I just wanted to say goodbye for the next 6 days.

I will take a lot of photos and buy mountains of new clothes,I am so excited about what I'll come back with!

Hope you all will be having a jolly good week and I'm excited to see what you've been wearing in the meantime.

I'm off to London now with a plane.(Ok,that sounds ridiculous after my post about saving the environment and therefore trying to reduce....CO2-emissions! I....I....I can't help it,it was a present.....err....)

Goodbye and enjoy the nature !

I just saw a sort of documentation on my favorite and one of the only two channels I'm watching 'ARTE' . Its name was 'I buy/(I'm buying?),therefore I am'. It was about world-wide disparities and how much we consume and that if everybody on this world would be consuming as much as an north American we would need a five times bigger planet and how much plastic and trash there is and that noone knows where to put it and some of the commentators said that in their opinion the apocalypse has already begun.I thought about thrifting and that it might be very good for the environment.No little,poor children in Bangladesh are sewing my H&M-clothes and no CO2-emissions because there's no plane that brings the clothes to Bangladesh and back to Germany(or wherever else). I know-if we don't buy our clothes there the children and families don't even get this small amount of money they're getting because they have this poor work but we can't keep on doing this.We can not go on repressing poor countries.Other ways need to be found.I don't see the problem.There is an overabundance of food and many other things in the industrial countries while people from the less and least developed countries are starving.I will try my best and avoid buying new clothes from now on.So you need to excuse me buying this H&m dress and sort of bra today...before I saw this film !! Some things you don't get at the flea market but I'll be going again tomorrow.I found two bras without straps for just 5 bucks and I was always looking for this kind of a bra and they even fit! Couldn't believe my luck.
A goodnight to everyone !

Just a short question for my abiding commentators:
Do you have to enter a word before you can post a comment on my blog?
End of question.

So,prom is over.

It was not a night of extraordinary happenings but it was fine.We danced until they turned the light on,telling us indirectly but authoritative that the party is over and we have to GO.

The best thing about having finished school is by far that in 3 days me and my cousin will be going to.......LONDON! Man,London is such an impressive city.It is fast,though. But there are huuge vintage markets and little shops and lovely hullabaloo at every corner and remarkable,exotic food.

My dear best friend and I. We love trees.

The girly-girls.Ah,I'm pretty unconfident with my hair and all that now that I see us by comparison.

And now I'm off changing € into pounds !

Well,well.

Today I was wearing the new salmon skirt with another striped shirt.Because of the hotness outside I shaved my legs(yes,I have to) and went out without tights.Whew,that was new to me.But I'll spare myself showing you my lousy naked legs.

It's evening and tomorrow there will be celebrations all day long.First,there'll be a service at a huge church,then we will get our report cards and overmotivated students show off with some dances (I would have joined them like last year but for some reason they didn't want to dance Afro again,ah I loved it) and then in the evening we all will wear our best dresses,shiny shoes and neat fingernails.I am a little nervous.Proms are totally overrated anyway.

I will leave you with just a simple picture today and soon I'll try posting prom photos.

Have a great weekend and enjoy the nature !

The streets are empty,crickets are chirring -or is it the whirring of some trumpet-like thing?- everyone's watching the World Cup.

I am alone tonight and I'm planning a nice and relaxing evening.

The first thing I did was cooking.Camembert and meat-free meat.Great.

Then I went outside to take some photos of the things I got at the flea market today.

Further I plan to..errr...sleep and sleep and ...sleep.I'm totally worn out.

But here are my latest finds:

A body(we call it body in Germany,a tight piece of cloth that is like a swimsuit and the upper part can be worn under a skirt or pants),a dress(I wanted to wear it for prom but..it doesn't fit!) and a salmon-coloured skirt( I got it for 30 ct.!)

I want to thank you dear girls again for your words,they made my day..definitely!

The Times They Are A-Changin'

It might sound bizarre but my mother is in hospital and this is the best news in months.She is sick with a congenital disease and decided to go there on her own.

SO many good things happened!Our stepfather came earlier from work,he brought a bunch of flowers,they kissed for the first time in years,we 4 as a family walked through the hospital park,my mother put her wedding ring back on and the most amazing thing that let some tears come out was when my stepfather told my mother how much he praid in the last months and that on sunday evening he praid more than ever and lit a candle and then on monday morning my mother woke me up and asked me to get her to the hospital. Got it,Got it?

