Finery’s burgundy skirt

There used to be a time when, come January, the sales started. For two very long months there was NOTHING, nothing interesting around. Which was bad, one couldn’t buy anything new and exciting. On the other hand, it was a time one could save money for the Spring arrivals. Things are different now. The sales don’t last very long, there are already plenty of sites which have new stimulating arrivals. And I am not talking clothes one cannot wear yet because they are too light and summery….Which is nice. Well, yes, nice, but expensive!!!!! Anyhow, all this rambling because I have seen a skirt, a gorgeous burgundy skirt:

I love the colour match too, hate the shoes though…

The slip dress over shirt/top (trend)

How do you feel about this slip dress on shirt/long sleeve top trend? I am not hundred per cent sure… but I am kind of drawn by it. If anything because I have had a lovely slip (plain black silk thing) in my wardrobe for years and haven’t used it for almost as long, I lack the formal occasion to wear it on its own…I also have a cheaper grey velvet one…I still like them both and can’t bring myself to get rid of them!

This is what the runway for Spring 2016 has shown:

Now, this is certainly not your average, everyday use of it, I grant it, but, if one were to find/have (don’t we all?) something a little more subtle… something like this for example:

And wore it with a plain white shirt or a thin long sleeve top:

Are you going to try?

Selected Femme and your wardrobe needs

I seem to be stumbling upon great labels lately….Well, I suppose I did know Selected Femme already but, I had never stopped to have a proper look at it. I found a very interesting line of clothes and accessories, well cut, classic up to date pieces. More so, a great place for good basics (=black mainly!!). I really quite adore them! Gorgeous all of those “slightly coloured white tops” to match with THE black, which, let’s face it, is absolutely necessary in every woman’s wardrobe, especially timeless pieces like these. Fabrics are actually quite “forward” and the prices are definitely acceptable. The shoes are fantastic too, just my kind of “English” looking footwear. Not one of the following is going to go out of fashion any time soon (making them classics), yet all of them are  “in fashion” too… sometimes because of the colour, sometimes because of the fabric or the cut. Enough! Do take a look for yourself and you will understand.
