Smart casualty

Let's stop for a moment and applaude this amazing style.
A pair of jeans.
A white t-shirt.
A black blazer.
Yet...

...so volatile, Goddammit! You can wear a pair of heels and look chic and ready to go to office. Or, you can pick some flat shoes for a relaxed casual outfit. Add a bright lip gloss / lip stick, or a bright (red, green, blue, orange) accesory (scraf, headband, bag, belt etc.) and you most surely will pop out in the crowd ;)
Can't wait for the spring to try them both ^_^

With heels
With flats

DIY: Zara TRF Tulip-Skirt Dress

Do It Yourself

     You know that feeling when you see a cloth while surfing the net and want it infinitely much, but can't afford it?? Well, I've got it every time plus the desire to change a little bit here and a little bit there so that it would look perfect on me. And when I saw Zara TRF Tulip-Skirt Dress, I knew I had to make it and I was sure it would fit me perfectly.
     So, I bought some fabric. I needed it to be thin enough to confort me in a summer evening and firm enough to mantain the shape of the dress. I've choosed some gabardine of light creamy shade.
     I made some changes to the original dress, because I find it kind of sporty and I needed it elegant for I intended to wear it at my friend's wedding. I've changed the shape of the neck and lowered the back neckline.
     I have, also, kept the pockets, cause I adore them. All my clothes should have pockets so I can find a place for my hands :)
     It so happened, that the fabric wasn't too firm so I had to use some vlieseline (or fusible fabric).-

     I must say that this dress was my pride and glory at the wedding ♥
     This is my first fully finished garment, that I'm totally satisfied with.

     Hopefully it's not the last :D
