Colored skirt

 
Turtleneck - Tezenis
Cardigan - Lunatica
Skirt - Weekend by Max Mara
Tights - Tezenis
Boots - Manifattura Italiana
Necklace - Conbipel
Ear studs - Target

Today it was colored skirt day - and my choice was obvious since this is the only colored winter skirt I own. It's a nice, heavy wool, so I don't think I am going to be able to wear it for much longer. I bought it last year on sale, and it's one of the few designer pièces I own. There is a store in my town which sells designers clothes, coats and accessories, and I can't wait for their sales every winter. At first sales are 30% off, top, after a couple of weeks they become 50% off, and that's the time to look for bargains. This year I bought a skirt there too, but I haven't worn it yet. By the way, it's the same store where husband bought his wedding outfit, and it's nice to remember when we went to choose it.

This outfit doesn't excite me too much: it seems too severe, despite the colored skirt. I should have skipped the turtleneck, but I really had nothing to wear under the cardigan (shirts are in the washing or ironing pile!). I tried to lighten things up with this long necklace, but maybe I should have switched tights and used longer earring. 
Oh well. It's a decent outfit anyway!

I'm wearing a Max Mara wool skirt too today! Mine is a boring camel colour and I adore yours - it's a beautiful colour! I think if you had put it with a longer cardigan or added a belt to this one to break up the sharp line between top and skirt? I love this look anyway!

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!
