The fancy dress

Hi everybody! I hope you had a lovely weekend!
 Since we're on the hair topic and everybody responded so well, I decided to give you another good hair day. In fact this is probably the best hair day ever, because it's the only time you're gonna see me in a hairdo! I called my friend Fani, who is also my personal hairdresser, showed her my dress and she acted accordingly! This is the result:


 The day was special: our next-door neighbors got married! Isn't that sweet? We couldn't miss it, so we dressed up and joined the party! They got married in the same church I was baptized (in Orthodox church, this is the day you get your name, which by the way in greek is Δήμητρα).

St. Nikolas church in the background
 I really love the pattern of that dress and the fact that it cost me 15 euro and nobody can guess that... but it is the most unflattering dress I own, at least for my body-type!
 I knew that when I bought it and I've changed the neck-line a bit (it was v shaped, but it didn't work), but still... girls who are pear-shaped and curvy like me, should avoid that type of dresses! If you really insist, pick a wild pattern like this one: it's eye-catching and people focus on the dress instead of the little flaws. It's a nice visual trick and it works! I only got compliments on this outfit!


  I've made a bronze earring for this dress, which I forgot to wear at the church, but I wore later in the reception. I'm pretty sure I should have a pic of it in my hard drive, but can't locate it!! I'll incorporate it in the next jewellery post for you to see though!


 I liked these shoes so much, that I've bought them in purple as well! I do that often. It was years ago, but I think they were 20 euro! The big beige clutch is now a vintage Crest that I snatched from mommy! That brand was very famous in Greece 30 years ago, but I can't find any information about them. I remember they also had luggage in their collection. Anybody remembers anything?


 That's the plate of the newlywed's car with their names on! Antonis and Aggeliki, I wish the very best for your joined life ahead of you!!! Love and kisses to all!

  5. Hello hello!!!! Δεν καταλαβαίνω τι εννοείς όταν αναφέρεσαι σε αυτό το φόρεμα ως unflattering. Εγώ μόνο μια θεά βλέπω μπροστά μου! Την θεά Δήμητρα συγκεκριμένα! Κι εγώ Δήμητρα ειμαι by the way :P Τέλος πάντων, πού το πάω πού το φέρνω, πάλι για άκυρα θέματα μιλάω! Το φόρεμα, έλεγα, είναι θεϊκό! Απλά υπέροχο! Και το print γλυκούλι είναι! Αλλά έχω να ομολογήσω ότι τα παπούτσια μου κλέψαν την καρδιά! Κουκλιά είναι! Και είμαι σίγουρη ότι είναι όμορφα και σε μωβ :) Όσο για τα μαλλιά, σου πάει πολύ πολύ ΠΟΛΥ αυτό το look! Η φίλη σου το έχει με την κομμωτική! :) Α και φυσικά ξέχασα να πω, ΝΑ ΖΗΣΟΥΝ ΤΑ ΓΕΙΤΟΝΑΚΙΑ ΣΟΥ!!!! Πάντα τα καλύτερα!
    Να ρωτήσω και κάτι άκυρο (μην χαλάμε και τις συνήθειες, κρίμα είναι :Ρ): έχεις καμιά σελίδα στο Facebook, δική σου ή για το blog? Πρέπει να φτιάξεις μια! :)
    Δυστυχώς πρέπει να φύγω, ΔΙΟΤΙ έχω φροντιστήριο :( Whatever :P
    Υ.Γ. Σ' αγαπώ! χαχαχαχα!
    Υ.Γ.2. Crest? Εμένα πάλι γιατί μου ήρθε στο μυαλό η οδοντόκρεμα? :P

  8. Hi! Oooh, I do really like your hair! And I'm jealous that you can still wear summery outfits. That IS a fancy dress...and it looks great on you!

  9. @Shybiker - Thanks Ally! That's so sweet!

    @Demy - Έλα βρε Ντεμάκι, με συγκινείς! Ευχαριστώ πολύ! Όλες έχουμε τα ελαττώματά μας, αλλά έχω μάθει να αξιοποιώ αυτά που έχω! Τα παπουτσάκια είναι migato. Facebook έχω φτιάξει ένα ομότιτλο προφίλ, αλλά έχει εγκαταλειφθεί στο έλεός του, γιατί το ομολογώ - μισώ το Fabebook!!Το μισώ! Καλό μάθημα και κουράγιο!

    @Tracy - Thanks dear!! You're so sweet!

    @Sara - Thanks Sara! You do? I could never guess your shape, which means that you dress very successfully! Kisses :)

    @Ashley - Actually this is the first day that it got a bit colder! So glad you like my dress dear! And so sorry, I've been a bitchy blogger and haven't communicated for a while! I'll make it up! Kisses :)
    Και είσαι μικρούλα να θυμάσαι την Crest τσάντα, αλλά ήταν ωραίες και με σηματάκι που θύμιζε λίγο Channel! Φιλάκια χρυσό μου!!
