My Current Statement Piece

A statement piece is something that pops from your outfit. It could be an exotic/huge piece of jewelry, a gorgeous bag, a fabulous pair of shoes or it can be just as simple as an elegant looking scarf. This beautiful multicolored skirt is my current statement piece. I can wear it as a long skirt with a tank top ...



or I can rework it as a flowy tube dress with or without a tank top. Belted or beltless, the possibilities are endless if you´re creative and innovative. ;)


This is how the back of the dress looks like with a slim belt. You can use any colored belt or even a wide belt if you like, I´m just showing you a sample of my trying hard creation. hahaha!


I know a lot of you are more creative than me and so take it away and do your thing with any long skirt that you may have right now. In the meantime allow me to walk out of the room and strut my stuff outside. ;)


Ooops... and for the record, this skirt is thrifted! Don´t forget to show me a photo or leave me a link on your latest rework or outfit combination. I´d love to see them or I can show them here if you like. ;)

Happy weekend, dahlings! :)

I love it! Statment pieces are so much fun to wear, and I love how colourful your one is. My current statement piece is a pair of crazy heels.

OMG! You put a tiny white belt to that skirt and made a dress - and it looks amazing!! I absolutely love it. What a wonderful statement piece. And that you got it at a thrift store just makes it that much more special. Good share!

This statement piece has exclamation points all over it! Really nice!

Love the 2nd look! Not trying hard at all. Ingenious is how I'd put it, specially with the use of the white thin knotted belt! Love, love!

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 ...
