Layering in the Sun

With fall nearing to an end and winter approaching, I think back at layering fashion in the cold. Living on an island with a 30*C average, it is very unlikely to layer. However I figured a fun different way to wear items I already own, is to layer.

Now you could always throw on a khaki trench coat (like "this" or "this") and a pair of chelsea boots. For now I will stick to my sandals and imagine what I would have worn if still living in a four season country.

Asymmetrical Knot

 Get your self something asymmetrical-knotted-tied-front this season. Inspired by designer Helmut Lang. It is a design that flatters most body types.

Reinvent your closet; How to wear something old, this season

So I have been reinventing my clothes, always finding new ways to wear things you already own. This upcoming season you will see lots of sleeveless vests. I have had this little number for years, here on the tropical island you can wear it as a top. Instead of wearing it open, layered on top, you close it, worn on a midi skirt.

And what about a bustier you have had laying in the closet since last summer. Layer is with a simple white tee or if you dare even with a graphic tee, wear it with boyfriend jeans and sneakers for a laid back look or with a midi skirt and strap heels for more dressier look.

How would you wear old staple pieces this season?

All around Gingham

 It has been a few weeks since I made an appearance on the blog. Seasons are changing, but Curaçao remains the same. I have been finding myself with a struggle to follow seasonal trends on island weather, however it is possible. A print that you will see a lot this fall and even next spring, is Gingham. Also Mod/60's style is coming this fall. When buying a piece in the seasons transitions, make sure you can get optimal use out of it. An A-line dress is simple yet versatile. It has a mod vibe going on and it is super simple to layer, wear a shirt underneath, pair it with a cropped blazer and maybe some wooly tights. Wear them with superga sneakers, Chelsea boots or clog style heels that you may wear with wooly socks when it gets colder. One dress, so many options! If only the weather allowed me to layer, wool and boots. 

Happy Weekend!

3 Ways; Denim, Denim, Denim

Since I have moved down to the island, I can count on one hand how often I have worn jeans. However there are more ways to wear denim. It does give a casual touch, but may be worn more than just in the weekend.

Wear a denim strap dress, layered over a t-shirt or frilly top. Dress it down with trending lace-up sandals or dress it up with wedges or clog-style heels.

Last days of summer, wear denim espadrilles with a white eyelet dress. You may also opt for denim loafers or sneakers for fall (like "these").

Espadrilles; Bamboo (similar styles "here", "here" and "here")

For a feminine style knot a button-down chambray top and wear it with a midi skirt.

What's favorite way to wear denim??

1 Playsuit, 3 Ways

One playsuit, three ways, this shows how versatile one piece of clothing can be. Make it a sporty look by wearing slip-on sneaks, and a trendy bucket bag. Make it a total different outfit by wearing a skirt, using the upper half as top. Dress it up for night time by accessorizing with a belt and ankle-strap block heels.

Pick a look, any look all would work out sometime this weekend!

Summer Sunshine

Yellow is the color of the summer. It is bright and a happy color, even if your summers day isn't that shiny.

Paired with a lace top and straw accessories completes the summer look.

Bloom

One of the most comfortable summer things are wide legged pants or culottes (a shorter, calf length wide-legged pant). Wear it with a breezy crochet or lace crop top and your ready to take the summer-time weekend!
