Hi lovelies! How have you been?
A story… not outfit related … A few weeks ago our bathroom scale stopped cooperating with us and so it was time to buy a new one. We (okay, mostly mu hubby) wanted something fancier that would also measure body fat, etc. I was almost ordering Xiaomi Mi Body Composition 2 but for some reason, it just sounded a bit too good to be true for its low price and so, I decided to go with a brand I know – Fitbit. And Fitbit Aria Air seemed like a good choice and somehow it seemed that it will all the things needed.
Although, to tell you the truth I don’t really care much about those fancy extras. All I need to know is my actual weight. Anyway, so I ordered Fitbit Aria Air and received it last Wednesday. And unfortunately, it seems that it basically only shows you your weight. Oopsy! So I googled and read some posts and comments and seems that I haven’t been the only one who thought that this fancy bathroom scale would do more. So I’m glad that I’m not the only naive blonde who ordered it thinking it would do more than it actually does. So if you want a fancy-looking bathroom scale that is advertised in most places as diagnostic then go ahead and buy it but I’m super disappointed because it cost me 59€ and that’s just way too much for basically ONE thing it does. Okay, enough about that … let’s continue with the outfit(s).
Striped maxi dress and white cardigan outfit
Onto my outfit, actually outfits, now. These two outfits are very similar – I just changed the cardigan for my second look. I wore striped Soft Joie Maribel Dress (see here paired with denim jacket). I ordered this dress a few years ago from Shopbop. For the first version of my outfit I added short cardigan from H&M. For a pop of colour I wore yellow lace-up flats.
I accessorized my outfit with Fossil Cross Charm Watch and a layered necklace from Happiness Boutique.
For the second version, everything but the cardigan remained the same. For this look I paired the striped maxi dress with white oversized cardigan. I bought this cardigan a year ago from H&M.

Very cute, both ways! The second cardigan is especially pretty.
Interestingly, several years ago, I had the same issue with the Fitbit that counted your steps – I thought it did more. It seems deceptive advertising is what they do best.

Super cute both ways, Leelo! I really like this cute maxi dress and the yellow shoes are the perfect little pop of color. And that is a bummer about your fancy expensive scale. Can you return it?

I probably could, although, my 2-year-old managed to damage the box it arrived in.

I love the pop of yellow with the shoes! That is a little expensive for just a basic scale isn’t it. I have done that before, ordering something and not double checking all the facts.

Yes, a bit too expensive. Well, I will know better next time.

You look adorable whatever you wear! I saw a posting in 2012 for Oliva by CCs facial cleansing mousse. I am looking for where to buy that. I loved it! Any suggestions? THANKS! older lady who wishes she still looked good in everything!

I am a big fan of maxi dresses, the second look would be my most favourite. Love your choice of yellow shoes to go with monochromatic outfit

I like both outfits! And it’s funny, but I also wore a striped maxi dress in my latest post. I never wear maxi dresses! Such fun coincidence.
So disappointing that the new scale didn’t work out the way you had hoped too! Hopefully you can still find good use for it 🙂
