Dress Your Best - Day 3

First, I would like to say that thanks to the Dress Your Best idea, I have come across so many inspiring blogs, I will never thank enough the chics. On some of them I left a comment, some of them just enjoyed looking at, but they are all from awesome girls! Oh, and... go check out this post - so well written...

Back to business.
The third feature I decided to highlight are my ankles. I don't like my legs very much, but my ankles are thin, so highlighting them makes me feel more slender. I have even a tattoo on one of them (not the one you can see in the picture!), which draws more attention there.
Here is today's outfit:


Shirt - Express
Jacket - Benetton
Skirt - Conbipel
Fishnet tights - Calzedonia
Shoes - Alesya
Necklace - friend's present, handmade
Scarf - Random store in Toronto.

Even though they have a t-strap, I think these shoes do a good job of highlighting my ankles. Plus, they are super comfy (I walked a lot in them, today!)

What a great idea to be a part of. A real 'take ownership' approach to how we see ourselves and wonderful way to force ourselves to see the beauty.
P.s.-I love a good T-Strap shoe! :)

Taking Stock

Image
  After a long hiatus, I decided to start writing again... I don't expect anyone to really be reading, but I just love so much going through my old entries, it's a sort of treasured diary. The image above was taken on April 25th (bank holiday here), during our bike ride at the Aqueducts park in Rome. Such a beautiful day! So much has changed since last time I wrote here, I don't know where to start. So I start by taking stock! Making:  eggplant pesto. As requested by my girl, who loved it last summer. I stopped doing it during the winter, as eggplant were not so good, but husband found some nice ones and as I write they are in the oven. Drinking : water and more water. The sparkling one, thanks! Watching : videos (youtube and instagram) on home and food organizing, fitness, and, of course, makeup. Love Love Love Johnny Ross ! Reading : Minimalism , by Gwyneth Snow. Will need to start applying the suggestions, though! Enjoying : working from home 3 days a week. Makes me even

BDIB - Arm Party!

Image
  This is my second time participating in the Bloggers Do it better series.  This time, the theme is " Arm Party ". And I am glad Kristina had this idea, because it pushed me to take out and wear my bangles...  I wore this outfit - it's an exact repetition, so I didn't take pictures.  And here is the arm Party! I bought the six striped bangles during my trip to Corsica, 20 years ago. They are six like the letters that compose my name.The brown one is from a store in Buffalo. The thin one is even older, it's about 25 years old! A classmate gave me a bunch of them (it was the 80's and Madonna was just starting to get famous) and I somehow managed to keep this one through the years. Now I want to start wearing all the other bangles I have, too!
