Stripes Times Two

Hey guys! As I’m typing this I’m lounging on the couch in a t-shirt and jeans with the window open. I admit, I’m getting a little chilly but as I was climbing up and down a stool to take these shots, the Spring sun was enough to keep the place warm!

So as you can probably tell, in my mind I’ve already left Winter way behind me. The days are getting longer and I just can’t wait to frolic around in breezy Spring/Summer outfits! I’ve dipped into my wardrobe and considering this striped top from COS is a current favourite, I did two little flat lays with it.

H&M boyfriend jeans, Geox turquoise heels, Indian tapestry bag

This bag was a birthday gift I picked out with my boyfriend at a little shop on the Hoogstraat in Antwerp. It doesn’t have a brand tag or anything but the shop lady told us it was imported from India.

Mango beaded vest, Zara leopard printed sandals, H&M shorts, Zara TRF yellow bag

I’m dying to frolic around in these two get ups! I haven’t actually tried these outfits on just yet, mainly because I still have a few kilograms to lose before I would feel comfortable in these boyfriend jeans (over a year old and still have the tags attached to them… oops) let alone the shorts! I’m currently working out twice a week, doing about an hour and a half of cardio and a whole lot of toning exercises. I lost about two kilograms and have shed a bit of blubber around my waist and tummy so that’s some good progress so far.

I’m not hoping to go back to the body I had when I was blogging from my old bedroom at my parents’, I mean I fully realise getting older brings along a ton of change, but I do want that confidence back. I’ve always been very critical about myself and my deep dislike for change isn’t making getting used to a body I don’t feel is mine easier, so working out and eating healthier are my only real remedies.

I just fucking love food you guys.
