Apart from pastels, I seem to be drawn to navy shades this spring. I think that might be because of the annual return of the same trends, every season. Pastels for spring,nautical for spring-summer, and ethnic/safari looks for summer-fall. Do you think this has grown to be like this because a lot of women find they want to dress this way in these seasons, or do you think women follow these trends because they’ve seen years and years of shops promoting a certain “look” at a certain time? Fashion evolves, but it also repeats itself all the time. A chicken or the egg type question might be interesting, tell me what you think :-D
A question like this might seem weird to some, because fashion seems to dictate so many lives, but I don’t consider myself to be easily influenced. Maybe we just feel like dressing in soft, feminine hues after the dark months of winter? And don’t the nautical trends make you feel like you are already on vacation in st tropez or something like that?
Anyway, this is my outfit. I love this dress, it actually has a really high empire waist but I felt like wearing it with a belt for once. It’s linnen and always reminds me of one of rosemary’s maternity dresses (rosemary’s baby) :D And knee socks are another transitional-weather-fave of mine. I love it when you wear em with longer skirts or dresses and you only see they aren’t tights when your skirt blows up a bit or when you sit down. Playing a bit of hide and seek is both innocent and sultry.
and I just wanted to share this awesome picture with you guys:
this streetstyle pic is perfect in every way.
you seriously have the best dresses. i love them! and i too am loving navy this spring. i guess because it's not black but it's still dark to help balance all the pastel. love this dress!
