PINK TULLE SKIRT

 Hello dear friends,

It has been a while since my last post.  I was caught between having a nasty cold that significantly depleted my energy level which led to a long recovery which in turn affected my creativity skills.  But it's all in the past, hopefully, and I am all ready to have fun with fashion which brings me to today's post.

A few weeks ago my husband and I celebrated out 15th wedding anniversary.  If you are a regular reader of my blog, you might recall me mentioning that every month of the day of our wedding (it was on the 29th of July) my husband buys me, without failing, a small gift to mark the day and then on the actual day, spoils me with something more substantial.  

And you might understand my surprise when upon opening a beautifully wrapped gift, I saw a pink tulle skirt inside.  Slightly puzzled by his choice, I was just about to ask him, when I caught a sparkle in his eyes and a cheeky smile on his face and it dawned on me that it was a joke.  He could be such a tease sometimes. 

Once we both stopped laughing, he went to his office and came back with a proper gift.  It was a stunning looking watch with its face fully covered in sparkling crystals.  Turned out that the traditional 15th anniversary gift is a crystal and the most popular gift for this occasion is a watch. 

 

In the evening we went to a quite posh place for dinner and of course, I was wearing one of my new gifts (hint, it was not a tulle skirt😉).

However, I didn't discard it completely but rather accepted a challenge and gave it a go.  I paired it with a simple black sleeveless top, ballet flats and oversized hoop earrings. Not 100% convinced if I like it on me.  What do you think?  Please share your view in the comment section, your opinion means a lot to me.

Until then,

Anna

  4. That is so much fun! While you may not wear the tulle skirt very often, I love how you styled it here! I think it makes it an everyday skirt or add heels and it becomes a date night outfit. I love it!

  9. Honestly I think the way you styled it is perfect. The black top makes it less girly and subdues the pink. It's cute on you!

  11. I am so glad you are feeling better. I got a cold the last week of July and it was terrible. Though it did force me to rest a lot which was much needed. Anywho, I love your anniversary gift. It's a beautiful watch and happy belated 15th! The tulle skirt is pretty. It looks great paired with the black top. But I know what you mean about not quite you. I feel the same way with the pleated skirt. Though I really love the way it looks!
