Good am, Saturday. Why am I up so early today? Dunno. Went to make coffee and realized I have no milk. Now I am debating about going out to get some caffeine but also don't feel like moving, so decided to write a bit instead.
I woke up and looked at the Bottega show, and damn if Mr. Maier did not send mostly dresses and skirted looks down the runway. I'm not even sure why you'd need to wear pants in the warmer months- I am the ultimate fan of dresses and love the ease and coolness of wearing them when it's warm. I'm loving the shorter versions but also he's made my fav- just above the knee, a flattering length for many of us that don't want to wear super short anymore. I just love these looks- digging the dark, deep colors even though it's Spring time (pretty with tan legs). He never ceases to make something utterly beautiful. Such a lovely designer who really understands that although women want to look feminine, they also want to feel strong and empowered. This is that collection for those of us who love the former, but truly embrace the latter. My favorites may be the black sleeveless pleated dress with the ruffled neck (he also did longer lengths too), the short sheath with the jacket, and the black blouse with the brown skirt. I'd wear any of those anywhere and feel right as rain. And I'm a fan of the subdued palette. After all, I don't live in Miami anymore. Darkness suits me.
Cause that's what's up this pre-caffeinated Saturday in the 718. Hope you have a lovely weekend. XO
