BIENVENIDAS!
Les advierto que este post es largo jajajaja!
Me han preguntado un montón por este look =) Como estoy partiendo con el blog, empecemos inmediatamente con una confesión: resulta que la parte de arriba, es en realidad un traje de baño!!
Here is where the bodysuit comes in! I found it saved away and thought it fit perfectly! However, it still had the cleavage problem! I didn’t give up, and I sewed it quickly by hand!! I left just a little triangle on the top – so I wouldn’t lose all the fun!
At this point the look was simple and clean, so I decided not to overdo it with too many accessories. The truth is I’m a bit extreme when it comes to accessories: I wear many little tiny colorful accessories, or one or two big ones like a statement necklace, a large ring or a bracelet for when I want a more relaxed appearance. For this look, I chose a Carolina Herrera fuchsia bracelet to break the monotony of the black and white, a big black crystal Swarovski ring, and a maxi clutch.
You may be surprised to know that I don’t usually wear many earrings! I made a topknot for my hairdo, simple makeup just to highlight my cheekbones and get a more contoured face.
Look day 2:
This day was so cold! So I went for a draped maxi coat and added blue: I wore a blue dress with navy heels. Then I wanted to give a more a modern touch to the look, adding a beautiful metallic golden-plated little purse; the color is indescribable!
Usually I don’t wear an outfit where all the colors match, so I like to add a very different color in order to to break it up. Originally, the purse had a cross-body strap but I took it off. To finish, I added a gold belt over the coat! I love wearing belts over coats; it is so cool how it can change a whole outfit. Plus, with the belt over the coat and all your other clothes, you’re not expected to maintain your original waist size 😉
When I finally looked at myself in the mirror with this outfit, it looked like overlapped geometric figures. Once again I faced a very simple and clean look. After a while, the outfit appeared so safe to me that I thought I should take a risk regarding my makeup, so I put two big blue ovals around my eyes (nobody thought it would actually work out when I told them this idea!).
So the solution was in one of my favorite eye shadows: MAC’s Atlantic blue. The problem I used to have with this eye shadow is that with my matte skin, the product’s pigment used to look very translucent and washed out. But Pau, a talented makeup artist from MAC cosmetics gave me the solution: I had to put on a very bright calypso eyeliner from the Playland collection underneath so that the pigment finally could show up! And it worked! Here are the results:
IMPOSIBLE terminar este post, sin destacar lo más importante del Santiago Fashion Week: los artistas. A continuación, mi favorito: Sebastián del Real Ossa, que nos mostró un desfile conceptual, la colección ¨Corazones¨, que a su vez (y para qué más acertado) se presentó con la canción Corazones, de Los Prisioneros de fondo. Totalmente revelador y reinvidicador del momento por el que pasa el diseño de autor chileno, por eso fue mi favorito por lejos!. Para no arruinarlo, les transcribo textual su definición de esta colección (extraído de su cuenta de Instagram).
