I Tuck It In

Nowadays everybody visits the thrift store once in a while. Well, especially since Macklemore's extremely catchy song "Thrift Shop", which in my opinion is completely misunderstood. Don't be afraid. I'm not gonna diss on his song or secondhand shops where you can buy overpriced used clothing (everybody likes that, right?). I'm gonna save that little opinion of mine in my head, where it belongs, until somebody really wants me to speak my mind about this. But let's just forget about this because I'm getting of topic here (thanks to myself).

I must admit that I'm really fond of visiting thrift shops, second hand markets, yard sales etc. Mainly because I love giving items, especially clothing, a new home (my home that is). But from all places I like my dad's closet best. He has this drawer where he puts his old, according to him, worn-out and old fashioned polo shirts and jumpers. Most pieces in this drawer are approximately twenty years old, but they still look good, as in completely undamaged. Sure, the colors may have faded a little, but that's no problem.

I know I promised you guys something else, but yet again the weather didn't really suit my outfit (yes, it's not the other way around). Luckily the weather is improving each day, which means that I'll be showing you the outfit I've been dying to wear next week (I promise!). So, for this week I've put together this dadcore-ish, extremely normal look. Of course I'm also playing with a little irony in my outfit as I usually try to do. According to me the most funny part, which has nothing to do with that irony, is that I'm sporting pink nail polish which I'd like to call Pink Power Ranger pink. I added little silver dots on my thumb and ringer finger's nail to make it extra Power Ranger-like, but I'm not gonna show you a close up of my nails. Let's just say they aren't on fleek anymore.

In this photo I'm wearing a polo shirt by Lacoste from my dad's special drawer. I added the Polo Ralph Lauren cap, because it matches my coat so well. Also because my dad also wears a similar one and for this outfit I wanted to go completely dadcore. That's also why I decided to tuck my shirt in my pants like a real thug. I really think I'm one of the most unphotogenic persons on earth. Ah well, it's hard taking full body mirror selfies.

Thank you, and take care.

Unicorn Blood

After a whole month of fasting we finally get to celebrate Eid al-Fitr, also called the Sweet Festival. It has been a pretty tough month but I made it, so don't you worry about me. This year again Ramadan sure was a beautiful month of blessings, forgiveness and tolerance. I'll just keep to this, because I'm not really into preaching. It's not really a thing for me to do that. It's mostly because I'm always afraid to say something wrong or offend someone when I talk about religion. So yeah, I'm not gonna go there.

We'll be ending Ramadan the same way we began it: with CHANGE. Remember, no more eating and drinking during the day and stuff. Well, for me the biggest change was no more wearing nail polish. I'm not kidding, I'm dead serious. It's so hard for me not to wear any nail polish especially during summer. It just add a little bit more color to your day (and outfit). And you might've already guessed it... I've polished my nails again after a whole month. Hey, a girl has her priorities. 

Besides you'll never guess what color I polished them (no peaking at the pictures please). I got my inspiration from a few My Little Pony-ponies. These ponies weren't mine because I only like the newest generation of MLP, but they're official property of my baby sister. So, no judging about the My Little Pony-thing. I actually thought they were (and are) pretty cool that's why I just had to take some pics with them (no peaking please). By the way, I like the white pony over the purple one. 

There is only one girl, my dear colleague, who might've already guessed which color will have the honor to cover my nails. Stefania, if you're reading this, thank you allot for giving me this little gift which actually means quite allot to me. 

Now that has happen I can finally unveil the color which I'm quite a huge fan of at the moment. It's SILVER! To the ones who've already peaked: You should be ashamed, very ashamed! To the ones who've waited until I mentioned it myself: Thank you for your patience. The color is retro but futuristic at the same time. This might be because it was one of the '00s most favorited used color (remember Britney Spears in her silver tops and dresses?). Besides that, it also reminds me of UFO's, I really like those. 

Some pictures of me showing off my new nail polish and my sister's MLP-ponies. Oh, and please don't mention the poorly done nails. It's my right hand that has been photographed and I've done that hand with my left had (I'm a righty, you'll probably understand).

Thank you, and take care.
