WALK INTO FALL

For sure this is the first official fall outfit. But it still is hot in Madrid so the consequence is that I incorporate autunmal colors in light fabrics. This floral print midi dress with round neckline and gathered detail from Zara is awerome. It features long sleeves with elastic cuffs, elastic waistline, buttoned opening in…

FLORAL PINK SATIN COORDINATES

Matching sets or coordinates are meant to be used in different ways as they are synonims of versatility. At the beginning they were meant to be worn together but you can create with them multiple outfits. That is why I included the pink dress and its matching kimono in my capsule wardrobe. The set is…

COAT DRESS OR SIMPLY A TRENCH?

Second pink outfit is a trench according to Modcloth, the American retailer where I purchased it. However, in my opinion it is too light to be a trench. I purchased it at the end of the sales so the price was worth to be paid but its full price was really expensive because of the…

PINKISH SEPTEMBER: DAINTY SEQUINED DRESS

To start the series of pink and rose outfits which will be in my September capsule wardrobe I present a dress which I got last Spring from ASOS and which I had in the blog in other post with a coat but today by itself you could see how dainty is it. It is sleeveless…

ANOTHER SUMMERY DRESS

My love flowers and floral prints is so obvious that today I only will say that my favourite flowers are red field poppies and it is difficult to find prints with them. Instead, I love all kind of red floral designs so this was the reason I got this dress. I purchased it last Christmas…

And I got this wonderful white lace…

PALM LEAVES

Madrid is hot as hell. Yes, we are experiencing a heat wave or something similar but temperatures are about 39ºC which corresponds to 109º Fahrenheit. And well. you can be at home, but not all day, then,when you go out, you need something as light as feather to wear. I was so desperate that I…

FLORAL PINKISH

Bold prints are not made for me… There are some exceptions but, generally, I hate bold things. This time last year, I was looking for a floral dress which could fit in my pink capsule wardrobe. Everything was too big and too exaggerated… I was devastated but one of my friends told me that international…

WELCOME TO THE SUMMER : A MONTHLY RECAP

June is almost over and holiday season starts with lots of outdoor activities and a more relaxed schedule – at least for teachers. This month has been one of the hottest Junes in my life and full of exams, corrections and report cards… After the storm comes the calm with more casual outfits. As usual…

Florals will be in blossom this summer. You can find them everywhere : on pants, skirts, dresses, and more. The best option is to look for bouquets in bold and bright colors, or in watercolor pastels, It is also very trendy to mix floral prints with stripes in the same color family. But this is…
