Sun kissed

How about showcasing spring’s vivid fashion in a sun-kissed trench coat or a beautiful blouse, extravagantly tailored (which adds a luxe edge even to short pants)? I’m all for it. It’s about time to give a try to a trench coat in a different color than beige or black and bright yellow would capture a chic look at its best. A breath of fresh air (the waist ribbon in the image below adds that extra touch). This legendary item, a classic icon of style, portrayed in so many memorable movies, continues to have a seductive appeal season after season. What about you? What trench color seduces you this spring?

Cred ca e timpul sa incerc si alta culoare in afara de bej si negru cand vine vorba the trench. Trench-ul, de care am vorbit de nenumarate ori si care imi este indipensabil in aceste luni. Si ca sa ma folosesc din plin de moda stralucitoare a primaverii, merg cu incredere pe o nuanta vie de galben. Nu cred ca exista alta mai potrivita pentru a pastra eleganta clasica a acestei piese, dar care sa-i si confere un aer revigorant.

    Aaaaaahhh…. That blouse is so beautiful!!! I want one like this. Speaking of trenches, am really into yellow and orange ones at the moment, so if one pops up somewhere, I will certainly be very tempted. Otherwise, will have to do with my cream one instead, but add yellow dresses. xxx

    Dear Ada, I love yellow! I abslutely adore it and it always whispers “Spring” to me. I have this airy YSL top in pale yellow silk I have been longing to wear for months now! It is cold and rainy in New York and Spring is nowhere to be found! Thank you for the wonderful post full of inspiration and color!

      @Anya
      Today is the warmest day we’ve had in months, hope it will last. So I guess I was a little influenced by it for this sunny post. 🙂

    What a happy post, love it! Thanks also, for being inspired and sharing my tulip photo’s:) Just send you an email with a little problem I have with your blog:s
    And about the trench, a bright colored one would be great though I think you get over that one very quickly. I think I would never have a problem putting on a neutral colored one every day, which I would have with a bright colored one…

    I love trenches in their classic colour – beige. As seen on Audrey Hepburn in “Breakfast at Tiffany’s”. Just perfect!

    All of these pieces are gorgeous! I love the yellow but will have to think if it will go with my skin tone or not… Such a fun thing to contemplate!

    It’s such a beautiful color to sport for spring! I especially love pale yellow colors in clothes and bright yellows in accessories! The last picture makes me smile 🙂 xoxoxoxo

    culoarea asta ma fascineaza, insa nu m-am decis inca daca am curajul sa o port.
    uhm…:)

    a trench in a bright colour is definitely a fashionable option and a step aside from the usual beige/grey ones…but is it really worth it? yes, indeed, it gives you a fresh input, but I don’t see it as a piece that would last, so I would spend on it… would you see yourselves wearing a kiwi green trench in 5 years now? 🙂

      @Rox
      I agree, a bold colored trench coat is not a timeless item, I myself have a beige one and black one and I usually invest in natural, classic colors I can count on for many years. It’s just sometimes I like to step out of my comfort zone and play a little bit with fashion. 🙂
