Last night I had to attend a formal dinner at my boyfriend's house with all his relatives. Aghh. I hate these occasions. For the whole week I was looking again and again in my closet, trying many outfits. And certainly I could not wear something like these...
...Or even this
(photos:style.com)I could imagine his aged aunts whispering while drinking herbal tea about my aggressive outfit. At last, I decided to wear this:
Skirt and tee by Esprit, scarf Benetton and handmade (by me) bracelet.
Coming soon: How I made my bracelet step by step! See you soon! Have a stylish weekend!
PS: the dinner was very booooooring.. as expected!

Love that first look. And don't worry; you looked gorgeous - ideal for meeting up with the BF's family. Can't wait for your step-by-step instructions on making that lovely bracelet - so gorgeous! :)
Nice outfit. I bet now the entire family thinks that you are not only very pretty, but also talented as that bracelet is beautiful. x
Very appropriate for the occasion I'm sure you left a good impression :)
Your outfit was cute!
Don't worry!
It's classy yet cute, a bit of colour on the skirt and you were done, so..great job!:)

Ωραίο ντύσιμο και μπράβο και για το θάρρος -εγώ αποφεύγω αυτές τις καταστάσεις μου δημιουργούν άγχος και νευρικό γέλιο
Lovely bracelet!
I love your beautiful clothes.
That first collection is so crazy! I love the color of your skirt.
Hahahah!!! you should have totally worn those clothes to dinner. I must imagine what a boring dinner it was so you could have spiced it up with your awesome outfit!!!
haha!I laughed a lot but I love your choice!Colourful but also modest!!
Love the outfit! The skirt is gorgeous! Definitely a perfect choice for the occasion.
I'm sure they loved your refined and very pretty look xx
The shape of the skirt is perfect :)
Excellent choice of clothes! Hope they liked your outfit. I used to hate such occassions too.
Lovely skirt, my dear!
Have a fresh week, Darling!
XoXo
relatives and especially aunts always find something to critisize.
if you wear trousers, you didn't care enough to dress up for them
if you wear something nice, then you 're overdressed
if you wear a mini, then it's too short
if you wear a long skirt, why are you dressed like a nun?
etc etc
a simple tea dress i think does the trick .
liked the fact that you wore one of your own creations!!!
I love the long braids. It perfectly compliments the collection.
A tasteful dress like that is great! Nothing too skintight, but classic. It also depends on how formal his family is... My husband's family was rather conservative, so I kept this in mind when meeting them for the first time.
Sorry the dinner was boring. You looked great though!
I'll post up a photo of the pattern after it has been fitted. We'll also soon be draping a bodice, so there will be pictures of that too! As well, I think there is a picture of the drafted pattern a few posts ago.
j‘adore ces vetements
Our elders don't always get our sense of "style" do they? Your choice of ensemble was lovely!
Love your bracelet...always love to see any DIY projects:)
Great choice of outfit! And I love the bracelet! I think when it comes to meeting a guy's relatives, less is more and the simpler/more timeless the better. Unless the relatives are artists or otherwise incredibly eccentric, sporting shredded items and a reay short skirt probably woudln't go over very well. Lovely blog by the way :)
Wow! I love your blog!
Cute look! Well done for the family dinner!
cute outfit.
love the color of the skirt.
xo
sincerely,
Jules
the colour of the skirt is gorgeous! as is the bracelet :)!
hahahaha!!! i love your honesty !!!!!

VERY! I love the dress she's wearing in front of the Cartier sign the most. Beautiful!

I really love her-she is the amazing French woman that I can never be xx
