::AUTUMN LIGHT::

Are you ready for a change of season? Here in DR, we have a big dilema when with talk about that: "New season, is that really exists?" Well, maybe the temperature doesn't get lower than 22C degrees, and the trees do not start loosing yellow leaves and it doesn't get dark at 4:30 pm ... However, lately I have noticed some changes; last week around 5 - 6 pm there was a "strange" light coming through my window, first I though it was the sunset light and I ran like crazy to see if I could get a cool picture to instagram the moment (btw, are you following me? .. I'm new with this so follow me!) but not, the sky was the same, still the atmosphere was kind of sepia; two days later I was driving and it happened again. I was so upset I couldn't capture it with a instant-picture that I decided to re-create it, and this is how this outfit post was born.

I used 3 light layers to create this look: a pleated dress, a laced blouse and a cut-out blazer; added a studded bracelet to create a cool contrast.

Thanks God, it's friday! Wish you all a happy, happy weekend!

¿Están listo para un cambio de temporada? En República Dominicana, es un gran dilema cuando se hable sobre eso "Cambio de estación, realmente existe?". A lo mejor, la temperatura no baja mas de 22 C grados, los árboles no comienzan a perder sus hojas y no oscurece a las 4:30 de la tarde... sin embrago, últimamente me he fijado en algunos cambios; por ejemplo la semana pasada a eso de las 5-6 pm una "extraña" luz comenzó a entrar por mi ventada, corrí como loca a ver si podia tomar una foto para mi instagram (por cierto, me estas siguiendo?... soy nueva en esto así que necesito apoyo!) lo que había sucedido es que el cielo estaba igual de siempre pero se había creado una atmosfera sepia que rodeaba el entorno. Dos dias después, estaba manejando y volvió a ocurrir lo mismo. Me frustró tanto el hecho de no poder captar ese momento en una foto instantánea, que decidí recrearlo y fue así que nació este "outfit post".

Usé 3 capas ligeras para lograr este atuendo: un vestido plisado, una blusa de encajes y una chaqueta con cortes en la espalda; añadí una pulsera con tachuelas para darle un poco contraste.

¡Gracias a Dios es viernes, les deseo un feliz fin de semana a todos!

::STYLE BY INSPIRATION #3::

Running through my pinboards on Pinterest, I found this image I saved a long time ago. I looked up the link and ended up on Sarah E. Rehmer's website. She is an amazing american graphic designer and photographer, with a big passion for fine arts. I loved this pieces, it was made in 2011 with encaustic and oil on a panel. The mixed textures and forms helped me get inspired and create this week style look.

Key words: rough, street, mixed materials.
Color palette: mixed grays, washed - out blue and a grungy mint.
The look: casual, lay-back outfit, perfect for a concert/festival or a friendly lunch.

::STYLE BY INSPIRATION #1::

There is a new segment on the blog, it's called "Style by Inspiration". Every week (well.. I'll try!) I will find an image for inspiration, it could be anything or everything; a interior, or a poster, or a postcard, or a dessert, etc, ect. Then, I will analyze the image through some key words that will help me describe the atmosphere or feeling. In addiction, I will make a color palette extracting the hues from the photograph. At the end, all these elements will be useful to create an outfit style. 

I'm pretty excited about this project, it's a good exercise to find inspiration and think outside of the box. Also, if you are not good with color or pattern combinations, this is a good way to start.

Start creating!

::TWO SIDES OF STYLE::

 

People say there are two versions of every story (sometimes even more!), the same goes for fashion. A piece will always have the possibility to combine, emphasize or complete a look in several ways. Above, I showed you some ideas of how to play remix in your closet, and create different looks that can vary according to the occasion using the same items over and over again. What so you think? Are you ready to use the technique of fashion remix?

Dicen que existen dos versiones de una historia (muchas veces hasta mas!), lo mismo sucede con la moda. Un pieza siempre tendrá la posibilidad de combinar, resaltar o completar un look de varias maneras. Aquí te muestro algunas ideas de como jugar al remix en tu armario, y crear diferentes looks que pueden variar según la ocasión usando las mismas piezas una y otra vez. ¿Qué dices? ¿Lista para usar la técnica del fashion remix?
