Retro Dress Inspiration: 4 dresses, 4 styles, all flawless

Happy Friday! Today I want to offer you something very usual. Today I want to chat with you. Normally when I write a post about something I give you a lot of space to look through the images and normally I don't push you to read, pay attention to the details or something. If I talk about fashion show I stick to only interesting facts (or may be very strong personal emotions, which I think benefit both of us). If I am showing my own outfit I normally mention why I wore this outfit, if there was an idea behind it, how did I feel wearing this particular outfit. If it's the inspiration post I simply state out what I liked this particular item and why chose the theme for the outfit. Today I want to spill more words, more thought and thus more effort into this post. I hope you will like it. I am not sure if I like enough to make it again any time soon but who knows, may be I will fall in love with long reads, right? Anyway, this time more than ever i want to hear your thoughts and impressions about my post. 
To make this post for you I  needed an interesting subject. As it is a hot summer day today I chose to write about dresses because I hardly wear anything else. To do so I decided to pick a new place for me so I don't have to keep in mind if I ever posted about anything from this online shop. I went to Zapaka boutique  this time, it is beautiful place to shop clothes for women and it's Swedish. I think I found a great place!
When I was choosing the styles for you I realized I mostly have my eyes on dress with distinct vintage vibe. I didn't want to fight it so you will mostly see these styles in this post. If not feel free to skip it: after all I want to know what you think. Let's take a look at what a fine Swedish lady would call retro klänning

Let's start with 60s! Many women find a lot of feminine inspiration in this period and I am no different. If I look for something girly, cute, elegant and easy to pull for a date I do think similar styles. Here I also love the calm yet unusual green color. Model has a matched headband which I think is mandatory for the dress.

Moving next: 40s? Not sure but it does give a vibe of it. I like similar styled dresses and it's actually a bit versatile option than the one before. Seriously, if you play around with accessories you can make it look very different. I think this particular dress is an investment. You can simply style it with heels and a purse (preferably of the same color) and be ready or add various options to play around with times. This dress can easily be worn with sneakers and a baseball cap giving an absolutely different look. Also this dress is very nice for meeting with family or your partner's family for the first-ish time.

You definitely knew I'd post 20s here as well. Gatsby kläder is a must in post like this and I just couldn't miss it. This dress scrims party to me and everyone else. Yes, it's not as popular and easy to find like couple of years ago but at the same time wearing this dress you wear the dress and the style you like not some trend made by a movie. Not that I really mind 'The Great Gatsby' movie, I just prefer to be there for clothes and style and love. I chose red because it's less common. The skirt is done beautifully here. At the same time waistline is a bit less 20s than you might want if you really go for the style, however this makes this dress far better for curvy body which (let's admit) is far more usual than boyish (which is perfect for lowered waistline)
As me have started with parties, I couldn't help but find and feature a dress perfect for dances. Surely, it's 50s rockabilly dress! Iconic skirt, iconic red polka dots and no sleeves. If you ask me which dress I will end up buying if I had a goal to find myself a new dress from this post, this is my winner. I love having no sleeves and closed chest. Huge skirts make me feel happy and having my hips covered makes me feel 100% secure and stylish. And after all you never know when you date invites you on a dance, right?

Did you enjoy this unusual post form me? Did you like the dresses I chose? Do you want me to analyze my pick more closely in future? All of this and anything else too is most welcome in comments.


 

Have a nice day,
Lyosha

Still can't skate

Each year they set up a free artificial ice skating area as part of Christmas village in our city. I have tried it several times before and could never figure it out. But it is fun anyways. There is something in doing something horribly without any shame. I am not trying to excel in it and for some reason it it truly deeply liberating. What do you think? I wore simple and comfy outfit. Cropped top with Nightmare before Christmas print (it is Christmas theme for me, ok), comfortable back cargo pants and sneakers. You can not really top that. I was wearing: Cuidado con el Perro top and pants Converse shoes   Have a nice day, Lyosha

More about hats

How did you welcome a new year? I did it calmly with lots of time dedicated to myself. Man, I needed a nice little break here and there, especially as my little one is home for a school break. I have had a lot of fun but I also managed to dig in some interesting information I really want to share with you. I now live in the hot climate and wear hats only for style but I used to wear hats to keep me warm years back. And you know what I am happy I have a choice. These days I wear a lot of bucket hats and baseball hats and occasionally rock a fedora. Do you fancy some hats? I used to wear wool based hats all the time but I never actually didn't try to alter it. recently I found a great way to alter them and get them to fit you perfectly. I would love to share it with you because I know just how much a good fit changes the whole perspective on a life in the cold. I have discovered three fantastic ways to deal with it: hot water pot, shower and washing machine (only applicable on bucke...

Walk the river

Today I want to tell about vacation of mine. I don't want to start chronologically instead I want to show you the best day ever we spend in Gelendgik area. It was a day full of walking swimming and fun. We went to a special nature area park build around river Zhane. Mountains and absolutely dreamy rocks everywhere with waterfalls and baths. The scenery is so dreamy I just couldn't help it! So let the photo speak for themselves. We actually swam in the river. So refreshing and totally wild. I was so impressed that I felt like sea is only a so-so place for swimming after magic rivers Zhane and Pshada (I'll tell you about it in my next post). I wore my wonderful romper I take with me on most of the trips (it asked for no space and fits perfectly. Flipflops make walking around the rocket harder but if you need to step onto the river all the times it is an optimal choice. Comfy tiny bight blue-green top to finish the outfit alongside with a ca...
