WIWW: Gingham and Fuchsia

Hello, everyone!
20140105_134235

My first official outfit photo for 2014 taken on cold, windy and rainy Sunday. I excavated this gingham skirt and a fuchsia thick turtleneck from the war zone which is my closet and yes, I think I´ll be needing a winter cleaning soon instead of the usual spring cleaning, hehe. ;)

I only have a few turtleneck sweaters because I hate that choking sensation when wearing it but it really is a great neck cover when I don´t feel like wearing a thick scarf. You know me, the less fuss in dressing up, the better it is for my life! Finishing the whole look with my first pea coat in black. Don´t you know that I have this for almost seven years already? Yeah, it´s old and I just can´t seem to part with it. :)

I hope you´re warm on your side of the world. Keep EXTRA WARM especially those affected by the freaky Arctic polar vortex.

Happy Wednesday!

xoxo,

 Che

I love the bright color of that shirt! I have a love/hate relationship with turtlenecks too - they are so warm but sometimes they can make you feel like you are choking!

I love so many aspects of this look. The print of the skirt is one of my favourites. I also adore pink and glitter/sparkle.

I'm a huge fan of pink and black together so I love this outfit! The skirt is so cute and I really like your coat too! I can't stand wearing turtlenecks (totally get the choking thing), but I always like how they look on other people.

I used to hate turtlenecks of any kind, but since my late teens I wear them roughly 60% of the time in the cold months.

You look great in your's :)

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 ...
