Argentinian BBQ - Black, White & Denim...Again

I have been featuring a lot of denim lately...bare with me. I have had every intention of mixing it up...and just haven't. Even on this trip I brought three different coloured pants plus a pair of black trousers and I always go back to jeans. I also wore dresses or skirts every night I was in Chile, but only have one good picture from the wedding I was able to showcase for the blog. What I'm trying to say is I can do more than jeans but haven't lately so please be patient with me.

Back to this post and jeans...One of Ivan's colleagues took us to a local Argentinian BBQ restaurant, La Brigada, where one of their claims to fame is that the servers cut meat with their spoons...I don't know how they can do it so expertly but I was impressed. Steak was great and so was the empenada and baked provolone appetizer.

I sort of recycled my Slow's BBQ outfit look (click here for a refresher). La Brigada is a local favourite and the atmosphere is casual and the beef was excellent. If you love soccer, you will enjoy the decor. The entire restaurant is covered with jersey's, team scarves and pictures of soccer players from around the world. My husband was in heaven.

I know the pictures are not the best...hotel lobby carpet really clashes with my shoes...

And here's the food and decor pics...

This is Me

"Peplum - Short overskirt that is usually attached to a fitted jacket, blouse or dress" 

Wikipedia

This is my favourite new trend. Why? Because to me it says "feminine", and I love being a woman.  The overskirt detail highlights the smallest part of me and hides any overhang that birthing four children has resulted in. What's not to love?

This blouse also hits another trend polka dots, plus, I enjoy a red, white and blue colour combo. 

Another great thing is I paired this blouse with red denim...thinking about my green pants too...maybe too much...I do have white...then there are the skirt options...

I feel pretty and that's another reason why I love peplum.

I wore a big chunky necklace because the top has a small pattern and needed some contrast, a small necklace would have been lost.

My youngest just fell over in his little play car. I am trying not to make a big deal of it...Okay I am lying... I am trying not to laugh at him.

Blouse - H&M, Pants - Joe Fresh, Necklace - Joe Fresh, Shoes - BCBG (old)

This outfit captures who I am, I know it sounds bizarre but don't we all have a few favourite outfits that we feel the most like ourselves in? This is me.

The best thing about this outfit is that the pants, blouse and necklace combined cost less than the shoes...honestly!

I forgot the bracelets...again...next time...
