This dress is really nice and really versatile. When I have to dress up a bit and I have no idea this dress is always handy - and warm at same time. It looks like lace but it's actually not, it's more a jacquard, but it's well done and it really looks like lace from the distance - but still without being a delicate lace, which is good if you want to wear this dress everyday without fears of catching the lace somewhere (something I do because I am clumsy). The only downside is that it's short sleeved, so it actually needs a cardigan, and the only meh thing is that lace panel on the front (actual lace, you can see it here) that I usual cover up since I found it's a bit too much on this dress - and I can't wear a belt with that front panel. At some point I am going to get it off, but I still love this dress as is, and I constantly reach it to wear it. I got it for the xmas holidays/new year's eve a couple of years back and since then it become an essential in my wardrobe. Tights, boots, cardi and I am ready to go!

Simple Lacey
This dress is really nice and really versatile. When I have to dress up a bit and I have no idea this dress is always handy - and warm at same time. It looks like lace but it's actually not, it's more a jacquard, but it's well done and it really looks like lace from the distance - but still without being a delicate lace, which is good if you want to wear this dress everyday without fears of catching the lace somewhere (something I do because I am clumsy). The only downside is that it's short sleeved, so it actually needs a cardigan, and the only meh thing is that lace panel on the front (actual lace, you can see it here) that I usual cover up since I found it's a bit too much on this dress - and I can't wear a belt with that front panel.

Il Rosso e il Nero
Cosa fare quando si ha voglia di maglione rosso e invece si ha a disposizione un cardigan? Lo si mette al contrario! Ed è quello che ho fatto qui, state proprio vedendo un cardigan.. al contrario. Perché sì, avevo proprio voglia di maglione rosso, quindi mi sono ingegnata un po'. Questo è un cardigan leggermente oversize (mi sa che avevo sbagliato taglia) che uso pochino proprio perché -beh- essendo larghetto mi fa un po' troppo anni 80, ma il colore mi piace tantissimo, è uno dei punti di rosso che mi piacciono di più, e quest'uso alternativo me lo fa apprezzare di nuovo! Il rosso alla fin fine è il colore che uso più volentieri quando ho -appunto- voglia di un tocco di colore.
What should a girl do when she wants to wear a red sweater but she only has a red cardi in her closet? Wearing it backwards of course! And that's what happened here, since I really wanted something red to go with the black dress, but I really didn't want to wear a cardi. This cardi is slightly oversized (I guess I sized up during the sales!) so I seldom use it since - well - it looks a bit too 80s that way, but then I really love its color, so I enjoy this alternative use of it! Red is infact the color I use most when I want a touch of color in my outfit.

Foxy Lady
Finalmente ho portato questa borsina con la volpe a fare un giro fuori, e influenzata dai colori dell'Autunno ho finito per indossare tutto in tinta con la volpe, anche una gonna arancio...
I finally brought this cute foxy bag out for a walk, and influenced by Fall colors I put on this orange vintage skirt as well, matchy match I'd say.

On a run
A couple of weeks back I had to slip off my bed and go to work* on a run! So what's better than something that resembles a pijama when you still want to cuddle in bed but you have to take off your pijama and run away? So, harem pants, that's it. Which also reminds me of bloomers, so I consider it even a bit vintage looking: bloomers were also called "turkish dress"and were an alternative dressing to the large skirts and corsets women used to wear in 19th century. Bloomers were also those underpants fastened below the knee that you can usually see on women until the start of the 20th century.
I think those pants are actually an updated version of the bloomers..
Di corsa! Post di corsa e outfit messo assieme di corsa. Una mattina di un paio di settimane fa son dovuta uscire dal letto e andare al lavoro* -appunto- di corsa! Quindi cosa c'è di meglio di qualcosa che ricordi un pigiama quando si vorrebbe rimanere accoccolati nel letto ma ci si deve alzare per forza? Pantaloni largoni o harem pants! che come forma ricordano anche un po' i bloomers o i mutandoni di una volta, quindi tradizionalmente pantaloni mediorientali ma anche un po' vintage, volendo: i bloomers, chiamati al tempo anche "pantaloni alla turca", si rifanno proprio alla praticità dei pantaloni portati anche dalle donne in India e medio oriente, e vennero proposti come alternativa alle gonne gigantesche e agli scomodi corsetti di metà Ottocento. Bloomers sono anche i mutandoni stretti sotto al ginocchio in auge ancora ai primi del Novecento, quelli che a volte si vedono spuntare dalle gonne delle donne del periodo.
Penso che questi pantaloni siano un po' la versione aggiornata dei bloomers..

Birthday Wish List
E' già tempo di compleanno...Mancano poche ore ma ogni anno sento meno la voglia di festeggiare alcunchè. "Bah, humbug!" direbbe Scrooge... Però mi piacciono i regali - e le wish list! Orsù, scriviamo questa letterina a Babbo Natale... :D
It's almost birthday time... Just a few hours to go but each year I feel less like celebrating anything. "Bah, humbug!" Scrooge would say... But I obviously like presents - and wish lists! So I should go on and write my letter to Santa... :D
