Buy a plant

A few months ago, I filled out a survey, that drew me a wheel of life based on the results. I guess, I don't have to tell you, that it's a wheel with which it's impossible to move. One of the most critical areas, that I have to improve is my physical environment. So I decided to buy a plant. It has to be relatively small, something that's easy to care for and that loves sun.

Do you have plants in your house? If not, why; do you let them dry out or you over-water them? Let me know in the Comments below!

Buy a mobile phone

In my home country, if you don't have a house or flat and you don't pay your own bills, you can't buy a mobile phone from any of the telecom companies. So it didn't matter that I had a good job, as I lived in a rented apartment, I couldn't have my own phone, it had to be obtained by my parents. I moved to another country and decided to buy an independent phone, then go to the telecom company with the best subscription plan and get it all set up. I'm really proud that after long years I finally have my own phone and subscription plan paid with my own earnings. Somehow it made me feel independent.

Do you own anything, that gives you a sense of independence? What acquisition of yours are you the most proud of? Let me know in the Comments below!

Get the French wardrobe

This is a goal in progress...

I'm a classic elegance kinda girl, so naturally, when it comes to building the perfect wardrobe, I aim for the timeless French style. Black and red, navy and white. So far, this is what I've managed to achieve:

A black dress: this is not The LBD yet, just a simple A-line dress with a fantastic cut, that I can wear both for the office and for a night out. I found it in a second hand store that sells brand new pieces, as well.

A pair of black shorts: well, this one was actually a mistake. I was so desperate to have a pair of shorts I could wear to the city, that I completely ignored, that it was not the right fit. Usually, I don't do things like that, so that just further proves my desperation. Actually, I could totally ignore this item and leave it off my list of acquisitions, as I practically never wear it.

3 red tops: I was so desperate to have something red, that now I have 3 red tops. Unfortunately, they're all long-sleeved, so now I need a red T-shirt and I really wouldn't mind a red skirt either. Or a pair of red shoes. Or leather gloves.

2 sailor striped tops: I used to have a navy-and-white striped pull, and I'd love to have one again. Well, these 2 are not pulls, just a long and a short-sleeved top, but I'm very very happy with them. I love wearing them with my vintage burnt orange pleated muslin skirt.

So far, so good...
