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!

Curvy ballerina

I am not sure if it is because my parents never sent me to ballet (and trust me, I did loads of out-of-school activities, just ask my sister) or because I feel that it is a nice expression of femininity that I am just fascinated by tulle skirts. Last week I took an express work trip to NYC and I made a late evening visit to Forever 21 in Times Square so of course as soon as I saw this skirt I just could not resist. Pairing it with a pair of non-conventional ballerina shoes can save it from being too literal and at the same time look interesting and cool. It appears to leave a trail of sparkle on its way for the moment but that's all right, I guess I will fulfil my fairy destiny :)
