I spent last week in Germany (even I can't keep track of my movements at the moment, but anyway, these photos were taken in Bonn). I packed quite badly, and on top of that the weather got fairly cold and rainy after a day or so, so I think I must have worn this blouse at least five days out of ten. Luckily though, it's extra soft and comfy, so at least I packed one thing sensibly!
I ate so much ice-cream while in Germany--they have an amazing yogurt flavoured one that I could eat until I drop, and also, predictably, I ate a lot of currywurst. This was a currywurst day. I think I need a good long break from it now...

Mmm...currywurst...you're making me hungry :)
ReplyDeleteHehe, it is a pretty great invention!
ReplyDeleteThis headscarf is great. You look so relaxed and sophisticated at the same time. If this is too personal you don't have to answer... but i was wondering how in the heck you afford to travel around so much? Tell me your secret so I can come along with you :)
ReplyDeletevery cute, i love those shoessssss! :)

flipping love currywurst, cute outfit, love the layering x
ReplyDelete@Kerri: I can't really afford it, at least not much longer. I'm currently coasting on the remains of my savings (I saved for my masters program, and I'm pretty good with money). In the past I've lived abroad teaching, and my boyfriend has supported me a lot in recent years, for which I'm eternally grateful. But yeah, a cold, hard and nasty reality is creeping up on me.
ReplyDeleteHaving said that, inter-European flights are often quite cheap, and I tend to go places where I can stay with someone, so a lot of my travels aren't necessarily as expensive as they seem.
What a pretty outfit...I love the blouse and shoes. Must check out that ice-cream next time I visit Germany :)

Oh that looked delicious. I have only been to Germany once and it was not a positive experience and I did not really do anything there either, as I got sick, but maybe I will go there again, just to try that dish.
ReplyDeleteFor packing lousy btw, that blouse was good, it looks really nice. :)
Emily: I am sure it can, it was a good mix of patterns! But that 21 years bit, not many believe me, but I am sure it will be better when Im older. Even if I do long after grey hair and wrinkles atm. I understand that people think the same about you, because I find it hard to place your age.
ReplyDeletehaha we love curryworst (as it is called over here) too! I eat it with ketchup. You look lovely, you suit headscarves so well!
ReplyDeleteI've heard from my boss who happens to be german that ice cream over there is so yummie! Never heard of currywurst though sounds goot too

There's something a little bit work wear about this that I really like.Love the blouse and sandals too, like 1950s holiday attire.
ReplyDeleteOo I loved the yogurt flavored gelato in Italy. I got it all the time. Currywurst looks yummy. I miss German food!
ReplyDeleteOn to the outfit, I absolutely love how colorful that top is. I see you're into the tie-front just as much as I am. It's such a great way to make a boyish cut shirt look feminine. Love how you mixed all the cool patterns, & I adore your sandals!
Loving your outfit! :D And I know what you mean about not being able to keep track of things anymore...haha...I hate when that happpens!

I guess this is not possibly high-waisted since it's a dress but I love how you tied your skirt in the front to make that look, you certainly have "the right" proportions for it, you look great!! I love that you mixed print even with your headband, I always think to mix prints in outfits but never know what to do with my headbands. maybe I'll copy you now. Awesome you got to go to Germany!
ReplyDeleteps- is currywurst like bratwurst made with curry? either way looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteSuch a great outfit, love that headband!

@dusanabotswana: I guess so. I'm not sure if it's bratwurst because I'm no expert on German sausage (man, that sounds dirty), but it's a sausage with curry sauce and curry powder on it. Mmmmm. ; )
ReplyDeleteOooh yum! Gosh you bounce around Eruope like a ping pong ball!
ReplyDeleteCurrywurst! Never heard of it...If I ever do get the chance to study abroad in Germany next year, then I will definitely keep my eye open for that. :)

Can we trade lives for a day? I'd love to hop back and forth between Germany and Spain. Seems like fun...minus the suitcase.
ReplyDeleteCute blouse!
ReplyDeleteDamn lady your mixin those prints good! I love your wee sandals too.
ReplyDeleteI ate so much currywurst in Berlin...ahhh sooo good!

I've never tried currywurst? it looks tasty though!
ReplyDeleteand I love your hair that way.
i'd probably LOSE weight if i lived in germany, because i don't eat meat. on the other hand, i'd probably just eat twice as much bread. but anyway...
ReplyDeletei do find that people have more in common than we think--which is kind of another offshoot of what i was talking about. even if someone dresses differently/likes different "things," we are all human and we all experience life is such similar ways... but maybe our choices have been different/led us down different paths. i don't know. people are just so interesting to me, in all forms. also i want to come to bonn and drink wine with you. i imagine there would be a great deal of clinking glasses.
Currywurst looks and sounds amazing. It's definitely going on the list of foods to try.
ReplyDeleteI'm really impressed at how cohesive this outfit is. Nine times out of ten I feel dreadfully awkward when donned in mixed patterns.
I love the way you mixed patterns! Glad you're having fun. :)
ReplyDeletelike how you used the scarf, and the relation between pieces. I happen to be eating ice cream at this precise moment (typing and creamsickles don't work together).
ReplyDeleteThe more I learn about you, the more depth I sense. You impress me more and more. That's really nice.
ReplyDeleteCute outfit. So happy you take pictures and blog about your clothes and travels. Oh and the food you eat. :)
ReplyDeleteThat currywurst looks delicious, yum! And your shoes are delicious too, I'm obsessed with clog-type shoes at the moment...
ReplyDeleteIf you fancy going to the Birds of Prey Centre yourself when you're back in grey rainy England, we got our tickets at a ridiculously cheap price through Groupon and I think they do it fairly regularly so it's worth keeping an eye out...I'm going to take my mum next time!

What part of Germany did you go to ?! I really like Germany, it is such a friendly place!
ReplyDeleteYou look great, I love the mix print!
ReplyDeleteSo you went to Germany...to see your boyfriend, right? I'm glad you spent such a wonderful time :)
http://lifeisaromanticpoem.blogspot.com/
Ah, currywurst! :] It was pretty rainy and chilly the whole time I was in Berlin two summers ago. Where are you now? Haha
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely loving the mixed prints on you!
ReplyDelete@Sewon: back in Barcelona this week! ; D
ReplyDeleteI'm always a bit afraid to mix prints, but you pulled off tartan and polka dots really beautifully!
ReplyDeleteSincerely,
Sabrina
wow you really are traveling up a storm. you always manage to look so cute and pulled together even for a last minute packing spree.
ReplyDeleteYou are living the good life :) and looking good while you're at it!
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of currywurst. Is the curry in the sauce or in the sausage itself?
ReplyDeleteThose pictures are fabulous!
ReplyDelete(Thanks Albert!)
I adore the head scarf of course and that blouse is perfection, every time I see it on the blog I totally swoon! The pattern and colors ar right out of my clothes dreams :)

A currywurst? This is so something I need to try! And all of your traveling is making me want to pack up and go exploring in Europe. You look lovely!
ReplyDeleteoh... i really like the last photo
ReplyDeleteThis outfit is great; there are so many wonderful patterns working together.
My friends from Germany are in Canada right now. I'll be seeing them next week, and they have brought me my much longed for Curry Ketchup :D Oh how I miss it! Nom!
ReplyDeleteAlso, you make me miss Europe something fierce!!
Gosh I love this look. The gingham+polkadot combo is awesome, even better with those lovely shoes!
ReplyDeletei love the mixing of patterns and your adorable head scarf! you're in germany too!? you are quite the traveler :)
