By the Lake

The other day, the hubz suggested that we pass by the lake. I always love this place because it´s looks so peaceful, so clean and so green. This is one of the things that I love most about the city where I live right now, the overall size of it´s parks is comparable to that of New York´s but the number of inhabitants is nowhere that near to NY´s. How´s that for healthy living? ;)







When I told the hubz that I´m going to dip my feet in there, he took a candid photo of me. Caught in the act, hahaha!

My feet can only take me near the shoreline because the water´s cold. Ayayay!


I love this maxi skirt which I reworked into a dress(again!) because of it´s floral applique. Actually aside from the color and the assymetrical hem, it´s the applique which caught my eye. The long beaded necklace looks exotic to me too. Colored corn, anyone? ;)



The day started out as having clear blue skies but while driving down there, all the clouds seemed to have gathered above the lake making most of my photos look dark. Bummer!

Later, we went to the other side of the lake to take some photos of these psychedelic eyes. Cute and colorful, too bad some of them had vandals. I wonder why some people love to autograph their names/ express their feelings/ declare their love for each other on public monuments. It looks so silly and pathetic, no?

Anyway, here´s a close-up of my dress/skirt and knitted top:


Where: El Parque Garaio, a few kms. from Vitoria

Wearing:
knitted top- Mango ( new, from the summer sales ;) )
skirt/dress- thrifted ( yey!)
necklace- Misako (from the the summer sales 2009)
leather bag- Zara ( thrifted)
cuff- Sfera, local stall

Enjoy your Friday( it´s a fly day!) and your weekend too! Ciao! :)

Hugs,

Che

I love the dress with itsdesignsor appliques and unsual hemline, but your sweet pink sweater made all the difference. Yes, your colorful beaded necklace works well for this outfit. Wish I was a the beach with you...we're frying here in New York City. Smiles.

I like asymmetry on clothes a lot! It's interesting because on people's faces and bodies, symmetry is beautiful. I like just the opposite on clothes! That dress is nice!
