Helloooooo buns!! Welcome!

I know I haven't posted for a long time now BUT I'm here today with a new dress! The Neon Pumps Project is still on and I have 3 more outfits to come during the next few weeks (I'm still waiting for them to be delivered).

So let me remind you that the event, for which I started the Project at the first place, is taking place at the end of the June! So I pretty much have four weeks to choose THE dress to match my Irregular Choice Neon Glitter Pumps AND accessorize the outfit AND take pictures for you to see!

With all that said, I present you the next dress that caught my eye and I love its design. The Kimono Dress!

The Kimono Dress by Weekday

So this dress comes from WEEKDAY 

I actually found it in their store in Mariahilferstrasse. I visit the shop often so when I saw this dress - which was on sales!- I fell in love with its colors and the way it fits. I got size L and its good. I couuuuuuld size up but L is their bigger size. The purple glitter shocks that I wear in the first picture are also by WEEKDAY and they have them in many colors. I like the purple cause it is kinda binding the dress to the shoes. Let's point out that Stergios didn't like the lenght of the shocks, or the color contrast...something was off there for him anyway hahaha.

The Kimono Dress by Weekday & lime shocks by Monki

I was obsessed though with the idea of wearing this dress and shoes with shocks and I bought few different patterns to try. So apart the WEEKDAY purple shocks I also got these pairs by Monki. The animal print and the lime shocks where in promotion you get 3 pairs and you pay 2 so I also got some other designs for future use into other outfits. What do you think of the combination? (Btw, Stergios prefered the lime ones by far).

Ok I got the dress, I had the socks, and I needed the accessories! So let me tell you a little backstage story.

At first, I was looking for a specifiq hairpiece by Zara, the Rhinestone hair clip, but I couldn't find it in their shop and I didn't have the time to get it online and wait for it to arrive, so I had to go with a plan B, earrings.

I also found these Diamond Toucan earrings at Zara which I liked at the moment but they were kinda BIG and I thought that if I don't find something else I would probably get them, get my hair in a bun or something so you can see them etc.

So after wandering to the shops I got into Bijou Brigitte at Mariahilferstrasse, and I couldn't find a hairpiece similar to Zara's one buuut I found the earrings for the outfit.I have to say, I loooove these earrings. They have lots of variations and similar designs in their website,  Bijou Brigitte if you want to check it.

What I love about my earrings is how the sunlight goes through the colored material and reflects the colors on my skin.You can see that in the pictures, a great combination to the sunny day and the outfit!

Bottom line I love this dress. I am definatelly gonna wear it a lot. I bought this Play Net Dress by WEEKDAY, so I wear it underneath this kimono dress because whenever I sit in a chair my thighs sneak out to socialize with my friends 😛 . They have it in white as well, I got the black one. Unfortunatelly I couldn't find my dress in their online shop but I also like these ones, check them out if you are interested. The Layna Dress and the Pedal Dress .

Sooooo, feel free to tell me what you think! I have 3 more outfits for you and I would love to know your thoughts so far! You can always comment here below the post or on my Instagram page!

How I match my Irregular Choice shoes to an H&M wrap-front Dress!

Helloooooo buns! Welcome!

Today I'm gonna show you the first dress that caught my eye. Yay! This is a wrap dress from H&M.

before the photoshoot 😛

When I saw this  casual wrap-front dress having this simple pattern, simple geometry I believed it will support the Neon Pumps ideally and 'cool down' the 'irregularity' of these shoes. I love wrapped dresses and the Sleepwear Street Fashion and  I also like this color combination, sky blue and neon yellow, it looks fresh to my eyes.Also I imagined this outfit accessorized with some neon jewelries or some fabric decorations which I could sew on the dress (I'm not sure about that yet)  and give a hint of neon yellow details so there is some connection to the shoes.Sooooo now that I have the dress in my hands I have to admit,the dress fitting on me is okish (my size for this one is 50), the front cut is quite airy (sometimes I had to check if I'm flashing people around) and even if this dress feels reaaally comfortable, its fitting was altered while I was moving. Also I've noticed that the fabric wrinkles very easily and I don't think I want that for a special day.

If you are interested in appliques you can find so many online:

(that's just a small amount I found when I was looking for Neon appliques)

Also I think that in case Ι go with this dress I will definately need to accessorize it. While I was searching for accessories I saw these handmade statement jewelries. I love DIY and handmade pieces and I appreciate  creativity.I like those:

 

Also, while trying to find the dress I visited ZALANDO and I spent some time (a lot) there  looking around, and I found these jewelries which I keep in mind for the final outfit.

Take a look on the links below :

 

Weeeeell...While looking at the pictures,I wonder which color would match those shoes.As you can see on the pictures the shoes shine like the sun in a trans parallel universe.Maybe the dress should be also in neon color? Or white? Something blinding as well? If you have any ideas please leave your comments below. I'm open to any suggestions!So, bottom line, I'm not sure if this wrap-front dress will be the one, but I will definately wear it casualy,it's ideal for a spring day!

