Petite Piece

As I've said in other posts, Zara clothing is relatively small, especially the Trafaluc (TRF) line. And sometimes, even the girls' clothes are big enough for most petites.
Today I went shopping and I found this short-sleeved quilted leather jacket, available in black, white and pastel pink. It was TINY, the XS one even fit my eleven-year-old sister!

It's 39.99 dollars, and I think that, personally, the one that fits me best is the pale pink one. I'll soon be posting my new outfits from yet another shopping trip!

Ombre

This is the sweater I got on my last shopping trip. I'm literally in love with it! It's so comfortable and works for all occasions, though I mostly pair it with denim, long and short. Pictured here with my sister's teeny Zara Boy skinny jeans and a red Tezenis bra.


Bralet outfit

I was brave enough to wear the vintage  Cacharel bralet, but only for the photoshoot. I wore it with a pink cardigan from a local shop and Zara jeans and flats. I don't think I'll be able to wear it withot something on top, so for now a cardigan is great for everyday life with a small touch of sexy.

Dare-to-wear: the bralet

Today, I discovered two vintage bras in my grandmother's house, they possibly belonged to my aunt Julia. Anyway, they look like bralets. The striped pink one is Cacharel, feels like a corset with underwire and all. The other one is white satin and has these adorable buttons at the front. Personaly, the Cacharel one is more wearable as a bralet because it looks summery and not at all like lingerie.





I don't know if I'm brave enough to wear them, but I think I'll pair the striped one with my navy Zara blazer, distressed Zara Kids jeans (in previous post), and flats.For a more summery look, I'll try it under a loose blue tank top, denim shorts, a straw hat and Converse.
If I do try the white one, I'll put it on under a sheer blouse for a touch of sexy vintage.
