No Stella Yet, So…
…I bought this at H&M:
OK, I know it’s very pouffy and pink, but I am in love! I got compliments already standing in line to pay for it! To weigh up for all the pink pouffyness I thought I’d have to go for some funkier accessories, like the longhorn belt buckle I’ve been wanting for a while. This one is from Vicious Style and is $13. I have put a bid in on Ebay for one just like this at $6.
I also went to a flea market and got a pair of black suede and snakeskin wedges from the 70’s. I have never had shoes with heels this high. Must be between 5 and 6 inches. The flash makes the suede look a little faded, but they are in perfect shape and look like they were worn only once. (I can understand cause they demand some practice.)
I also got another leather patchwork handbag. This one isn’t in as good shape as the other one I have, but it went so well with the pants I was wearing at the time…
I love that pink skirt! it will look fab with a simple white vest cardiugan and ballet pumps or like you said rough it up with a white vest black cardi and some slouchy boots also loving the belty and your seude wedges….swede wedges and that belt would look good with a black sequin shrug baggy vest top and jeans:)

Lors, I love all your outfit ideas! :D I also think it’s very interesting to sneek into other people houses, so I will have a look at it. I’ll try taking some pics as soon as I have the time.
Tania and S; I believe patchwork purses are easy to come by. And they are so right for this fall! I guess most secondhand stores and of course ebay will have them. :)

Dinah; the skirt was around $50, but I think H&M is more expencive in Norway than in other countries. I have at least noticed a difference from USA and Norway, so I’d guess somewhere between $30 and $40.
Aranzazu; usually I dress up all the time, but I’ve been so busy the last months that I have worn mostly jeans as well. I get the problem and I doubt that I will wear the skirt very often. But I just thought it was so pretty! White sounds nicer than pink though. :) I would wear the skirt for any night out, but I’d have to rough it up a bit first. Lors gave some good outfit ideas. I also think it could be roughed up with something like a biker jacket. Usually I try do dress up every day so that people won’t be so chocked when I dress all pink and fluffy. I’m building up some sort of undestanding from people. :) But if you don’t have any occations to wear it to, don’t worry, I’m coming with a post that will give an idea. Thanks for the restaurant tip by the way!