Helloooooo buns and welcome to my new Project !
Let me tell you what's all this about and why I decided this to be a whole New Project.

The story behind.

  Few months ago (back in 2018) my Best Man texted me the link of those amazing Unicorn Glittery Flats. If you know me at all, you are already aware that I own a small farm of unicorn items in my house (that's a whole another post for you so let's wrap it up here).
I logged in the site in order to check the size availability for those Flats and theeeen...of course I went through the entire collection which was also on sales (you know what this means)!

the box

At this point I have to inform you that it's kinda difficult for me to find a pair of shoes in my size (EU 42,US 11,UK 9) soooo when I found a huge selection of designs on this site I was tempted to buy my Summer Baptism pair of Pumps right there!

" Wait,what? Did she say Summer Baptism Pumps?.. wtf is that?! :> "

 The event. 

Ahh yeah...few more things for you to catch up with...Let me explain.
Back in Greece where I come from I have my Bff from University, Elisabeth, who has two smart, adorable, sweet and round-cheeked babies <3 (that was a heart back in IRC age). I love them!

In 2017 Rafaela was born and I was her (Fairy I believe ) Godmother !
Last year my friend gave birth to our second round cute sweet baby and she asked me to baptize her as well so the girls have the same Godmother. (I'm sooooooo touched from all this love !!).
In case you are not familiar with an Orthodox Baptism let me give you some important, essential details for you to know in order to follow up our little Project.

  • it takes place in a Church
  • there is a Priest who performs the ritual
  • there are lot of guests dressed up and ready for pictures taken
  • it's me -the Fairy Godmother- carrying the babygirl around
  • it's gonna be the end of June in Greece (temperature is approx. around 30+C degrees / 86+F degrees)
  • most of the times if you are not appropriately dressed and 'approved' by the Priest you get to have him complaining / kicking you out / not performing the ritual cause of lack of modesty (oh well)
  • so anything mini, backless, showing off huge amount of cleavage, or anything that the Priest might find 'quite nude' or not 'covered' enough is a no no no.
  • it's an official-ish kind of event.
  • it's gonna take place on a Sunday morning, so the outfit can't be anything 'Grande'.
  • there is usually -especially the last decade- a 'theme' for such kind of events. That means the decoration, the color palette and the style in general are all according to this 'theme'.
  • we haven't decided a theme for this event yet and I don't really know if there is actually gonna be a theme, but we agreed that something summerish and flowery and fresh would be ideal for a summer Sunday morning event.
So, now you know SOME of our Project conditions / factors!

The statement garment.

And without further ado I present you......the SHOES!

Yeah.....I dunno what you think of those, if you like them / hate them / love them / wanna paint them black (please leave your opinion in the comments down below!) but I found this pair of Pumps kinda fresh and sharp and decided this to be the statement piece of my outfit.
The color is definitely bold, neon, (some people refer to it as neon green and some call it neon yellow).There is definitely a lot of glitter, the heel is in a very good height for me because I can't walk on higher heels, and the fitting is amazing -not smaller not larger than the average 42 sizing.

i love the detail

trying to be artistic

is it yellow or green??

The Project.

So now I need to find the appropriate dress for my shoes. Yay!
As you can see by my pictures on the 'Yo' page I am a curvy girl, I got my hair blond-ish recently and I enjoy experimenting with my style. I feel a bit uncomfortable in a preppy dress and I believe my figure looks better in a midi or long hem dress.
So I would go for :
  • a midi or long dress.
  • I would prefer its design to be kinda open on the upper part bust area.
  • and oh, I have a tattoo on my arm which ideally would like to cover during the ritual (so the Priest won't complain or ask me what's all about etc etc).
Why I find this project interesting?
I am curious how many different styles and outfits we could match to those maximalist style shoes.
Also I would like you all to suggest dresses, different styles and forms, or maybe dresses that you are just curious to see how they are paired with those pumps and a curvy girl!

That's how YOU ALL get to play with the 'Barbie the Godmother'  doll.

Sure it's an adventure for me to be a barbie doll and try lots of dresses and find the best style,the best fitting, and the event-appropriate one so I can eventually wear it on this social event of mine.

BUT 

it's even more fascinating to have a dialogue over this theme with all of you, different people,different styles, you all bring your points of view over the subject so we get this Project through.

I have my own style and my comfort zone and this is great but I wonder what if there are other outfits and style combinations waiting for me to discover?

 Be a part of this Project by:

  • sending me links of online shops that you know they try to keep their curvier clients happy 💌.
  • commenting underneath each outfit  🗬
  • suggesting dresses / accessories / hair and make up   😸😺😼😻

LET'S GET THIS PROJECT STARTED!!