Honestly,I am grateful.

I just don't know what is about to come.

Maybe it's inappropriate to post today's outfit but this day is like any other day it is just a million times more..changing than others.

I'm wearing these kinds of shirts everyday now.I just don't have time,or well,I don't MAKE time for this.I have other things to fill my time these days.

Tomorrow there will be my beloved flea market in the early morning,after a visit at my dear mother,buying important things and then work,work,work.

I hope this night won't be ruined with nightmares as the last nights.It might be too much without thinking and handling it all before going to bed.Keep on reading Freud and making some time for thinking might help.

Goodnight,Goodnight !

Next saturday we will have our prom.
I am not very excited about it and don't want to make a big thing of it.

But nonetheless I wanted a dress,a classic and simple dress,not conspicuous or uncomfortable.I didn't put much effort into searching a good one when my sister and our cousin and I went to Cologne.I am wearing skirts or dresses all day long but it's always rather baggy clothes and comfortable ! I have no idea what to wear for prom without looking vain or styled. Do you?

Maybe I will return this one. The neckline is WAY too plunging.(I don't know how to say that,a plunging neckline?).And it's a little tight and everything.I imagined to wear this dress with black tights and red wedges,simple red wedges without bow ties or any other adornment.

Ohh man.No.This is all too much.I am totally confused about this prom.

The black bow tie around my waist.

The velly pletty lace,said the chinese man.

I found 4 gaaarreat pieces !

These shoes were just 1 € ! Couldn't believe it.

This..errrr..pretty shirt is for my American friend.He always wears the craziest shirts and it has American flags, American cars and American skylines and of course the Statue of Liberty on it.It will be a little present for him when I'll go to visit him this summer.I'm excited about how he will like it !

This shirt is for me.It's a little too big at the shoulders because it's a man's shirt but oh well.

And this dream of a dress will be me summer dress,after I have shortened it of course.

I don't have much time.I should be en route by now.

That girl she's a nut.

I start perishing from this work.

The worst,WORST thing about all that's happening in my life these days is that everything is so fast.

You know,there were days when I walked to school,listening to my silent music in empty streets on cold mornings.It was the best time I've ever had.Now I struggle to get it back.

The one thing I enjoy is riding my bike at 5am in the morning where there are barely any cars out on the streets.I would always pass a certain corn field.The einkorn(it should be einkorn;this is what I found out after long nights of researches) is at its peak and it has a fluffy top(appearances are deceiving!) and it glows golden when the sun rises in the early morning.I am always touched about the nature appearing at its best.(Every morning again I wonder why some people feel such inner happines about a beautiful nature.I think it goes back to when people actually lived in the nature,their houses made of woods,leaves,mud.It was all they had,it is their and our home and it's all we have in the end.)

This lets me think of four other more or less important things spinning in my head:

1.Dinosaurs. I just watched a documentation about dinosaurs with the kiddos.K-girl asked me how they died out and I answered it was because of the Ice Age.While Tommi-boy said it was because of a meteorite(like the meteorite banging in Yucatán that gave this peninsula its characteristical shape and the spalling chunks probably caused the Cenotes.I would give SO much for swimming there one day,having an Arielle-like fish tail &having my dolphin friends swimming next to me).Still,my question isn't answered,I hate giving wrong answers.I will do a research.

2.Tonight I recognized again how much I like Hans Zimmers song titles.(Except for one,maybe two songs the melodies are not worth knowing). 'My Mind Rebels At Stagnation','Ah,Putrefaction','Discombobulate'.

Ahhhh,well.They are not THAT good.I learned two new words at least.PUTREFACTION !

3.Another new word,or should I say another new saying I learned today is 'mind you'.I will surely keep this in mind,always looking for adequate words and exclusive sentences.I know,it's not that successful.

4.Today I have seen another documentation about Indians.The first thing I will not forget that quick(little new anecdote) is that real Indians indeed never wore headbands! It was a Hollywood invention to fix the wigs because actors would fall from their horses quite often. Interesting how everything is so cohesive:Indians,wearing headbands,Indie music,wearing headbands.Ok,not cohesive at all.In my head it worked out!The word Indian is taken from Indio,a neologism which was created because Cristóbal Colón-Christopher Columbus- thought he'd reached India,anyone noticing the similarity between those words?).Another thing that's very remarkable is the beauty of south American people.Peruvians,yes I think I can say so,are the most beautiful people I know.

