Hello my dear readership,

another favorite skirt of the season of ours is the pleated skirt in a short version. See how to style it here with another major jewelry trend with a message.

As children it seems very easy to find friends: We enter the playground and always find someone to play with. The older we grow the harder it gets to find friends and to keep them. You will be surprised how easily people feel hurt because of something you do or say let go about how quickly people find the first door out of the relationship. The more I would like to use the occasion and tell you about one of my best friends, the friend worth it.

Since the end of this February/the beginning of March I turned sick quite often. We know the reason for that and if not you can generally read it up here. Among others in spring/pre-summer I felt bad like I never did before and the worst part of that was that I could not explain myself why and how. Even more I looked for the reason in bad sleep and the heavily stormy weather. Talking about this I would not like to leave the detail out that this took place in office and no one cared when I went out of the office in a state not normal for me to get some fresh air. Anyway. Sadly my bad state did not stop, not even one day later which was a huge pity because that one friend was going to be here for half of a day and I did not want to miss the chance to see her, and her family, of course. We had been looking forward to meet again since last May. Yes, you guessed it correctly, it is that friend who lives in East-Germany who accompanied us to Karlovy Vary, which I wrote about here, even though she was not feeling at her best. This is something I would definitely never forget her to do for me and us and apparently I returned the favor at the first given occasion. I informed her that I am sadly not at my best state and she noticed it on her own anyway being the deep empathetic mind that I respect and cherish so much. Still I put effort in meeting her and she kept repeating how she feels bad for burdening me the way she felt to and this is what I told her: She does not burden me at all. If I have the chance to see and meet her I would definitely do because these possibilities are as rare as they are precious. On top I will never never forget how she made same effort for me or us just one year ago. Therefore she is totally the friend worth it. Note that D. I love you!

Trend: Pleated Skirt

No, pleated skirts are not only for school-girls who try to imitate the Japanese manga-style. Pleated skirts belong to our favorite skirts in spring/summer 2024. Unlike the high-necked school-girl-way which makes them seem rather monotone the spice in wearing this skirt lies in replacing the pencil skirt for a feminine suit. And the cheekier the skirt the more daring the shoes chosen to be worn with it: The all-time favorite overknee boots. I made a break in my style by picking stout shoes to this rather elegant suit adding a rebellious and self-determined character into it. Another clue in this look? The red tights flashing between the black overknees and very dynamic skirt.

“”Love more hate less” is probably one of the most important messages we can currently spread and you do this best with the corresponding accessories.”

Trend: Heart-Jewelry

Hearts, more hearts and only hearts, please! Whether it is to tell someone who is special to you how you feel about them or just walk through life positively and spread the corresponding message that seems contagious to everyone you pass by. Heart-jewelry is not anymore cute stuff that only Lolita-girls are wearing or proud women who received this kitschy love-confession by their significant other it is an essential this year that all fashion magazines from the German Cosmopolitan up to the British legendary Vogue are writing about. “Love more hate less” is probably one of the most important messages we can currently spread and you do this best with the corresponding accessories.
