A Lack of Color



English: I have this dress from Romwe for some time now (those who follow me on facebook are aware of that) but I never managed to wear it because it is short, too short, even for me, the girl who is always showing her legs. Wear it today was a challenge because the wind decided to be funny and make my almost nonexistent dress dance with the air. If it was not its darling collar and its delicate color I would certainly put it aside.
But no more dressy dress talk, this week marks the true beginning of my summer (ok, I still have a few exams) because of the festival Primavera Sound at Porto that I'll attend. I'm going to see some of my favorite bands and enjoy the spirit of summer festivals. About what I'm going to dress, well, this is the most sensitive issue because I never know what to wear at summer festivals but I can guarantee that confort is the key word.


Português: Tenho este vestidinho da Romwe já há bastante tempo (quem me segue no facebook sabe disso) mas nunca o consegui usar por ser curto, aliás, demasiado curto, até para mim que sou a menina que anda sempre de pernas ao léu. Usá-lo hoje foi um desafio visto que o vento decidiu ser matreiro e fazer com o que o quase que inexistente vestido andasse sempre pelos ares. Se não fosse a sua golinha maravilhosa e a sua cor delicada já estaria certamente para o lado mas sendo ele tão querido não me consigo desfazer dele.
Mas vestidos ao lado, esta semana marca o início verdadeiro do meu verão (ainda tenho exames mas não faz mal) porque começa o Primavera Sound no Porto e eu vou marcar presença. Vou poder ver algumas das minhas bandas favoritas (e tantas que elas são) e aproveitar o espírito dos festivais de verão. Quanto ao que vou levar para vestir, bem, isso é um assunto mais delicado pois eu nunca sei o que vestir em festivais mas posso garantir que o conforto é a palavra chave.

Such a beautiful colour on you Marisa! I know what you mean about short dresses, I have one that is almost a shirt it's so short! I just try not to bend over much. It does look wonderful on you x

love the cardi with that dress! and the dress doesn't look too short in the pictures at least:) hope you have fun at the festival! x

Cátia Pereira Matos said...

como percebo essa tua complicação em escolher roupas para festivais. O conforto tem mesmo de ser a palavra-chave, mas tento sempre levar roupa gira. Ao mesmo tempo a roupa não pode ser demasiado gira porque não a quero estragar e pronto, acaba mesmo por ser complicado. Boa sorte e have fun no Primavera Sound, o cartaz está óp-ti-mo!

since you like the upper part, you could try wearing it with a skirt on top! most romwe dresses seem to have this problem of being too short - I made one of mine longer by sewing a piece of lace to the hem ;)

o vestido é muito bonito e fica-te mesmo bem :3 x
