Already, we are having summer weather here in Madrid (even though it’s raining right now). It has been so hot lately I was forced to slip in my summer clothes, today i’m wearing one of my favorite summer dresses. Stripes of course! Classic, and so easy to wear. I love the shape of this dress (which wasn’t originally this length, another of my alterations) this type of round neck sleeveless garments are so perfect, the fit almost everyone and make arms look nicer. The wideness of this dress makes it so comfortable and free to move in, and of course it allows your skin to breathe something we all thank for during hot months. In general I see so many advantages on this dress that of course I would suggest it, to anyone.
Unfortunately it is from last summer so it’s no longer available, but I have a few similar suggestions for you.
-THIS DRESS by Fred Perry is lovely, short sleeved but with a similar shape.
-THIS DRESS is virtually a copy of mine, instead of navy stripes it has black stripes. No offense, but of course I would never buy this dress, it completely goes against my main principle when shopping, less quantity and more quality. But if you don’t care about quality and want something disposable, go ahead.
-THIS DRESS by Marc by Marc Jacobs is gorgeous and has a beautiful shape, again similar to mine somewhat more rigid and structured, with lovely light blue stripes. You can find more cute blue prom dresses online.
Now to what i’m wearing. Click on the name of the brand to purchase the item.
Ray-Ban sunglasses, Wood Wood dress, Superga sneakers and Louis Vuitton Sofia Coppola bag.
I wore it so much last summer and during Christmas holidays in South America and certainly will keep wearing it this summer. Same goes for my white Superga sneakers that might need to be replaced very soon.
Saying goodbye to spring is so hard for me. I see how summer is fast approaching and my favorite season ends! I know most people get super excited for summer, I did as a kid but when I grew up something changed and I became a spring lover. Days are longer in spring, everyday is unexpected you can wake up and find heat and sun, or cold and rain or a mild cloudy day, or all of the above.
Getting dress is also so much more fun, you can layer, play with lengths in tops and bottoms, wear sandals with coats, and sweaters with shorts, the advantages are endless! Trees are filled with flowers and mosquitos are not around as much as in summer. And I could go on. Instead i’ll just say goodbye to all the pretty flowers and all of my spring basics, such as my sweatshirts, and leather jackets, and thicker jeans, and ill try to do my best shopping for summer garments, which I hardly own, but this year I set myself to buy more.
I’m wearing: Ray-Ban sunglasses, A.P.C sweatshirt, Mih Jeans halsy jeans, Superga sneakers and Louis Vuitton Sofia Coppola bag.
Some mid-spring inspiration outfits!
Denim Jacket by R13, striped top by Comme des Garçons Play, skirt by Vanessa Bruno, sunglasses by Ray-Ban, trio bag by Celine, sneakers by Superga.
A.P.C cardigan, top and sandals, Acne Studios jeans, Ray-Ban sunglasses, Cartier watch, Louis Vuitton handbag.
As you can see from my pictures today, the weather is back to crazy, sunny one second, cloudy the next, and it’s been colder this past few days, so it’s outerwear time all over again.
One of the most suitable garments for this type of weather is my Petit Bateau striped top. Unlike my other stripes, this one is thicker and has a slightly higher neck too, so it works wonders with this climate. I wear it with absolutely everything and today i’m wearing it with one of my black pants, suit trousers to be exact. As I mentioned on my “Wardrobe Essentials” post, this is one of my core items of clothing because of its versatility and sleekness. Worn with sneakers it’s as casual as it gets, but as I have explained many times, I need the comfort factor in my daily outfits, and sneakers top that category.
I’m wearing: Ray-Ban classic wayfarer sunglasses, Petit Bateau striped top, The Kooples trousers, Superga sneakers and Louis Vuitton Sofia Coppola handbag.
