Chapter 3 - Week 12, Day 2

This is a beautiful, sunny day and I'm glad that we'll send the rest of it together. I'm wearing an Osklen top, a Reebok sports bra (best invention ever for the pregnant woman), H&M bermuda shorts, my beloved strappy shoe boots from the H&M Loves Coachella collection and a vintage long necklace, a gift from dear friend Stefanos Zaousis (Maria Athanasiadou, thnxxx for the photos).

Chapter 3 - Week 12, Day 1

Today is the first hard day in a hard week, love. You know that, we all know that. Yet here we are, still standing strong, not in the "business-as-usual" way, but in the sense that not losing our strength, our courage, our grace right now, is imperative. So here I am, wearing a Comme des Garcons polka-dot skirt, an Aphorism white shirt and my Fullah Sugah flatform ugly sandals - oh, and a smile, in spite of it all (Maria Athanasiadou, thnxxx for the photos <3).

Chapter 3 - Week 11, Day 4

I don't know why, probably because last Sunday it was Father's Day, I keep remembering my dad these days. And the same thing happened as I remembered and reached out for this old shell-and-coral necklace - it was a gift from him when I was still in elementary school, one early afternoon he came back from work and he brought this necklace as a gift for me, for no particular reason, along with a similar one for my beloved sister, Stellar. I think I will keep it on for a couple of days as a stylish / sentimental obsession. As for the rest of the day's outfit, it includes an Underground custom-made dress made out of an original African fabric I brought back from a trip there - the same goes for the ivory bracelets I bought for an unbelievably ridiculous price, at a very big bazaar in Lagos. And the shoes are no surprise, my comfortable and uber-cool strappy sandals/booties from the H&M Loves Coachella collection. And the sunglasses are so precious and comfortable and cool, from the Moschino spring 2015 collection. Oh, and the big smile is courtesy of dear friend George Dedes, who interrupted the casual photo session (Maria Athanasiadou, thnxxx for the photos).

Chapter 3 - Week 11, Day 2

Today I wanted to show off my big fat belly - so I wore this fitted American Apparel dress and my comfy strappy shoe boots from the H&M Loves Coachella collection (Maria Athanasiadou, thnxxx for the photos).

Chapter 3 - Week 10, Day 5

Today I'm wearing this brand new and lovely Fullah Sugah jumpsuit (although I was not sure because of the big fat belly, I like the way it looks on me), plus a pair of Fullah Sugah flatforms, a Mango crochet jacket and a black enamel necklace that I swear I don't remember where I got it from. (Maria Athanasiadou, thnxxx for the photos).

Chapter 3 - Week 10, Day 4

Today I'm in a terrible mood, you know why. Anyway, I tried to get a boost out of the playful original African print on my custom-made dress and I completed the look with Adidas sliders, Fendi sunglasses, my latest jewelry obsession (granny's vintage necklace, Katerina Psoma evil eye) and two ankle bracelets -one is gold, the other one is made out of black Swarovski crystals-, both gifts from my mom. (Maria Athanasiadou, thnxxx for the photos).

Chapter 3 - Week 10, Day 3

Today it's so hot, and I wore this Brazilian cotton eyelet dress I have not worn for a very, very long time - because it's breezy, it's roomy, and because I love my toned legs! And I don't feel I have to hide them! I added a beloved pair of sunglasses from the Fendi S/S 2015 collection (from the lovely Panaidis Eyewear Boutique at Kolonaki), my Fullah Sugah flatforms, and my latest jewelry obsession, a vintage gold necklace that belonged to my style muse, my grandmother Mary, paired with an evil-eye enamel necklace by Katerina Psoma - oh, and a peacock-feather fan that belonged to my sweet mom Loula, just to brave the heat in the most stylish way possible (Marina Vafiadou, thnxxx for the photos).

Chapter 3 - Week 10, Day 1

The tourist shop dress used to be the stylish girl's haven. Well, not anymore. Nowadays, tourist shop dresses have gotten a bit ugly, not as ethereal as they used to be, and filled with kitshcy gold embroidery. It's a good thing that I bought this red dress from a souvenir shop at Loutraki long before this ugly turn of events. And it's so easy, breezy and comfortable for my big belly. I paired it with my Fullah Sugah ugly flatform sandals and a necklace that I made some years back by tying together two pieces of lace (Maria Athanasiadou, thnxxx for the photos).

Chapter 3 - Week 9, Day 5

Today I wanted it to be all about the jewelry. So I wore an evil eye necklace by Katerina Psoma and a very beloved vintage necklace that belonged to my grandmother, Mary, with a plain purple Underground tank top, an Asos asymmetric navy blue skirt and my comfy and cool Fullah Sugah ugly flatform sandals (Maria Athanasiadou, thnxxx for the photo).

Chapter 3 - Week 9, Day 4

Today I wanted to wear this Moschino oversize shirt / blouse, because I love it and because it's so comfortable. "So" I'm going, 7 in the morning, "why not go for total white?". This tone is such a mood booster. So I finished it all off with white H&M bermuda shorts and white Fullah Sugah ugly flatform sandals (Maria Athanasiadou, thnxxx for the photos).

Chapter 3 - Week 9, Day 2

Well, it's official: it's a girl. Hence the big smile. I am also wearing a vintage plaid sleeveless shirt (a gift from you), an Asos leatherette skirt, an H&M biker vest ((also a gift from you)) and a pair of shoes from the H&M Loves Coachella collection (Maria Athanasiadou, thnxxx for the photos).

Chapter 3 - Week 9, Day 1

Today I'm wearing my beloved Adidas sliders (I know you hate them, but they feel so comfortable), plus an obscure black skirt, plus a gift from you that I really really love: an H&M Cry Baby tank top. (Maria Athanasiadou, thnxxx for the photos).

Chapter 3 - Week 8, Day 5

The rainy weather made me want to do what I call since this morning "the maternity goth look": I combined an Asos neoprene black dress with a pair of black shoes from the H&M Loves Coachella collection, my beloved They're Real Push-Up Eyeliner and my vintage eyeglasses (Maria Athanasiadou, thnxxx for the photo).

Chapter 3 - Week 8, Day 4

I love this Suite 9 polka dot dress because it's cute, it's comfortable, it's curiously sexy. And I know you like it too. While I was looking for some neck decorum as a distraction to the belly, I remembered this Bimba y Lola necklace, a symbol of anticipation while I was pregnant with our first child, our darling son - the necklace bears a lion's head and Stavros was born under the sign of Leo. Except my comfy Ipanema jelly gladiators, I also wore a simple and beloved bracelet I picked up some time ago at the giftshop of Stockholm's Museum of Modern Art (Marina Vafiadou, thnxxx for the photos).

Chapter 3 - Week 8, Day 3

I don't know why, but today I feel fantastic - and I think it shows. Probably because I'm wearing purple, my favorite color. Or maybe I'm wearing purple, my favorite color, because I feel fantastic. Anyway, I'm wearing a French Connection oversize vest, my beloved Comme des Garcons houndstooth and floral sequined vest and a pair of comfy Ipanema flats (Maria Athanasiadou, thnxxx for the photos). P.S. Today it's one year since I started blogging for you on Penelope's Closet. :)

Chapter 3 - Week 8, Day 2

Today, with an ever-growing belly and a tiresome weekend, the concept (sic) is "comfy with a twist". I wore a roomy Fullah Sugah striped long shirt with a Tally Weijl bandanna-printed stretch skirt, an H&M leather vest (it's a bit too breezy here) and a pair of Adidas Originals sneakers (Maria Athanasiadou thanxxx for the photos, Emmy Lakis thnxxx for the mood boost!)
