The advantage(s) of blogging

I think it can be a register, a memory. I look back in time and it makes me remember of what my life was like some years ago.
More than that, what I noticed is that posting my outfits makes me pay more attention to what I wear - and, consequently, makes me more stylish and original. Now, not blogging for some months, I realise that I do have to improve on that. I used to have better ideas. Cheers.

Not organised yet, but...

coming to say hi.

Hi!

I'm going to wear a red belt with this dress the next time.


Dress: H&M. All the rest: don't remember :-(

My second time buying at She Inside

So I finally got to wear this dress I got from She Inside that I had loved so much on the website. It's super nice in person as well, but I could've ordered a medium instead of a large (decided to go for the large because a couple of girls had mentioned it ran small). I paired it with leggings, over-the-knee boots (yes, by Ardene!), a necklace with an Eiffel Tower charm and a handbag (Guess).

It's the second time I bought something from She Inside, and I think it works pretty well. I didn't like to buy clothes online, but I haven't been disappointed so far. Do you have any experiences to share? It's always good to know what works and what doesn't.

I know those aren't the best pictures in the universe, but I am not a professional photographer.

Happy Friday, everyone!


P.S. Some time later, I did get rid of this dress. The sizing wasn't appropriate. It was, at the same time, too petite and too large, if you know what I mean. The arms were too short and it made me feel fat, not only because I might've been fat (LOL), but also because of the size and the ruffles. I loved it when I got it, wore it enough times to justify the amount of money I spent on it, and donated it. I hope the person who got it is enjoying the dress more than my packed closet was.

Another old, old dress...

Whenever I wear this dress, I feel kinda fat, but people seem to like it (maybe people like to see me fat; go figure!). For this reason, I stopped wearing it for a while. It has resuscitated from my closet in the last few years, though, and I choose it as a part of my daily look about once a month.

What about you? Do you keep old clothes in your closet, or get rid of them? And how often do you repeat the same outfits?

 

Thank you for visiting!

It's an old, old dress

Did you like it? Well, I myself am not sure. It's a pretty comfortable dress, but it sometimes makes me feel old and fat. OMG, I should get rid of something that makes me feel old and fat. I'll try it one more time, maybe...
This morning I actually wore it with a pair of brown boots. But they are too dirty to photograph. I was thinking... I like to photograph what I actually wear. It helps me when I don't know what to wear, or when a new season comes and I don't remember my clothes *grin*. This blog helps me get some inspiration... from myself. I hope it can help someone else out there, too.

Thank you for visiting!

When we don't feel like it...

Considering we're in Januay, today was a pretty warm day in Toronto: the temperatures reached 12ºC! I have to confess I was feeling lazy and didn't feel like going out, but I had to. It's like the world is calling and you may regret it if you stay at home. Needless to say I was not inspired to choose an outfit, so I picked a black dress, black boots, a brown cardigan... but I felt I needed something happier and brighter: why not a scarf? Well, I'm not the most stylish woman in the planet but it turned out ok. I was also wearing a Fedora hat, but ended up putting it away due to the wind.

The picture was not taken for the blog... it's just a place I like and wanted to register - on Yonge, south of Eglinton (for the ones who are familiar with Toronto).

More of (almost) the same

 

I don't usually do this, but when I bought last post's dress, I bought a similar one as well (with a different pattern). Just because I loved it and paid such a good price on it (20 bucks; what do you think?).

I'm wearing a brown jacket and a dark pashmina scarf, too. I acknowledge the fact that it's hard to identify the colours :(

Red is my favorite colour

Gray is my favorite color/ I felt so symbolic yesterday/ If I knew Picasso, I would buy myself a gray guitar and play

OMG. I don't have an iPhone. I'll never be part of a fashion bloggers' team if I don't have an iPhone. Listen, I don't even have a smartphone. Am I lost in this world?

I've been thinking of getting an iPhone, but what really bothers me is the monthly contract, though. I don't wanna be attached to a long-term monthly plan I don't need (I currently spend less than 10 dollars a month on cell phone bills), and instead of buying an iPhone, shouldn't I buy a good camera?

Daylight savings time

I wore this outfit to go grocery shopping at night.
The bag--bought in Montreal--says: "Qui pense peu se trompe beaucoup", by Da Vinci. I totally agree with his saying. Although I think we have to be spontaneous, I am all for planning ahead and examining the consequences of our actions.
