A simple Impact

As summer is approaching there is always the idea of buying that perfect basic thing that would make you feel fresh summery and just Fab. I’m sure all of us have already surfed through all the online shops looking for this special garment: dress, shorts, top… As for me, I did too. And found out, that actually there is one and only basic “thing” that would work perfectly for spring –summer time and for every occasion. I’m talking about that beloved basic white T-shirt. Exactly!

The one, that you could, possibly, find everywhere from H&M to Net-a-Porter. I’ve found some great ones on Re/Done online store. They do look cool and vintage (that perfect vintageness of a white tee is what I was looking for).

Here is the thing, I was just thinking that there is some good reason to swap your beloved white cotton shirt (which is very trendy and very 90s now) to simple white Tee. I’m not talking about pairing it with ubiquitous vintage Levi’s (what looks great beyond controversy), think wearing it for special occasions, for evening dressing. Pair it with beautiful Alexander McQueen Ruffled silk maxi skirt, or Temperley London maxi skirt. There was a time I was eager to wear a white tee on my wedding day pairing it with one of those dreamy Lanvin maxi skirts. But I ended up just dreaming…(whatever).

Albeit there are much more possibilities of wearing a basic white tee not like a basic. Again, for going out – imagine it with a high-waisted black pair of jeans and some colourful high-heeled sandals (green?), don’t forget about adding a pair of drop earrings. For more casual looks – I think there is nothing much to say: just wear you white tee instead of white shirt, you would look much more younger and carefree. And just for the record, it’s better to have both…))

Fishnets

Even though I am not a man, but fishnet tights worn by a woman have always excited my mind. Remember the seductive feeling when looking at Hollywood retro glam divas. But myself being more of a shy person I’ve never ventured to wear them. Fortunately, this London Fashion Week  showed the perfect way of wearing this kind of hosiery – under denim. This is another way of showing off your feminine side along with love for denim. Try wearing your fishnets under distressed boyfriend jeans, for more ladylike look go for denim knee skirt or for the seductive look pair yours with denim shorts (Wow, that could be too much, but certainly head turning, specially with a biker jacket thrown over your shoulders)

If you are still gravitating towards more classic approach, see how some ladies are mastering this trend perfectly without looking slutty. Carine Roitfeld, for me I can’t imagine her not wearing this kind of tights once in a while, or Diane Kruger, lately spotted at Charles Finch and Chanel Pre-Oscar party, wearing fishnets with mini dress. I think that even pairing fishnets with a summer dress gives you even more charm than wearing just a dress.

So, there is one more thing that is on my wish list for the spring. – Oh no, wait I remember that I’ve still got Wolford’s the twenties pair from 2005. Got to go dig them out.
