Autumn Is For Colours

My blog's accumulated delay has been increasing, but I keep on taking pics and obviously I keep on dressing up everyday (no nudity, particularly when winter is coming). So I'm posting last week's outfits which were still quite 'autumnal'. Now we're under threat from storm Ciarán (as most of you, dear readers) so it's time for winter coats and boots, and I hope we deal with it successfully but I'll tell you about this in a few days!

El atraso acumulado en el blog va creciendo, pero sigo tomando fotos y, evidentemente, me sigo vistiendo cada día (nada de nudismo sobre todo ahora que se acerca el invierno). Así que ahora publico lo que me puse la semana pasada, cuando el tiempo estaba bastante otoñal aún. Ahora se nos viene encima la borrasca Ciarán, y ya estamos de lleno en el tiempo de abrigos y botas, y espero que lo llevemos lo mejor posible. Pero éso lo contaré en unos pocos días ;D
My repeat offender of the week was this mini-dress (a present by Mom, label Udalaitz) which matches lots of colours in my wardrobe (so probably lots of outfits to come). I wore it twice in a row, similar colour combo, and even found those matchy blue shoes in my wardrobe. They were totally neglected for the last two years, since my last orthotics don't fit into them, but I can walk without them now, so these shoes are 'in service' again! (even if not for long walks). Nothing better than shopping your own wardrobe!

Este es mi reincidente de la semana, un minivestido que me regaló mi madre, de la marca Udalaitz, que combina (casualmente) con muchísimos colores de los que ya tengo ropa, así que se viene muchas combinaciones posibles. Me lo puse dos veces seguidas, la combinación es similar, y hasta encontré este par de zapatos que combinan perfecto. Los había tenido olvidados los últimos dos años, desde que me pusieron plantillas nuevas que no les entraban, pero ahora puedo andar sin ellas así que estos zapatos han vuelto al servicio activo (aunque no sea para largos paseos). No hay nada mejor que ir de compras a tu propio armario.
Usual trench by Seasalt. Both scarves were shopped retail (years ago). White leggings by LaRedoute (old). Tights by Snag. Sneakers by Adidas. Maryjanes by El Naturalista (ages ago). Cork bag by Fine Cork Portugal.
Some autumnal colours inspired by my favourite paths through the river banks. My trenchcoat is by Seasalt (two years old!), dress by CandA (old), Camper shoes, tights by Snag. Scarf was shopped retail at Eme, a local business. Usual cork bag by Fine Cork Portugal.

Colores otoñales, tal como se ven en algunos de mis senderos favoritos junto al río. Gabardina de Seasalt, de hace ya dos años, vestido CandA, zapatos Camper, medias de Snag. La bufanda se compró en la tienda local Eme. El bolso de corcho es de Fine Cork Portugal.
Another repeat offender in Autumn is that orange skirt (sewed by me 12 years ago and I even made a flashback on it). I tend to wear it in a monochromatic colour combo, easy peasy!.
Second hand jacket (eBay), years old. Tights by Snag, Sneakers by Adidas, Trench by Seasalt. T-shirt and neckerchief were second hand finds. Earrings shopped retail.


Otro clásico reincidente en el otoño es esta falda naranja, que cosí hace años (12 años ya y hasta hice una recopilación). Suelo llevarla con blanco y negro, muy conjuntado, es tan fácil!
Chaqueta de segunda mano (eBay) de hace años. Medias Snag, zapatillas Adidas, gabardina de Seasalt. Camiseta y pañuelito de segunda mano. Pendientes de tienda local.

I wore again my crochet pullover and same trousers than previous week, as this is such a comfy outfit to go for a walk (and then have a beer on a terrace, obviously!). So this is another repeat offender, and fashion police is still not asking for me!.
Crochet pullover made by me (here), trousers shopped retail years ago, trench by LaRedoute, Adidas sneakers.


De nuevo este jersey de ganchillo y los mismos pantalones que ya me puse la semana anterior, porque es un conjunto comodísimo para salir a caminar un rato (y tomarse algo en una terraza, ¡claro está!). Así que éste es otro reincidente, y no ha venido a por mí la policía de la moda por repetir modelito.
El jersey de ganchillo lo hice yo misma (aquí), pantalón de tienda local hace años, gabardina de LaRedoute, zapatillas de Adidas.
Have a fab week!

  1. the graphic art mini dress is very cool - especially fab with black tights and the cute blue shoes - very mary quant!
    and the helloween look with black`n orange makes for good mood instantly.
    but! black&gray with orange is´t "monocromatic" - monocromatic is when one wears only ONE colour (which can be every colour) head to toe - and has nothing to do with the "non-colours" black, white and gray...... but you´r not alone, most blogger do mix this up..... :-D (sorry, i´m a nerd in such things)
    hope the storm does no damage at yours!!

    1. Thanks, Beate, I'm glad you like these!.
      Totally agree about the 'monochromatic' being just one colour. I always found it strange but considered it part of fashion nonsense. It's good to know that other people think so!

  2. I wish I could sit at that table and join you for an al fresco drink!
    That dress is fantastic, I'm not surprised its a repeat offender. I'm pleased you're able to wear those pretty blue shoes again. That orange skirt is a thing of beauty and I recognised those Snag tights, I have a pair in the same colour.
    I hope storm Ciarán doesn't cause too much disruption, I think the south of the Uk is getting the worst of it this time. xxx

  3. Dear Vix, I wish you could join us for a drink!. Actually it was our 'goodbye until spring' as we dislike to sit on a terrace with those gas stoves. C'mon, if it's cold, go inside!
    Glad you like my dress and skirt, and that we have those same Snag tights!
    besos

  4. I'm so glad I'm not the only one with a blog delay - although I am much more behind than just one week :-)
    Storm Ciarán is raging here as I type, so far without causing any havoc. I do hope it doesn't do any damage at yours!
    Loving the mod vibes of your Mum's mini dress, particularly in the second outfit, and I'm swooning over your matching blue shoes.
    The orange skirt with that cropped second-hand jacket is another favourite!
    And obviously, you will never be arrested by the "fashion police" for wearing those trousers and fabulous crochet jumper on repeat! Besos xxx

  5. Whatever you wear you always look fabulous, Monica! Loved all the outfits and the gifted tunic is fantastic - I can see you wearing it in lots of wonderful ways. I do love your crochet top; such pretty colours. The orange skirt is so cool and it looks wonderful with the black and white items - a marriage made in heaven I'd say!

    Hope you haven't been too disrupted by the storm; it seems to have passed over here.
