit like a flasher...
At least, it ends up revealing something good! I have to admit that this dress is one of my favourite 'When Charlotte met Maia' creation! Although, I love the first version (see here) downplayed with Converses, this is how I wear it when I go to work.

The Good Girl Shirt

I was instantly attracted to the adorable lace collar of this shirt, so cute and innocent!
I had to contrast all that goodness with some 'roughness'... I used the same ribbon as I used in my first ever post (here), which use do you prefer?
I also had to add some studs, I mean the shirt was begging for them, no?
I just love the outfit... it so easy going without being boring. Also by doing my hair and make-up like that, I feel like a rockstar! I have always wanted to be a rockstar but I cannot, for the life of me, sing... ask anybody who knows me!


Good Girl...

Rockstar!
