GOOD DRESS

I am not into fancy dresses, though I can appreciate really good ones.

‘NIGHT’ DRESS

Seems like they are going to be popular next summer. Despite of that I like them - they are mostly cotton, loose, comfortable and mysterious - all these features speak to me.

FLORAL

And not just any floral, but sort of ‘table cloth/duvet’ floral. Especially in combination with ‘night dress’ form. (See more of 'night dress’ styles in the next post)

COATS, THE GREAT AND TERRIFIC - PART 2

This is the second purely coat post. I really have chosen out of hundreds the ones that are worth checking out. And once again I should say: If you haven’t identified your OWN style yet, it might be a lot easier to identify your favorite piece of clothing first. So it can become a center point to build your wardrobe around. I know for sure mine is coats. These are fun:

Coach 1941 - SS18 Diesel Black Gold - FW17 Acne Studios - SS18 Givenchy - SS18 Stella McCartney - SS18 Miu Miu - SS18 Bottega Veneta - SS18 Gucci - SS18

SKIRT SUIT

This style I really enjoy. Check out my old post with an amazing black skirt suit of mine.

LONG CARDIGAN VS V-NECK LONG SWEATER

Long cardigans. So soon and so suddenly have come back in style. I am glad as it’s always been my thing, only I’ve been wearing them so often that I need some more rest. When the v-neck baggy sweaters are right on time, I switched to them last year, combined them with printed or patterned t-shirts. Before that for a long time I’ve been accepting only round neck sweaters.

AMUSING PULLOVER

I like fun sweaters with geometric patterns or some kind of unusual design. These are:

MY OUTWEAR - PART 1

Leather and suede coats and jackets straight from the 70’s. As you all know 70’s are back in style now (just as every other decade of the 20th century in some way). And not just hippy 70’s that were trendy some time ago, but the smart and casual too. Apart from flares, it’s the sharp collars, not as sharp as on the 3d photo (typical 70’s) though, but might get very close.

COATS, THE GREAT AND TERRIFIC - PART 1

If you haven’t identified your own style yet, it might be a lot easier to identify your favorite piece of clothing first. So it can become a center point to build your wardrobe around. I know for sure mine is coats. Passion, obsession or weakness - call it anyway you like, but when I see a great coat or jacket I feel, well.. motivated! These coats are extreme in their superiority:

1-8 - Coach 1941 SS18, FW17/18, Pre-F17 9 - Zoë Jordan SS18 10 - Paul & Joe SS18

DRESS TYPES THAT COMPLIMENT WOMAN’S FIGURE

You would say “yeah, right, only when the figure is perfect itself”. Actually if the size is right, with suitable length, color and shoes it’s likely to complement most of the figures. So here is few dresses that are simple, mostly classic and won’t ever be a mistake:

-MAXI? MORE? -YES.

I’ll try to make it the final post about maxi dresses. Just found few more that I like and couldn’t keep it to myself. I am just too happy they are finally in style. I remember myself looking everywhere for a similar dress (photo 1,2,3) and finding just one slightly similar on sale in that section of unpopular stuff no one buys. Anyway, these are:

DRESS OVER TOP

Pinafore, fit-and-flare, straight, vest type, buttons up, maxi/mini just NOT SLIP.

Over a blouse, shirt, t-shirt, turtle neck or anything else.

I always was a fan of multi layering in a classical (not ninja) way. It reminds me of childhood. The concept is very neat and traditional, even formal. So when you experiment with it it becomes very cosy and casual together with being stylish and smart.

The passion for the mini style on the first collage came back to me last fall, for the maxi on the 2nd collage - in spring. Such things never go out of style, but you can’t be always in the mood for them. Right now I am. More for the maxi one.

I should say I am in love with absolute maxi straight jeans skirts. I still cannot forget one Diesel light blue I tried but couldn’t buy 10 years ago! Couldn’t find anything similar as good since (memories..). I guess I should set a goal to find the one I would like the same. This post isn’t about skirts, but my ‘maxi passion’ works on the dresses shown here too. You could see them in the previous posts with my Best Fall Fashion Chart.
