Classic with a twist

10 April, 2012

I know it’s been weeks since I’ve shown you my new pair of flats, from Spartoo.gr, and told you that I’ve already worn it for the first time. But I had so many posts scheduled (in my mind) for you, that I had to postpone the actual outfit post of that day. Now it’s finally the time to reveal it, and I really hope you like it. I wore it in one of the first days of spring (before the return of the chilly weather), but I kept my tights and my blazer on, cause I knew that this early spring weather can be tricky, and you can catch a cold in no time. The occasion was a lunch out with some family friends (not my age), that lasted for many hours, but I had a really good time, as I usually do  in such events. I chose to wear flats, because we were near the beach and I wanted to be comfortable.

Eve of Eden striped blazer, Sarah Lawrence dress, D&G bag, Café Noir flats via Spartoo.gr, Donna Karan sunglasses, vintage necklace, Esprit watch, and D&G studded bracelet.

I brought this blazer with me from Sweden a few years ago, and I love its stripes, and its light pink lining. I have a think for pretty linings.

And here’s a close-up of the accessories:

A vintage necklace from my mom’s jewellery box, which I had shown you again here… And one of my favorite bracelets, a D&G one with pyramid studs…

As for my manicure! It was supposed to be a snakeskin one, but didn’t go as planned. My mistake… It was better in person, but still not as good as I wanted. The middle finger was quite good though, and I’m planning to do it again some time with other colors to make it more obvious.

P.S. I wanna thank my cousin for taking these pics, as I was running terribly late, and didn’t have enough time to take them by myself.

See you next time! I have a pastel themed post ready for you! You’re gonna love it! 🙂

    • Thank you so much Steph! I saw a Youtube video a long time ago, and wanted to try it. The colors I chose weren’t so good for the snakeskin effect because they were glittery, and you couldn’t see the effect so much. So next time, I’ll try something else.
      There are a lot of videos, and tutorials, but I followed this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDwQ1WIJl8g

  9. Oh, three posts for me to come here, finally! You know I don’t like to miss your posts, but I know you understood the reasons!
    Now Easter – for me – is done, and I feel better. Special dates make me feel a bit more sensitive, and I know it’s the same with you. Easter for you is approaching… but I know you will be with your family and this is great!
    Many thanks for the lovely messages… they really helped me!!! 🙂 (Million times thanks, really!)
    Now to the amaaaaaaaaazing pictures! You know I think you are very elegant – the elegance in person, in fact, and very stylish! Yes, because I have a friend who only buys elegant pieces, but she never looks elegant, I don’t know why. You, on the contrary, have elegant items AND always look elegant! You know how to wear things!
    I loved the whole outfit! And the way you wore and matched altogether. Necklace, bracelet, blazer, sweeeet shoes! The dress is awesome too! And the nails? What for a great color! I’m wearing again the pink one you gave to me, and again it lasted! Amazing!
    So now I feel better, finally I could feel OK enough to comment again!
    Filakia poooollaaaaaaaaaaaa and thanks for all, always!

    • Of course I understood the reasons, and of course your life comes first. Blogs and comments can wait. Thank you so much for sending me those emails. I really wished I could be with you! And I’m so glad you’re feeling better now.
      hehe You’re making me blush every time with your sweet comments. Really! I don’t know if I’m that elegant, but thank you so much for saying so! My looks are more classic, and feminine sometimes, since I was a teenager, I knew what I liked and how I wanted to dress. And I have a thing for matchy matchy outfits which I think that my mother passed to me. The manicure actually consists of 2 colors (or even 3 on some nails). But they are all glittery, and the result wasn’t the one I expected. It’s okay, I’ll do it better next time. I’m so glad that the nail polish I sent you lasted more than your usual ones. So I guess it is partly because of the nail polish! I’ve already used two of the ones you sent me, and they both lasted more than a week on me. Of course while using a base coat, and a top (fast drying) coat. It really helps.
      Filakia polla! You’re so sweet, but you don’t have to thank me all the time. You know that I consider you a friend, and that’s what friends do for each other. Wish I could do more! 🙂
