One of the directions I want to take my wardrobe in 2025 is dressing more according to seasons and context, away from universal one-suites-all-occasions outfits. It is less about fitting into fashion seasons then about being in the present, paying attention to what is going on around me.
So it is early spring here right now - almond trees broke into bloom two days ago (when I first saw that Van Gogh painting I recognized instantly what he saw), but it is not warm enough for single layer of clothes or sandals. (at least not warm enough for me, teenagers and tourists from Northen Europe went all short sleeve !)
I took inventory of my clothes for the first time and realized that all my colder weather things are dark and definitely not spring-like.
So I thought what would feel like spring to me: light and clear colors, especially of water and spring flours, transparency (I would really like to have some cristal or glass jewelry), flawing fabrics, pearls and mother of pearls, silver, dress or skirt or scarf with a swoosh, watercolor print…
What says spring to you?
I have one eau-de-Nil sweater and that’s it (I have some clear color blouses but don’t know how to combine them with warmer layers).
Pants seem bit too formal but otherwise I like the way it turned out (pants and under layer are navy, not black like it seem on the photo) . I tried to do lighter makeup and wavy hair. Shoes are disappointing as usual, but I am working on it.
