Blue Vintage - Style Never Goes Out of Style

This post will just be about an outftit that I put together by going through my old stuff. And when I say old, this "skirt" is really, really old. This is actually a summer dress that I bought in a street shop in Paris, back in 2011. I never wore it, and when I saw that mid-length skirts were in this Spring, I thought maybe it was her moment.

I have been into recycling old clothes for a while now. Before that, I thought that as a blogger, I should be able to buy new clothes every other week to deliver to my readers. Nonsense! I think the idea is to share useful ideas for people in search of their unique style. Style shouldn't be about having new clothes. And being a student, I thank the heavens for that.
I believe that you can do wonder with a bit of imagination and a few skills at mixing and matching, and this what I try to do now (I still like to go shopping, don't get me wrong).

It was so easy to just throw a denim shirt on it to give it this classy Vintage look. I added some black heels, a black clutch, and I was out the door.

Looking back, I am not sure about the brown belt. I like the size, but maybe I can switch it up with something a bit harder. That's the thing with experimenting, you make mistakes. But I was happy I created a brand new outfit with my old clothes. I plan on creating more outfit to see where this dress can take its legacy, she deserves it after all, having been waiting around in my closet for three years now.

I hope you like this post, until next time!

Bisous, Brigitte

Flower Power: Florals from Head to Toe

Spring is just around the corner; it's time to enjoy the sun, the warmer weather, and the cute outfits!

I actually flew back to Paris for a few days to visit the family. Even though it was a very short amount of time (4 days), I was able to pick up some pieces at the mall next to my house. I found an amazing blue summer dress with floral prints, and a pair of shoes that resemble those from Converse, but with a cute feminine twist. Now I am not exactly a short dress/skirt person, I like length: maxi dresses/skirts, jeans, etc., you know...them African thighs!! But for once, the weather was extra nice in SF, so I thought I'd make an exception and show a little bit of leg! I fell in love in the flower details and thought they gave a bit of a 90's feel to the dress, without making it too cheesy. What do you guys think?

Dress: New Look Paris

Shoes: New Look Paris

I am thrilled I spotted those. I always wanted simple white shoes like white Converse shoes. But the floral details on this pair prove that one can be simple yet unique. The only thing I am a bit concerned about is getting them stained. Other then that, I think white shoes are gorgeous for the spring and the summer.

I do hope this little OOTD post will inspire you. Florals are not going anywhere this season. Enjoy!
