Blue on blue on blue

You know I am not one to shy away from bold contrasts but sometimes it is ok to go more subtle. If you are in a mood to create a look with a soft colour palette you can always combine different tones of the same hue just like I did in this look by playing with different shades of blue. The result is very harmonious yet not boring. 

When I bought this dress back in February on sale I didn't really think through the fact that the low back cut and the high front slit would be elements that would make me insecure about using it on its own. Neither had I realised how easily the fabric wrinkles. However I still like it so I had to find a way to be able to use it and I am quite pleased with the effect that it gives as a top layer. That doesn't really solve the wrinkling problem but I have decided just to ignore it and accept the fact that it will never look perfect. Who wants to look perfect anyway?

Jeans and heels

Isn't it great that a otherwise casual outfits of jeans and a top can be transformed into something suitable for any occasion when combined with a pair of heels? It is a known fact that I can't really stand very high heels so I own very few pairs that aren't flat and I think that the highest one I have is 7 cm. It is just so convenient that low block heels are on trend right now for my low-tolerance feet because I can wear them everyday to work or for going out but I don't have to be worried that I need a chair where I can crush any minute. So you can't blame me for not resisting myself when I accidentally found this pair still available on my size and just for 199 pesos.

Dreamcatcher and camouflage

I probably look different in this picture than usual as I am completely make-up free. I was skeptical about sharing it at the beginning but then I decided that I just could not wait to show off another of my Christmas presents. Anyway the purpose of this blog has always been to share my personal style and outfits and I have always been far from perfect so I think it is fine to go all natural once in a while. 

Since it is Wednesday it is the perfect fit for a pink outfit (Mean Girls reference) so my brand new dreamcatcher necklace is the ideal complement to make everything even pinker ;) Now I am hoping that it will also fulfill its purpose as a dreamcatcher and only bring me good dreams!

My NYC Fashion Diary: The High Line and the Top of the Rock

New York is the kind of city where you can just be happy walking around and admiring the architecture and the views. The High Line is just beautiful and a great example of reusing a space for a completely different purpose and the Top of the Rock is probably the best place to get a 360º view of the city. So I would say go for both!
