Favorite outfits of 2015

So yeah, 2015 has passed. The first month of 2016 has passed. But I still wanted to post this post. It's fun to look back. So even though we're already living in 2016, I'm gonna look back on my outfits of 2015. Of course I was slacking on the blogging department, so I don't have outfits from the whole year. But you'll see I have plenty to show anyway. Also 2015 was the first year I showed my face with outfit pictures. I don't regret it, well sometimes if I have a horrible hairday. Even though I'm no model, I do think the pictures look better with my face on it. Be careful, 'cause here comes the pic scam!

C & A spring/summer dresses

My sister got married last year and I searched for a wonderful 'bridesmaid' (my sister didn't have bridesmaids, but it's easier to write this). I searched everywhere and luckily readers pitched in as well with suggestions for places with cute dresses. But then I suddenly found one at C & A. It was a cute floral summery dress with a pettycoat (I love those!) and it was € 59,90. Reasonably priced for a special occasion dress (though I feel like wearing it in summer whenever I want). And this year they again have special occasion dresses for a great price.

Ready for spring

Spring has officially begun! We all know the trends and we've been wearing some of them but we might be able to finally wear the rest when the temperatures go up! I can't wait to wear all of my biker jackets, denim jackets, T-shirts and more colorful clothes in general! Here is some inspiration for when the sun comes out... Or not.

Spring in the 70s with Mango

When even the chairs in a lookbook scream 70s, you really know it's a trend that's gonna be everywhere. That said, I really love this lookbook. I love the yellow dress and the fringe jacket. I think the items in this lookbook are very wearable. They aren't too much 70s so people probably won't ask if you recycled them (from your own closet or your moms).

A-line spring coats

I really want an A-line coat for this spring. I wanted a coat like that for so long, but I always feel they aren't flattering on me. I tried one on at Vero Moda but I think that coat was a little bit too long. I saw another one at Steps but that one was € 120,- which is way above my budget. So here are a couple of A-line coats which are more affordable. I noticed New Look has a ton of these coats and some of these are now on sale. Some of these might qualify as winter coats, but it's still quite chilly even though spring is almost near.

Pastel at Nelly

Pastel has been hot for several years during spring time. I've been stocking pastel items for my closet as well. I can't wait to combine my pastel items and I look forward to buying some new items. After I saw this pastel lookbook from Nelly I looked at the items and saw great clothes and great prices. Here are some items that will get you ready for spring.

Mango denim on denim inspiration

Denim is still incredibly hot this spring and summer. Did it ever leave though? But just as previous years, denim on denim is trendy as well. Sometimes it can be hard to come up with ideas for denim on denim outfits. That's why Mango has some inspiration for you.

Topshop spring collection 2015

The opening of the first Topshop store in the Netherlands is approaching soon. It will open on February 26, at 11.00 A.M. Since not everyone who follows my blog is Dutch, I have some nice pictures from the new Topshop collection. Of course if you're curious about the store and the collection that's the best way to find out whether you would like the store. Even though a lookbook doesn't always say anything, a webshop does.

I went to Almere today because I went there for business. I can now officially say I just founded my own company. I'm gonna write texts for company's and of course I'm gonna keep on blogging. And I hope my blog will help with getting writing jobs. I want to continue with writing about affordable fashion brands. Because I love affordable fashion brands since I'm not exactly rich. And I'm guessing most of my readers (and blog readers in general) aren't either.

Mango Spring 2015 lookbook with Anna Ewers

Last, Daria Werbowy showed the lookbook from the spring and summer 2014 collection from Mango. This year it's model Anna Ewers. The trends are white, 70s, denim and wide items. We already had a look at some parts of the collection here, but now you can see the collection modelled by Anna Ewers.I love this lookbook, despite not being overtly excited by the earlier lookbook for spring 2015.

Zara TRF lookbook spring 2015

The Zara TRF lookbook for spring 2015 doesn't show a lot of color. Zara usually doesn't show lots of color, so I'm not surprised. Still, I expected a slightly more springish lookbook. It shows a lot of earth colors. No pastel either, which I thought would be heavily featured at Zara. Perhaps there will be a lot of pastel colors in the stores and they just didn't show them in the lookbook. The lookbook also shows influences from the '70s.

Pastel for spring

Pastel colors always remind of spring. Probably because you see them a lot during spring. I wasn't that fond of pastel colors a couple of years ago, but now I'm loving those colors. They look fresh, cute and at the same time you can make them more edgy with edgy boots. Nelly has made a lookbook with amazing pastel colors, so you're ready for spring.

Ever since I bought these green pants at C & A, the salmon pants I tried on the same day stayed in the back of my mind. I didn't buy the salmon pants, because they were see through. But I found out the (off) white jeans are see through as well. Which I didn't think they were when I bought them, oops!

Perfect summer boots

It was my sisters birthday and I got new boots. Because my package from H & M came in! Remember these white boots I ordered? They came in and they're super cute. And I'm happy to say, they also fit! That's always nice, lol.

Mango Fashion Show Spring/Summer 2015

We already saw the lookbook from the Mango spring and summer 2015 collection. The lookbook showed a lot of items in the 70's style. A lot of flowy, wide items and a lot of polkadot. The collection was mostly white, not a lot of color. Yesterday was the fashion show where the spring and summer 2015 collection from Mango was presented on the runway.

Primark spring 2015 lookbook

The tulips aren't blossoming yet, but the beginning is coming. I saw a few peaks of them and I got all excited. The weather hasn't really changed, it's still cold. But we've seen most of the spring lookbooks now, except for Primark. So here is the spring 2015 lookbook from Primark. There a lot of floral prints, flowy and pastel items.

H & M Home spring collection 2015

Even though I never bought something from the H & M Home collection, I always love looking at their lookbooks and at their items. I showed the new trends for the spring collection a while ago. The pictures were kinda small, but I have bigger and more pictures in this post. Enjoy!

Nelly spring 2015 trends

Nelly is showing the trends of spring 2015. Some of these are trends we already saw in lookbooks from other fashion brands. The trends according to Nelly are: Bohemian Babe (flowy and fringe), Tinted Pastel (pastel), Back to the Future (60's/70's), Preppy Sailor (stripes), Team 90's, Good Twin (two pieces) and Bright White (lots of white).

C & A spring and summer collection 2015

It's no secret I like to buy a lot at C & A. Over the last few years there has been a lot of cool stuff in their collection. And this new spring and summer collection looks promising as well. The collection shows a lot of denim and also some more bohemian items. All these spring and summer lookbooks make me crave spring and summer!

Vila prespring collection 2015

Vila has released a collection before their spring collection. It's called prespring and I'm not sure why they didn't just call it their spring collection. Most fashion brands are releasing their lookbooks and a lot of fashion stores already sell their spring collection. The prespring collection also looks like a spring collection. Whatever season it actually is, it looks great. Blue is the color that comes back in most outfits. There are also a lot of black and white items. And there also prints and stripes. I love it, but I still wouldn't call this prespring. There aren't a lot of thick sweaters, the materials are mostly thin. Certainly not warm enough for this time of the year.
