If The Shoe Fits

Hello!




The best thing about being petite is that you can rework a below the knee skirt into a tube dress.This is a great piece to wear for a leisurely walk in the park or a perfect cover-up in the beach for your 2-piece/1-
piece swimsuit. Isn´t that nice? ;)


Wearing: skirt/ tube dress, rose quartz necklace- bazaar (Phils.), purple sandals- local Spanish store

It isn´t the same though with having very small feet.You can´t rework a huge pair of shoes to your size even if you place a dozen Dr. Scholls ( did I spell that right? ) on it. I´m a 5 and most shoe sizes here start with 6. What a dilemma when I go shoe shopping! And yep, my shoe size is directly proportional to my height. hahaha!

How about you? Do you have shoe sizing problems too?

Happy Monday to all! :)

I bet that "dress" also looks fantastic as a skirt! I like that you are exploring its many options.
That is too bad about your shoe issue. I don't have problems finding shoes, however my feet a very small for my height. I'm nearly 5'10" but I wear size 7.

im lucky that i have size 7 feet and finding shoes isn't that hard. however, i can totally relate to being petite and finding some long tops and skirts to be dresses.

that dress has such a tropical feel to it!! lovely! :D

You did well with the skirt/dress.
The colours are so motivating. This is so unfortunate about your shoes thingy. Enjoy the day;-)

OMG ang sexy mo naman Che!!!

Anyway about shoe sizing, OMG kaloka dito. In pinas I'm size 7 or 7 1/2. While here in the states... its either 6, 6 1/2 or 7. That's why I don't buy my shoes on line, it's really annoying haha.

Very sweet look. It looks perfect for the beach or a casual stroll.
Talking about height and feet size, I'm 5'8" with a shoes size of 6. Not proportionate at all!

Hello, Ate!
I missed you again!
Motherhood really makes me busy and occupied
kaya less time on blogging.

Ate, mukhang pumapayat ka? uy, pa-sexy nang pa-sexy c Ate! I agree, that's one of the reasons when you are petite, I wear skirt as a dress too.
Pink and green really suit you. Love those colors!

P.S. Freddy runs fast na and I am happy nabawasan na ang pagkakarga ko sa kanya at nabawasan na rin backache ko.

shirt dress converted to top - Zara ( from the sales last year) Lately, I´ve discovered that the extra pounds that I´ve unconsciously piled over the past years have finally settled comfortably on my face. I´m going to hide my face for now. ;) Do you have a wgi (weight gain indicator and I made this up)  in your body? I do and it´s my face (aside from the muffin top). hehe!;) earrings - bazaar (Phils.) I love shirt dresses. They´re loose and they basically hide anything that you wanted to hide. Know what I mean? ;) One bad thing about this particular dress shirt though is the fit. It´s too loose, a bit short and it doesn´t look good with my mini ... and so a lot of rolling and folding was done to achieve the  laid back look that I wanted to create . That´s me rolling and folding below. ;) I´m just kidding about hiding my face. Here it is... and yes, my face is so healthy, no? :) Say hello to the weight gain culprit ! My guilt...

Flyday Fridays: Paris (part 1)

Image
The first time I went to Paris was in early spring. It was raining and gloomy but that didn´t stop me from falling in love with this romantic city. Here are some things to do and places to visit when you´re in Pa-gheee . ;) 1, 2, 3: Get lost inside le Louvre,  pass by   Mona Lisa´s room and get mesmerized by her coy smile and if you like ancient jewelry, be enthralled by the museum´s jewelry collection. Even the bishop´s crozier is bejeweled! 4: Admire the Sainte Chapelle´s amazing ceiling, structure and colorful stained glass windows. 5,6: Fall in line (entrance is free!) and admire the sculpture and stained windows of the Notre Dame. By this time you´re very tired and so take a rest at the park/garden at the back of the church. Later you can cross the small bridge and have your lunch at one of the numerous creperies and restaurants in the small island. 7,8: After a light lunch, take the metro and go to Montmartre and visit the Sacré Coeur....

Skirting the Issue

Image
Halooo! So how´s your weekend? ;) Mine was spent visiting the new flat ( we just had the new sofa delivered, yey!) and last Saturday we went to this mini-food fair where they sell lots of goodies. I tasted some chorizos, jamon serrano, and a glass of white wine too. Too bad I forgot to take the camera so no photos to show you but we brought home some sweets which unfortunately we also gobbled up during the weekend. hihihi! At least I´ve spared you from breaking your diets this summer. ;) Truth be told, I don´t look good wearing high waisted skirts because I have wide hips ( I´m good at hiding them here ;) . Maybe I could pull off wearing them 10 yrs. ago when I still have a slimmer silhouette, er, smaller waistine and hips and a flatter middle but now everything especially my hips are expanding faster like the speed of light. So a mini-hipster skirt is just perfect for me. floral top - Vero Moda skirt - Mango ( summer sales 2008) ring and silver bracelets - local ...
