TOMBOY DRESS UP | Dungaree Dress

Being a tomboy by nature, I have never been one for dresses or skirts. The times I did wear one, it was mainly because of silly gender roles and a stupid will to fit in. This dungaree dress however complements my not so girly personality perfectly. It’s a plain black denim dress with a minimalist seventies feel. And I have been all about those seventies lately. Not the in your face floral print kind, but more so a dialed down minimal version. After all, I do have to brave the streets and stares of 2k16.

Dear Fall, welcome back. You were missed. 

The Great Puzzle #8: The Mean Reds

We all have that place we turn to when everything, “life”, gets a little bit too much. I had a few of those. In Antwerp I had the coffee shop on the corner of my street and a used bookstore called De Slegte. De Slegte is actually a bookstore chain and they have one of those in Hasselt, but it just isn’t the same.

The Great Puzzle #6: A Little Goodbye to Antwerp

I was so happy to be stepping on that train this morning. I was going to visit one of my favorite cities and some of my favorite people. But the Antwerp I had left didn’t seem to be there anymore. With my vision no  longer blurred by stress and anxiety, the place I arrived at had changed drastically.

The streets I rushed through countless times with my headphones in, music blaring, on my way to a little studio I had started to call home suddenly called for all my attention. All of a sudden there were shops I never cared to notice before and statues of people long gone that never caught my eye. It almost felt like I was on vacation trying to take in and remember as much of it as I possibly could before having to leave it behind in this strange place in the past you can only place by looking at 

pictures or pointing it out on a map.

I’m on my way home now, I guess. And as the train takes me away from the place I spend the last two years of my life, I begin to realize just how much I am going to miss this place and the people in it.

The Great Puzzle #5: Changes. Changes everywhere...

Pfoo… It’s been a crazy busy week full of changes. Firstly, I moved back home from my university room and from my room at home, I moved into my sister’s old room. Which, for someone who doesn’t like change, is a lot on its own. And to know that these pretty big changes are only a side effect of an even bigger change is downright scary.
