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:

Embroidered skirt

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….
