raisons de vivre: mars 2013

Passion for Fashion (2) is a styling competition which is being held by Money Supermarket! It's about putting together an outfit for a low cost and maybe winning and whole new wardrobe for spring/summer!

Yes, i might drool over expensive, high street, designer clothes but like anyone I do Love a good bargain. And since i'm not gonna turn into a millionaire anytime soon i will try to find the best for less.

Which is not as hard these days! So without further ado, here is my entry #PassionForFashion2

I hope you like it...

When i hear casual i automatically think of jean & a T-shirt! But that doesn't mean throw any random baggy shirt and normal boring jeans! No! you can be casual but still look Fashionable! Which is why i chose these comfy yet stylish boyfriend jeans combined black spike wedged trainers and a simple white Tee! add to that The classic Zara shopper bag, some jewelry and a simple beanie with a splash of neon and your off!
For makeup choices, the world is the limit but i thought adding some color would be nice!

It's just makes you feel alive! I also went with a gold simple thong sandal instead of flipflops!
