grey & black, let's hit the jackpot

En: I hope I haven't bored you with my grey coat yet. I promise it's the last post with it. This time I just wanted to show you how it looks in the mix with a dress. Also considering that in our sunny Texas February it's already spring I won't get to wear it any longer. 

A two-color look, simple but that makes me feel comfortable and at ease. I don't get to wear a lot of dresses, I usually go for the cosiness of the pants, but this dress in particular it's pretty wide around the waste and it gives me the freedom to move easily. Plus it's a double hit, weather you want to wear it at work or for a casual night out. The headband was mainly an addition to the simple image of the whole outfit, considering I barely do anything with my hair, I said I'd get at least one hair accessory, even though it was over worn for the past 2 years.

So what do you say, yay or nay?

Socks and Heels

 En: Here in Texas we always have a dilemma, it's never too cold for pumps in winter but at the same time to me it seems weird to see women wearing just pumps or sandals with no stockings or pantyhose. It's still January, from where I come from it's the time when we rock warm boots. So I found this socks trend the optimal solution for the Texan mild cold winter days. Throw on  a pair of socks and your favorite pumps or sandals and the problem is solved in an interesting, a less boring, but most of all healthy, way. We've had an alert on this trend for the past 2 years, long socks over the knees short over the ankles they all work perfect. I like it! What about you girls?

Is red too hot for a business day?

En: I know it's Friday, that casual Friday when we can wear our jeans to work. But today's 2 pieces business mix  is more of a potential idea for a Monday. Do you remember the post 'Strictly Business' where I showed you some ideas of business outfits taken from Vogue and I promised I'd come with a personalized outfit. So here we go I kept my word and today I came up with a mix made of 2 pieces a simple but elegant shirt and a pencil skirt. The visual connection between the 2 items is the belt, the key item, very trendy at the moment, the glossy magazines tell us we can't miss having one in our closet. So just like Alinka says, let it be, if we need one we'll get one. The skirt is another smart purchase of hers if we consider the price and the quality. How cool is it to have a sister, instantly your wardrobe is two times bigger and same for her.

So if to keep the tone of the post until the end, I wish you a hot weekend just like the colors of my outfit. The red made me think of Valentine's day, one more month to go! 

Skinny ripped jeans

En: I am trying to figure out how to relate coherently the jeans from today's post and one of my new year resolutions... I bet you guessed already which one, it's about loosing weight! Taking the sugar out turned to be efficient, so in a week it made it possible for me to fit into my teenager jeans :) I am exaggerating a bit, the jeans aren't that old nor am I. But certain is that I had them for a while, and they couldn't fit me for a while too :D It made me remind of that episode from Sex and the City, when Miranda finally got into her teenage skinny jeans from 1985. I tell you guys, 'cuz women know already, this is pure happiness. And like all happy endings, the girls went and celebrated with a Cosmo, or more.
Some may say I am crazy, that I have never been fat, mom will say that I am pretty anyway and who truly loves me won't care about how much weight... I say I like to be bitchy skinny, so my skinny jeans can fit me. And I will be, in a week or more, haven't hit the scale low enough yet. And that's when I'll need a Cosmo too!
