Reborn

More than a month without posting. And there is no crisis without a later renovation, no rebirth without a previous struggle.
It's true that I'm a bit stressed, I hardly find time for even just reading blogs, but in fact that's how I always am. I've been thinking about this and I believe the difference lays in the motivation.
I've already reached the goals I set for myself at the beginning of this blog - now I wear a style I like and mix and match more than two colors without fear. It's time for new goals. So...
New goals:

• My body isn't general, it has a specific shape and length, some flaws and some strong points. I inted to find out what suits me best and worst, and do not choose pieces that I like but are unflattering for me.
• I have a feeling that my wardrobe is a bit messy. I need to build a good basic wardrobe with just a few additional season clothes.

So that will be the agenda for the blog in the near future. Wish me luck in the search! :)

Working saturday

Yesterday I had to go to work... Exams on saturday should be forbidden.

New trends

I've been intentionally skipping the "New collection" section in every shop since the sales began, as I can't stand looking at warm clothes when it's 35ºC at least outside, no matter how cold the air conditioner is configured... That's taken me to a feeling of disorientation lately, as I'm becoming aware that autumn is approaching (not that temperatures have dropped, it's just that I'm preparing the new year courses) and I can't figure out what's the current trend.

That's why I bought some fashion magazine this morning, and have been flicking through it during mealtime. I don't like studs, my body doesn't allow much volume, neither skinnies... that leaves me with some harem pants, whatever skirt I like and bold colours. I'm not a slave to trendiness, so that's enough for me :)

What are your thoughts on the new trends?

And now, what I promised: more black and blue (but not so dark):

The shoes were giving me a lot of pain until the day I decided I wouldn't wear them anymore... strange!

Nice weekend to all of you! :)

Changing my mind

Black and dark blue is a colour combination that I'd never dare to make a few years ago... Now I'm quite fond of it and lately I wear it a lot! As proof, what I wore some day last week:

It's a pity I didn't take a picture of the brooch, it hardly appears on the above one and it's a cute craft from my mum... Anyway, expect more black and blue soon ;)

Airy ~~~

Last spring I was longing for true heat and now I'm regretting such wish, this summer is being so hot that I nearly melt when I come back home in the afternoons!

Anyway, great weather for airy dresses like this one:

Now, time for some work in this lovely air-conditioned room... ;)

Back to work :S

Today was the day... I wasn't unwilling to go back to work, but the fact of being the only one was discouraging :(

What's more, the effort of putting together an outfit after a night of bad sleep seems worthless. I'm happy I could share it with my dear family afterwards, and now with you!

Let's see who is also back tomorrow...

Busy busy busy

I thought that during my vacation I'd be able to post and visit blogs fluently, but you see...

(Calvin and Hobbes stripe by great Bill Watterson, click to enlarge!)

... I'm too busy!! Happy summer to all of you :D

Too late!

Today it was a little late and consequently dark, but I wanted to take a picture of the outfit because I haven't presented my new white linen trousers yet.

But you'll have to wait a bit more for a better introduction... Good night!

Casual day

Yesterday night I had a dinner with friends from work. I arrived home at 2:00 a.m. (and I was the first to go home)... Today was a hard day.

Okay, it's not my best picture, as it's not my best outfit either... but today I took a detail picture of the shirt in compensation:

Isn't it cute??

Now I have to rest, tomorrow I'll go to the campsite early to start the weekend with the hike. See you next week, have a nice weekend!

Blue

Today I was feeling blue... My boyfriend has parted to a children summer camp and I won't see him for a fortnight.

But you know, blue is also my favourite colour :) And maybe I can scape for the weekend to pay him a visit!

I can't wait for the weekend :)

PS: I've just realised I'm wearing blue and white again... This is blue+white week, I guess!

Back to reality

I've spent a lovely weekend in a surprise trip to Valencia. Awesome architecture, great beach and interesting museums (and lots of good food, too!). But the best part was my ever sweet boyfriend :)

Going back to reality was hard today. But this white skirt brightened up my day!

Like Flor

Though unintentional, I think today I was looking a bit like character Flor from the film Spanglish. I don't like her styling much, so I wasn't thrilled with my outfit... But it was practical for being at my office, though!

So that you can tell for yourself:

Taken from www.bsospirit.com

As you can see from the first picture, I kept the shoes. It's my summer shoes curse I guess, not to find what I want...

Help!

I've been searching and searching for a new pair of shoes. I want them mid-heeled, but all heels I've found are very high or otherwise look like mature lady shoes. At last I've found these:

They're OK in the sense that they're sandals, mid-heeled and incredibly comfy. They're not OK in the sense that they're not what I was searching for in colour and shape.

The question is, should I keep them?? What do you think?? Please help me decide!

Lovely

Hello, lovely weather!:)

The last days have been adorable, not too hot, not too windy... However, this afternoon wasn't hot enough to go to the swimming pool, so here I am posting what I wore this morning for going to church:

I love, love, love this dress. I'm afraid the picture doesn't show all its glorious perfection... Apart from being black and being floral, it's fine for all occasions and makes you look so pretty, that everyone compliments you all the time. As I said, perfection made dress.

Well, now there's just one thing missing -- holidays!

Want boots?

You don't mind the hot weather and want to wear a new pair of boots anyway?
You live in the South Hemisphere and need new heating for your feet?
Then you may want to use a $30 USD (£19 GBP) discount ticket to spend on www.whoogaboots.co.uk. Just enter the code EVERYDAYQU into the box in the cart. There are no conditions on it and they ship to all countries.

Nautical

Some days ago, a friend of mine presented her final work to get her engineering degree. This is what I wore to join and support her during the presentation, the later drinks and the even later Italian food:

I had a nautical feeling... Would it be because of the stripped tee or the knee-length trousers? ARRR! ;)

Perfect match

Namely, this:

Back in march, I bought some tights of other colours, and some time later, a cute pair of grey flats. When they met at home, it was love at first sight!
So I didn't wait long to wear the lovely same-colour tights+shoes combo:

I totally love summer, but I miss wearing tights :)

I'm back!

At last!

I've been through so much work that I didn't find the time or even the wish to post anything... And actually, there wasn't much of interest to be shown, as the stress didn't allow for much creativity!

While I'm still managing to bring my sense of style back, this is what I've been wearing all day. You can note in my pose how tired and hot I was after wandering all the evening long from shop to shop in the heat of these days!

This outfit gained me lots of compliments today :) I think it's because of the black color near my face, I'm so pale it flatters me a lot.

I've tried to keep reading blogs, but I hope I'll finally catch up with it within this month... See you in the comments, then!

Purified

I've been sick for some days. At first I was so weak I just slept for a whole day. Then I could only sit next to the balcony and look and hear. I knew I was fine again when I could enjoy Bride and Prejudice.

Though being sick is not funny at all, it did a lot of good to me: it provided me with time to pause, rest and free my mind of everything. Also time for being at home and receiving hugs and attention from my family. I wish I was sick every once in a while...

This is what I was wearing the day it all started (sorry for the poor pic again :S)

The turtleneck is light green and the pullover is brown, like the tights, though the light has played a bit with the colours and they seem different.

Counteracting

A pair of shoes that hurts must be counteracted with very comfy clothes. The best part of the outfit is the skirt, which is indeed not a skirt, but trousers, and so wide and soft that you can sleep in it ;)

Again, you have to imagine the upper part of the outfit... It is a simple white cotton shirt. Ahh... I love the basics :)
