March edits

I have not been home most of March,
so my edits have been kind of scarce.


But, I have been able to get rid of some belts.



Seven belts in total, most of these are worn out or just in bad shape.


Plus, they are taking precious space in my closet.

I continue to slowly edit the closet.

A necklace

A dress and many necklaces to chose from.

Forever 21 pleated pink dress - Moleca black suede shoes 

So the dilemma: which one would you pick ?


I wore the dress twice, so i wore two of them...

Same-o

Same as yesterday.
Well almost.

GAP jeans - H&M brown belt - Danskin black t shirt - Kenneth Cole brown shoes

I had the high hopes of sleeping in today..
that is until the phone rang.

Friday finally

I had been waiting for this day...
Jeans Liz Claiborne - Black t shirt Danskin -
Camouflage belt Zara - Black shoes Aerosoles
it's finally friday.
Just what I wanted,
a weekend - so I could *wink* rest.

Out of the suitcase

Even though I am back home...

Blue trousers Jones New York - Blue striped top Polo Ralph Lauren - Black flats Jessica Simpson - Blue vintage scarf

I am still living out of the suitcase I packed
three weeks ago.

Acrylic pairings

It's my first day back in the office after a little
over two weeks.

Red jeans Sweetheart Old Navy - Grey top Zara - Grey suede flats Zara
I decided to wear something simple and comfortable.


But chose to add some accessories.


It was with two items made of acrylic:
a monogram necklace and a Mafalda cartoon cuff.


Coincidentally they're both acrylic and 
 were recent additions to my closet.

Almost home

Today is my last training.

Pleated dress Forever 21 - Black suede shoes Moleca

I will then, be only one flight away from home.


Even though I will spend half of my day in that flight,
I am just looking forward to it.

Pearl necklace Zara

Hopefully I will have an empty seat next to me.

Variations

I have been wearing variations of the same outfit.

Black trousers H&M - Black button down shirt Da Moda
Over and over...

Grey top Zara 
These were outfits to go vintage shop hunting, flea market hopping 
and antique market browsing...  

Red blouse Forever 21 
All of which were quite successful.

Evita and Testino

One of my favourite things during long work trips are weekends.

Museo Evita
No matter how tired I am, I try to make the most of it.

Black trousers H&M - Black button down shirt Da Moda -
Black flats Vera Wang Lavender - Vintage scarf
I usually work my way around having my weekends in Buenos Aires.
There is always something to do.

Bench at the MALBA
This time around, I chose two main places to visit.


The Evita Museum and the "In your face" 
photograph exhibit by Mario Testino at the MALBA
(Museum of Latin American Art of Buenos Aires)



I walked to both places, which took me about an hour, 
which was well spent as I admired all the magnificent
buildings on the way… they remind me of Paris. 


Buenos Aires never disappoints.



Continues to be one of my very favourites.




Buenos Aires meeting

I am half way through my trip.

Pink pleated dress Forever 21 - Black suede shoes Moleca

It's already been over ten days since I left home.


I am still Buenos Aires for an important meeting.

I am looking forward to the weekend :)
