The Colosseum was definitely something I was looking forward to seeing prior to visiting Rome. Being one of the most iconic monuments of the world, I didn’t know what to expect. Certain things are meant to be experienced in person, -and the Colosseum is one of them. After seeing it in person, I can say that images I saw on the internet prior to visiting Rome didn’t do it justice. It is grandiose! I recommend checking it out in the evening as well. It is very beautiful. You can see a shot of it on my previous post.
A day of playing tourist calls for a comfortable outfit. An outfit that you will feel secure and free to move. I opted for a simple pants with a happy floral shirt. Few years ago this shirt didn’t fit me which nearly made me give it away. Deep down I knew I didn’t want to give it away because I loved it a lot, so I gave myself a pep talk to loose weight. Thank God the goal has been achieved. All pieces are old and from my closet. Find a similar shirt here and here.
Share your experience if you’ve visited the Colosseum before. Happy Easter Beauties!
Thanks much for your visits and meaningful comments. Hope you’re enjoying the Easter holidays.
As always, I would love to connect with everyone on INSTAGRAM and TWITTER.
Much Love!

Love that blouse!

I have visited the Colosseum when I was in Rome, but I remember it as being more grayish in tone, probably because it was a rainy day when we were there. It is grandiose, no doubt about that. I haven’t actually been inside it, just walked around it.
Lovely styling. I really like your floral shirt.
Author
Thanks much for the contribution, Ivana. 🙂
Ahh, I remember late summer nights we used to come to Colosseo at night. We’d sit on the green meadows and gaze at its beauty, shining lights through all those “windows”. By the way, your floral blouse looks great with this hat! ^_^

I know you will some day and it is indeed. Good to hear that and thanks much.
Have a good week too. 🙂
Dying to visit this, especially eager to see the inside. Did you get to go in? Do they allow you freedom to explore (to a certain extent I guess)?

I’m sure you will some day Sonia. I didn’t because I want to share that experience with my son on my next visit. They do allow you to explore inside if you pay for it. Ha!! You’re free to walk outside any time and any day. Thank you 🙂
super colorato questo look, mi piace

How lovely! Did you go inside? I visited last summer and I went inside as well. I was not expecting it to look how it did. Quite interesting.

Thanks much Cheryl! I didn’t go inside, because I will visit again with my son and want to experience that with him. 🙂
You look stunning, and your post made me miss Rome. You are right, Colosseum has to be seen in person. Unfortunately, we visited in the afternoon, I can imagine how beautiufl it could be in the evening. xx

I love your pictures at Rome’s Colosseum! You look absolutely gorgeous in that floral top, Mavis. I’m glad you didn’t give it away either. I love Ancient Rome history and the first time I saw the Colosseum in person, I was just in awe. It is something one needs to see in person. I do remember a very touchy “Roman guard” who walked around the Colosseum taking pics with tourists. I had to forcefully remove his hands from my boobs!

Thanks so much my beautiful friend. Good to hear that. I’m glad I didn’t give that shirt away either. Ha!!
