WARM GRAY (V)

Contrary to what many people think, plus sized women sometimes look better in fitted styles than in looser ones. And knitted dresses are easy to wear and to style but you have to choose well the one that fits your body shape. To balance my pear shape, I looked for a fitted skirt, but it shouldn’t be too tight so when…

FLORAL GREYISH BLUE BODYCON (IV)

For today a cute short-sleeved bodycon dress, something simple that a woman should have in her closet.  This type of dress indulges and flatters all types of bodies.  The greyish blue base of this dress contrasts with the off – white and lilac flower pattern. The floral pattern makes this dress elegant and hugs curves…

DA DARKEST GREY SO FAR (III)

Before resuming school, I always have to shop for school supplies. Every year I spend sometime  looking for colored pencils, erasers, sharpenners and glue sticks. When it is time to go for these supplies, I opt for casual outfits like the one I am presenting  today. So far the darkest grey in the challenge. For…

TRICKY GRAY OUTFIT (II)

Yesterday I mentioned I have a challenge on the go, but to complete it sometimes I have to play dirty. And today the grey is in the accesories and not in the clothes. I hope you will accept this in good faith as I promise not to abuse on tricks like this. After explaining the…

People do not like grey as it is considered impersonal and dull.  Grey is a cool and neutral color therefore  it is so versatile that you can mix it with different tones of the same colour spectrum or making cute contrasts. Grey creates unlimited posibilities as the multiple shades and tints…

HOLIDAY REMIX

Summer holiday outfits Hi again it is almost mid-august and it seems as summer is over because all the shops have the new season´s trends and the sales just occupy the dark corners. And, of course, my two months’ holiday are about to end. Well, no I still have a fortnight. So far I spent…

LADY MAGENTA

Summer is all about rich colors. Shades in purple, violet, pink and rose complement my skin tone so I tend to collect lots of pieces in them. Today the weather is a bit cooler so I decided to wear my magenta dress.  It is an Adolfo Domiguez´s design and I got it two seasons ago for a…

NOT WITHOUT MY KIMONO

Kimonos are traditional Japanese garments which have been on trend for the last two seasons. However, the kimono jackets we buy do not look like Japanese kimonos. Kimonos are easy throw pieces, light and airy in summer and layering pieces in the fall. You can find them in all patterns and colors and can be…
