Simone - Your Style Architect: tulle skirts

Showing posts with label tulle skirts. Show all posts

Good weekend to all of you. Amazing how quick time passes and the weekend is almost over.

I hope you had a chance to read my last post which was a guest post from Yen of DIVA IN ME! An accomplished and very supportive fellow blogger, you must read Yen's tips on trending jackets for Winter 2016. If you have not read it yet, do click here to be inspired.

Fall and winter has always been a time when I seem to start to really cover up ( reasonably so due to the cold weather, and so often, I tend to opt for pants / jeans more than skirts). However, feeling a little girly and since the weather is only pretty cold during the early mornings and evenings yet warming up to a nice 20 degrees in the afternoons, hence I figured, I could still take on this look before it gets much colder.

Whilst online with my favourite store, I saw this lovely floral bag strap which matched perfectly with my Katie Judith peek a boo style bag. This kicked off the basis of this outfit coming together.

Always loving how denim adds that rock edge to an outfit - I decided to pair the complete opposite feel with this denim shirt with a girly tulle skirt, which is one of Fall Winter 2016 skirt trends and there you go!

As you will see from the designers who trended tulle skirts for their Fall Winter 2016 collections below, most of them highlighted the fact that tulle skirts are pretty see through - often pairing with nice bodysuits or even bloomers. Therefore, the pleat style on this skirt - another IN trend for Winter skirts mostly seen on metallic skirt styles - paired with the transparency of tulle certainly equals girly elegance.

I am sure you would have noticed this recent floral / patterned bag strap trend with major designers like Fendi, Hermes etc... so when I saw this lovely floral strap available on my favourite online store, I had to have it. Don't you think it's such a pretty accessory to have?

My lovely rescue dog Rum was obviously wondering what was going on with the photoshoot and so photobombed a couple of shots. And yes, she has started to learn how " not to look directly at the camera" after a few " training shots". Ha ha....

My 11 yr old Cocker Spaniel - Cookie, also wanted to get in the action. So please excuse the doggie distractions. They both especially loved the twirling of the tulle skirts. Well, girls will be girls right?

My favourite Marc Jacobs ballerina flats in silver was pulled out of the wardrobe to complete this look.

A good weekend to all of you.

These shots were taken awhile back when I had done a Video on White Shirt Pairings and thought it would be nice to re-post this look to inspire you to trend maxi tulle skirts for the rest of Summer.

The peachy tone of the skirt and it's flowing gracefulness reminds me so much of attending a Garden Party - even more so ( if I could ever have a chance) one in Tuscany. Just that cool casualness about this outfit is ideal for even Sunday Brunch or a Weekend Wedding.

Trending with old accessory favourites from my wardrobe - metallic clutch, layered stacked bracelets, thick studded waist belt and my beloved Michael Kors watch to complete the look.

Here are some street styles of wearing Long / Maxi Tulle skirts. Remember pairing it with an appropriate style top would define the outfit as you would like it to be e.g glamourous or dress down.

Hi everyone!

Sorry for the delay in the release of this post - as most of you would know I usually post twice a week. However last week was just crazy busy for me with Connor celebrating his 8th birthday and I had a bunch of his friends over, soccer trials and birthday parties to attend. Was also busy with work so couldn't get any personal down time to blog.

So will keep this post short to pick up the pace again. Not sure if many of you have been noticing the current trends of bloggers and fashionistas sporting tulle skirts in many of their IG and blog posts. Recalling I had one such skirt tucked away at the back of my closet - I decided to pull it out again and style it for Spring 2015.

As I mentioned in a previous post - gladiator heels are an back in trend for Spring Summer 2015 and I just love this pair sooo much. As high as it looks, these snakeskin platform gladiator heels are so comfortable, I could run in it - literally!

I particularly chose to put this look together with the intention of contradicting feels to the outfit. Ballerina sweet blended with a rock chic biker element. Classy yet Sexy with the gladiator heels.

Fooling around having fun during the shoot. Am so glad to inject a new life to this old piece from couple of years back.

Whilst putting this outfit together, I felt the vibe of Carrie Bradshaw from " Sex In The City" wearing this skirt. I do love her quirky way of dressing and certainly this is one look she sported that is imprinted in my mind.

So here are how my fellow bloggers are styling their tulle skirts. Would you try this trend? Please share with me your thoughts on this item in the comments below and tell me which is your favourite way to style this skirt?
