pumpkin legs

Today I tried a new styling of the purple corduroy dress from Asos... which I really prefer to the last one
and I pulled my usual ace card : the magic red belt.
I also wanted to wear the orange neon tights that are not so easy to match...
I really had the feeling that orange, purple and red would go well together.

Eureka! ***retro-blogging***

I bought this dress last summer and I couldn't figure out a good way to wear it : I did like this and like that... and none of the solutions suited me.

But with the help of my magical red belt, I can say : Eureka! The dress has a fabric panel on the front that gives a floppy aspect, and the belt helps to structure the line.

I also realised I can't wear it without a skirt, since it is too short for me.

One shouder experience ***retro-blogging***

Woowwww...
I've been away quite a long time now and I do have some outfit pictures I took during the last 2 months, piling up in my harddrive..
They are screaming to be freed, so I couldn't resist adding them to my blog before going back to normal posting.

I don't know if it is "blog orthodox" but I have decided to ***retro-blog*** those outfits. It will be indicate in the title of the post to prevent from confusion...

I hope I'll update everything before posting my new exciting new fall clothes..

So, here I go....

This is the One shoulder dress from Asos I bought this summer.
The bottom is comfortable, it is a double draped skirt, so it doesn't stick too much to the belly.

But the top is a bit loose for my chest (which can not be considered small though...)
The strap keeps falling from the shoulder and the back keeps revealing the bra.
I had to be very careful all day long. One solution might be to shorten the strap.

Nevertheless, it is a very nice summer dress, that can be dressed down with a little cardigan or bolero.
I might consider how to "winterise" it soon.

Here is the second casual top I bought in New Look in Lille this week-end.
It is pretty simple too, red and white strips with a little ruffle on the front...

In my new Asos package, I received this grey pencil dress..it fits a little better than the red dress from yesterday, although it is the same size...

The lenght is also a bit too short.
I added this large red belt to pimp the dress up.

It will do a perfect mid season outfit!
