I wish I was wearing

I don’t know how the weather is treating you this end of April in your part of the world, but summer temperatures are in full swing here. This Etro silk dress is the kind of look I wish I could live in these days: very feminine, flapper cut, not plain black and white, but adorned with a gentle, deconstructed, lilac and pale orange coloured paisley print, the emblem of the Etro house, which beautifully plays up the b&w graphic theme. An elegant silhouette which moves with lightness is the perfect choice for someone who walks more than drives, like me.
Have a wonderful week!

    I hope the weather gets better here sooner rather than later. I am still wearing my warm sweater right now… 🙁
    The dress really is gorgeous. I think you can wear it from morning till night with a chance of shoes and accessories… I wouldn’t mind having one either. 🙂

    Hi Ada. Hope you had a nice weekend… Here the weather is crazy so patience.
    Etro prints are always sofisticated and fabulous. This dress of simple lines looks gorgeous and light by the original print and the soft fabric. Good eye.
    Have a wonderful Monday too!

    We are having our first sunny day in a month here in London so this dress is absolutely perfect for my mood!

    This dress is beautiful! And I’m glad you’ve been having summery weather. Ask a bit of it to come my way, please : )

    Summer temps haven’t been around for the month of April here, but this week is supposed to be in the 70’s and 80’s so things are looking up up up! Very chic dress for a hot summer’s day! Happy Monday to you sweetie!

    I’ve always loved flapper dresses and I’m so happy the 20’s are back!

    Dear Ada, the weather is not treating me/Brussels very well: we got a glimp of sun and a lot of clouds, but I cannot wait to wear some lighter clothes! This dress is beautiful and it would be perfect to channel The Great Gasby trend (BTW, I cannot wait to see that movie…)
