Olive Green Layered Up.

Hi girls. While I am trying to stay cool (literally), I wish and hope for lighter-temperature days, grayer skies and drops of rain. Unless I was at the beach, on a cruise or in an isolated island, this weather is not possible for a human being to handle every single day. Granted, I am at work (or at home) and even doing errands these days comes at the expense of surviving the heat. Considering how we had such a cold and long winter this past winter in Tirana, I figured Summer would be muggy, hot & long too. Though summers are known to feel like an African sauna, around here.

Anyway, here you got an outfit worn on a cooler day. I'd pay money to wear something like this, again, at least for a day or two. LOL

Rainbow Tie-Dye Dress and Rainbow Espadrilles.

Hello All. How is this Thursday (close to the weekend) going for you? I am doing fine considering the kind of hectic day I have had so far and still MOST OF MY WORK DAY is still ahead.

As you all know very well by now, I love Dresses and own A LOT of them. I find them pretty, feminine and really easy to wear. At least it's not like you have to match a top with a bottom. Yes, you have to choose the right shoes, accessories and sometimes a cardigan or a blazer, but rather than that you don't have to mess up much with a dress. I love this particular dress because it is so colorful and the shape and style of it is so pretty. It is very body-conscious as it hugs my body and shows my curves. It also has a pretty sweetheart-shape at the chest area. It's a good thing I was blessed with boobs, because this dress wouldn't flatter a flat-chested girl as much. Also the empire-waist style and the black ribboning under the rib-cage is flattering and shows the tiniest part of my body. Last but not least, I love the exposed black zipper in the back. This dress has fun tie-dye-like stripes in colors like Yellow, Orange, Red, Kelly Green, Forest Green, Purple and Ivory. You could pair it with a cardigan in any of those colors or a black one. This time I chose Red. Also my Wedge Espadrilles are multi-colorful and stripped, in Hot Pink, Green, Yellow, Turquoise and Orange. The stripes/colors are not quite the same as the dress, but the two go well together, I think. :-) I was quite a stylish Rainbow that day.
