How to add color to your look…

I am not a beige person. I do not hate beige and have beautiful beige pieces in my closet but I don´t only wear beige. Color has always been in my life, my home and my closet. I have been wearing colorful looks years before the fashion society called it „dopamine dressing“ and have always loved it.

I also understand that a lot of color can be overwhelming and not everyone is feeling a full neon pink sweater so let´s start slow. 

How to add color to your look 

Accessories are huge when it comes to adding color !!!

– scarves, beanie and gloves are easy to add to your sad Winter look

– shoes – although colorful shoes are hard to find (other than Red) and probably not made for Winter weather but definitely for Spring

– jewelry – a pair of buzzing earrings or a stack of colorful bracelets, a cocktail ring in a vibrant color shining from your hand

– leatherware – belts and handbags, not only are belts great to create a silhouette they are amazing to add some color. A bright Red handbag (I have pre-ordered this) will be a great partner in crime throughout the whole year. Red is great for Spring and Summer and also Wintertime

– if you are brave –  a colorful coat to your monochrome look

Weekly Review # 6….

Weekly Review

This week has been the calm before the storm. Next week is going to hit hard with lots of carnival and Valentine´s Day prep. I am always trying to get as much as possible done for the next week but some things like food prep can not be done a week before. Also decorating (I decorated our play group room for the mama-and-baby classes) has to be done shortly before. My girls have one curated day of the week when they are at their grandma´s house so I try to get as much as possible done on these days. 

What we ate

MondayOven potatoes with Feta Cheese

TuesdayGerman Wedding Soup with three kinds of dumplings – sausage, liver and semolina.

WednesdayWe had take-out from our favorite – the girls had chicken and fries and we had a Durüm (a wrap filled with meat, cole and sauce)

Thursday Leftovers from the day before and – of course – butter noodles for the girls 

Friday Omelett with cheese, tomatoes, ham and rocket

SaturdayPasta with tomatoe sauce (cause unfortunately the girls do not like anything else at the moment)

SundayWe ate out in Adlersberg with our family.

 

What I wore

It was mystery week of my closet challenge and I picked one piece blindfolded every day. Really cool if you want to wear pieces you haven´t reached for in a while. I have managed to style everything I have picked to my satisfaction.

What we did

I was out having breakfast with a mom friend of mine. We have a guacamole, bacon and egg bread topped of with lots of pesto and rocket. Very delicious but also very difficult to eat. Especially with one hand while containing an active toddler with the other.

 

My MIL celebrated her birthday today and we went out for lunch to a very old Bavarian restaurant and after that had cake and coffee at her house with the extended family. The girls behaved very well and ordered all by themselves and the little baby slept through all the lunch.

Valentine´s Day Inspo and Ideas…

….

(post contains affiliate links/Werbung/Markennennung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links-not sponsored)

Valentine´s Day is one of my favorite holidays. It is not very big here in Germany but I still love to make a little effort for my husband, my mom, my children and of course for myself. I do not need big presents or big gestures. I like to gift some flowers and a homemade cake to my mom and make my husbands favorite dinner and of course I do enjoy making the Valentine´s baskets for the girls. I really don´t need a thing cause I am happy to get things for other to make them feel special and loved but I always end up getting some crafts from my big girls.
