Miss Penny LaFreak

We had yet another wedding this year. I started thinking about what to wear, when my husband suggested I already had a dress. We made a weekend trip to Madrid back in May and, as usual, I visited Chopper Monster . I found this beautiful red dress. Al final este año tuvimos otra boda más. Empecé a pensar qué ponerme, cuando mi marido me sugirió que ya tenía vestido. Nos fuimos de fin de semana a Madrid allá por Mayo y, como siempre, fui a Choppor Monster. Y encontré este vestidazo rojo. I haven't even considered it because I'm not used to wiggle dresses at all. I didn't even wanted to buy it in the first place, I just wanted to see how it fitted. It made me feel like Agent Carter. Again, it was my husband who encouraged me. It looked amazing, and we had been on a diet for so long. It was time for a reward. Ni me había planteado este vestido porque no estoy acostumbrada a los vestidos ajustados. Ni siquiera me lo iba a comprar, sólo me lo probé para ver...

Last June we attended my (now officially) siblings-in-law wedding. To be more specific, it was my husband's sister wedding. So big event, and great chance for putting an outfit together. From the beginning, I wanted something yellow. It was probably the worst colour I could have chosen. It was impossible to find something that I liked and that it was not too acid for my skin tone. I then opened my span and just looked for something that I liked, no matter the colour. I liked some, but I did not love them. I then put my eye on this: El pasado Junio fuimos a la boda de mis cuñados. Concretamente la boda de la hermana de mi marido. El bodón, y la oportunidad perfecta para crear un look a la altura. Desde el principio, quise algo amarillo. Probablemente el peor color que podría haber elegido. Fue absolutamente imposible encontrar algo que me gustara y que no fuese demasiado ácido para mi piel. Decidí abrir el abanico de posibilidades y buscar algo que me gusta...

Committing to a specific style is always complicated. Specially if it is not standard. Specially if your body is not standard. Specially if you live in a country where it is hardly accessible if not through the Internet. Specially if you live in a country where you cannot try to be extravagant or everyone will look at you as if you were crazy. Moreover, if the style requires certain infrastructure, and you live in the Hell Mouth, the thing gets interesting. But as I said at the beginning, committing. For two years, I've been focusing gradually towards this style. And I don't mean typical Rockabilly Pin-Up black and red with flowers and all that, but a larger one including 1950s style. It all began in 2015.I was about to say on my friend Silvia’s wedding, but it may be on my own wedding. I will not bore you with the details of picking and making my dress, maybe in another post. I will just say that I found a style that I really liked and I ...
