Happy Monday, lovelies! February is a rather busy month for me. When last week hubby and I celebrated our wedding anniversary, then this week, it’s time to celebrate my blog’s 10th birthday! I can’t believe that beautybymissl.com turns 10 years old on the 11th of February!
I remember when I just started my blog – and where I am now. I started blogging ten years ago because, firstly, I was bored – my hubby was away because of his work, and my days basically just consisted of going to work.
When I started my blog, then I didn’t really have a clear idea of what my blog would be about. I mean there wasn’t exactly anything blog-worthy in my personal or work life and therefore I decided to review (mainly) beauty products I used. Why? I hoped that maybe these reviews would be helpful for those who were thinking about buying a certain product.
I also followed quite a lot of beauty and fashion blogs back then and so I wanted to start posting makeup looks and outfit posts too. However, I was actually scared to show myself on the blog. I don’t even know why anymore, but it did feel scary. So it felt safer to just create nail art and do product reviews, and share pics of places I visited.
I shared my very first outfit post – labeled with “outfit” in July 2012 when I was pregnant with my first one. The outfit I showed in that post was super simple and one of the outfits I wore very often because it was comfortable. After that one post, there was almost a year break with “outfit” posts.
Little Black Dress & Pink Jacket
Last week I showed you an outfit featuring a little black dress with embellished neckline paired with a pink jacket and yellow flats. My today’s outfit is again a little black dress and a pink jacket, but this time it’s simple plain black bodycon dress with a bright pink jacket.
I have shown both the dress and jacket on their own but not styled together. This time I decided to put them together and add a pair of black patent heels and a statement necklace from Happiness Boutique.
My black and pink outfit
- black ribbed V neck midi dress from Femme Luxe
- pink Danna Zip Waterfall Jacket from WearAll.com
- black patent pumps from Marks & Spencer
- Nude Floral Embellished Round necklace from Happiness Boutique

Thank you 🙂

Fabulous, classic look. And I can totally relate to feeling shy about posting pictures of yourself when you first started your blog. Having my photo taken was very much outside my comfort zone but now it’s second nature.
