One of the greatest benefits of being an avid blog reader is knowing what is hot, how to wear something to its highest potential, and when something is in-store and available for you to come see in person!
Allow us the divine pleasure of introducing you to the Dirndle Skirt--- THE skirt of summertime this season.....Here's a few reasons (beyond the obvious) to pick up on this look now:
-Denim skirts are sexy of course, but you want to move away from the crowd for a moment and really stand out.
-Light, light, and light! The 2008 Dirndl Skirts are next to wearing nothing, ladies.
-Fluid sex appeal, not restrictive. These skirts can double as a dress! Check this out: your at a BBQ during the day wearing the dirndl skirt with a low cut tank with ballerina flats. 9pm rolls around and you ditch the tank, pull up the skirt to show those legs and add your 3" pumps or knee high boots! And, when the fall rolls around and days start getting cooler, guess whats not going away with your summer digs? Really!! Wear it with thick tights and boots or stacked knee-high socks through the fall for a warm fall look.
Check out this summary about the Dirndl Skirt by Vicky Talbot (Editor of BellaOnline)
"Evolving dramatically over the decades, the dirndl has fast become a key trend especially during the 1950s, defining the curves of Audrey Hepburn and Grace Kelly worn long and flowing with chiffon tops cinched at the waist. Sex and the City’s Carrie Bradshaw was a clear fan of the dirndl wearing dramatically billowing style with pretty pumps and tiny vests. More recently, Brit-pop princess Lily Allen the queen of prom night chic and fond follower of fifties-inspired fashion is often seen sporting a voluminous dirndl skirt or swishy cocktail dress on the red carpet.
The figure-friendly dirndl skirt sits high on the waist, fitted across the hips and billows out, classically to the mid-calf but more modern styles such as those in the spring/summer 2008 Miu Miu collection skim the thighs, splaying out in theatrical angles boosted by layers of tulle. The dirndl can be a real statement skirt. It oozes volume and demands attention; choose tropical prints or block colour styles with special features like oversized bows, thick waist belts and chunky buttons. The perfect summer cover up, this style is great for hiding tummies and bottoms and creates curves in all the right places. Longer styles (to the mid-calf) are elegant and great for long legs, while shorter styles are equally fun with a super-girly edge.
Dirndl skirts are also incredibly versatile. Wear with frothy chiffon blouses tucked in and tamed at the waist or with a fitting vest and cropped jacket, particularly if you’re of a more petite frame to avoid being drowned in swathes of billowing fabric.
As for footwear, the only shoes to accompany the dirndl are the prettiest of ballerina flats. Strappy heels and t-bar sandals look great with a dirndl for a glamorous evening look, but for a more casual daytime style opt for pumps and keep accessories to a minimum letting the volume and swishy swish movement of your new favourite skirt do all the talking."
