Shopping spree or enjoying the sales

 BLACK SKINNY JEANS I did it. I bought my first skinny jeans yesterday.  The price was 29.95, with a discount of ten euros, so I paid 19.95 euros because we are still on sales in Madrid. I´ve always thought skinny jeans were not for me, not for my size or body shape,  but when I tried them they fitted me perfectly. Incredible.  I bougt them high-rise "talle alto" so they cover my stomach and in black colour with very subtle stioed texture in the fabric. They were in H&M just waiting for me. LOOK 1: pairing them  with high heels and  Promod White tunic  with tiger and vértigo high heels LOOK 2: pairing them  with a Promod camo trench and  a Mango animal print scarf DENIM JACKET I also bought a denim jacket, size 46 in H&M, 34, 95 euros,  not a reduced price because it belonged to the spring-summer collection.  I just remembered having owned a...

What is vintage clothing?

How do we know if something is just old or vintage ? What can be considered as vintage clothing? Which pieces? VINTAGE CLOTHING:   Vintage clothing is a generic term for new or second hand garments originating from a previous era. The phrase is also used in connection with a retail outlet, e.g. "vintage clothing store." from Wikipedia Generally speaking, clothing which was produced before the 1920s is referred to as antique clothing and clothing from the 1920s to 20 years before the present day is considered vintage. [ citation needed ] Retro, short for retrospective, or "vintage style" usually refers to clothing that imitates the style of a previous era. Reproduction, or repro, clothing is a newly-made, copy of an older garment. Clothing produced more recently is usually called modern or contemporary fashion. Opinions vary on these definitions. Most vintage clothing has been previously worn, but a small percentage of pieces have not. These are ofte...

Ayer me apunté a un gimnasio, trimestre y medio mes por 204 euros. He decidido que tengo que actuar y necesito ayuda.  Después de una temporada en que la rutina de andar tampoco  se cumplía he decidido hacer nuevos ajustes. Cada día tengo que conseguir sudar más y moverme más. Hoy he visitado a una amiga y me he dado un buen paseo de media hora. Ahora estoy sentada porque he hecho una parada en mis correcciones de exámenes pero tenía que poner en mi blog que voy a Basic Gym y que ya no soy la misma de hace una semana. Me voy a estirar y vuelta a la tarea. Vuelvo a recuperar el recuerdo corporal e interno de lo bien que te sientes cuando te mueves. Todos mis recuerdos de haber hecho ejercicio  y disfrutado vuelven a mí. Estoy cambiando y me gusta. Me sentí bien haciendo algo de ejercicio e incluso sentí que tenía más energía. Es difícil de explicar pero es como si mis músculos me lo agradecieran.

Being overweight doesn't mean that you have to dress poorly. Having a decent first impression, even if you don't have the best body. Accept your body for what it is right now.   Never this combination: the faux fur waistcoast adds width to your body. If you like fake fur pieces, wear a hat or buy a furry hand bag. Even if you want to lose weight, make peace  with your current size and move forward from here. Layering is more for skinny girls but it is possible to hide parts of your body if you combine the proper fabric. The next photo is from the Man Repeller. I like her blog. From her looks I admire how she experiments  with bizarre combinations and how she looks free and happy wearing them. While it is good to pursue a healthier lifestyle, focusing completely on your weight can lead  to depression, and depression doesn't motivate changes (at least not healthy ones). Wear clothes that f...
