Lately I’ve been really trying to find different ways to style, basically the same pieces from my closet, and I end up relying on last minute’s inspiration (since I have decreased my purchases to 1-2 pieces per season). The results are either on the much casual side, like you’ve seen here and here, or on the dressy ladylike chic style I usually prefer, like on this post, and this one. Either way, I’ve liked the result, and I must say that I have even surprised myself, with creating outfits with the same old pieces. Being a personal style blogger, and showing 3 outfits per week, is not easy, if you don’t shop new pieces to refresh your wardrobe and style your clothes in different ways, in order for them not to look the same all the time. And I’m definitely proud of myself for not being a victim of consumerism, in the middle of the crisis, and for choosing to spend my money on more pressing and important things. So ladies, if you can’t buy new things, for any reason, don’t feel bad; just take a look at all your clothes really carefully, and find hidden treasures in the bottom of your closet, that you might have not worn in years, but can now refresh your style without breaking the bank. Like this shirt, that I’ve had since secondary school, and haven’t worn in years, and that beanie that once belonged to my brother. Brought together to give a fresh note to my old striped dress you’ve seen before, this time belted, and paired with over-the-knee socks giving a Parisian air to the look. I hope you enjoy it!

Mini dresses & sunsets | Outfits
Hello, hello! I’m back with a fresh new outfit post. And freshly dyed copper red hair again! Of course these photos were taken a couple of weeks ago, so the color is not that fresh now, but you get the point. Back then they were fresh from the hairdresser, and so was their trim and blow-dry/straightening. Wish I could straighten them like this by myself. They look so pretty and long like this. To the outfit now… This dress is old, but I don’t think I’ve ever worn it on the blog. It has puffy shoulders, but it makes a nice contrast with the rest of the dress so I don’t mind. Worn here with my minimal coat (it’s a thin one for spring/autumn), my trusty Kelly look-alike bag and my cork pumps. In other news I got bitten by tens of mosquitos again that day. I should really stop going to such places for photos. The sunset was pretty though.

Nice and warm for a snowy day | Outfits
On Sunday afternoon, I was going to meet T. and we had already planned to take some outfit photos for the blog before we do anything else. On Sunday morning however, I woke up to snow and really cold weather. When I say snow, I don’t mean a picturesque image where everything is white; just imagine snowflakes, and REALLY cold weather (especially if you consider that a few days ago, it felt like spring). Since we already had planned it, we layered up and went out for photos anyway. Even though I was super cold and I couldn’t take my coat off to show you my dress properly, I really enjoyed our little photo shoot. T. was making me laugh so much that I almost forgot how cold it was. His idea was to call this post “the last one before T. broke up with me”, because I made him take photos while it was snowing, and he also suggested I write, that I wasn’t wearing any lipstick, and that my lips were purple because of the cold. hehehe I can happily report back to you, that he didn’t actually break up with me (phew! Thanks babe) and that we spent the next days together, cozying up in warm clothes, and blankets, while watching movies, and stuffing ourselves with delicious, yet fattening food. Thank you so much for reading this huge post. I hope you enjoy the photos! 😉

Behind the sunglasses | The real me
After taking the decision of revealing my name to you, I had some long discussions with my blogger friends, boyfriend and family (separately of course), about the possibility of revealing my face to you, without the sunglasses. It was always something that I had on my mind, but I kept postponing till the day I thought I would be ready for it. Well, that day has not come, and I don’t think that it ever will. So after these discussions, I decided to take the plunge and go for it, ready or not! There’s not a better time than the present!

My month in pics | November 2013
November was again an eventful month, during which I met up many times with my blogger friends. These meetings are becoming pretty regular and I’m loving it. Plus it gives T. a break from our normal outfit photos, although I love these too. This month I have many favorite outfits, and I want to highlight them properly, so check out their links below to read the full posts, and see more photos of them. My faves are no. 3, 4 and 6. But no. 2 was also favorite because I loved the photoshoot location. Apart from my usual outfit posts, and everything else that happened in my life (that you can see by checking out my instargam pics below) is that I finally revealed my name to you! So if you haven’t heard the news, or if you haven’t already read that post, make sure to head over there to do so. It’s a huge step for me, and I’m just glad that it’s finally out there. I feel liberated! So which is your favorite outfit of the month?
