Remix Outfit nos. 6 & 7: Indian milkmaid

 As I promised, today we have two outfits - no. 6 was boring. Just take a note of the teal jacket, another piece I've had for ages. I don't wear it much, the material is a bit difficult, I can never tell when it is good to wear it, as it feels like a light jacket, but I always perspire in it...
Top 10 item: White tee

Outfit: 

teal jacket, Colours of the World, 

white t-shirt, thrifted, 

grey pants, thrifted, 

black Chelsea boots, Bata, 

black bucket bag, off-brand, 

necklace, off-brand

Now to the good outfit. Meet my superb poncho! 10 years in my closet and still perfect for Spring days.I really thought of making the outfit all about the boots, as they are included in my top 10 list, but I just couldn't resist the poncho, it just fell of the hanger for me...  As for the drawstring bag, I intended to sell it on Vinted but seeing how great it looks I decided to keep it. Also, it's real leather and in great state, so... And finally, the head. Literally. Milkmaid braid takes some time to make but it looks great on longer hair  (I was actually complimented today by a cashier), is not worn very often in Czech Republic so the chances are you won't meet anyone with the same hairstyle and it conceals the fact that you haven't washed your hair for five days. Glasses. Lennon sunglasses. You can't imagine how difficult it was to find a pair that would look good on me, I mean, round sunglasses, what's the deal? So when I came across these, I was tempted to buy all remaining pieces, in case I break them or lose them. I didn't and thus I hope these will last forever.

Anna's little helpers

I must say that sometimes when writing an outfit post, I get kind of lost in the translation. I mean, there are so many kinds of shoes and necklines and sleeves and bags! We don't use that many names for these! But, luckily, I'm not the only one having trouble recognising difference between stuff... So it is quite easy to find out a list with pictures attached so I won't be lost but a bit confused instead. So let's have a look at those I use the most.
First the shoes, necklines, sleeves and pants. Quite easy to deal with.

Feeling dizzy already? Now the tricky part. Dress and bags. See, the bags names are not the same all the time. For example the Satchel bag. Or the bucket bag: I just don't get it, why are they named differently in each list? Nevermind, I found two lists with nice pictures. Dresses have similar problem, different naming and no list has all types. So again, two pictures needed. None of them has mermaid dress however, but I believe that there was enough of mermaid dresses, they are everywhere in the rentals, at the proms and balls and they are not flattering at all! I mean you need to have a perfect figure to look good in these and I'd ban them, but that is none of my business. Wear what you want. 

So I hope these have been helpful and I hope you like seeing all these in one place. I do, I won't have to google it every time I feel confused. Next time I might talk about having troubles with colours and their names. By the way, did you see blue and black or white and gold dress?

Shopping update: March 2015

I do realize it is April already, but I didn't sum up my purchases from last month, so here we go. I promise, there will be some in April too (and this time I might make it in April, not the following month). I'm taking a break from the Top 10 Remix Challenge. Not that I cheated or anything, but the weather was just weird yesterday and my outfit is not very cool and inspiring, I'm hoping you'll like today's outfit - if and when I will be able to taky a photo of it.
So, here we go:

grey jacket, white tee, navy pencil skirt, all thrifted; grey-blue t-shirt, Esmara

 First a bit of monochrome. I needed the Esmara tee just because, I loved the material and the scoop neckline so I got it. There is never enough white t-shirts and this one has that pretty ornament on it! I really needed another pencil skirt so it was a planned purchase, I was just lucky to have found it in a second-hand store. The jacket cost me like 50¢, it was hidden in the children's section and I totally needed it.

blue and camel cardigan, yellow tee, yellow pants, all thrifted; leopard necklace, Kik; pearl ring, Gate

The monochrome needed some sunshine, so I decided to get some yellow stuff (there's just one colour I don't wear and that's orange, although I didn't wear much yellow either). The t-shirt looks pretty good on me, even though it has no real sleeves and It does make my arms look fat. So I usually hide them in a cardigan and problem solved! Both cardigans in the picture look great with the tee, especially the long camel one. It is acrylic, but I still love it. I've been looking for one for some time. The blue one on the other hand replaced my former blue cardigan (I don't need two of them). The yellow thing in the bottom right corner used to be a maxi skirt. After a lot of sewing and stitching removal I got angry, as the material is really stupid and it just kept creasing. So I gave up on the sewing machine this time and just handsew it. And even thoug it is still not perfect, it looks much better as pants on me. The necklace was almost free (3 CZK is 12¢, that's basically free) and the ring was the cutest and also really cheap. Two things are not in the picture but in the washing machine - two striped tees I purchased at the beginning of the month and totally forgot about them. But! you can see one of them here. Yes, I did shop a lot this month, but on my defense, these items altogether cost less money than the Anna Smith bag from last month!

Remix Outfit no. 5: Easter Sunday

 Easter should be a very festive and very Spring holiday. Not this year. We've had snow, rain, snow-rain, fog, a tiny bit of sunlight... So I was in no mood for dressing up in bright colours. Also, this is the outfit for Sunday family lunch, so I am allowed to dress a bit formal. I didn't want it to be all black 'n' grey, that's why I chose the bright blue necklace (which I got from a friend at the age of 13 - she was just a year older and had no idea what she's giving me).

Remix Outfit no.4: Tender is the day

Lately I've been into neutrals, light colours, I finally got used to wearing white, beige and other light colours - pink in this case. I don't have many pink items, in fact, I used to have none, when I had the rock and metal era. Now I love all the colours and wear most of them (orange doesn't work well with my hair). And the blue-green-pink combination feels just right...
