It hasn't even been a full month at the time I'm writing this post - it's been written last week because while you're reading this, I'll be in Rome, drinking up the sun and the food and the culture - since I last talked you through the newest additions to my wardrobe. Whoops.
I was about to say that I can't even come up with excuses for how many clothes I've been buying anymore, but one just crossed my mind - technically, these were all inspired by the travels I have planned for this summer!
German summers aren't exactly the bee's knees - we get some really hot days and weeks, but not nearly enough to invest into a full on summer wardrobe.
However, with my trips to Italy and Spain this summer, I'll need a lot of clothes that are light and short so I won't melt away in the heat - so what did I do?
I went shopping, obviously.
How adorable is this playsuit I picked up from C&A? I'm in love with the salmon shade, it's unlike anything else I own! I can't wait until it's hot enough to wear it.
It's rather simplistic, which I like, but the lace detailling at the neck gives it a nice sophisticated touch - and the cloth it's made of is heavenly soft. For a price of 19€, this doesn't just look incredible but also is of very good quality for such an affordable price.
The top is from C&A as well - it's actually a little shorter at the front than it is at the back and thus is pretty much a crop top, so I'll have to wear this with some high-waisted jeans or shorts as I'm not too keen on showing off my belly.
I also like the quote on it - I'm usually not one to buy tops that have any form of writing on them, but I actually quite like "we're all made of star stuff" - I don't know why it's so inspirational to me, but it is nonetheless!
I might've cheated a little bit on this next clothing item - it's actually supposed to be a plus sized shirt, but when I saw it in Adler I at first thought it was a dress - so when I tried it on and it actually looked like an actual dress on me as well, I just decided to go with it!
Besides that, it was cheaper than a lot of the dresses I own priced at 25.95€.
Because it's technically not a "real dress", it's pretty short. However, that makes up for the fact that the material is a little thicker so I hopefully won't sweat as much when wearing it this summer.
This turquoise shade is also very unusual for monochrome me, but it's such summer shade while stilk being somewhat subtle - and the folkore-ish stitching near them hem is such a nice touch!
You probably thought that you were looking at a backpack in the picture above, am I right? Well, it can technically be used as both a backpack and a handbag!
This clever '2-in-1' bag can be folded to be used as a backpack as well.
I picked this up from Tchibo for 29,95€ for when I'm in Rome - I'm someone who always carries around huge, heavy handbags; however I wanted to only carry the bare necessities with me, and the rather small space in this bag will force me to do that.
Besides that. it also functioning as a bagpack will allow me to carry it in front of my stomach in order to protect my belongings from pickpockets, which my teacher has already warned me about.
I wasn't so sure whether I should include the last few pieces into this post, but then I told myself that all of us wear underwear, so it shouldn't be a topic I have to avoid.
I've been eyeing up Calvin Klein underwear ever since I got my first bra from them - which I'm absolutely in love with - but as one of the only places the brand is available here is at Urban Outfitters, and one of the normal slips is priced at 32€ there.
That's why I decided to order from Zalando - I got CAROUSEL 3 Pack for 39,95€. That's three slips for a few Euros more than I would've paid for one at Urban Outfitters - how great of a deal is that?
Besides the fact that I got them for such a great price, they're such good qaulity as well - they're so incredibly comfortable!
Have you picked up any new clothes recently? If so, please let me know - you might know I'm always on the hunt for new clothes by now!

ReplyDeleteI am the same when it comes to having a big handbag when out and about! I have just invested in a 2 in 1 backpack and handbag too!
