I have great news our dining table is
finally here but that is not all. Two days later our new couch, that was
due to be delivered in mid-February, also arrived so our living/dining room
transformation has been completed and we all are loving the new look. The
table arrived on Saturday afternoon, just in time to have dinner with our friends that same evening. For me, one of its best features is the surface that does not leave any marks nor scratches which means that
I don't need to cover it with a tablecloth for protection and my Ecology dinner
plates and serving platters from my beloved Wonki Ware look
really nice against its charcoal colour.
As you can see from the images, it was not a good idea to try and match the wood of new dining chairs to am old table, hence we took a different approach and bought a new table in a contrasting colour. If you missed the beginning of my chairs/table saga, you can read it here.
But enough of that. This is a
fashion blog so
let's talk about clothes. I can't it about everyone but for many fashion bloggers that
I follow, present company included, there is one criterion that they follow
when shopping for a new item of clothing, it's diversity and versatility.
Case in point, my new summer sleeveless dress with a V-neckline and cross-over
hem from Nana
Judy which colour, quite coincidentally, is very similar
to the colour of our new dining table. 😊😊😊
Its design is quite simple. it is made, the dress not the table, of a blend of cotton and elastane and is wrinkle-free which
makes it ideal for travelling, besides its simple style and solid colour
provide endless possibilities for layering and accessorising. depending on the time of day, activitiy or just your mood. It looks
equally lovely when worn casually with some flat sandals or sneaker,s or with some upscale accessories, high heel shoes and an evening
handbag.
I like that the pearls look luminous against the dark colour of the dress and give the whole look a feel of elegance and sophistication. The chunky silver chain will
work well too in keeping with the monochromatic look. The other
option is to contrast the cool grey hues with warm colours such as pink, yellow
or orange in your accessories.
I decided to change the way to position the accompanying images and instead of placing them one underneath the other separated by the text, I placed then in juxtaposition of casual and formal styles. I think it does help to illustrate my point without saying too much, or as the saying goes "One picture is worth a thousand words". What do you think?
I like both of your outfits. Combination of colour and details is great.

Great simple look, very posh casual. Nice twist making a knot in the pearl necklace. Great summer look.
