This is the second part of this series, and it's about how I started. As I said on the previous post, on November 2015 I decided to make an order from Lindy Bop . I got several skirts. Just skirts. Why? Because I thought it would be less "agressive" to begin with things I could match with "normal" clothes so the style was less shocking. Mistake no.1. Based on the dress I already had, I ordered size 12. Mistake no.2. Always look at the size chart goven by the website. ALWAYS. They arrived, I tried them on, and obviously they didn't fit. But thet mentality we all have... "Oh don't worry, I'll lose weight". Mistake no.3. As of today, almost two years later, thay are still tight. I fully realised that the day I decided to buy clothes my size. But we will discuss that later. Ok, so skirts. And what else? Ideally, I should wear some top that is tight-fitting on the waist and is tucked in the skirt. But I don't have tight-...
It's the first time I write about the books I read, and curiously 2011 has been the year with less reading-activity since I started reading for pleasure again. But here I go. Kazuo Ishiguro's Never Let Me Go I watched the trailer for the film (I must say, this happens to me very often) and I got very interested in it. And I liked the book, though I should say I found it veeeery slow. I want to think that it is necessary for the story, the passing of time mixed with the inevitable fate of the children... it kepps them and you, waiting. The film, by the way, it's awful. It's a good portrait of the story, but it's like a bad summary of the book. Kathryn Stockett's The Help I heard about this book from my University colleagues (this happens to me too) and I started to read it almost immediately. And it totally got me, I couldn't stop. I love the story and the different voices in it. Read it, please. The film is great too. H. P....
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...
