Ik denk dat ik voor de gehele vrouwelijke wereldbevolking (uit eerste-wereld-landen dan) spreek als ik zeg dat online shoppen eigenlijk meer een curse dan een blessing is. Ik kon mezelf eerder altijd vrij goed beheersen. Als ik ging winkelen had ik een plan, ik zocht namelijk een geldautomaat op en haalde precies zo veel geld van mijn rekening af als ik maximaal wou uitgeven. Op die manier had ik overzicht over wat ik nog in mijn portemonnee had zitten, en wat er dus ook uit mocht. Sinds ik een bijna-fulltime baan heb, een vriendje heb, en ook nog eens een studie probeer te volgen heb ik gewoon niet zo veel tijd meer om urenlang de stad in te gaan. Dat is waar mijn grote leed omhoog komt. Online shoppen. Asos, Boohoo.com, fashionmusthaves, H&M (wat denk ik nog wel de gevaarlijkste is) en zo nog meer van die webshops die kleren aanbieden voor prijzen waar je nekharen op een positieve manier van overeind gaan staan.
Tegenwoordig zit ik elke vierde dinsdag van de maand fanatiek de "Mijn ING" pagina te vernieuwen zodat ik op het moment dat mijn salaris binnen is gekomen kan gaan shoppen. En dan niet door even 5 minuten te fietsen naar het centrum van Utrecht, maar door op het tabblad in mijn browser te klikken die al een tijdje open stond, wachtend en loerend.
Ik denk dat het gevaarlijkste aan deze sites is dat er altijd wel iets van een sale aan de hand is. Altijd wel iets van een kortingscode die ergens vandaan hebt gevist, altijd wel een uitverkoop waardoor je al die leuke dingetjes weer met 50% korting krijgt.
Ondertussen puilt mijn kast uit met kleding die nét niet lekker past, of waarvan het materiaaltje gewoon nét niet helemaal mijn ding is. Terugsturen! Zonde. Want als ik weer wat afgevallen/aangekomen ben of grotere borsten/kleinere borsten/slankere taille/vollere taille/brede heupen/slankere heupen/kortere benen heb past het vast wel. En die schoenen die eigenlijk gewoon voor geen meter zitten omdat ik elke keer denk dat als ik maat 41 toch al pas, ik maat 40 ook wel moet passen (voor de goede orde, schoenmaat 42 represent).
Jullie ook zo van het online shoppen? Ook kasten vol met kleren die niet passen? Let me know!

Denim on denim
Hey babes!
Denim on denim has never been a favorite of mine. I think that's because there used to be this "trend' of people wearing denim jackets with jeans. They would wear them in colors that kind of matched, but not completely... I gotta admit that was one of my worst nightmares. Seriously people, look at yourself when you pull open your closet. But well, even though non-matching color pallettes are an allergy of mine, I think all people should have the right to wear whatever they want. I can look at people and think: "wow, how did you wake up this morning and put THAT on?" but I always wave that thought away because I don't think it's fair to critisize people on the way they look. If they think it's pretty, it's their truth and they have every right to think that.
Back to the subject of this post then.... Denim on denim. I found these jeans at Primark, which I used to really hate but now start to appreciate more and more. Since I became a student and my shopping-funding has been cut off almost completely, I'm starting to enjoy buying more pretty clothes instead of 1 item that was really expensive. Price is not that important to me anymore. These jeans were only €15, and as I said came from Primark. They are a bit stretchy, which makes them easier for my big butt to get in (haha). The shirt that I'm wearing is a vintage Levi's oversized blouse which is one of the favorite items in my closet. I can forget about it for months but sometimes I wear it twice a week. Under the jeans I'm wearing my worn out navy-blue Vans, usually my working/going out shoes but the comfiest ones in my shoe rack. I kept my accessories to a minimum, only wore a brown fringe bag and did my hair up with a red scarf.
I would like to know if you enjoy outfit posts, because I really love making them but only if they're interesting enough.... Let me know via a comment!
Love, Emma.

Fave sunnies
On the picture above you see me with me all time favorite sunnies. I bought them at this shop that I really love, Episode. It's a vintage store and they sell a lot of crap, things with way too many different floral prints and other dramatic things that even I would never be seen in. They however sell amazing accessories, and also great pants. Pants, you ask? Yes. Pants. They sell a lot of different Levi's for no more than €25. You have the classic high waisted model, but they have also made it their trademark to cut them off or customize them. I really love shopping there! You can find Episode in Utrecht at the end of the Oudegracht, and in Amsterdam in the 9 streets (De 9 Straatjes). These sunnies were bought in a large party and cost me €15. Way above my usual sunglasses-budget, but so what!

Polish or urban?
When I woke up this morning, I had an idea for a blog post but nowhere to actually post it. So I decide to make a new blog, my 5378th time. This time I'm really going to keep up, I promise.
This blog is about so many different things, but I'll try to give a light (and as short as possible) explanation of what it's going to be about.
At first, fashion, my biggest passion (har-har that rimes). I love fashion and shopping, but mostly I love looking for stuff that other people would easily look over. I would describe my style as indescribable, hence the title of my blog. I can be preppy, I can be casual, I can look like a hobo, it just depends on my feelings that day.
That brings me to the next topic, which is me trying to find out if I want to be preppy or casual, polish or urban.
Besides all those things I'll post about school, music, family, friends, me trying to get healthy again (not sick, just chubby) and things that I like!
I hope that with this I've done enough explaining about myself...
If you read this, post a comment telling me who you are and how you came to my blog :) would love to read that!
