hide me......

with a military vibe….

Hello my dear readers and blogging friends!

It was a tough week!!! Lots of work at the office (I’m in the middle of a big project of a new software, in the team that is doing tests) which has been taking me much time and making me too exhausted that some days I even haven’t opened m laptop.
And it will continue next week….. “how great”…. (lol)

My country is crossing also a big economic crisis with some political issues and austerity measures have been announced. Tax increases, salary reductions… between others. All this is making people very nervous…including me of course.

On Wednesday I took these pictures but had no time to publish them. By the way I’m so in love with my satchel that I have been living with it. I think it’s such a great bag for a business woman for practical reasons and for the power feeling.

I hope you all are having a wonderful weekend!!! Until…..

rainy and windy Saturday…. let’s go casual….

Hello my dear readers and blogging friends. Hope all is great with you.

I’ve been extremely busy and concerned at the office which makes me feel much tiered when at home and just do what is just priority.
And maybe this will continue almost until Christmas… so I don’t promise to post regularly (nor check your blogs, sorry).

And here we are already in the middle of the weekend, Saturday is almost over and Sunday I’m sure will pass so quickly that I will enter the working week with the feeling that I wish I had more time to all that I wanted to do.

But this weekend we have such a bad weather!!! Wind, rain and chill.
I didn’t even get a place outdoors to take some shoots because of the rain, so I had to do it inside, in my living room.

As some of you know I’m doing some renovations at home and one thing I did was to replace my cream curtains for some fuchsia ones, creating a brighter environment.
But just today I realize that we must take care when taking pictures, because the light trough the curtains gives the photos a slightly pink tone as you can see below in my casual outfit shoots.
Let’s pretend it’s on purpose, it’s arty…. (lol)

By the way I put this look on Chicisimo, since I’m wearing a Westrags piece I’m in for theirs contest. So if you find my casual look cool why not go there and vote on it...

brown boots - local store
dark blue jeggings - H&M (Toronto)
taupe shirt - Stradivarius
light brown belt - Vero Moda
animal print scarf - Zara
black jacket - Westrags
black hat - random

what I'm needing now is.....

Inner Peace

fashion faux pas…???

I like when I have this feeling of being maverick….

Socks, heels and age appropriated….. Fashion faux pas?



Thank you to all the dear friends that commented on my last post. You’re so kind cheering me up.

brown shoes - Zara
brown socks - random
olive green skirt - La Redoute
brown cardigan - Mango
animal print blouse - Zara
belt - C&A

when will it be good enough….

These last days I’ve been living in the corporate uniform, smart pants, a button down shirt and some heels. Boring…..

Actually I totally admit you aren't going to see any revolutionary outfits on here. It was never my goal such thing.
One I’m a working woman in an office, two I have no skills nor body for that, three I have my budget….

When I started this blog my goal was to learn… filled with thirst for information, I published all my outfits, everyday, to see my mistakes but also to see my good ideas.

As I was realizing some aspects and learning something the perfectionist in me started to appear.
And instead of feeling confident with what I knew now I find myself more and more insecure if a look is worth to publish.
Because I would very much like if I could inspire some readers to add a scarf, a fun pair of shoes or belted something, even just so they realize it is okay to have a basic pair of black pants to toss on from time-to-time.
But for that I must try to overlook that perfectionist in me that says “no, this is not good enough”…
But what is “good enough”?????? Who is the jury of that????
I see so much street style fashion with looks similar to mines but the perfectionist wants more.
So what the perfectionist takes is NOTHING!!!!

Maybe it’s because the leaves are falling, maybe it’s because the economy is bad, maybe it’s because our government measures include taking a percentage from my income…. But I’m feeling in a crisis…

Nevertheless maybe I’ll reach the day that I’ll tell to myself “I AM WORTH”!
