Pink blazer and zebra print dress – Blazer cor-de-rosa e vestido padrão zebra


Hello dear readers and friends! Today I’m wearing a blazer that I got for my birthday and a dress that I found on sale at a huge discount. This is a chic spring outfit, with a strong color message and a bold pint, there’s nothing discrete about it. The zebra print of the dress also has strides of soft pink into it but I’m not sure the photos are showing it. This wasn't the outfit I intended to wear in the first place; I was going to wear a white pinstriped pant suit instead, but in the morning I couldn't find the pants anywhere (gasp! Really need to reorganize my closets!) ; the dress was there “staring” at me and I was in a hurry so I went for this dress plus pink blazer look which I had in mind since I purchased the dress a couple of months ago. 
I also want to say that I managed to save the bag from yesterday; after scrubbing with nail polish remover the stain was faded but still there in the white portion of the bag, so I used some white shoe paint (the one used to repair white sneakers) and I was able to cover the stain completely. I’m really relieved because I grow attached to my things so much I can hardly get apart from them even when they are worn out; that’s why I’m such a clothes-bags-shoes-accessories “hoarder” (or “collector” as I like to think of myself); every piece has a sentimental value, I remember when I wore it, I treasure it for life.
Happy Labor’s day tomorrow!

Olá queridos leitores e amigos! Hoje estou a usar um blazer rosa “pastilha-elástica” que comprei para os meus anos e um vestido que encontrei em promoção há uns tempos com um desconto bastante grande (salvo-erro ficou por 15 Euros). O vestido tem também umas pinceladas de rosa-pálido, mas não sei se conseguem notar nas fotos. Esta não é a roupa que tencionava usar hoje; tinha planeado levar um fato-calça branco risca-de-giz, mas não consegui encontrar as calças do fato (tenho mesmo que reorganizar os meus armários)… O vestido estava ali à minha frente e como não tinha muito tempo, decidi usá-lo com o blazer rosa, algo que já tinha imaginado quando comprei o vestido. 

Também queria dizer-vos que consegui salvar a bolsa de ontem: depois da mancha ficar bastante esbatida na parte branca da bolsa, usei tinta para sapatos branca (do tipo que se usa para recuperar ténis brancos) e a mancha deixou de se notar por completo! Fiquei bastante aliviada porque dou bastante valor às minhas coisas, a ponto de mesmo quando estão bastante usadas não me conseguir separar delas. É por isso que acumulo tanta coisa (roupa, sapatos, carteiras, acessórios,…), as peças têm valor sentimental: lembro-me quando as adquiri ou fiz, as ocasiões importantes em que as usei, são os meus tesouros…
Desejo-vos a todos um ótimo Dia do Trabalhador amanhã!

  1. I am glad to hear you could save the bag! It would have been a shame otherwise. I know I repeat myself Tany but I have to say it again. You look absolutely fantastic. Love the dress, it's insanely amazing! Love the jacket, gorgeous, love the heels, to die for, love the bag, beautiful, love the necklace, so pretty. To make it short, perfectly styled and you are wearing it beautifully. Sadly to say I went to Mango but no pants :-/ never mind I'll find the perfect one one of these days, I am sure. I always do although it may take some time, but hey that's part of the game, isn't it?
    Happy hump day honey

    1. Thank you thank you my darling!! About the pants, you have to keep looking; I love this "hunting" game too, when I picture an outfit and I'm on the hunt for the perfect matching garment piece,... I could do this for a living, lol!!
      Many hugs my friend, thank you so much for such a lovely comment!! <3

  2. Hello my gorgeous Tany! How are you?

    That was the perfect way to disguise the stain, but I wasn't aware that there is shoe paint in white color, honestly, to avoid you feeling worse, I resisted commenting on your bag that day, but now since you managed to sort it, I want to say that I absolutely loved the bag, fantastic design and the colors are beautiful and together with strap sandals created an ideal match.

    You look absolutely beautiful, the pink blazer has also very nice texture and the color shade is so subtle that it beautifully compliments your black hair, and I like the matching pendant on the grounds of zebra print, just stunning as always my darling!
    You know I have seen you bag on few internet shops, but never anybody wearing it, the chain detailing looks really very cool.
    Tany, you just look top notch and on trend from top to bottom. Bravo my friend!
    Wish you nice day darling! <33333333333 xoxo
    Lots of love, kisses and hugs ((((((<3333)))))))))

    1. Hello sweetie, how are you feeling today? Hope you are fully recovered by now, my friend... If not, just hang in there and do the best you can to get better, take good care of yourself.
      The bag is similar to the Chanel "Boy" bag, because of the chain strap; I had to order it online without seeing it "in person" but first I did some research and was able to find one or two bloggers that posted pictures wearing this bag. My only complaint is the weight; it's a heavy bag in spite of its medium size! But it is also luxurious, very beautiful in person!
      Lots of love to you my sweet friend, please get well, <33333333333333333333

  3. Oh that is a beautiful outfit, Tany! I LOVE that jacket. I'm trying to figure out how to make something similar. It looks like a soft tweed but must be quite firm to hold the shape without much structure...

    1. Hi Jenny! The fabric is some kind of tweed with a nice texture. The blazer is unlined and the only structure is the front facing/collar/hem facing interfacing; it's very soft. The pockets are mock-ups (sadly), other than that it has very good finishing details,... I think if you find the right fabric you can use any biker jacket pattern to do a jacket in this style. the facings are just double stitched to the wrong side, the edges were left raw and fraying.

    1. Thank you Eszter! Up until a few months ago, the only zebra print in my closet were a pair of calf skin sandals... But this type of animal prints has grown on me and I've acquired quite a few garments in zebra print lately! xoxo

    1. Obrigada Mónica! As sandálias, por não serem muito altas até parecem confortáveis mas magoam um pouco na tira do tornozelo; vamos lá ver se com o uso elas deixam de magoar. Beijinhos!

  9. Hi Teresa, I am charmed by this beautiful combination of colours, rose pink looks so beautiful with black and white and I like the jazzy zebra printed dress. The jacket is so elegant, reminds me of Chanel and your bag and stunning heels are the perfect choice of accessories. I know what you mean about having to style your hair everyday with complicated hairstyles, it looks lovely but takes far too much time. Thanks for sharing your thoughts with me...Have a great Friday!

    1. Thank you Sam! I guess unconsciously I made the same association with Chanel because the bag is supposedly a knock-off of the "Boy" bag and I thought it would be perfect for this outfit... Thank you so much for your support, sweetie!!

  10. Hey Tany, So glad you could fix that stunning bag!! Your jacket is so beautiful. I agree with Sam, it definitely has a hint of Chanel. Stunning honey!
