Last week I kicked off this new series Zany and Zaftig*.
Here are today’s tips for other zany and zaftig ladies:
-Pair shmata* dresses with cute shoes–dress UP the shmata.
-Use sashes as belts.
-Dresses that fall just below the knee are flattering.
Don’t lay in a bathtub in your shmata. It may get dirty :P
This Week I’m Zany & Zaftig in:
1.o Raffia Hoops from Mexico
2.o Vintage Dress from El Salvador that my sis gifted to me. Thanks boo, I LOVE it!
3.o A vintage pink silk sash that I wear in my hair, as a belt, on hats, around my neck…so versatile.
4.o Some sweet lace-ups from Anthro. (Sorry, I got them last season).
5.o I got that adorable heart ring from a dear friend Aireka for my birthday last year.
I truly hope you all have a blessed weekend!
*zaf·tig or zof·tig (zäftk, -tg) adj. 1. Full-bosomed. 2. Having a full, shapely figure.

that second photo really looks like a sun shower, beautiful! Full of color and so lovely. I’ve made it my new thing to only wear shmatas, or what I call huipils, to bed, it makes sleeping seem more sexy and vacation like, hah!

totally random question, but is there a website you went to for that last photo that sucks the colors up from your photo and gives you a pallet? i feel like i saw this long ago and haven’t been able to find it since. LOVE your blog/style. thanks for the inspiration.
)))BOOM(((
Justina Blakeney says
oooo, that probably exists somewhere–but I did this on my own. If you find it–let me know because it would save me some time! Thanks!!
