Home,
sweet home. Maybe you have noticed that it I haven't posted anything
lately. I recently went on vacation to Austria. I really did enjoy my
time there and I would love to go on more trips, but returning home
is really nice after being away for a while. While on vacation I
tried to stop thinking about everything, relax and take some rest. I
never knew it was that hard to do. After two days I was already
restless and wanted to work on my blog. I promised not to do so and I
didn't, although I did went shopping.. In Austria I enjoyed nature
the most. The streets are also very clean and the people are really
nice. I loved the mountain landscape, which to me is very exciting
because in the Netherlands everything is flat. I wish I have such a
beautiful place close to home so I can take pictures for my blog in
such a beautiful area. Another perk of Austria is the sun. My skin
doesn't tan easily but now it's a shade darker tanned than before!
Yay!
In
a previous post I talked about holiday packing. I can tell you it was
a success! I'm proud of myself that I didn't pack more than
necessary. Thanks to that I had room left for the new things I bought
on vacation. Here is one of my vacation finds. Beautiful statement
earrings that I bought at Innsbruck. The picture was taken on my
vacation. Despite that I couldn't wear them with the right outfit, I
was too excited to wait with wearing them. This picture is taken
while I was on my way to go swimming. I see myself wearing these
earrings with a basic, cozy white or cream colored cardigan.
In
my younger years I had a period in which I wanted to wear only
statement earrings. I felt naked without them. At the time I had a
total crush on earrings with big peacock feathers and I had a sea
blue colored pair with nacre. It guess it had something to do with my
age and the fashion image at the time. These days I don't think
statement earrings are suitable for every occasions or outfit.
However as counterpart of an outfit it can complement it or add the
finishing touch to a certain style. Big earrings can give the
impression of youth. There is a turning point of when wearing big
earrings can give the wrong impression. It can look vulgar when
wearing the wrong pair or wearing them the wrong way. That is
something we want to avoid, so be careful. Sometimes I like to create
a romantic or natural look around statement pieces and I personally
love styles like Greek, Egyptian, Indian, animalistic, Roman or
Aztec. I think Dolce and Gabbana is always does a great job with
their statement pieces and spectacular prints. I especially love
their winter collection of 2013 and their summer collection of 2014.
These collections are the proof that wearing a lot of gold doesn't
have to be vulgar. I let myself be inspired by them.
I
always had something special with shoes and accessories that are made
with care and have fine quality and details. I keep on being
fascinated by those small artworks.
What
is your opinion on statement earrings?
