Are you like me, always searching for something unique, one-of-a-kind, to inspire you? Looking for something new to make your day?
I was wowed by these dresses I saw on the Net-A-Porter website. So distinctive! The vibrant colours, the draping, the pleating, and the fabrics all add to the allure of these dresses. Hope these inspire you too.
Did you watch the 2024 Olympics in France? The opening ceremony left me with questions, but the presentation of the countries athletes of course was the best part of the ceremony. One of my favorite sports in the Olympics is the long distance race. The absolute determination to push through to the end is so admirable.
For some reason I chose to google dresses in flag colors. Maybe many of you already knew there were dresses using flag colors, but I didn't. I was pleasantly surprised at the image responses that came up during my search.
Till next blog! Enjoy your day.
Did you know there are numerous pant styles for ladies? I forgot about the other styles available for ladies as the popular silhouette today is the close fit, tight leg pants. Myself, I prefer the semi- fit to loose-fit pants that allow freedom of movement.
I googled how many pant styles are available for women. Surprise surprise! At least 17! Shall I name a few for you? High waist pants, bootcut, capri, wide leg, dress pants, cargo, harem, jodhpur, palazzo, etc.
Want to be on trend for this summer 2024? Do you love standing out in a crowd? Try wearing what's on the list of trends in fashion for summer 2024.
According to some top fashion magazines, some of the current fashion trends for this summer are clothes in these colors, design and/or fabrics : 1. utility look 2. floral fabrics 3. soft white 4. metallic colors 5. red 6. pastel colors 7. lowered waist. These vary, of course, depending on the country.
I say wear what you love and defines you.
Here are four trends I would choose ( well, I have a floral dress, that's one to check off on my list):
My favorite accessory is the bag. The variety of colors and shapes (if you check Pinterest, you'll see many unconventional bag designs) are incredible! I'm not one for excess, but if I was, there would be a sizeable collection of this necessary item in my closet.
I love maxi dresses. I love the flowing long skirts, the coverage, the femininity of maxi dresses. Adding one to your wardrobe for the spring and summer season should be a requirement, that's just my opinion, lol.
Ladies' tops can show a woman's fashion sense. The top is one garment that is designed in multiple ways, using pleats, gathers, draping, etc. while, I find, the variety of pant designs, for example, aren't in abundance. Blouses can be the main focus of an outfit in countless cases. The variety of detail, colors, and sleeve designs are many.
It's spring again! This time of year is a time when people are feeling positive, more hopeful as the weather warms up and winter clothes are put away. Time to bring out spring clothes, including jackets. This year there are many wonderful jacket designs to admire and choose from.
Crocheting is a lovely skill to have, a nice way to use time artistically and create lovely items such as table doilies, coffee cozies, the crochet bag and ponchos. Well, I decided to see if there were clothes pieces being crocheted as well. The answer is yes, and crocheted clothing are attractive and have expressive flare. I can imagine how much time it takes to make just one garment! This shows the designing crafter has great patience!
Here are a few of the crocheted designs I appreciate:
We all love to scroll the internet. I scroll the internet for so many things, information, ideas, networking, hobbies, and of course, fashion! I've been looking for surprisingly lovely dresses and I believe I found four out of the many wonderful fashion looks I came across. I'll have to make a part two blog in the same title above, and part three.... and part four...
Here are the four exceptional dresses that caught my eye today:
Enjoy your week!
Don't you enjoy seeing what people of other countries are wearing? I certainly do! The world has become smaller, people wear throughout the world the basic and now universal outfit, the denim jean and t-shirt. But there is also the incorporation of culture in clothing of each country, whether subtlety or obviously. There is the unique design ethic placed in each clothing designer of a particular region.
For today's post I chose Hawaii, Israel, Japan and India.
I'm looking forward to posting the fashion of another four countries. Enjoy your week!
