R.I.P. Ronnie James Dio

featuring: lil' sis :D

My sister has entered an outfit competition on the same site that I won the Diana Bobar dress from (which reminds me...I yet have to shoot that dress and display it here on the blog-- I kind of did not fit into it, big-bellied and all--and I still have to send Diana the photos I take wearing it :D).
The competition has a very easily approachable theme: 'a day in the park'. If you like her outfit, you can cast your vote for her here.
Leaving aside the fact that she's my sis, objectively speaking I really think that hers is the best outfit of all the contestants :D:D. Check them out and let me know if yo agree;) :P.









She's wearing:
Black top: random
Checkered shirt: Stefanel
Skirt: Desigual (from Madrid)
Boots: Lee Cooper
Bag: United Colors of Benetton

Grey & Gold

I always considered this colour combo to be somewhat on the classy side, so I tried creating a youthful attire, by using the golden studs and the traditional pieces in this outfit (plus the ultra-non-classy jeans :D).








Composition:
Shirt: traditional, almost 40 years old, handmedown from my aunt
Vest: Strass Exclusive Brand(from Paris)- introduced here, also styled here and here
Jeans: H&M
Wedges: Miu Miu (from eBay)--my new favourite shoes:D
Bag: traditional
Sunnies: Solaris (from Paris)

Geometrics

This dress is a handmedown from grandma, and though my taste in fashion has evolved throughout the years, it is the one item in her wardrobe I've always fancied, ever since I was a kid. I guess it's because of the print. And the colours.
I have stacks of grandma skirts and dresses in my wardrobe,as exemplified here, here and here, and most of them need alterations, since they are too big for me. The same goes for this dress, but I've been putting this huge project on hold for various reasons, which turned out to be quite favourable. The size of this dress ended up being just right for my pregnant belly, and I've worn it a lot during this period. I'm glad I managed to shoot it eventually, it was my final blog-worthy outfit before giving birth (well, except for the one I wore when rushing to the hospital, but that doesn't count, it was something similar to this one , so it's already been posted :) ).
