Easy outfit

 

First of all I want to hear your applause cause I managed the walking pose. Every fashion blogger who respects herself has a photo where she walks or jumps or sits!!!
Well, today I definitely wanted to wear my super easy obi belt ,see tutorial here,so I worked with similar colors like the green  necklace  and cobalt blue sweater. I did add some purple to bring more interest into the outfit.All in all it was an easy,comfortable outfit that I plan to wear again and again!!!

When I first moved in the new house I felt uneasy for a couple of weeks and this had an impact in my closet and the way I dressed. My closet was not organised and the clothes were not all washed and ironed back in their place .On top of that the closet is new and I was not familiar with the selves and what goes where .As a result I didn't have an overall look of what I own.
I 'm saying all this because I realised that the less control I had over my closet the more confused I was about other aspects of my life!
I was over the top surprised when I realised that many times I had felt worried or out of balance in my old house I would open my closet , take a look at how neat and well organised everything was and I felt instantly self confident and  ready for the challenge ahead!
Have you ever felt so...close to your closet or am I losing it? Do you feel more in control when your closet is organised?
Excusez moi while experimenting with my camera yet again (with no great results).
My outfit is inspired by a fellow blogger but I don't recall who to give her credits!(sorry).I wanted to wear this loud dress and I like the black on top and on my feet. I even did the boots and socks combo but I'm not sure I like the result.On the whole this outfit was comfortable and served me well on a busy day at school!!!

 

Like all things in life I only want what I don't have and now that the challenge 30 for 30 is over I feel so lost in the morning!

I'm suddenly  free to choose from all the contents in my wardrobe and I...'m standing there unable to make a choice!

I was craving for variety and free choice and now that I have it and I don't know what to do with it!
Shall I call the therapist and make an appointment? Hell , no! I will just take a deep breath, I won't give my thoughts more credit and I will come up with an outfit like the one I'm wearing!
I'm developing a special connection to anything stripe-y and plaids. So plaids it is for this casual outfit that took me throught a very busy but full of familly bliss day!!!
Have you ever experienced a similar  fear of freedom? Do you take your own thoughts seriously most of the time?Are you brave and do things even if you don't know how they will turn out?...Good!!!
I go now check on the dishes (no one else does in my house) and I will read on your responses later!!! Have fun!!!

Finito Outfit #30#

My last outfit was styled around this pretty obi belt. It's an obi belt I easily made myself! I thought of it myself but I'm sure others must have thought of it as well. It's super easy!
I bought two ties very cheap although made of pure silk .
The evidence

Then I put one end over the other to make one piece

And I stich (machine or hand stich)  as shown. I'm sure you get the picture.It's not brain surgery .

So how about making your own in any combination possible and let  me know. As for me ...no more challenges for the moment!!!

Getting there Outfit #29#

I used to be a quitter. Quitter was my middle name.Then, I got married and had children and quitting was not an option anymore. Plus I had to be a positive role model for my kids.
What I'm trying to say is that today I'm mostly happy for the fact that I made it to 29 than for my improvement in style (if there was any)!!!
Have you also struggled with feelings of quitting during the challenge? Have you lost your inspiration? Is it a permanent loss?

Revelations plus a bonus Outfit #27# and #28#

Basically I'm a skirts and dresses kind of woman but today I want to reveal that when the temperature falls all I can think of is trousers.They are super warm and work well with  my boots.
Another thing I want to reveal about this outfit is that in a desperate attempt to hide the 3 kilos I got over the holidays I stressed the area around my neck with a scarf and...a necklace!
All wandering eyes will be punished!!!

Wait , there is more to reveal today...While checking my photos to make a collage I came across the above outfit that I forgot to post.God must be happy with me for reasons unknown to me.This bonus outfit is my typical style embellished with one of my favorite necklaces.
And for the finale you can get a glimpse of my old and my new backyard. I like how similar they look .
On the whole, we have made enough memories in our new house during the holidays so we can call  it home. Have a great wintery weekend!!!

The great come back!!! Outfits #24# #25# #26#

 

Oh  God !I am sooo happy to be back in blogosphere. Blogging has made my life so much richer the last year  but I hadn't realised how much until I lost it for about a month!!!

