Sucre Bleu!

Photobucket

Sucre means sugar and bleu means blue but my title is a play on the French expression sacrebleu. I'm just trying to be clever here. Heh. My friend Trammie gave me that electric blue dress. She bought itfrom Vietnam. Actually she bought me a bagful of clothes. My friends spoil me :-)

Yup, I'm wearing the rainbow platforms again! ^__^ I don't think I have a whole lot of pieces in my wardrobe that go with them, sadly. I should remedy that so that I can wear them often. I love them so! I'm wearing mustard stockings this time. It was still a bit cold this morning and well, it is always cold in my office and I was born with icicles toes anyway so stockings should be the order of the day. Or everyday...

I got the necklace from Purple Cow, a somewhat pricey thriftstore but you hardly see crap there. It's all carefully picked. I always find knick knacks from the 70s there. My ring was from Forever 21 and the beaded bangle from SM, Cebu

I try to dress especially pretty on Fridays because it's my way of welcoming the weekend and I also have lunch dates with Thad :-)

I hope you guys have an excellent weekend! Frock on!

  3. Of all colors, blue is my favorite. It is, of course, one of the official colors of my primary blog. You wear blue beautifully here. Xiomara, if there is one thing I've appreciated about your sense of style, it is your overall sense of creativity in playing with colors and not being afraid to try new things. You look tottaly awesome in this one!
