Spring 2014: Outfit 44

Trini striped dress white supergaTrini Wood Wood striped dressSuperga White Sneakers Trini Blog

Already, we are having summer weather here in Madrid (even though it’s raining right now).  It has been so hot lately I was forced to slip in my summer clothes, today i’m wearing one of my favorite summer dresses. Stripes of course! Classic, and so easy to wear. I love the shape of this dress (which wasn’t originally this length, another of my alterations) this type of round neck sleeveless garments are so perfect, the fit almost everyone and make arms look nicer. The wideness of this dress makes it so comfortable and free to move in, and of course it allows your skin to breathe something we all thank for during hot months. In general I see so many advantages on this dress that of course I would suggest it, to anyone.

Unfortunately it is from last summer so it’s no longer available, but I have a few similar suggestions for you.

-THIS DRESS by Fred Perry is lovely, short sleeved but with a similar shape.

-THIS DRESS is virtually a copy of mine, instead of navy stripes it has black stripes. No offense, but of course I would never buy this dress, it completely goes against my main principle when shopping, less quantity and more quality. But if you don’t care about quality and want something disposable, go ahead.

-THIS DRESS by Marc by Marc Jacobs is gorgeous and has a beautiful shape, again similar to mine somewhat more rigid and structured, with lovely light blue stripes. You can find more cute blue prom dresses online.

Now to what i’m wearing. Click on the name of the brand to purchase the item.

Ray-Ban sunglasses, Wood Wood dress, Superga sneakers and Louis Vuitton Sofia Coppola bag.

I wore it so much last summer and during Christmas holidays in South America and certainly will keep wearing it this summer. Same goes for my white Superga sneakers that might need to be replaced very soon.

Spring 2014: Outfit 43

Trini Topshop jeans Birkenstock arizona sandalsTrini striped JCrew shirtChanel classic flap Trini blogToday i’m wearing my Birkenstocks again, I seriously cant stop wearing them, i’m officially addicted! I never thought I would love them so so much, but I do. I love how they can “break” a somewhat feminine outfit and make it a little less obvious (I don’t know if I make any sense by saying this) it’s sort of the same effect running sneakers worn with skirts tend to have.

I have been wearing them with absolutely everything lately so you will definitely see them non stop in all my summer outfits.

Spring 2014: Outfit 42

I have received lately some emails asking me what to wear for X or Y event. Well what I am wearing today is what I would suggest any women (no matter the age, hair color or figure) to wear for a semi-formal/special event.

As you know i’m a big fan of the LBD (little black dress), and even if this one is not so little, more of a mid-length I am still a big fan in general of black dresses. Investing in black dresses is always smarter over any other color, because they are:

1.- less noticed

2.- more versatile

3.- elegant above most colors

4.- classic pieces that will last forever (with a few exceptions of course).

Now if you don’t have the biggest budget to splurge thats ok because there are affordable options out there, one of which is this actual dress i’m wearing. It’s probably one of the less expensive garments I own but it also probably is one with the highest potential. So please don’t ever think you need loads of money to dress good, you just need to shop smart, that is the only secret, really.

I won’t even start about how many ways you can wear it, but when I have a few outfits posted with this same dress I will make a review of how to wear a black dress so you can get some ideas.

I’m wearing: Ray-Ban wayfarer sunglasses, Gap dress, Robert Clergerie heels and Chanel bag.
