Oh I feel so bad about today’s photos. They’re not nearly as good as in yesterday’s post, but unfortunately I can’t have my brother at my disposal every day! And I’m so sick of this cold. I spend a ridiculous amount of time everyday trying to figure out what to wear (that can be stylish and warm at the same time). I regret not buying a couple of warm faux fur coats when I had the chance, but it’s too late now. I will (hopefully) soon be starting to buy from the spring collections. That is as soon as the weather gets warmer, because until then, I can’t even look at spring clothing without feeling cold! OK, I’m exaggerating, I know! ;)

Do you buy spring/summer clothes when it’s still cold?

The poncho and the hat made me feel like I was a character in a spaghetti Western and I have no idea how I came up with such an outfit in this cold! My beloved photographer (brother) was available today and he took my outfit pics, so please excuse me for the picture-heavy post, but I wanted to post them all! I was wearing a brown sweater underneath the poncho, with a lovely brown-teal necklace, but it was so freakin cold that I couldn’t take off the poncho (teeth chattering situation!).

This winter there were lots of maxi dresses and skirts, a trend that will continue for some time as it seems. But another style was also shown in many spring collections (as well as in FW 2011-12 runway shows): the midi length. We saw the form fitting midi skirts inspired from the 40’s, the flared style inspired from the 50’s and also the more bohemian 70’s style skirts.
Although many women fear that the midi can be unflattering, I believe that when styled properly and with the right pair of shoes, it can look very chic and feminine.
I rediscovered this 40’s style dress in my closet and I’m happy that I can finally start wearing it again. And I love the fact that it can be worn in many ways and it can also double as a light coat!
(forgive the grey nail polish, which is not at all retro, but I did my nails yesterday and couldn't be bothered to do them again today!)

Remember what I told you in my previous post about a pop of yellow? Well, I wore it today with a grey cardi, which happens to be one my favorite combinations (grey with yellow). I needed that pop of color, because the past few days have been so rainy and dull. This constant rain is getting on my nerves. I hate not being able to wear what I like and I’m sick of knits and coats already!
Everything is from Zara except from the coat (Vintage) and the scarf (gifted, unknown brand).

I want to wish my lovely Greek readers “kali Tsiknopempti”, I hope you have a lovely time and try not to eat too much!

Well, just for a day that is! I’m so sorry, but I couldn’t possibly post anything yesterday. I was working until late and by the time I finished I didn’t have any photos to post (couldn’t even find the strength to type, to be exact!). I think I might bend the rules a bit: for the days I can’t photograph my outfits due to work load or other unforeseeable reasons, I will post a collage from pollyvore or something like that. Lets hope I won’t have to resort to that solution, but posting something is better than nothing I suppose!
In that context, just a simple and quick outfit post for today and nothing special make up wise...
Jacket and bag: Zara
Button down shirt: Vintage
Denim shorts: DIY
Boots: old (can’t remember where I got them)
Face: Korres watermelon oil free tinted moisturizer SPF 30, Benefit booing concealer, Mac mineralize skin finish natural
Eyes: Grimas No560 e/s, Korres black eyeliner, Max Factor masterpiece max mascara in black/brown
Cheeks: Grimas No560 and No564 eyeshadow/rouge
Lips: Avon golden rose lipstick, Elf glossy lip shine
What did you do over the weekend? I sure hope you had more fun than me! ;)

This was another crazy busy week and I can tell that it’s going to get a lot worse. But I will soon be ready to reveal what I’ve been up to and then you’ll understand why I’m feeling tired all the time lately! But I’m not complaining, it is something that’s worth all the trouble me and my brother are going through. Enough now, I don’t like talking in riddles!
Today’s outfit was built around these lovely pumps that I got on sales. The bag you see here belonged to my mother (I stole it form her!) and it's made out of real crocodile leather. I don't particularly like that, but since it's vintage I'm willing to overlook it! You also already know my belt’s DIY story and I’m so happy it turned out so good. And the greatest thing about it is that I will not ever see anyone else wearing the same one!!!
Cardigan: Zara
Vest: H&M
Leggings: Tally Weijl
Shoes: Bershka
Crocodile leather bag: Vintage
Face: Korres watermelon oil free tinted moisturizer SPF 30, Benefit booing concealer, Mac mineralize skin finish natural

I hate repeating myself but I’m dead tired! Can anyone send over a masseur?!
