Sunday outfit

I wore this because I am headed to my parents' for lunch, and I wanted to ask mom whether she thought this top could be appropriate for work. She's pretty blunt, so I am not worried she is not gonna tell me what she really thinks. Here is the outfit:


Shirt - Promod
Top (under the shirt) - Tezenis
Jeans - Killah
Shoes - Nike
Necklace - Target

I'd wear the shirt this way to go to work. It is sheer, but I have a black top underneath. If anything, I think it's a tad too elegant, but I think the baggy jeans and sneakers tame it down... Work environment is really casual, so I am not concerned about wearing baggy jeans there - besides, I wear a lab coat all day except than to go to lunch.

Here is with the jacket:


Jacket - Benetton
Scarf - Thrift store in Toronto's Kensington Market

Deatil of the scarf:


What do you think - can I wear this outfit to work?

I love the flowers on the scarf!

Honestly I do think it's a little too elegant for work. There are so many pretty details that I think it would be hard to dress it down even with baggy jeans :(

What a beautiful top. I must agree though that it might be too pretty for work. I love the detail in the scarf. So pretty...

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!
