April Shopping

For this month I bought some lovely knitwear.

 I have bought blue, green, beige and gray colors.

My collection of t-shirts is growing, so I'm starting to fill in color gaps! 

I've also started buying small lots of GS clothing,

 it makes it a little harder to tell the exact price of the individual items, 

but it save a lot of postage!  I'm still sticking to my budget of $75!

This lovely chicken cardigan is my favorite buy of the month!

I was in luck and purchased two pair of oweralls! 

I've gotten to the point where I feel that I have a solid basic wardrope!

I can go a little more crazy and buy some more exciting clothes

like this lovely green knitted vest.

This green dress filled a color gap in my wardrobe, now I only need to find one in red !

When you buy a batch of clothes, you might get something that you didn't want to buy in the first place. This tunic is not my color at all, but now that I got it, I will try to find a way to wear it!

This cardigan is very pale green with small dots. I am sure it will turn out very useful!

This is a 100% linen jacket. I find it very useful and during the summer I will wear it over some of my dresses! 

This mint green knitted sweater is 100% cotton and has a lovely zig zag texture pattern.

I love mint green in my summer wardrobe and a sweater like this was on my wish list!

I fell in love with the grapic print on this t-shirt. I bought a blue skirt in the G.S. shop in Copenhagen and this t-shirt has a perfect color for the skirt!

This dress was a part of a small lot, and I didn't take much notic of it at first, but when I tryed it on, it feelt so nice and comftable, that I think it will become one of my favorite dresses!

I practice making the layered look that suits me, 

even though I'm not that tall, and I've learned that it's 

a good idea to stick to a few colors and have 

many different patterns and textures in the fabrics.

I'm working on a project where I style

 the light blue dress every day for a whole week 

and this is the first day of styling!

My wish list for next month is: a long blue cardigan, pants, 

artist shirts, a red slip dress and a coat.

I've been in love with this piece of jewelry for a while and then one day it was on sale, so I spoiled myself and bought it! It is not included in the budget ;D

Clothes I'm letting go this month! 

I take it to a recycling container because it is very worn!

Hair Style With G.S. Scarf

 

I have promised to show how I put my hair up in a hairbun and use a braided G.S. scarf as decoration. It's much easier than you might think to put your hair up in a bun! I don't have that much hair anymore, but that's no problem as this hairstyle needs to be a little bohemian and loose!

When the scarf is braided it looks like this!

Make a loop at one end of the scarf. 

The technique is just like crocheting, you pull the long end of the scarf through the first loop, so you get a new loop. Then you repeat it until you reach the end of the scarf.

Slide your fingers through the loop

Pull the scarf through the loop and continue in the same way until you reach the end of the scarf!

When you have reached the end of the scarf, finish by pulling the end of the scarf through the loop without forming a new loop.

I use two kinds of hair elastics for setting up my hair. You will need a large elastic band and three of the small elastic bands.

Start by gathering your hair in a ponytail  with the large elastic band.

Divide the ponytail in two. Put the small hair elastics at the end of them!

Now you split the ponytails and pull the end through twice to twist them.

You now have two twisted ponytails ready to be set up in a bun!

Twist the two twisted ponytails around the big eleastik you started with and fasten the ends by tucking it under the elastic!

Put a small eleastik at one end of your braided scarf so you have a loop you can put down over your hairbun.

Tie the scarf around your hair bun.

You can finish by hiding the scarf ends or you can leave them hanging loosely.

I hope you will have fun trying for yourself!
