Anything Goes Monday: White Daisies

Today on Anything Goes Monday, let´s talk about this pretty little blue floral dress which I saw hanging in one of the sales racks last week:

P3200018

I thought that I finally found the perfect dress for my body type. It´s light, it´s neither too short nor long, it has short sleeves and it has white daisies printed on it which are cute. For me this would be the ultimate spring- summer dress. Up until that we´re okay until when I turned around and wondered why the bottom of the zipper was on the top of my right butt. It turned out that the invisible zipper was sewn misaligned at the back. Uh-oh!

P3200017

I really wanted this dress but not even wearing a mustard yellow cardigan over it could make me forget that I´m wearing a diagonal zipper at the back of my dress which isn´t part of the design! So after mulling over it for three days, I went back to the store and returned it. It´s no use keeping something very far from perfect even if it´s dirt cheap. Quality shouln´t be compromised, my darlings! :)

P3200021
cardigan- Zara, dress-Primark, bag and shoes- Blanco
At least I got to have a photo of how pretty that dress was on me. :) So would you compromise a quality defect on something just because it fits you well and it was so cheap? I´d love to hear your thoughts!

Love, love,

 Che

This dress was really adorable on you, but I agree. I would not keep it if I wasn't happy with the quality!

That dress is so pretty on you but how annoying that the zipper was sewn in wrong!

I think you have to go back and buy it again and have the zipper re-sewn because it's so darn cute on you!

Essa maravillosa!

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 ...
