There's also a weather issue involved in this outfit, something like 'How to keep on wearing your summer clothes when weather is not being collaborative?'. Well, I'll share my (totally surprising) tip: layers!, lots of them!. I worn a big shawl-scarf over summery clothes, in a chilly morning (12ºC/53ºF) and I walked to work feeling very comfortable and warm. If weather keeps on playing this game, I would wear my winter jackets over sundresses, tights with my sandals, and would mix lots of seasonal pieces!. Probably it would still be some hot days, but autumn is coming!
And I'm linking Fake It Until You Make It, which shares lots of inspiration!
Creo que, siendo una mujer madura, y debería ser suficientemente
También está el asunto climático, que podría titularse: ¿Cómo seguir llevando ropa de verano cuando el tiempo no acompaña?. Bueno, yo tengo mi truco (totalmente nuevo y sorprendente!): capas y capas superpuestas!. Me eché esta enorme bufa-manta por encima de mi ropa de verano, en una mañana bien fresquita (12ºC) y me eché a la calle tan cómoda y a gusto. Si el tiempo sigue jugando a este juego, me voy a poner chaquetas de invierno encima de vestidos ligeros, medias con sandalias y montones de otras mezclas estacionales. Seguramente queden todavía días de calor, pero el otoño ya está cerca!
Y enlazo a la pandilla de Fake It Until You Make It, que comparte un montón de inspiración!
Thank you so much for linking up this post!
ResponderEliminarI LOVE your layering.
I think the dress is very flattering over the wide trousers because it is nipped in at the bust.
It looks fabulous!
The mixture of patterns is "on point".... beautiful and vibrant as always!

Why do we feel we need to apologise for being not the thinnest we can be?
ResponderEliminarI think your outfit is glorious! And so celebratory of black and white.
Layering is the best! ( I just mistyped that as "vest"... Yes layering is the vest as well! Ha ha!)

Oh yes, I agree with you, no need to apologise for our fashion choices, for our own style/personality/aspect. Never!
EliminarAnd yes, layering is the vest as well! ;DDDD
Love your look in these pictures.
ResponderEliminarI'm with Samantha. I like the wide legs with this dress. And I love how you're going to get your summer pieces working into cool weather. Yes! The red pendant is perfect with this.
ResponderEliminarCharming outfit (polka dots and checks ❤️) AND flattering. The tunic is adorable and the empire waist accents your hourglass figure. Also love the long cardigan and the scarf.
ResponderEliminarI just knew that everyone would tell you that it in fact IS flattering! :) I am glad that they do, and I am with them too! You are such a master of layers - I think you did this brilliantly, everything here works together so well: the shapes, the patterns, the color scheme... Maybe in a different color scheme or with solid pieces, it wouldn't be flattering, But here, it totally is!
ResponderEliminarAt the same time, I know what you mean and I support your message. We don't owe to anyone to wear only what flatter our bodies. We can be creative and free, and some outfits hide our best assets, so what? There are other ideas behind clothes too, not only to flatter our bodies.
I really like the pattern mixing and the dress-over-pants look. I don't always wear what is most flattering to my shape either. Sometimes I just really love how something feels, or the colour, and I'll wear it even though it may not be the best choice for my shape.

ResponderEliminarI like this outfit Monica! I think it's very flattering on you because layering is fabulous, mixing prints/pattern is fabulous and your shawl and accessories are wonderful. I would describe this look as very, very interesting; if I didn't know you and saw you on the street I would think to myself 'that is a very interesting and fun looking person'.

Pattern mixing and layering like a pro! I love the shape of that dress with the wide pants! xxx
ResponderEliminarI do that too - sometimes I don't always wear the most flattering shapes together or even solo. I love these wonderful patterns!
ResponderEliminarNothing unflattering about this outfit in my book! I love how you've played with the different patterns, creating a black and white symphony! Besos xxx
ResponderEliminarWonderful outfit! I am very much in favour of non-flattering outfits whenever one fancies.
