A woman's affair

Oups! Seems like I said I would post this yesterday and I kind of missed the deadline. It's been happening to me lately: skiping deadlines, missing appointments, forgeting promises. I'm just too stressed. I'm even too tired and lifeless that I can't strike a pose for an outfit post. However, it seems like I'm not always that careless (thank you so much, past me, for taking these gorgeous pics!!). Upon rearranging my computer files (because yes, procrastination), I discovered that I had yet to unleash some of my past looks, even one from the Basic Item series I was promising before I left for Craiova.

As for the look, you might say it's not that me. And it actually isn't. I am in love with color, more or less, and I always add that touch of crazy and chic in all of my outfits, but it seems like I went for a more mature look in this one. I don't really remember the story I wanted to tell with this outfit, not because it was too long ago, but because it's so simple, yet refined, that it invites anyone that sees it to think of a story.

Today, I think that this semi-transparent blouse is the perfect item for a business woman: soft and delicate in the front, and edgy in the back. You know, like in that quote. Who's quote? The Iron Lady's, of course!

Being powerful is like being a lady. If you have to tell people you are, you aren't.

The animal within

Like I was saying in yesterday's post, I reserve my winter for some bohemian outer wear and classy accessories. However, this doesn't prevent me from dressing down underneath it. This time, I decided to rock my leopard print tights I got a couple of years ago from a thrift store and my studded Pimkie boots. Also, I finally took out of the closet my leather shorts (last time I wore them was for another outfit post)!
Nevertheless, I froze during the taking of these pictures and you can easily see how I got distracted by the beautiful background I chose for the shooting.

Lazy Saturday

It's cold outside, but I'm hot inside. Meaning I haven't left my comfy PJs yet and I'm indulging in some hot coffee, while doing some weekend reading. I haven't quite had any time to relax this week, even if I'm enjoying a very long holiday, so this Saturday afternoon is probably going to be the victim of manichure tryouts and Skype conversations. As for the outfit I'm presenting you, is something I captured in pictures yesterday. I'm very sorry I hadn't got the idea of taking the pics earlier, because, as you can see, the light isn't very helpful in surprising the details.
I chose to wear the garter tights because I somtimes crave for a little sexy and I guess that in the middle of the winter, this is probably the best way to give a hint of hotness ^_^ . As for the rest, I wore knit on knit, the perfect combo for hitting the snow, accesorised with some golden accesories.
Another thing I really want to talk about is the background. Though it might not seem a fabulous choice, it's my favorite decor. Don't ask me why, I still haven't figured it out!

Have a lovely Saturday and don't forget to read some good pages!

You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.
C. S. Lewis

As I said yesterday, I am in love with starting over. As much as I sometimes crave for indulging in a sedentary daily routine, usually I adore a new challenge. This is why, this year, I've challenged myself to attain everything I've wanted and dreamed of so far and haven't quite got a grasp on. I've learned some lessons in the past couple of months and here's my advice to you:

You might touch your dreams over night, but you might never. Unless you work for it, one step at a time, until you can embrace the true taste of success.
For me, the small steps refer not only to my blog and this year, as you can see, I'm going steady, posting on a schedule and keeping my promises. I am going to rely on my creativity and whit and not allow my procrasting nature to take over.
So here it is, my first outfit post of the year, showcasing what I wore for a small NYE party. Also, in these pictures you can better observe what I did to my hair! I chose to dye my hair according to the ombre trend, mostly because I felt the need to change something about my looks and because it's not high maintenance.

Stay tuned for a couple of more changes/surprises/love!
