Mixing Prints(Dots and Stripes)

Today, I decided to debut my obi belt.  I had a hard time perfecting the bow at the front and so I just twirled it around the lazy way. hahaha! An obi belt can really do wonder to an outfit (Suddenly, I have a waist!) and can be the perfect accent too. Now, why didn´t I think of that before?

P1160355

Just in case you´re wundrin´, yep, the front of my pleated skirt is uneven, a factory defect and that´s why it was on sale. Nevertheless, I snapped it up because I  kinda love this asymmetrical style  that is quite different from all the asymmetrical skirts out there. Who knows, this could be the next trend this season. Uneven front, anyone? ;)

I opted to wear  a pair of champagne colored pearls for my ears and a multi-colored strand on my neck for that classic look:

Then a small black and white purse which I didn´t know that I had(since summer of 2011!) when I was looking for  the dotted skirt. :)

Oh well, so this is it, the dotted and stripes combo tied together by my first obi belt. I´m linking up with Marion´s Trend of the Month Challenge (my first time!). Go and check out what the other bloggers are wearing! :)

Your pictures are so pretty! I really like everything about this outfit (even the uneven hem that I would never have noticed if you hadn't pointed it out!) Stripes and polka dots were just meant to go together.

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 ...
