Embroideries…

Posted on December 4, 2015 by stylepointofview

As much as I like “Minimal” and I always will, right now I have a new fancy, I am in love with something so opulent to be its exact opposite: embroideries! I am not talking a little embroidery, I am talking big and colourful if possible AND with the addition of stones etc.

See, I had seen Gucci’s winter campaign photos and thought it all look so fabulous! Only, in the real world, where normal people buy normal priced clothes, there is very little unfortunately. Whether that’s because the trend didn’t catch on, whether because it was a risky one, I don’t know. Anyhow, here’s what inspired me:

And here’s what I found:

ASOS Premium Embroidered Shift Dress

Boden TWEED EMBELLISHED SLIPPER

ETRO embroidered slim trousers

My Fair Lady Baroque Embroidery Midi Skirt

Self Portrait Felicia Embroidered Midi Dress

TORY BURCH Keegan embroidered wool-felt skirt

Zara EMBROIDERED EVENING BAG

Zara LONG EMBROIDERED DRESS

I feel just about everything can be worn during the day with knitwear, heavy tights and ankle boots. I like more embroideries together or add textured materials in order to MAKE IT CONFUSING, OVER THE TOP, MESSY, OPULENT! The same clothes can also be worn at night though, with the obvious addition of heels, sheer/elegant/sparkly/etc. tops and so on….

Black & green

You know how you have periods you always wear certain clothes or colours? Well, I am into black and green right now ( forest green, sage green, bottle green… perhaps Christmas tree green!!), after seeing this:

Gorgeous or what?!? I absolutely LOVE this!

Pity I haven’t been able to find this top or anything similar for that matter…but, it will be not forgotten. When I like something as much as I like this sweater, I just keep it in mind (I have a small compartment in my mind where I store fashion info about my wardrobe needs) and, one day, hopefully, I will come across it by chance while looking for something else. It has happened. I looked for about 3 years for the right black jeans belt and one day, I was looking for clothes for one of my two sons, when I found it! It was in the men’s department, but hey! who cares if it’s not a woman’s belt.

The thing is, it is worth waiting for the RIGHT item, plenty of times I wanted, and couldn’t resist buying, something which was almost right but not quite, it never pays off. When you find the perfect one, love will blossom and continue for years.

Anyway, I had been looking for a new colour match for my many black items for a while. I am fed up with the usual ones and green is definitely going to be my favourite now. I actually own a gorgeous green & Other Stories sweater I bought in the sales last year, it’s a start!

Here is some green you can add to your black:
