How to rock a 'dirndl'

It's that special time of the year, where in several cities around the globe - especially in Germany and Austria, too - the beginning of Autumn is celebrated with ladies in 'dirndl' dresses and gents in leather trousers. At least, so the cliché says.  The biggest party of that kind is the famous Bavarian Oktoberfest with thousands, up to a million of people attending. One of my Austrian blogging colleagues, Petra, had the idea, that we could initiate a blogger parade for the start of the Oktoberfest with several postings around that very theme. Now here's how I participate! My first dirndl look of all time - of course, a little less traditional than you're probably used to seeing it, but with an edgy twist for my personal note. I'd love to hear your thoughts on my way of pulling it off! Oh, and I'd be interested in your Oktoberfest experiences, too. If you're into the topic, don't miss the posts of my fellow blogger ladies! Links will be provided after the pictures.

Love, Julie.
