Giving in the cape fever

I was very tempted by the Kaki cape from Asos since I first saw it on their website.. Then la pocket rocket did a nice outfit post and was even more tempted.

I waited for a while to get a little bargain and here it is... I was a bit disappointed by the warmth of this cape because on the website, it looked much more thick. In the end, it is more of a in-between seasons clothe.

Today I wear it with a very simple and automnish outfit, with my chocolate necklace and my eclairs earrings.

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.

the magic red belt ***retro-blogging***

Dorothy had her red slippers, I think I've found my magical red accessory.

I bought this vynil red belt for a reasonable price on ebay and it has saved so many of my outfits...
When I buckle it, it immediately pimps the outfit and structures my figure.

Today, I combine a simple sequin t shirt with my beloved tulip skirt and tadam... the red belt does the trick!

swallow tube!

Here is one more recent piece of clothes I received recently...

It's a jersey tube, they even call it a boobtube at Dorothy Perkins
It's a 22 and it's a bit loose.
I'm not so sure it fits the breast really well, it's a rather casual summer top...

skirt : Yours (altered size 24)
mustache necklace : Tatty Devine
shoes : don't remember

sequin top

On this fresh summer day, I went for a rather vanilla look, with a little sequin on the top and the headband...

New Asos order

Ok, I have to admit... I'm becoming obsessed with the Asos Curve collection... I don't know why, they really develop a good range of clothes..and it is pretty affordable, compared to ugly plus size collection you can find in France...

the big minuses :
- you can't rely on the size chart... I oscillate between a 22 and a 26... and sometimes a 22 is to big
- the short dress are way too short, they are most of the time just tunics or tops, you have to wear them with a skirt or a trousers. I prefer the knee length of Evans but the pattern are not so cute..

here is the perfect illustration : this is me in the red dress... wow... not flattering at all, too short and too tight




I combined it with the black tulip skirt from Yours, then it is wearable....






I also really enjoy the Asos shoe and accessories collection... The shoes are comfortable and the accessories are so kawai!

Color feast!

Here it is... One more piece from my last Asos order.

I had my eyes on this dress for a long time and was also waiting a discount code to get it. Lots of fatshion bloggers also bought it and reviewed it.

I was a bit disappointed at first by the quality of the fabric : it is very light and synthetic.
But I really love the pattern mixing black and white dots and very saturated floral.

Also the waist is really high..so high that it doesn't look good without a belt.



I don't think I should wear it without belt or short pants...

belt: Yours
short tights : I don't remember where I got them..
platform shoes : André (size 41.. with an extra sole...)

Air Office

I'm working at home those days and I try to at least dress in the morning to really get the feeling of "going at work"... instead I just basically go to the other room.

I did a new Asos order this monday, which arrived really quickly (thursday afternoon.) It seems incredibly efficient to me.
I used the good deal page from Letilor's blog... it is a gold mine. I got a 15% discount for my order at Asos...

Today, I'm showing the new red wegdes and the new black cardigan. The rest will be shown in the coming days... Yummy....





This cardigan is really perfect for mid seasons and shitty june weather like today.





The red wedges are comfortable and light.

Also since this week end, I started a vide dressing in the VLR website... I'm cleaning my closets, and letting go the clothes I'm not wearing anymore..
