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....
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...
