Monday Remix: Chambray Summer

Hello, all!

Just got back last night from our first summer getaway for the month, hence, the blog silence(sowie for not tellin´ you..)  and it was sooo hot during the whole trip! I brought two shirt dresses  and one of these is this chambray shirt dress thinking that it would be breezy but I was still sweating all over. Do you know that icky feeling when your inner thighs are sweating and rubbing each other? I swear I was walking like a duck most of the time under the 33ºC heat, hahaha! This dress was a lot comfortable though than say a pair of jeans but I´d wear my denim cutoffs the next time we´re visiting some sites and climbing small hills. ;)

Anyway, since this is a remix post, I paired my shirt dress with a paper straw hat, changed to my ever reliable and foldable le Pliage Longchamp bag from the usual clutch bag, added a pair of brown and pink colored sandals and also a colored jeweled bracelet for more color aside from blue. It´s a subtle remixing of accesories but it changed the whole look to this:

So how do you remix a chambray shirt dress? Have fun doing it!

Love the casual vibe of the shirt dress. And its versatility. It's awesome either way.

It's been pretty hot in the Philippines now a days, even though it is considered rainy na! I love the dress so comfy, I think I wore one in my Tagaytay trip. I miss visiting your blog love. It's nice to be back again. Take Care!

Always,
Sweet

What a cute chambray shirtdress. I am looking for one just like it. You look polished and put-together while still being so comfy!

Your chambray shirtdress is styled to perfection here. I just adore the color on the sandals too.
Thanks for linking up to "Bloggers WHo Have Inspired Me" this past Tuesday.

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 ...
