Outfit: Pockets

Shirt: H&M Garden Collection, Skirt: Zara, Shoes: Thrift Store, Necklace: Bijou Brigitte

I love the sunlight after 5 pm. 

And then of course the sunset.

You can find some pretty stunning sunsets here in the Midwest :)

Away from light and sunsets, and back to the actual outfit here.

If I would have to shop at one store for the rest of my life, it would probably most likely be H&M.

They have flowers, and I want flowers.

The best collection H&M has ever come up with, in my personal flower-obsessed opinion, is the Garden Collection!

I own at least half of the pieces from that collection, still on the hunt for all of them...

This shirt is one of my favorites, because not only is it florals to the max, but it is super colorful.

Light material and nice for a hot summer day.

The skirt is the perfect basic pieces in my wardrobe. I can combine it with any type of shirt. 

Best thing about it though: Those pockets!

I might have mentioned it before, but this is now my "bar-skirt" because it will hold keys, ID, etc.

(Now don't you assume that anytime I wear this skirt I am out and about at random bars...)

This necklace was a birthday gift.

I tend to wear a lot of bright colors and patterns, and then forget to add accessories.

But this lovely orange piece hangs around my neck quite often.

Now I miss my beloved shopping mall at home in Germany.

(Es ist schon fast eine Tradition mit meiner Mama bei Bijou Brigitte verrückte Ringe an zu probieren)

While Germany "celebrates" Pfingsten, I will enjoy a relaxing Memorial Day here in the States.

Might as well check out ebay for more Garden Collection items :)

It's my grown-up version of Pokemon: Gotta catch 'em all!

(who am i kidding, i still own and occasionally play Pokemon on the gameboy...)

Enough silliness!

Garden Greetings from the Midwest,
