This is the end of Wear Less Black. The end of nearly more than three weeks of grubbing in my wardrobe looking for some not-black pieces... and mostly finding light summer stuff that don't work in cold wintertime. Maybe i start a another turn in summer ...

So, what did i learn about fashion-myself while wearing less black?!

1. ... there's no black laundry to do
2. ... it's wonderous but WLB works much better to me when i get dressed for office ...
3. ... when i go out... i want to wear (at least a little bit of) black. don't ask me why ... i didn't knew that before.
4. ... during WLB i was buying mostly black items!
5. ... i can't wait to jump in some outfits that doesn't work without any black.

Bangs To Struggle

Wear Less Black at work again ... blazer: zara // top: ann christine // pants: zara // my fav belt: thrifted // shoes: vintage // vintgae scarf: thrifted // vintage bag: flea market // necklaces and earrings: flea markets, vintage & thrifted

Wear Less Black off work ... plaid dress: h&m // belt: flea market // brown tights: avanti // vintage boots: flea market

this is the fourth time in the past two years i try to grow my bangs out . when i see all this amazing looking blogerettes with their cool straight cut bangs, i really start to struggle with this kind of NO-hairdo on my forehead. But this time i want to stay strong... the only good thing about the long bang-something is, that i'm able to do a pompadour/quiff again (whats the right word for german 'tolle'. elvis had one... i have one at the first outfit...).

darling readres out there - do you have some ideas what could i do with my long bangs?
