Shirt dress



Today I am in my shirt dress : simple, classic, comfortable!

Once again I couldn't resist to have something only mine and so, I shorten the sleeves and added the flowers ...


Then I wore  a rope belt 
(which, if you carefully look at the picture, matches to the handles of my O Bag )


Here I am!
Don't you think that a shirt dress is absolutely perfect in summer?


While I was walking in the morning to avoid too high temperatures, 


I came across this beautiful gazebo.
Probably it was placed in the square for an  exhibition .


Of course, a well trained blogger's eye can recognize at first sight a photogenic place!!
:-)


I have some more shirt dresses  in my closet.
They seem to be O.k. this year here!

 
The perfect shape of understatement ...

My look at the seaside


Some days at the seaside made me feeling  in the mood for wearing bright colours. So, when I saw the dress in a shop, bought it right away!
The price was very good and the fabric  made it  perfect in hot days 
( the little holes allow the pass of the air )


I matched it to coral colour 
which is one of my favourite combination at the moment.


Then  bought a  nail polish in the same shade of my earrings and lipstick
for a very holiday look!


At my home in the  Ligurian hinterland I keep some accessories which can come in handy during the vacations . 
Since  when I arrive I have been not wearing them for a long time, I feel as I were just back from a day of shopping!


In fact both the sandals and the bag are not new, nevertheless I couldn't wait to wear them!


Here you can see the whole ensemble! I probably won't wear the dress when I will be back in the city because it is too short, but here no one seems to notice its length!


The only problem, as ever when I am at the seaside, is my hair! 
 Not a big problem in any case, some days of full relax, and then I will take care of it.
 Not now,  not today ...

Some rest


Everyone has his favourite time for some summer rest. For me it is in July : the month is not as hot as August, and I have a lot of time before going back to work. Together they are the perfect ingredients to enjoy  spare time!


I like going to the  city of Cuneo which is not too far from where I live . It's a nice city.
Besides, there is at least a very good reason for a brief visit.
Are you wondering what it is? Well, my answer is...because there I can enjoy what I call my "perfect breakfast" !



Do you have a perfect breakfast?
Mine takes place in  pastries. 
( you can imagine what kind of breakfast I am thinking of ... not the proper one when you are on a diet!  )
In Cuneo, when I have the time, I don't miss the pleasure of a sweet break!! 


 When I was there, the other day, I decided for a walk. This is a very tidy city. And the inhabitants always find the way to make it really cozy and hospitable!


(Those chairs were so beautifully placed that I didn't dare sit on them! )


I found funny decorations in some streets


( Another touch of local creativeness ) 


At the end of the tour, I felt ready for my breakfast. But the worst disappointment was around the corner : my favourite pastres, where they sell the most delicious kind of chocolate pastry, was closed.  
They were on holidays.


Of course it was a pity, but I could have my breakfast in a different place.
I hope that you too are enjoying the summer!



( In any case I will go again, just to glance ... maybe they will be back from holidays ... )
