Hello dear friends, hope you are well
There are many reasons why we look for new clothes. Sometimes it is just a necessity to replace an old garment, other times it is for a special occasion such as a wedding, birthday or anniversary dinner and sometimes we do it just for fun .
Case in point, my today's outfit. I was aimlessly wandering along the aisles of Zara waiting for my Pilates class to commence, when I stumbled upon these pants. Just looking at this fun print made me smile and I simply couldn't resist the urge to buy them. As I was heading toward the cash register, I made a quick mental check of what could I wear them with and decided that I need something equally outrageous to go match their vibe.
And just them my eyes caught an oversized blouse in extremely loud orange colour hanging on a nearby rack (it was very difficult to miss such a bright colour, wouldn't you agree?😃) and I immediately knew that it would have to do.
I hastily paid for my new purchases and rushed to the gym but all I could think of during the class was how this outfit would turn out.
The moment I stepped inside my home, I went to my room to try it on. I loved both pieces, the blouse looks a bit long but that this is the length de jour at the moment. Besides, I can always tie it in around the waist if I want to make it look shorter.
When I looked at myself in a mirror, two images sprang to mind: Elvis Presley (coincidentally, the Elvis movie had just been released throughout Australia, that's probably why I was thinking of him 😃) and a famous poster of John Travolta in the Saturday Night Fever movie.

And it was then that I decided to have some fun. I grabbed my husband's guitar, donned big brassy rings on all of my fingers and pretended that I am Elvis Presley.
Once I was done with him, I moved on to imitate Travolta's most recognisable stance which, I must say with all honesty, looks likes like an easy thing to do but turned out to be quite tricky, especially when I was trying to stay still while my husband was taking photos. I was having great fun all through the photo-shoot and that's what fashion is about.
Have a great week.
Until then,
Anna
