One great tip I'd like to share with you guys is to check your closet for your favourite pieces, the ones you always return to, even after years of owning them. What silhouettes do you feel prettiest in, regardless of trends? What fabrics feel best on your skin? And importantly: which brands made the clothes that you keep wearing? This is usually a great guideline for future shopping, as it guarantees you to buy garments that you will love for a long time. For me, Zara is one of those brands, and pretty, comfortable dresses just above kneelength featuring a defined waist are the spring/summer items I keep wearing over and over. Case in point: this grecian style silk smock dress from Zara, which has been a part of my summer wardrobe for five (!) years. Let me prove it to you by showing this picture from the second summer I had this dress.
COOL RIGHT? Come to think of it, I still wear those shoes too. I'm not so fashion-fickle after all.
Do you have any brands/silhouettes/garments that have served you well over the years?

Die kleur groen is echt geweldig mooi bij u!
ReplyDeleteI understand why you still wear it! it's a lovely dress, and lovely dresses never go out of style. Great color too!
ReplyDeleteI do the same with many (if not most) of my dresses and skirts: no matter how old they are, if I love it I continue to wear it again and again.
That dress is so pretty and classic! I can see why you still wear it!
ReplyDeleteThe style/silhouette I always return to is definitely a very flared/full skirt, and fitted top, always! Modcloth has so many dresses I need to get because I know I would wear them over and over. The one I do have is definitely a classic go-to dress.l

I believe Zara's stuff can be pretty long lasting. Look at your green dress! The colour still looked brand new to me. I've a few Zara's stuff that I worn for the longest time. The longest was a blazer by Zara. I bought it when I first entered the work force like dinosaur years ago and I'm still keeping them till today.
ReplyDeleteI still have ancient stuff I keep on wearing and probably will the coming years, as long as it fits!
ReplyDeleteDie kleur staat je super! Dat doet er mij aan denken dat ik vorige jaar bij Zara ook een jurkje heb gekocht in bijna exact dezelfde kleur. :-)
ReplyDeleteSuch a great colour on you, really flatters your skintone. Beautiful! x
ReplyDeleteMy low-budget doet mij ook terug keren naar old-time favorites. Altijd zalig als die dingen na zoveel jaar nog altijd even veel plezier geven als toen je het net kochte :) mooie pics!
