Please excuse me for the awful quality of these pictures. My old photographer (ex-boyfriend) and I are no longer together. Not that I need to tell you about my personal life, but I do feel I need to explain why I am not updating my website as frequently. To be honest this happened a long time ago, but thanks to all my traveling this past year and my family and friends I was able to manage for quite some time (more than I thought possible).
Now that I am back home, back to work, no more traveling around I am having a really hard time finding someone to take my pictures. My new man, as amazing as he is…I think needs to adjust to the dynamics of what having a blog actually is for me. Although he is an amazing support and is the proudest that can be…I am not exactly the type to go jump on the whole “honey you need to photograph my outfits” within the first few months, (plus there is the time issue). Hopefully soon I can start having more outfit pictures to get back on track. In the meantime a lovely co-worker was nice enough to take my pictures with her phone (not that she has a crappy phone) but the pictures lost quality when she sent it.
Still I believe this to be better than nothing, plus I like how different the concept of these pictures are compared to my usual ones.

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.

Today I am wearing my new culottes by 3.1 Phillip Lim. I had wanted a pair of culottes since last summer, but to be honest I did not find a pair that was worth investing in. So as I always do I waited for the perfect pair rather than going for the first one I saw, and it was all worth it. I can not begin to explain how perfect these are, the quality is beyond fabulous and the material is perfect for year round. When investing in any garment of clothing we must not forget how long can we actually wear it, to determine if it is really worth it, summer only garments are not the most ideal to invest in, so we must keep an extra eye in this situations and not forget to pay attention.
For it’s first outing I decided to wear my culottes with heels, there is nothing more elegant than a good pair of classic heels, and this can make an outfit be more suitable for work or even a night out. This outfit is one than can easily be worn for a date night, or even a party, but could also be consider suitable for work. You will see much more of me in them, so be prepared for different alternatives on how to make culottes be more informal or even more summer-ish.

Hoy llevo mis nuevos culottes navy. Llevo queriendo un par de ellos desde el verano pasado pero la verdad es que no daba con un par que realmente valiese la pena como para invertir en el. Así que como siempre esperé a por el par perfecto en ves de pillar lo primero que viese. La espera dio sus frutos, este maravilloso par de culottes es perfecto, tiene el largo ideal y la calidad es insuperable. Una de las cosas que mas me gustó es que no es tan ligero, lo que lo hace ideal para usarlo todo el año. Algo a tener en cuenta cuando vamos a invertir en una prenda es cuanta parte del año la podremos usar, si es solo para verano no recomiendo darle tanta relevancia como las prendas que nos permiten mas uso.
Para usarlos por primera vez decidí combinarlos con tacones, ya que no se me ocurre nada mas elegante que clásico par de tacones negros. Esto hace que el conjunto pueda usarse para ir al trabajo o también para una cena o incluso para alguna fiesta. Por supuesto veréis distintas formas de usarlo de forma mas informal y también en un conjunto completamente veraniego, como mas adelante adaptado a otras estaciones.
