2010 Dressing Up For Me in Review

This has been remarkable year for me when it comes to dressing up because I started wearing things out my comfort zone. From wearing the usual 2-solid colors:

and preppy:


My year evolved into something else abeit subtly. I started following trends:


I did the blazer-biege spring color, the military look, the double denim and lace combo and have actually bought a skirt with studs on it.







I also experimented with vivid prints and colors and tried the mix-prints look for once. ;) Animal prints didn´t escape me, though I did leopard last 2009. ;)



See post  here:


Then I wore a scarf as an accessory. I love collecting scarves but I rarely wear them. hehe

I was also high on floral skirts ( which can be paired with different solid colored tops), a green tiered skirt ( so not me) and a gingham skirt ( which I wouldn´t dare wearing- hello, school uniforms and table cloth! but I did anyway ).

I finally wore a hat while I was out early summer and it was a lot cooler and chic than going bareheaded:


Wore slashed shorts ( age inappropriate):


which I promptly paired with stripes and purple tights when the weather became cooler. hehe


Getting a bit more daring, I started buying skull accessories and a top and had the guts to wear a skull necklace with plaids! Eeeek!

To top it all, I allowed myself to buy and actually wear a leather skirt and pair it with a sequin clutch. ;)


A lot of new things happened to me this year. We moved to a new flat which we can finally call as our own, I failed in something but I learned the lesson that went with it and I got to see new places here in Spain. Then I also got to visit Lisbon and had a road trip to the other parts of Portugal like Viseu, Coimbra and Porto and finally my dream to visit Paris, visit Le Louve and taste Ladurée´s macaroons came true last spring!  So was 2010 a good year? Yes, sireeee! It´s going to be one of my most memorable years ever! :)


What about you? How´s 2010 for you? It may be the best, may be not. Don´t worry, I´m sure 2011 will bring us lots of pleasant surprises and things to hope for. We´ll just have stay positive all the way! :)

Once again, Happy New Year to all!

Hugs, pats and kisses,

Che

PS: In case you´re wondering, I´m a very casual dresser. Now that would really need a serious change. ;)

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...

Skirting the Issue

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 ...

Nautical and Taupe

Hello, I´m still here! I know it´s been four days since my last post. ;) Real life´s been hectic lately and so I had to let go of  my blog life for a couple of days to attend to some urgent personal  matters. Anywa yz ,I´m back and wearing stripes! Since stripes looks good with sea, I´m sharing two photo snippets of Biarritz´s beaches in between my outfit photos. While almost everyone usually pair blue stripes with red or white I went for something different like taupe. Taupe is my new gray and I´m loving it! You should try it too. :) So why beach photos of Biarritz? It has one of the best beaches on this side of the world, it´s in France ( in the south actually)  and the place is chic ¨super magnified¨ !  As to my outfit, I´m finishing the look with a blush colored leather jacket and then I´m off for my afternoon walk later. I hope this looks chic enough. ;) ( top - Zara, pants - Pimkie, leather jacket - thrifted, flats, clutch - local...
