zara people contest protest !

It's been weeks that every thursday I'm hoping - no, praying! - to be on the Zara People Contest!

You can win 300 euro to spend in the Zara Store if you take picture of you (in the street) with at least 2 items of the Zara Spring Collection. They are 10 winners picked every week during March, April and May.

I already bothered my boyfriend 4 times to take pictures of me in the street for this contest. I always changed the styling because I thought that the styling was the problem why I wasn't chosen... Every week I updated my new pictures on the Zara website, but I have never been picked :(.

BUT, I don't really care if I win or lose, but when I see that some girls and boys have been picked more than twice, a lot have been picked 3 times (does that mean they have won 900 euro?!) I really think it's unfair! There are girls (and boys) diying to be on the website (for example, ME) and they don't give them a chance!

I have the impression that they only chose skinny beautiful girls that spent lots of money on Zara and who have a very good camera (who takes beautiful pictures).

Of course, I'm not saying that I am better than those girls (or boys), but I think that everybody deserves a chance, and they should only pick a girl/boy ONCE, not twice (or more!). A girl even got picked TWICE in ONE week!


Here some pictures. Look how many people have been chosen more than once! Riccardo (3 times), Lucia, Reyes (3 times), Marie (3 times), Xabit, Matilda, Celita, Tonics (3 times), Ana Pintos, Florence and Paula. So 11 people have been chosen more than once. Isn't that unfair?

I'm so disgusted of Zara now!

Edit: I just discovered that TONICS (picked 3 times) is actually a street style blogger! So she took pictures of people in the street and then uploaded it on the Zara website (so she won 300 uro thanks to people who don't even know she took their picture for the contest!). Caroline of Fashion Squad was not aware of this, for example. AND when I looked at the silk blouse of Carolina (you can click on the clothes they are wearing on the picture) I noticed it wasn't the same, so she isn't even wearing to pieces of the Spring Zara Collection, WTF?!?!

Tonics, 3 times. This is also very unfair. Tonics is a streetsyle blog, so she pickes pictures from other people and she takes the money (picture of Carolina from Fashion Squad!)

outfit #21: silk

A few weeks ago I went to a vintage shop in Brussels (Episode) and I saw a row with loooots of silk shirts for only €10, but they were too big (they were for men actually). I went back yesterday and I tried it again and I thought that I actually could look it less big and this is the results! Do you like it? I'm also wearing some white silk shorts that I found years ago at Women's Secret during the sales period and I think I paid about €18 for it (with a white silk top, it was "sleepwear").

Edit: some of your comments are gone :(...

outfit #19: lazy

Today I'm staying home experimenting with my new sewing machine. I'm going to try to shorten some jeans and repairing a sweater... I'm wearing this new jumpsuit from Pimkie that I found in the mid-season sales. What do you think? I'm actually thinking of splitting it in a top and pants... What do you think? I'm really hesitating, because I don't know if I'm going to wear a jumpsuit often (not really what I usually wear). I need your advice!

Edit: I have separated the two pieces and it turned out great!

details: the shoe collection

Hi!

First of all, sorry for the lack of posting, but I had to work for a salon in Brussels. So, the outfit posts weren't really interesting because what I wore was awful (long skirt, white shirt, blazer with big shoulders). 3 trends, but trust me, they didn't go well together at all! While I was gone, my "cleaning lady" cleaned my room and took care of my shoes. I was kind of shocked with the results...
