Olive and sparkles

Consumer studies show that usually people buy more tops than bottoms such as trousers or skirts. I have come to realise that I am an unusual person since my closet has more bottoms and dresses than tops (to be honest, I have had other signs too. It isn't just the bottoms thing). I guess they catch my attention more easily and then at the end I just end up using the same basic tops over and over again. During my sale shopping spree in Zara I thought about how I could use some new tops. I didn't find many but I found this one in olive green with a very soft fabric, quite warm for colder days, simple enough to make a good match for skirts or trousers and cheap!

Choker and studs

You certainly have noticed the comeback of chokers in the past year and I have indulged in the trend as you may have seen here on the blog. I don't have many of them, however the one I was given for Christmas by my brother-in-law JC is a very special one. It is hand-embroidered by women in the Yucatan region of Mexico and it is just beautiful. Who says that artisan work has to be boring and traditional? Here is the proof that it can be fashionable as well!
