Floral and Pleated

Finally, I´m wearing a flowy skirt in the blog and not jeans for a change. ;) This is a very old floral and pleated skirt which I usually wear during summer. Last year ( or was that 2 years ago) when bubble skirts were still in, I decided to hem this a bit for a shorter bubble-like skirt but I wasn´t  really able do it.


Like all my sewing projects, it just laid there gathering dust. So I removed all the pins, wore it higher than usual, put on a belt et voila!


So what do you think? ;)

top and belt- H&M

Is everybody ready for spring in this side of the world? We´re having sunny and mildly warm afternoons in here but in the morning it looks like this:


I´m not kidding. It looks like a set from a horror movie, no? hehe  But today was different, I woke up with the sun shining brightly on our terrace. Looks like it´s going to be a beautiful day ahead as predicted! Makes me want to go out to take a walk. ;)

Enjoy your Sunday, dahlings! :)

Kisses,

Che

I'm loving pleats this season. I can't wait to start wearing them in the spring.
Ahh, the weather here is miserable as well.

the whole outfit looks perfect on you :). I'm not really into flowery prints but I guess, after I read your post.... bumili ako :). We still have lots of snow and since we're living close to water, our sunrise and sunsets are amazing. I'm longing for spring!

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 ...
