Dress your Best - Day three


 Shirt - Guess?
Skirt - Promod
Shoes - Geox
Necklace - Steph's mom
Bag (on the chair) - Kuvé


The third day of the Dress your Best challenge I am choosing my back! 
This shirt is the best to show it, since it has a deep opening in the back:



Again, I like it because it is so straight. May be a bit weak lately, which should push me to try to do some yoga or other exercises to put on some muscles!

Two words about this outfit. It is nothing new, as I wore it last year too, and more than once (minus the shoes, which are new). I love the black/white combination, plus some added color (in this case the red bag). It think it is a technique to have a very chic outfit, and on the long term it helps reduce the money spent on clothes: if everything is either black or white, everything goes with everything, and accessories have the task of adding a special touch of color.

I am far from this kind of discipline, but I'd love to get there anyway.

I love the theory of the black and white outfit, but I'm pretty sure I'd get bored of it quickly in practice. There are just somedays where light green, dark purple and a bright teal just make me so glad to be alive! Of course, black and white is certainly more chic!

Thanks for stopping by my blog!

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!
