The Hidden Seed

Good-Bye 2009 and See you in 2010!

Dear friend, 

With this post I'm going to say good-bye to 2009. What a year! 2009 has been hard and wonderful at the same time. I'm so glad that I was brave enough to start this blog in the middle of a year where I had to give so much of myself to my children (specially Diego) in terms of time and energy. 

 

I can't even tell you how grateful I am for your support and friendship through this blog. When I started The Hidden Seed my hope was for you to find inspiration in it and for myself to find joy in something as simple as the act of getting dressed everyday. Those will still be the premisses behind The Hidden Seed next year. Sometimes small things can make a great difference in your life and in 2009 I realized that personal style is one of such things. The way you dress is not going to change the world in a big way but it could change YOUR WORLD and make it a lot nicer, which is great, because that will bring lots of positive energy to the rest of the areas in your life. 

 

 I am really looking forward to the continuation of this adventure next year. I will be back in 2010 with a new banner and lots of new things to share with you. Please come back to keep our connection alive!

See you here sometime in January of 2010!

Elsita :)

Ruffles Everywhere

 

Yay! The theme of this outfit is: ruffles :) Ruffles are fun and feminine and I love them. On the other hand I am wearing the shortest skirt that I own right now. I know that I am not young enough for these kinds of mini skirts but I am old enough to know that the whole point of personal style is to have fun and forget about the rules. So that's what I'm gonna tell the fashion police when they stop me on the street one of these days :o

Black Skirt

 

The brighter color in this outfit is on the top but I would like to talk about the skirt. Before I got this black skirt I had already dreamed about it. I envisioned a black sculptural skirt that I could wear with anything on top. When I saw this piece at the store I just knew that it was exactly what I was looking for. Just take a look at something that I made in 2007 and you will see that this skirt was really in my dreams :) I also love the top, here is how it looks without the cardigan. And these shoes are a favorite of mine right now, so delicate and feminine.

Moss Dress

The fabric in this dress really captures the idea of moss. These shades of green are so beautiful and organic. I took this photo in our backyard because there is a lot of green over there, most of the time. The cherry tree on the background is a little sad right now but it looks amazing in the Spring with all the flowers. I will take pictures of it next year :)

Today Bill blogged about Natalie's sense of style!!!

Finding Peace in my Outfit

 

This is the kind of outfit that I need to wear when there is a lot going on in my mind, because the light colors help me feel more relaxed.  I think that what you wear has somehow an impact in your moods, and vice versa, don't you think?
