That’s how I could describe the color of the top I’m wearing. Which is actually a lovely asymmetrical skirt, that has never been worn as one. Because see-through is fine for a top, but a no no for a skirt. Come to think of it I could try wearing it with a lace petticoat underneath, that would give it a nice touch don’t you think?
I have been loving bright and neon colors lately and I think that I’ll keep wearing them during the fall season too. Austere blacks and browns without any hint of color make me feel depressed at the moment, but maybe it’s because of the weather. Maybe I’ll have a change of heart come winter. I’m notorious for my mood swings after all...

Today the weather was magnificent, so I set out to go to the city centre for some shopping, visit a few thrift stores etc. I took the train because it’s almost impossible to park near Syntagma square, especially on a Saturday morning. On the way I started to feel a bit lightheaded and dizzy. It got worse and as soon as I left the train station I started feeling like I was about to faint. So I thought I should get back because I was in no condition to walk or do any shopping whatsoever. I got in a cab and told the driver to take me to my destination as soon as possible because I wasn’t feeling well. He said “with a woman like you I would even go to hell”!!! I ignored his remark and said please lets go, I feel very dizzy, but he continued and suggested that we go for a coffee so I will feel better and started asking me what’s my name, what I do for living, where I live etc.
OMG, was that guy for real? There I was, almost about to faint and he was hitting on me!!!
I had no choice but to get out and grab another taxi to take me home. Fortunately the other driver was no casanova!

In case you’re wondering I feel better now and I’m guessing my blood pressure dropped and/or my iron levels must be very low again, that’s why I felt so dizzy and weak. So I’ll have to start taking iron supplements all over again!

Haha, not literally! The only sad story I have to tell is about my tights. As for not posting yesterday, I had to go to a friend’s name-day gathering and came home late and blah, blah, blah you know the story! But I was a good girl and took some pics of my outfit before I left home.
Well, anyway, about the tights: I’ve had these for a while and never got around to wearing them. So yesterday I decided it was about time I wore them. And I did. I had a lovely time at my friends house, we ate, we laughed, I got some compliments about my tights and then I came home. And as I was getting undressed....@#$%^^#&! My nail got caught and I ripped the tights!!! Darn it, and I only wore them once. At least they were not expensive (if they were a pair of Wolfords there would be tears involved, lol!). So, adios my dear tights, it was good while it lasted... :-P

The correct title would be “New in”, but I thought I’d change it a bit since I have been making some purchases lately and I don’t want to use the same title over and over again. My excuse is: I’m a shopaholic (who me? naaa!).
OK, I have a better excuse: early birthday presents...to myself!
So I finally got around to buying a new pair of sunnies. Over the past few years my sunglasses were constantly getting smashed (a total of 3 lovely pairs ruined, and not by me!), which has left me with only one pair, my Rayban aviators that you’ve seen me wearing many times. At last I decided to “cast out the evil” that’s been haunting my poor sunglasses and buy a new pair. I really hope these ones will have a better fate. Knock on wood!
Anyway, I wanted a pair of Wayfarers for a while now and so I got this pair from the “Rare prints” collection, which has a black frame with a super cute button pins print on the inside. I absolutely adore them. I will take some close up photos and post them tomorrow.

I have a crafty/DIY question: these over-the-knee socks are too tight on my legs (the elastic part). Do you think I could cut the elastic band? But then I don’t know what will hold them in place. Have you had this problem with over-the-knee socks?

Yesterday I was supposed to go to the first day of AXDW (Athens Exclusive Designers Week). I had my outfit already planned in my head, an early appointment at the hairdresser and as soon as I would be back from a work related thing, I would be off to the shows. But...you can’t always plan ahead. Not when work is involved. Bummer! And I really wanted to go, especially on Saturday. And my hair was looking so lovely... :(
Anyway, as it seems I’m not going to make it to any of the shows, because work always comes first, doesn’t it?!

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!!!

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