Maxi & Winter

The weather was particularly miserable last week. It rained cats and dogs and temperatures have raised and melted the snow on the nearby mountains, so some rivers have flooded. We are ok, and count ourselves fortunate as we just had a small leak at home.

El tiempo ha sido especialmente malo en la última semana, muchísima lluvia y las temperaturas en ascenso han fundido la nieve de las montañas cercanas, así que se han desbordado ríos. Estamos bien, y contándonos entre los afortunados, ya que sólo tenemos una gotera pequeña en casa.
This is what I've worn last days, some maxi dresses (and coats). Specifically, these are some of my favourite maxi dresses, not frequently worn, but definitively keepers. They have been in my wardrobe for more than fifteen years and still going strong.

Esto es lo que me he puesto en los últimos días, vestidos largos (bajo el abrigo). Concretamente estos vestidos son de mis favoritos, aunque no los lleve muy a menudo, pero lo son. Los tengo desde hace como unos quince años y siguen pareciéndome especiales y animándome, así que son piezas que conservar.

- dress, from a Vintage Shop in Sevilla / vestido de una tienda vintage en Sevilla, ya desaparecida
- shoes, Camper / zapatos
- crochet waistcoat (made ages ago) / chaleco ganchillo, de hace siglos
- silver brooch, homegrown vintage (late 80's) / broche de plata, vintage de mi propia cosecha, de finales de los ochenta
- beret, a present (old) / boina
- shearling coat, second hand (Asos Marketplace, boutique Bich) / abrigo de piel vuelta, de segunda mano, de Asos Marketplace, boutique Bich
- scarf, retail (old) / pañuelo, de tienda local
- black turtleneck, La Redoute (old) / cuello vuelto negro

- dress, retail (90's?) / vestido, de los 90 supongo?
- sneakers, Adidas outlet (old) / zapatillas
- tights, Snag / medias
- scarf, retail (old) / bufanda, de tienda local
- coat, retail, label Sophiacurvy / abrigo, tienda local, marca Sophiacurvy
- bag, Emily The Strange (old) / bolso antigüito
Hope you're safe and as fabulous as possible, whatever the weather

Cuidáos mucho, y pasadlo lo mejor posible!

  1. I love both of your maxi dresses - so pretty! The first one reminds me of the Indian ones that Vix owns. I love the "swimming eyes" pattern of the second dress.

    Wow, that homegrown vintage silver brooch is amazing! What a gorgeous piece.

    1. Dear Sheila, you've got eagle eyes, as Vix has subsequently commented. We have the same dress, which makes me feel particularly Happy!
      And you're so talented naming clothes and patterns, the 'swimming eyes' pattern sounds Perfectly Appropriate! mwhaha

  3. Sheila's got eagle eyes - we do have the same dress! I love how you've worn it with the crochet waistcaot, I think I need one of those in my life, too!
    The black and white outfit is fabulous too, that spotty coat is worth it's weight in gold and your brooch is gorgeous!
    Your weather sounds downright dismal, although I wouldn't mind a few extra cats if the weather gods want to chuck some my way! xxx

    1. Mwhaha, this is one of my fav dresses ever and even more favourite now that I know that somebody so stylish have the same dress!
      Totally agree that the spotty coat is becoming a Great Piece, comfy & cool!
      It would be really lovely to welcome some cats (and puppies) instead of bucketing rain and a leak.

  4. the winter solstice warmth did arrive here now.... all our snow is gone and its drizzling and wet.

    this are both extremely fab dresses - and very chic styled by you! was´t the "eye-print" an artists design back then?

    1. These are not my favourite weather conditions, too wet!. Sorry that snow has gone in your neck of the woods too.
      I suspect that this 'eye-print' was trendy back in the 90's, the dress has a 90's style itself. I know we love some graphic patterns!

  5. Glad to hear your home sustained nothing more serious than a small leak. We have to be grateful for small mercies, don't we? And for a wardrobe with faithful maxi dresses in them. I'm particularly loving the first one with its fabulous sleeves, but I'm also taken with the black 'n white pattern mixing offered by the dress and coat in your second outfit. I'm swooning over that divine homegrown vintage silver brooch! Besos xxx

    1. Not long ago even a small leak would cause me an anxiety attack, but now I'm managing this kind of small nuisances better and this is good news (feeling proud of myself!)
      Totally grateful for having some faithful maxi dresses and glad that you like the old silver brooch. So lovely comment!

  6. Looking very glamorous in your maxis! I loved the first dress for its beautifully subtle colour palette and how cleverly you paired it with the striped scraf and the fab crochet top. I loved the red, black and white combo, too. Fabulous accessories. I;m glad to hear your leak was only small!

    1. Thanks, Vronni!, glad you like my dresses and colour combos!. This kind of subtle colour palette is something I don't do frequently, so it's out of my comfort zone, and it's nice to give it a try!
      Lovely that you like my accessorizing!
      besos

  7. We've had rain and snow here and so many days with grey skies - it sounds like our weather is as dismal as yours has been. You have a lovely collection of maxi dresses, and the first one (that matches Vix's dress) is one of my favourites. It looks great layered over and under pieces for winter.

    I hope you had a nice Christmas, and I'm glad you didn't have any leaks!

  8. I'm glad the flooding didn't get you - floods are awful.

    Your maxi dresses are fab. They look very comfortable and also very stylish.
