I think I am not the only one who would like to replace the whole closet with new clothes for a new season. New collections are so fresh and tempting and suddenly all my clothes seem to be old and dull. Of course I never buy as many clothes as I would like to because I simply can’t afford that. I buy only some key pieces to keep my wardrobe up to date. But I can never resist buying new accessories, which are usually cheaper than clothes so they are not too heavy for my budget. A new scarf or tights make an old jacket or dress look fresh and interesting.

I always dreamed about strapless dress. Bare shoulders look very sexy but (unlike too short mini skirt or too low neckline) never vulgar. Unfortunately (or luckily?) I have full busted figure and I have never found a strapless bra which would give me proper support and basques feel more like armor than lingerie. So I accepted the fact that my shoulders would be always covered. And then last summer I discovered one shoulder dresses and tops. One strap or sleeve is enough to hide two straps of multiway bra (which is much more comfortable and safer than strapless). Of course asymmetric is not the same as strapless but at least one shoulder stays bare. These are some of my favourites asymmetric clothes:

There’s something special in 1950’s. For past few season those years influence todays fashion and it seems that clothes women wore almost 60 years ago still inspire designers. What I like the most from the whole range of 1950’s inspired clothes are knee -lenth full skirts and dresses. A dress with fitted bodice and full skirt plus a pair of heels is the most elegant and feminine outfit I can imagine. I do like flower prints so flower printed dress in style of 1950’s is just perfect.



I found this gorgeous leather clutch on asos.com. It is simple envelope shaped bag. I love it because of this sweet and bold raspberry colour. It is quite large so can hold all necessary things.

Very elegant courts with almond toe. Animal texture and the buckle make them look fantastic. These classic shoes will be perfect for work but also will look great with a cocktail dress in the evening. The heel is not too high so they can be worn all day. They are available in black and nude. I prefer the nude ones - I need to lighten up my wardrobe for the spring time.
