Dressing Up For Me

Today´s weather feels like what we´re having every Sunday. Cold, windy and rainy. This was Sunday´s outfit but the whole look is basically what I´m wearing these past days. So boring, no? Maybe I can experiment more on layering later. Today´s not just the time because... I just had a serious ¨appointment¨  with my pretty dentist this morning and I still feel weak to dress up and ¨prettify¨ myself. My gums are also sore aside from my wallet. hahaha! Anyway, I´m leaving you with a beautiful photo of  a rainbow which we saw on the highway while traveling last Sunday. While I was young, somebody used to tell me that if you see a rainbow, it´ll stop raining and I  did believe it because whenever I saw one during those days it´ll stop raining and the sun always came out to shine brightly. This time, it didn´t work. After taking that picture, it rained so hard. hehe! Well, looks like my rainbow theory failed and we both know how rainbow...

Some truth. At my age, I still watch Glee. I don´t care much about the story but I love the music.While  watching Season 2´s episode 13  my eye zoomed towards Rachel Berry´s plaid skirt while singing a duet with Mercedes Jones.Then I realized that the skirt looks familiar. Betchagollywow , she´s wearing my skirt! The first time I wore mine was with a blue turtleneck and a vest coz you know,  the bulge. It´s a high waisted skirt . But Rachel wore it tucked in and with red tights which was really cool! Ssshh, red tights are a HIT these days. G ood thing I started wearing mine since Feb 14 . ;) Then my second time with the skirt was still with something blue and gray and with matching gray tights. So unoriginal, no? So I told myself this time, why not wear this skirt a la Rachel Berry?  You know, black knitted top and red tights. ;) Oh and I added some bling because Rachel might call me a copycat although ...

Hi, everyone! The other day, we decided to visit one of the many parks here in my city and did a little paseo . This is not a perfect getup to walk alongside thick bushes but I´m kinda missing this skirt which I last wore here and so there she goes. ;) Like most natural parks, the trails were unpaved and a bit rocky and so I wore my short studded boots. Unfortunately, it rained two days before and so there was a lot of mud halfway through the walk and my boots got stuck.The practical side in me went back and asked the hubz to continue walking along the dirt road so that he can leave me in peace while taking my outfit photos. hahaha! These photos were taken just before twilight, got lucky to have enough light to show the blue sky too. Today, it was a sunny day. Too bad I overslept in my siesta , I could have gotten back in there, wore my walking shoes and finished one of the trails. Well, mayb...

If you´re small like me, one of the ways to be noticed is to wear a bold pattern and lots of colors. That´s what I always do. A little leather helps too. ;) Don´t be afraid to wear brown under black, just be sure that you have a delightfully colorful top to compensate for the bland colors that you´re wearing at the bottom. A skirt with a wide waistband is also perfect to hide your middle flaw. You know what I mean. ;) Wearing: top - Vero Moda skirt - New Yorker bangles - Sfera and Promod Who am I kidding? I´m not really an expert on fashion and other styling tips. I just wear what I want but it does help to experiment once in a while, no? ;) Have a lovely week, dahlings ! :) Che

Halooo! So how´s your weekend going? Yesterday, we decided to take a trip to the French countryside despite the day being rainy and cloudy as a belated V-day date. We went up to St. Jean Pied de Port and bought my favorite macarons. There wasn´t a lot going on at the streets and so... I only get to photograph the macaron store and the cute little black dog who was wandering around. This was what I wore: V-neck sweater - Mango A spur of the moment outfit. I was thinking of the floral tights first and the rest followed. Not something perfect and well thought of   but the lace up boots was comfortable and so that´s okay for me. tights - Blanco, boots - New Yorker  The only clear picture that was taken of my gray denim jacket but still blurred. lol! Just so you´d know, I did saw some colors in the French countryside. It wasn´t all dreary and grey all the time, there were also green and reddish brown once in a while. ;) Going back ...

Wearing maxi skirts is becoming one of the biggest trends this season. It´s time to shop one from my own closet. ;) So this is me trying to dress up myself for spring. You see, that´s how desperate I am for spring to knock at my door even if technically it´s still winter outside. This is my maxi aka boho skirt--> see p r i n t . One of the only two maxi- boho skirts that I ´ve got and one of my best thrift buys. Just between you and me, I was shivering when I took these photos. hahaha!  Which means, I´d probably be wearing a turtleneck, some tights and black booties with this skirt when I go out later. But this would be a cool getup for spring and then much later in summer, no? Wat d´yah tink? ;) So are you up for the maxi skirt trend? It can be quite tricky wearing one especially if you´re vertically challenged like me but hey, there´s no harm in trying! :) Updated to add : Laura of Artfully Artista   from th...

So how was everyone´s Valentines Day? ;) We had a large dinner and I ate too much rice as usual . I´m back to my herbivore diet with smoked salmon bits for protein and omega-3 and I don´t know how long this diet will last. Either today or tomorrow, we´ll see.  hahaha! When you´re in that age where your body can´t stop growing sideways, you´ll have to watch  what you eat most of the time. Okay fine, so I had a choco roll  for dessert too, does that count? Segue to the next topic, I found this quilted skirt while visiting my old thrift shop. It´s made of wool and although I have stopped buying anything brown because 40% of my wardrobe consist of that color , I just can´t stop myself from buying this quirky little piece. Here´s what it looks like when my top´s tucked out and belted: Looks like I´d go for the 1st look more. When belted, I can´t see my waistline. hehe! So when you´ll see quilted skirts becoming trendy...
