How To Wear Red White And Blue

April 16, 2015 by suzanne carillo

I’m in love with this t-shirt from this set…the front says hello…the back says goodbye. Cute right?

 

Hello Goodbye

 

Top      Jeans     Jacket     Handbag     Shoes     Sunglasses

 

 

Of course I have no intention of spending $115 for a striped t-shirt. I hope to find a striped tee thrifting and then simply paint on the words.  Ya-huh.

This started out as a pastel set and then morphed into red white and blue. If my feet could stand ballet flats I’d want them in red.

Would you wear this set?

Bold Floral Maxi Dress & Giveaway

April 15, 2015 by suzanne carillo

I’m not one to do lots of sponsored posts.  This is the second one I’ve done in nine years of blogging. We all have our weaknesses though. When Walk Trendy contacted me and I saw that I had Pinned and lusted after this bold floral maxi dress for the past couple of months I wasn’t able to say no.

The maxi dress arrived in less than a week… very quickly for overseas shipping.

As you can see the colours of the dress are striking. I chose a medium after measuring myself and it turned out to be the correct size for me. Normally I take a small so I would suggest you pay extra attention to the measurements on their website.

At only 5’4″ you can see that this maxi dress is *almost* a bit short on me. I don’t mind, since it makes it the perfect length for flats and easier to walk. If you are taller take the length into consideration when ordering.

The skirt is very full, there is a ton of fabric in this dress.

It is a bit transparent, I’d recommend a slip underneath.

You can’t tell but it was only around 13 C here and I was FREEZING my butt off to get these photos. I know…I’m a woose.  I was wearing black leggings and a camisole underneath as a hidden layer of warmth.

I like the long sleeves…it is so hard to find dresses with full sleeves.

If I didn’t wear the camisole underneath I would have pinned the neck closed as it gaped a bit.

The dress is a bit short waisted, but the long fabric sash can be tied at your natural waist.

It is 100% polyester and I couldn’t see any loose threads or issues with the sewing of the garment.

The dress itself is beautiful and romantic and I can see myself wearing it quite often during summer, especially since it looks great with flats.

Walk Trendy has generously offered to sponsor a $50 giveaway for one of my lucky readers!