Now, don't get me wrong. I didn't spend the entire time feeling depressed or uneasy . After all , I had a family to take care of and make sure  they feel warm and comfortable and happy in their new home!

But as soon as I got internet connection again and started surfing my favorite blogs it was like meeting people I know and hadn't seen for a long time!!!

Right there in the middle of my living room there goes a parade  of nice , supporting  , stylish people again that make my everyday life  more interesting and glamorous!!!

On to the actual outfits now ,I'm probably the last one to finish the 30 for 30 challenge. To be honest I'm very much challenged because I have no idea what to wear next .I've been looking at the same clothes in my closet for more than a month and ...I need inspiration!!!

Is there something you want to see more of? A color combination maybe? My face? I bet you do but no.

I'm looking forward to checking all the blogs and commenting,check what you are up to.

Color and layers Outfit #22# and #23#

Thanks for all your sweet comments and encouragement for my move! I  can post a few outfits  because it is still the calm before the storm period!
It got suddenly very cold in Greece.In one day we got a temperature drop up to 20 degrees in some parts of the country.
On my second outfit I outdid myself. Just count the layers...turtlrneck+dress+silk blouse+cardigan=comfort(to my surprise) and wormth.
About my first outfit I hope you get a good glimpse of the pattern of the skirt! It's unusual and very 70s!!!
That's all for now. I better go back packing!!!

On the move

For reasons not of this post  to explain I have to make a move of 5 people in 4 days out of the house we lived in for 12years.All I have to say is that we do this for the better, so no worries!!!
My posts will be infrequent and the challenge will be delayed.Wish me luck cause I don't know where to start packing!!!
On with the challenge now. What I can say for these 8 outfits is that I finally have one official pose that I sport in 6 out of the 8 outfits!
My one and only pair of pants was torn in all the wrong places so I must go on with skirts and dresses only.
My last observation is that I totally love scarves or else I wouldn't wear one every day!!!

This is the first photo for my blog ever and it was taken a year ago next to my kitchen sink!What I'm trying to say is that this is my blog's first birthday!!!
Thinking back it has been a full year and my blog was a good company and a so much needed creative outlet.
It was a lonely journey for the most part but the last couple of months I met so many beautiful bloggers that it was worth the wait!!!

I only hope to be as blessed as I'm now to keep on blogging for many years.

It's all in the styling Outfit#21#

Thanks for all the comments of yesterday! I don't feel strange anymore and the dress  stays in my closet!
On to today's outfit now because I know your time is precious! I bought this cardi on a local market in very low price because I thought of it as a stylistic challenge! You see, it's a granny's cardigan and I've seen one or two older lady's wear it ever since
Again, I liked the pattern so much and I 'm a strong beleiver that I can wear anything because it's all in the styling! It doesn't matter what you wear it's how you style it!!!
Tell me does it look like  granny or not?(I've only good feelings about the grannys all over the world,it's the style I'm talking about!)

Wear it anyway... Outfit #20#

Has it ever happened to you to go shopping and bring back home something of poor quality or wrongly made and then wonder why on earth you didn't notice while in the shop? This is exactly what happened with this dress.I was blinded by the color and the pattern and didn't notice the uneven hem . Nevertheless, I like it so much that i wear it anyway. Please tell me that you had buys like that so that I feel a little better and not a  complete fool.

Cure for the winter blues Outfit #19#

 I bought this piece of cloth in the summer to cover myself on the beach , it's sort of a sarong! But it has such great cheerful pattern and bright colors that I had no choice but to incorporate it in my winter wardrobe!!! I wore it at school today covered by my cardi and fond memories of the summer holidays filled my heart. I could almost smell the coconut oil!!!

Vintage love Outfit#18#

I love the vintage-y quality this outfit brings! I haven't realised it until saw the photos! The blouse and skirt are from the 70s but the shoes and flower are new. Still they convey something romantic and old!

Which one is it ...doctor Outfit #17#

 Classy has never been so easy! It's all about skirts... even with wrinkles!

 Belts help but let's not repeat ourselves!

But I hope that I'm allowed to say how much I love this scarf!
I 'm half way through this challenge and I've scared myself a couple of times because I'm planning the next set of 30 items to wear  .Is it some serious disorder or just practicality?
