An office dress and rubber boots

It's been a very quite month on the garderobe, but was nothing like it for me. Juggling 7am work start, intermittent kind of relationship, doctor appointments and self grudging ambitions keept holding me back from churning out some good quality articles that are all freshly cooked and ready to go up (just need to be written): pyjama suits from Stella McCartney, how cool to be simple and that I' ve got a pair of carrot-orange Wellies.
I do! I really really do.
All in all, I have now accumulated quite a bit stuff which is bound to appear here very soon.
Meanwhile I am sharing a picture of my new dress which I wore to work this week and received lots gratitude from the contemplators ...in other words compliments.
There are so many things about this dress that makes it tick. First of all the cut is simple and very well done. The fabric is light but doesn't crumple hence it flows effortlessly and with style (I suspect it must be super synthetic, however not sweaty).
The skirt swerves down from around your waste creating an endless swing around your hips and bottom. It is a bell-shape hence it flatteringly disguises the bits you want to be covered (well, I want). And the length is the supper-dupper winning length. I discovered it when I had my very first skirt brought to me by my mum from Amsterdam. It was an H&M skirt, and back in Latvia we didn't  know about the brand which sounded so brandishly chick and cool. I was a school girl and it was the most beautiful skirt I've ever had. (I have seriously fallen out of love with skirts these days though)
So the length, yes, half a knee is a trick. Half a knee covers the fat part of a knee, oh c'mon ladies, we al know that this little freaky bump right above your kneecap just makes you cringe especially when you pinch it with your fingers ..yuuuk, hate the thing, but once it covered, the visible rest of your knees look tiny and thin, and following the look down towards the shoes the calfs would be wider and then thinner again at the ankles. This subtle and line creates a visual effect of longer and leaner limbs!

Another trick are the colours of this dress. Some of the squares are coral rather than red.  The one on the top part is definitely coral. When trying the dress I had an option to go for a red square, but the coral is much more subtle and is flattering to the skin colour. And I absolutely love the fact that the background is sandy-beige instead of a plain white.
I have to admit this super dress went with a hideous piece of a belt which I had to remove together with the eyelets. Nevertheless 5* to the garment, and guess what- produced in Estonia. Would you believe it? Vyery vyery chip too!

Now I need a pair of these patented nude platforms. Any ideas? Only vyery vyery chip are accepted.

Ok, more to come. Watch this space.

Hope for Spring to bring an end to seasonal incongruity

Indeed, I pray for spring to get those ugg-lovers out of their horrible footwear...but most probably, just for those to be replaced with -not any better -Wellingtons.

Not only the whole outfit gives an impression that its' carrier must be moving house - - with all her belongings inaccessibly (and stupidly) packed away, or worse- poor sod living on extremely scarce means- not being able to afford a decent pair of winter shoes. I allow a thought of some people favouring comfort to a style. But really! 

Many would agree that improperly worn uggs is such a common encounter on our streets (if only those can be worn properly, I wonder. I presume that a comfort of one's home should be a good scene. Hidden away from anybody's eyes. But once again, I honestly prefer to look at my hottest at home- for somebody special to rest their eyes upon me). I guess everyone remember one of those encounters when you watch a girl walking in front of you with one of her uggs unbelievably worn out, chubby and smudged with dirt...but worn with shorts or mini?

There is nothing more preposterous than wearing clothes that is out of season, or likewise in this case- so irritably incongruous. Regardless how tempting it might feel to wear your Chanel-like marine shorts and white little cap. Believe me others won't see what you see- sailing away on a glamorous yacht into blues of Mediterranean ...No. They would see a desperately daring attempt to stand out in chilling cold, sweeping-you-off-the-feet- winds, still in this urbane- industrialised city, amongst all-they-have seen society. You won't impress anyone. More likely you would get a contemptuous looks from wiser fashion gurus, condescending grins from old ladies and a right pass through to a genicologist!

Saying all this, I can not deny wearing a leather jacket every day.....in my room though...anticipating for appropriate time. And yes, it may look great in a contrast with woollen sweaters, hats, gloves and thick winter jackets. And yes- seriously-  it would look ludicrous if I wear it now. Aknowledged.

Hence I tuck into my gloomy wintery tweeds, and wait for a right time to come, whilst gibing away at others.
