This looks so much nicer.

Thanks for telling us about Frühschoppen. That's neat :)</p> <p>One of my grandmothers was German. You'd never know; my peeps left for the New World in the 1840s and we know nothing about nothing. Still, I had my *German dresses,* and my dad had lederhosen. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-fruhschoppen#post-973333 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 14:53:18 +0000 Astrid 973333@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, the one in München. My oldest friend (I've know her since kindergarten) now lives in München because she studies there. We haven't been in close contact for a while but she's coming for a visit soon and I'll visit her during Oktoberfest. So I'm not going there only for Oktoberfest, but of course it's a good opportunity to have a look. But a dirndl is out all the same, I just don't have the money to buy something I'd likely wear only once. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-fruhschoppen#post-973304 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 14:23:39 +0000 jurocha 973304@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's always a pleasure to read everyone's words! Thanks gals!</p> <p>@Astrid: To which Oktoberfest are you going? München? Despite all the tourist appeal of it, traditional black-white-green/black-white-and-red and black-white-and yellow dirndls are on every girl's body: from old timers Oktoberfest goers to the youngest teens. I have my reservations (and harsh critique) of the Oktoberfest in München, but it is certainly something worth seeing once and I think you get a good excuse to try at least once to wear a dirndl (Ya know: the best "I've been there, done that"-style). Hehehe. Have fun and write more about it here once you go/come back later this year.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-fruhschoppen#post-973220 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 12:43:03 +0000 missvee 973220@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your outfit is beautiful - lovely colours and very flattering.

The dirndls in the shop you linked to are great, I can see the appeal. The one with the dogs is cute! I really like the "Glitzermoos" one, very classy. I actually would have an occasion to wear one this year, I'm going to be visiting Oktoberfest for the first time ever. But it's still not going to happen. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-fruhschoppen#post-972763 Sun, 07 Jul 2013 21:30:25 +0000 Diana 972763@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely outfit, and I think the blue shoes are just fantastic with black and white!

I actually own 3 dirndls (my Mom is German but we spent a lot of time in Austria). &nbsp;This reminds me to wear mine again.</p> <p>Your outfit is very beautiful and elegant. &nbsp;The black and white theme is soooo on trend, I love that! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-fruhschoppen#post-972664 Sun, 07 Jul 2013 18:58:00 +0000 jurocha 972664@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@columbine: thanks for you kind words!

I have just yesterday seen a post from you; I didn't know you lived in Berlin. Newbie@YLF here. In Austria, we too have different mixtures (wine + water, wine + almdudler, wine + hollunder syrup etc...) in different proportions (but anything that has more water/almdudler or syrup than wine is considered a children's mix. Hehehe) I know you mentioned you're not a dirndl type of gal, but check this shop out anyways:&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://dirndlherz.at/">http://dirndlherz.at/</a>. Their versions of this traditional clothing are so much fun: they use bold, rock-y prints and I already fell in love with a few models.&nbsp;(There's one in camel and black with a dog print - you can see it on the slideshow in the homepage - that I find just awesome!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-fruhschoppen#post-972506 Sun, 07 Jul 2013 14:10:24 +0000 Astrid 972506@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh and Frühschoppen comes from the past, when men would go to the local taproom for a 'Schoppen' directly after early morning mass (in der 'Frühe' - in the early morning). Depending on where you were, drinking local brew meant drinking beer or wine. Schoppen is an old liquid measure, meaning half a liter. At home we have several versions of Schoppen - more water than wine and more wine than water, for those that can take a bit more.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-fruhschoppen#post-972505 Sun, 07 Jul 2013 14:08:22 +0000 Parsley 972505@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh- that explains it!

Meaning 32AA I think? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-fruhschoppen#post-972497 Sun, 07 Jul 2013 14:02:02 +0000 Parsley 972497@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very pretty, and it's so interesting to hear about&nbsp;<span>Frühschoppen!<br />Sorry to be dense, but what's a 70A?</span> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-fruhschoppen#post-972495 Sun, 07 Jul 2013 13:56:42 +0000 Astrid 972495@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very nice! I've been to a lot of Frühschoppen myself, but I have never in my life worn a dirndl. I'm coming from a wine-growing district and Frühschoppen (with wine NOT beer) is a tradition there too. But as a German who's not from Bavaria I'm not all that enarmoured of wearing a dirndl. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-fruhschoppen#post-972478 Sun, 07 Jul 2013 13:07:02 +0000 Anonymous 972478@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look nice! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-fruhschoppen#post-972475 Sun, 07 Jul 2013 12:54:55 +0000 jurocha 972475@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Frühschoppen is the austrian interpretation of a brunch and it usually happens after a 6am mass. It's a countryside tradition; people wear dirnld and lederhosen... I am still skeptical about being able to pull off a dirndl (After all, I was not born in Austria and I am a 70A), so I choose classic, feminine outfits for those occasions instead.</p> <p>Starring: my blue suede pumps! (Please forgive the lightning once again) 28 degrees Celsius, Sunny wth intermitent clouds.</p> <p>(I ditched the blazer as soon as I arrived at the heuriger. Far too hot... Below the blazer, I had just a basic white layering top.) </p>
