Pleated skirts

Please meet my new crush-pleated skirts.

At the very first moment I was a bit put off by the thought that those pleats have actually been with me for many years in school as a school uniform and oh, how I finally wanted to get rid of them! I could also picture my mother (who was a teacher) wearing plaid pleat skirt with a crisp white blouse.

But the past is the past and todays designers are bringing back modernised versions of clothes that arise our memories, that`s probably the charm of it.


Firstly, checking it out with fashion bloggers. Result: pleated skirts can be worn all different ways, perfectly styled with light or even sheer fabrics tops, printed tops, tailored blazers(like Misspouty), knitted sweaters, denim or even faux fur (like Mia Amos).

Maxis, midis, minis, sheer pleat, shiffon pleat, jersey or even wool pleat. The choice is endless. The temptation of buying them all is high, but I`d better go and dig my wardrobe for now, I`m sure there definitely must be at least one, completely forgotten pleated skirt in there. So wish me luck and I`ll share what I`d find with you in the next post.

Heavy glow

Another wrap dress has recently appeared in my wardrobe. Loved it immediately for this particular dark cobalt blue colour, special floaty skirt and a neckline. The discovery of wrap dresses is new and how I thank this collection of Diane von Furstenberg for bringing new style of dresses in my life (I`ll be honest I`ve never been a dress person before.)

We`ve got to share this lonely view

"When in doubt, wear red"-said Bill Blass. Not sure I would ever do (must give it a try one day though at least just for an experiment) but I must confess when I`m really frustrated and don`t know what to wear I`m giving bright colours a miss and choosing browns and neutral tones, classic hues and simplicity.

Cape

Have you ever had the most beloved piece of clothing in your wardrobe that you would never give away or swap for something else? Well, this cape is definitely that kind of thing. It`s been with me for some years and still everytime I wear it, it feels like first time, just fun, bright and it always makes an impression. So never never under any circumctunces whatsoever will let it go.

I gotta feeling

Of course I wasn`t supposed to be standing in front of a big black bin in this outfit photo, it was meant to be a view with a red telephone box and possibly new Shard building as well. My photographer husband promised me this sadly wouldn`t be a great quality as it was getting dark but the view would be fantastic! No doubt I believed him.
