Ladylike Trend: The Peter Pan Collar

There are a few things to choose if you really want to look girly and ladylike. For example, you can go for the catty eye liner, pearl earrings, pleaded skirt, stilettos or just the new collar trend. Just like I said in this post, vintage pieces are girlier in my opinion. Lots of trends today have to do with man-ish stuff like oxfords or boyfriend pants. One should always add a little woman-ish detail to the outfit so we feel a little more flirty and flattering. Again, that's just my opinion.

Last weekend I wore my new peter pan collar top from Zara. I felt so comfortable and delicate with this chiffon/cat print/sheer/full of details blouse. There are a four options to use the collar style: 1) top; 2) dress; 3) as accessory; 4) DIY. Now I'll show you my new top and other ways to wear this fashion and cute extra piece.

20's: Girlier Times?

If you are a girly girl, you must love the 50's style.

If you are the girliest girl alive, then you must love the 20's!

[ Marion Cotillard in 'Midnight In Paris' ]

The trend is to use combat boots, boyfriend pants, oxfords & moccasins, broken jeans and over-sized shirts/blouses. I think this trend is very chic and sexy, but in these times some people think that a woman looks sexier with less clothing.

If you take a look to 50's - 60's times (my favorites), pick-up girls were in one side and vintage/sophisticated looks were in the other. Both were glamorous, sexy, woman-ish and girly-ish enough. Have you take a a look at 20's styles? Flappers, those were the sexy and sassy women. If you look even closer, they were overdressed women that used to dance with red lips, lots of pearls, sparkly dresses and a cigar on one hand, in must cases.
Gosh! That is girly, isn't it!?