Good.Finally.So we got this part.

Now we can talk about clothes.

I found 4 pieces this weekend.(Not on a flea market,not thrifted,not cheap.I should be ashamed of meself).

Not worn creative.It is late and there's not enough coffee left to create a representative combination.

It's awful,I wish I hadn't spent that much money without trying it.

Good,good,blessed night.

I don't know what happened today.

First I was wearing a pretty and comfortable skirt with nice blue shoes.'No,too tarted up for work', I thought.And there I saw the only pants that's been left after my wardrobe revolution.I had that picture of Jean Seberg wearing her Herald Tribune shirt in my head.


I love the length of her trousers.(Well, I don't want to give the impression that the trousers are the best thing in this gorgeous movie. Believe me,they are not.)
Anyway.My outfit doesn't look a bit like hers but...well,I needed a plausible excuse for my pants today.




Hm,no.I don't feel comfortable.Too bad I need to leave for work RIGHT now.
Adieu.

Ohhh my,I made it. I have finished school.I am SO confident with the grades I got,they were better than ever.I was close to crying when they told me I don't have to be tested again and that I have passed everything.The two men passing me the paper laughed because I was so shaky and close to a collapse.

Right after I went to a store to make myself a little present and this dress is the result.

Looks like I am pregnant,but let me tell you- I'm not.

A good weekend.

My (step)father went sailing today.He's bought a nice little,green sail boat & asked us to come with.

While he's been out on the sea(or should I say lake as it IS a lake) my sister and I walked along the shore and burned our foreheads,shoulders,feet,noses,cheeks and arms,this is every uncovered part of our bodies.

When he was back,the three of us started to scrub the little nutshell.Off went the shoes,up went the pants. I love walking barefoot.With the blue bucket and the wooden scrubber and the bubblegum-blue phosphate-free cleaning lotion we cleaned it.I somehow loved it.It reminded me of Free Willy,without Willy. But I love this Holland-feeling.Being in the sea,having sand everywhere,walking barefoot all day,hearing the thunderous wind,coming home in the evening,taking a shower and eat fish somewhere,maybe a glass of white wine and cigarettes.

Last year I once made a several-hour-walk,collected shells,walked through the sea and listened to the music that reminds me of my love.

Louis Armstrong for instance.
It was the time that I read Sidonie Colette,that oh so inspiring girl,it was the time I took my bike and drove 1 hour to that internet café each day.Yet the saddest and at the same time the most inspiring time I've had.

I didn't want to talk that much.This is not what I was wearing today(no no,definitely no skirt at the windy,thunderous beach).It is what I came up with when I was bored and saw this pretty outfit Modesty is Pretty was wearing recently: http://modestyispretty.blogspot.com/2010/06/three-more-days.html . I tried copying it but it's lousy and doesn't have a use.I should be creative and invite my own outfits.Anyway,I loved it a bunch!

I missed the flea market today.I woke up and the alarm clock said 1:40 pm,oh my gawd,I was shocked.But it was a mistake,I must have changed the time while I was half asleep.Interesting,I know.

I was glad it was early.I had time to write a letter.

The day with the two little people was good.Really.I must say I am quite proud how we three managed to turn the messiest - MESSIEST- room with the most pink clothes I have ever seen in one place into the pink little palace it has been before.I also cleaned up the kitchen,it needed three dishwashers full with dishes.It was quite hard,some dishes yet had mildew on them and I found bowls with dried milk or honey or whatever in it that I couldn't even scratch it off with a sharp knife!We played at least 5 games and Tommi-boy started talking to me.They went nuts when we started playing Memory!

Jeez!

Just got into something.

It's June,I know,I know.But this little ensemble could be a golden Christmas Tree in the middle of the night with big snowflakes.How's that?

Y los zapatos rojos.

Today will be me first official day at the family that engaged me.

Both the children are very pretty.The boy looks like Tommi.

Anyway,for this occasion I decided to wear pants,well not real pants,rather leggings.I just can't force myself to wear jeans or other pants ever again.

So this is what I'm wearing:

I was walking.And this picture was taken absolutely incidentally...err....really!
