Today's outfit: spring dress!


Dress - OVS
Turtleneck - Tezenis
Tights - Project
Boots - Nero Giardini
Flower studs - Conbipel

Today I challenged myself to wear a spring dress with winter boots. I picked this dress and "winterized" it with a black turtleneck and my Nero Giardini boots. 
It was really satisfying to wear this dress, since it had been in need of some minor repair for about a year. So, a couple of weeks ago, I decided it was about time I'd do something about this , and repaired it. It was a shame to have it in the closet without using it. I love its 70s shape and pattern, and the little coral stripes add an interesting touch of color.
I can't wait to style it in the warmer days with shoes and no turtleneck.

I really love this dress! It looks great how you layered it. I would also wear with a cardigan in any of the clolours of the print as an alternative to the poloneck underneath.

Taking Stock

Image
  After a long hiatus, I decided to start writing again... I don't expect anyone to really be reading, but I just love so much going through my old entries, it's a sort of treasured diary. The image above was taken on April 25th (bank holiday here), during our bike ride at the Aqueducts park in Rome. Such a beautiful day! So much has changed since last time I wrote here, I don't know where to start. So I start by taking stock! Making:  eggplant pesto. As requested by my girl, who loved it last summer. I stopped doing it during the winter, as eggplant were not so good, but husband found some nice ones and as I write they are in the oven. Drinking : water and more water. The sparkling one, thanks! Watching : videos (youtube and instagram) on home and food organizing, fitness, and, of course, makeup. Love Love Love Johnny Ross ! Reading : Minimalism , by Gwyneth Snow. Will need to start applying the suggestions, though! Enjoying : working from home 3 days a week. Makes me even

BDIB - Arm Party!

Image
  This is my second time participating in the Bloggers Do it better series.  This time, the theme is " Arm Party ". And I am glad Kristina had this idea, because it pushed me to take out and wear my bangles...  I wore this outfit - it's an exact repetition, so I didn't take pictures.  And here is the arm Party! I bought the six striped bangles during my trip to Corsica, 20 years ago. They are six like the letters that compose my name.The brown one is from a store in Buffalo. The thin one is even older, it's about 25 years old! A classmate gave me a bunch of them (it was the 80's and Madonna was just starting to get famous) and I somehow managed to keep this one through the years. Now I want to start wearing all the other bangles I have, too!
