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 :) ).

finally I managed to take some quick outfit shots, it's been really hectic lately, both @ home and @ work...we're repainting/redecorating one of our rooms, preparing for the kid, leaving everything figured out at work before the loooong maternity leave, etc...

please excuse the crappy photos (I really don't look this sick:))) ), they are taken with a small video cam in the unhealthy neon light from work, so...:D:D

Dress: Marius Musat
Cardigan: See by Chloe'
Boots: Burberry
Earrings: Debenhams, gift from my bf (I can't get around to calling him 'husband' just yet :)) )
Einstein toy: snatched from a coworker for this shoot:D















And speaking of Einstein, Ari Seth Cohen from Advanced Style ( one of my top 5 fashion-related blogs to watch) just posted today about this Einstein looking man one of his collaborators photographed:
I love this simple yet exquisite color combo...

surprised enough:D:D?

soooo...this is what I've been "cooking" lately...I and my bf are 5 months pregnant :D:D:D...<>

(carl, if you're reading this...don't faint just yet :P )


everybody's been assuring us that we'll be hip parents (//blush), so I have to also live up to these expectations fashion-wise :D, but it's up to you to decide on whether I pull this off graciously or not;) . the process is significantly encumbered by the fact that pregnancy clothing shops in Bucharest (and obviously Romania) are quite defective of statement items. all I could find is clothing for +50 , lacking imagination expecting housewives . I don't want anybody who has actually bought such items to feel offended in any way, it's excusable since there's barely anything to choose from . I just won't spend a dime on any of these products. furthermore, maternity clothing here is way more expensive than the online counterpart. hence, i decided to make do with what I already own ( I'm lucky that I have a lot of loose fitting garments) , and make whatever more I need myself...there's something ongoing in this direction, but I will reveal it once it is ready :D.

I'm following up on this post with several outfit versions; I was forced to rummage my wardrobe since the baby is quite expansive :D:D, and doesn't really agree to part of my clothes' sizes :D:D:D. I have so many items I'm going to miss till next year, but I did rediscover some forgotten ones....oh, well, that's that :D
