Army chic

Today I want to show off an outfit played with black and military green hues which are a goos frame for an olive skin.

Garments shapes are wide, confy, extremely street: a wide V neckline top with glossy tone-on-tone lettering prints, in a soft cotton jersey, and a pair of fluid wide leg trousers, with washed silk effect (but it isn't silk) taken at the bottom with elastic, I resumed from samples not gone in production of the company where I worked.

Killer heels are a must with such a confy silhouette: otherwise I would seem like a huge garbage bag :)

So, I preferred black platform sandals with a high cone heel wrapping feet with a bondage effect which is the real difference on an outfit like this!

Accessories and details: a few, essentials, geometric and minimized, focusing on gold and bright colours.

What do you think about?

Oggi vi propongo un outfit giocato sul binomio nero - verde militare che si accompagna bene alla pelle olivastra...

Re-use in new ways what you already own

A few days ago a group of friends asked me how I can change my outfit so often and find every day something new to wear: they thought I had an unlimited wallet... Well, I haven't. Indeed, I assure you that by working like everyone else and paying a mortgage, several bills, and car payments it's not easy and I often give up the shopping!

Sometimes people stop me in the street and ask me where I did buy that or this, or congratulate with me for my way to dress up. My friends consult me before buying something...

These observations and people let the idea of starting a blog rise in me: if I have something catching people ( which every people can recreate by themselves because I haven't got  an unlimited bank account ), well why not to make it availaible to others?

This blog doesn't illustrate red-carpet outfits or fab expensive bags: I trust in style due to your style and personality, not to your bank account! I've seen bloggers wearing their Birkin Hermes in an horrible way... Oh my God!

I like to throw anything away, unless it's decomposing! :) I love recycling, renovating, reusing, rematching old garments with new ones... A huge wardrobe is build guessed-purchase by guessed-purchase.

In short: I give you ideas, suggestions, sometimes a few tips: and you... copy, let be inspired!!

About my outfit today, I was searching a new way to match this skirt I purchased 5 years ago and I've found that by matching this old top and completing the outfit with a few accessories that reflect the colours of the top: a flower among my curls, a coloured bracelet, shoes in tone...

Collar is due to the kind of top's neckline and to the richness of decorations: so it's linear and close to neck.

What do you think about? Do you like the result? My boyfriend (who has picky) liked it...

Qualche giorno fa un gruppo di amiche mi ha chiesto come faccio a cambiarmi così spesso di outfit e a trovare sempre qualcosa di nuovo da mettere: pensavano che avessi un portafogli infinito... Beh, purtroppo non ce l'ho! Anzi, vi assicuro che lavorando come fanno tutti e pagando un mutuo, delle bollette e le rate della macchina non è facile e le rinunce sono tante!
