Last week spring started officially and its capricious weather is here to make us wonder, how it can happen that one day it is warm and windy and the other day cold or rainy.

Glorious flowers, fluttering butterflies, humming bees and chittering birds are – I think – the most beautiful things about spring and they always remind us to the bright side of this season.

On the picture below I collected some lovely pieces with different animal prints, which can look actually very festive, especially on a black background.

  The items are from StyleWe and from Just Fashion Now. You can find more animal print dresses and tops or other dresses for spring browsing through their sites. There are so many different models and styles, that you can easily find the perfect item for every occasion.

What do you like most about spring? Do you have a favourite animal print? Which one of these dresses would you most likely wear?

Ponchos and capes for cold weather

With December the cold weather arrived in Europe. It is icy and snowy and if you are not really a winter-person, you probably feel yourself best inside the house in a heated room. Wearing layers is a good idea in this season. You never know how the temperature will be in a building you need to make a visit for example and this way you can make sure that it is neither hot or cold for you.

If you are lucky to live in a place where the winter is mild you can wear a nice poncho over your jumper and you are ready to go. But at other places you need to wear them under your winter coat. There are some sweaters in a style of a poncho which are perfect for layering.

Above you can see some of my favourites. The colours I choose are neutral: grey and black. They can be worn with a lot of other colours and shades. You can create a lazy or an elegant outfit depending on the clothes, shoes and accessories you wear with them. It’s all up to you. Grab yours now at StyleWe, just make a visit at the pages of fashion poncho and capes. You can also find them on Twitter and Instagram.

Do you like to wear a poncho or a cape? Do you have one in your wardrobe at the moment? What do you think about the pieces on the picture?

The colour of innocence

All colours have their meanings, their characteristics. White is the most innocent of them. It is the symbol of purity and cleanness. The lightest colour which is worn by most of the brides at traditional weddings.

It represents perfection and also a new beginning. It is said that you might desire to wear white clothing or to surround yourself with white items at times when you are moving in a new direction in your life. These can be situations like moving house, seeking a new career or a new relationship.

Wearing a white maxi dress gives you a pure look. You will shine in the colour of innocence. On the picture below you can see three beautiful women dresses, all in white of course. They are ideal for special occasions but the lace dress in the middle makes a perfect beach ouftit as well.

Falling leaves, pumpkins and sweater dresses

Every season is special and has its own beauty. There are little miracles that can happen only during those months. Autumn has colours that none of the other seasons have. It is about colourful, falling leaves, funny or scary pumpkins, cosy clothes and nice boots.

Sweater dresses are perfect for this season. Depending on the weather you can wear them barelegged, with tights, knee socks, leggings or even with skinny pants. Pair them with ankle, normal or over-the-knee boots, you can’t go wrong. Sweater dresses are great because you can dress them up or down very easily. If they are shapeless just add a belt to them. Choose a thin belt or a big statement belt to achieve different looks. Wear them simple or add some jewellery, everything is up to you. Wether they are tight or loose, they are definitely cosy and look great.

I collected some nice sweater dresses for you from StyleWe. Some of them are plain-coloured, other ones are patterned. Yellow is for example a great autumnal colour.

Colour psychology with evening dresses

Long evening dresses have their own beauty and they always look gorgeous. They can be worn mainly at special occasions like a wedding. There are different syles and silhouettes so you can find the one that you feel great in. Try to choose a dress that suits not just your sense of style but also your figure and you will shine.

The colour of the dress is very important. Black, white and nude are always a good choice but there are other  shades which remain classic by evening dresses. Just think of the colours blue, red or burgundy.

To choose the right dress, you need to take account of your eye, hair and skin colour. The dress that looks great on a blonde, whose skin is snow-white doesn’t necessarily suit a brown-haired, suntanned-skinned girl.

However there is surely one colour that you like to wear and you know that it suits you every time you are wearing it. Maybe that will be the right shade for you when you are looking for the perfect evening dress.

Did you know that the colours even have a psychology? It is not for dresses but it might be something that you are interested in to read. So let’s have a look at some colours and their meanings.

   Black: power, elegance.

   White: innocence, purity, cleanness.

   Grey: balance, neutrality.

   Red: energy, love, passion, desire.

   Blue: trust, loyalty.

   Purple: wealth, spirituality.

   Green: growth, health.

   Yellow: optimism, warmth, happiness.

A classic black or white maxi dress is always a good choice but in case you would prefer some more colour, on the picture above I collected some beautiful women dresses for you. I found the clutches browsing in the section of gifts for Thanksgiving Day. I hope you like them too.
