Today was one of those days when you can actually feel that winter is starting to let go. It’s still cold but spring is lingering in the air. It gives such a great feeling and is the perfect chance to wear something else than jeans.

Top: Mango
Skirt: Vintage, taylor made, print doesn’t show well but it’s of people walking in a park (Skirt is easy to make if you take a look at this post.)
Tights: Gift from one of my sisters
Pumps: Secondhand
Velvet belt: Secondhand
Velvet clutch: Secondhand (Actually a make up bag.)

…I predicted to be big for fall? Well, after that post more and more designers showed similar dresses which only builds up under my theory. It’s not very special or anything, infact it’s very simple, but simple is often the best. I have already seen several like them secondhand so there’s a good chance of finding one cheap. Here are a few more, but there were tons of them on the runway. It’s no longer the velvet but the cut I am interested in: high cut round neck, no arms, often knee length and often some kind of marking of the waist.

Etro, Jil Sander, Alberta Ferretti and Andrew Gn.
