How about adding bright colours to winter season? Don't know how it is in your countries, but in Latvia winter is usually painted in dark colours, like black, various shades of grey and so on. Actually, back in December I was looking for a good white puffer jacket, though I ended up with a black one. I believe I couldn't beat the system that time. But I think I am going to do it with today's story and this very summer-much outfit

And, yes, today's story is definitely kicking Latvian winter's ass. Despite the fact if it's snowing outside or raining. The yellow COS dress is like a vitamin dose. And we all have vitamins shortage during winter. I like the fact that the dress is pretty opened and summer-y on one hand and quite elegant on the other one. Perspex heels? Just a perfect pair of shoes to beat the system. Don't you think?

Who said January is not a party month? Who said winter is not a party season? Right, nobody ever said that. So why not put that stunning party dress that you've been putting aside for quite a long time now and not go and continue celebrating this beautiful year? Yes, I do believe this year is going to be beautiful... for all of us. Just to say, for me it started with some interesting, good and at times new stuff. 

But, well, let's go back to party dresses. I mean perfect party dresses. Where would I recommend you to search for one? At Femme Luxe, for sure. The brand has quite a lot of stunning women's dresses (oops, I think I already mentioned it before). The brand has lots of feminine, sexy, hot, elegant, body hugging options that will go for an evening out. 

Dress number one is all about elegance and femininity. First of all, it's in midi-length. Secondly, it has a nice curves hugging shape. Plus it has only one sleeve and this asymmetry only adds a twist. I paired it with platform sandals and a couple of fine jewellery - customized bangles. 

Dress number two is a completely different story. It's hot, it's provocative. First of all, it's in super mini-length. Secondly, it has a snake print - a pretty trending one at the moment. And, finally, it's of PU material. Let's be honest, this dress speaks for itself. I paired it with trending transparent heels so as not to out shadow the dress. 

How do you feel about knitted dresses when it's a deep winter outside the window? Do you leave it, I mean your favourite or a pretty new cute dress, for better days or you are still brave enough to battle the cold? Well, I believe that winter is not an excuse to avoid wearing knitted dresses. Pay attention, I'm not talking here about chiffon or other light ones. Today I'm concentrating exclusively on knits. 

Therefore, to be able to talk about this topic I created two different yet at some point similar outfits. To sort of picture my examples. Have to mention that both dresses were found at Femme Luxe, also the brand has many other interesting options (read 'not only knitted dresses'). So I highly recommend you to go and check their range... of course straight after you finish reading this story.  

Look number one is all about a colourful piece. I mean dress of course. Have to be honest at this point, only after trying this dress on I realized that mustard shade suits me (should probably point out this color for myself for future). So, the coolest, and best, way to style such a dress is to pair it, first of all, with interesting tights. I went for a very popular polka dot pattern. Also don't forget to warm up, a good vintage fur can be an option... especially if it's super oversized. The outcome - luxurious and fashionable outfit at the same time. 

Look number two is about more casual option of a knitted dress. White and in midi length (also, maybe it's important to mention that it's of ribbed texture). So here a colourful fur can go well. Of course faux fur one. Pay attention, that the fur isn't way too short, comparing to the dress, as a pretty serious difference in length won't look good enough. What about a bag? I went for a piece that matches all the outfit elements in terms of colours - burgundy, white and black. Also, thanks to the color match and the print the bag does bring the outfit to a new level. The outcome - stylish and warm outfit at the same time. 

With some print-much touch.

It's not a secret that I do like practicality and simplicity in terms of clothing. Therefore, it's not a surprise that something minimalistic does suit my wardrobe direction. To say that I'm a fan of minimalism? I wouldn't dare. But if I had to choose between too much stuff in an outfit or a more minimalistic approach, I would definitely go for the second option. I think the 'less is more' strategy really does fit here.

Speaking of COS brand, I've already come across it few years ago - in stories like Not So Blurred Lines and Falling for Bordeaux. It was my first experience with the brand and it was sort of a discovery for me that something so simple fits me. Maybe it was actually that starting point when my style turned towards a simple, practical direction. Years later we still see COS going its minimalistic path - like in a story Post Post with COS or today's one.

When it comes to this outfit, I wanted it to be as simple as possible. And also I wanted this set to be the centre of this fashion combination. I like this quirky print, it adds a twist to this skirt co-ord. Now I know, I know the outfit is not very winter appropriate... I guess I'm just already looking forward for spring and those days when one can easily wear high heels outdoors. To say that I'm tired of winter? No, no way. I do enjoy this season. Just like all the other ones.
