Sudden Autumn

Last week was another busy one and we had visitors at home, which I always enjoy but it's also very distractive (obviously), so I totally neglected my blogging activities (including to take photos). Anyway, we had fun, went out for some tapas (we always treat our visitors to the local traditional ones) and had some social life!. Not a bad plan!

La semana pasada estuve otra vez bastante ocupada y tuvimos visitas en casa, lo que es siempre divertido, pero también es muy distraído, claro está, así que dejé abandonado el blog (incluso dejé las fotos). Lo que importa es que nos divertimos, salimos de bares (solemos llevar a las visitas a algunas zonas clásicas de bares) e hicimos vida social. ¡No es mal plan!
We ran errands on Saturday morning, and also took our visitors to local tabernas for a bite. Totally business as usual, only that this time we were a chatty little group. I even took some photos on usual backgrounds and invited Mr.A.'s mom to join me!.
Salimos a hacer recados el sábado por la mañana, y también fuimos con las visitas de pinchos a algunos sitios típicos locales. Vamos, un sábado de rutina!, sólo que esta vez éramos un grupito que hablaba con todo el mundo. Incluso me saqué las fotos en el sitio habitual e invité a la mamá de Mr.A. a apuntarse para la foto.

I only took photos when the weather permitted, as it was rainy and windy most days. But I wore lots of colours, as you can see, particularly Orange. Totally into an 'orange is the new orange' mood. I was looking forward to wearing that crochet cardi (another one!) which has been revamped totally twice!. I've changed colours and pattern until it worked for me, keeping that 'sunburst granny square' design. Finally, I picked only Orange shades, as I'm not made for neutrals. Not everybody's cup of tea!
Both blouse and skirt are second hand pieces that I revamped. Sandals by Chiruca.


Sólo pude tomar fotos cuando el tiempo lo permitía, porque muchos días estuvo lloviendo o con viento. Pero igualmente me he puesto colores, como podéis ver, en especial Naranja. El naranja es el nuevo naranja. Estaba deseando estrenar esta chaquetita de ganchillo (otra más) que he tenido que rehacer dos veces (cambié los colores, cambié el diseño, hasta que me funcionó, pero mantuve este patrón de cuadrados con soles dentro. Al final me quedé con tonos naranja únicamente, no estoy hecha para tonos neutros. Ya sé que no es del gusto de todo el mundo, pero me gusta el naranja.


That's the repeat offender of the week, an outfit I've worn at least twice previously. I don't care if I repeat same outfit!. The blouse came from Vinted (it was a dress but I cut it), trousers by Kiabi, trench by LaRedoute (years old), charity shopped scarf, sneakers by Adidas (old).

Este es el reincidente de la semana, un conjunto que ya he llevado por lo menos dos veces anteriormente. No me importa nada repetir!. La blusa vino de Vinted (era un vestido pero lo corté), pantalón de Kiabi, gabardina de LaRedoute (hace años), pañuelo de una tienda solidaria, zapatillas Adidas antigüitas.
Have a fabulous weekend.

  1. It's totally understandable when one neglects to take photos when one has visitors. I always do too. But it's lovely to have people around and show them the local sights!
    Your first outfit is a stunner, and I love Mr. A.'s Mum's outfit too.
    Your crochet cardigan in shades of orange might be your best yet. Such a cheerful sight. And yes, orange is definitely the new orange :-) xxx

  2. Making time for guests and friends is important.
    Sometimes life gets so busy, we forget about social life but it's and it should be an essential part of our lives.
    As humans, we're social beings.
    Love your colourful outfits! The first maxi dress pairs wonderfully with that cardi.
    I love the orange and red combo as well.
