So today I am wearing a monochrome navy outfit (the t-shirt is really charcoal but it looks navy in the pictures). As you know I love navy and I love monochrome outfits so I could not think of anything better than to mix both. The only slight pop of something else is in my tortoiseshell sunglasses.

Hoy llevo un conjunto monocromático en color azul navy (la camiseta es de color carbón pero acaba pareciendo navy en contraste con las demás prendas). Como sabéis adoro el color navy y adoro los conjuntos en un solo color, por lo que no se me ocurre nada mejor que mezclar estos dos elementos. El único pequeño destello de algo diferente esta en mis gafas de sol de carey.

As you know i’m terribly addicted to this skirt, like really. I need to wear it over and over again and I just can’t seem to get enough. They possibilities are endless which is the main reason why I wear it so much.
For today I decided to pair with one of my classic t-shirts and some sneakers.

Como sabeis me he vuelto intensamente adicta a esta falda. No puedo dejar de usarla una y otra vez con todas las prendas de mi armario. Las posibilidades son infinitas y esta es la razón principal del porqué la uso tanto.
Hoy decidí combinarla con una camiseta básica y unas zapatillas blancas.

I have never been a fan of crop tops, I don’t know why but I tend to find most a little too much. I am aware though how it suits women with my body type, it definitely makes us look like we have more curves, so as a challenge I decided to get one and be able to style it in a way that it suited my style and wasn’t too out there. Low key is the key for me.
The results of this experiment can be found in this post. I think I might have been kind of scared without a real reason, just because I see too much 16 year olds styling it in the tackiest way does not mean it has to be tacky. I went for a monochrome look, with sneakers and I like the result very much, still simple, still low key.
Now this is part 1 of the experiment so obviously I still have to experiment how it might look with a skirt, or heels, that is much more complex I believe because it is right there when it can become a disaster, but I am up for the challenge. If it all goes well I might get a few more.

No se porqué pero no soy una gran fan de los crop tops. La verdad es que la mayoría me parecen un poco demasiado, como un intento desesperado de enseñar mas de lo adecuado. Por otro lado si soy muy consciente de que este tipo de tops dan la ilusión de tener mas curvas en mujeres con mi tipo de cuerpo por lo que a modo de desafío decidí comprarme uno y aventurarme a transformar una prenda que no me gusta en una que sí.
El resultado del experimento lo podéis ver en este post. Creo que juzgué esta prenda un poco pronto sin darle una oportunidad. Si es cierto que las niñas de 16 años lo llevan de una forma tan ordinaria y desesperada que uno tiende a asociarlo inmediatamente con la vulgaridad, pero eso no significa que sea vulgar en si. Me decidí por este conjunto negro con zapatillas y la verdad me gusta mucho el resultado, simple y sutil.
Ahora bien, esta es solo la primera parte del experimento y obviamente me queda la parte mas compleja que es combinarlo con falda y/o tacones y es ahí donde esta el gran desafío porque cuando se combina con estas prendas es cuando mas facilidad hay de que se convierta en vulgar y exuberante, pero de igual forma estoy dispuesta a aceptar mi desafío personal y encontrar una forma de que siga mi estilo.
