A visit to the men´s department

We women are so lucky when it comes to fashion. The choices are infinite and top of all, the trends allow us to pick things even from the boys department! So naturally when I saw this tank top with the cat print in the men´s section I just could not resist!

Polka dots, bows and cowboy boots

Well you must be wondering how can it be possible that one day I post photos wearing a sweater and a coat and the other with a short dress and no tights? Well the climate where I live is not the most stable one and the temperature can one day be 35 degrees Celsius and the next 5 so that explains the diversity of my outfits and why it is impossible to store your summer clothes during winter ;)

Today featuring me

I don't think I have ever been more proud to present an outfit and that is because it is featuring something made by me. Oh yes, I made the scarf!!! I chose this Keith Haring design, printed the fabric myself and hand stitched it. So if I can do it anyone can do it! Be creative!
