Rochii de primavara si vara 2014 – Spring and summer dresses – Part 1

March 18, 2014 by raluca

… si vor fi ceva parti, din pacate, pentru ca se pare lui Google nu-i plac postarile mele lungi si nu imi afiseaza pozele la cautare, asa ca va trebui sa ma mentin la nivelul de 10-11 bucati rochii de primavara/ vara per articol. (Deci vreo 10 parti :)). (Partea a doua; partea a treia; partea a patra; partea a cincea >> CLICK pe textul colorat).

Cel mai bine, insa, nu mai pierd vremea si o pornesc catinel la shopping prin magazinele online, ca ma asteapta saracele rochite pe care le-am exclus din aceasta postare (si a fost o alegere sfasietoare, de tip “Puiul”!) din cauza raului astuia de Google.

EN: More styles in part 2 of this post, in part 3, in part 4 and part 5.

Retro – 50s style elegant/ occasion off the shoulder fit and flare midi dress in gradient floral print (red/ coral/ green) from “Untold” – £115 at House of Fraser, here;
Rochie retro – anii ’50 cu umerii goi, midi, clos, cu imprimeu floral in degrade – £115 (aprox. 630 ron) aici.

EN: What a stunning dress! I never wear midi dresses – not because I don’t like them, but because I feel they don’t flatter my figure – but I’d definitely be willing to make an exception with this one: I think it’s one of the most beautiful dresses I have ever seen – the gradient floral print and the elegant off the shoulder neckline are absolutely gorgeous details!

(You can find lots of Bardot/ off the shoulder dresses in this post).

Wow, ce rochie superba! Eu nu port rochii midi – nu pentru ca nu imi plac, ci pentru ca nu ma avantajeaza (asa ca va fi un moment nasol cand o sa devina penibil sa-mi mai port mini-urile…) -, dar clar as face o exceptie in cazul asteia! Cred ca e una din cele mai frumoase rochii pe care le-am vazut vreodata: imprimeul in degrade si decolteul/ umerii goi mi se par niste detalii absolut minunate!

(Gasiti multe modele de rochii cu umerii goi/ lasati in postarea asta).

Rochie scurta clos/ evazata, cu pliuri, crem cu dungi corai, cu maneca scurta si cordon cu funda in talie – 169 ron la Ama Fashion, aici.

Rochii de primavara/ vara cu imprimeu floral margarete negru/ galben/ alb: 1. clos, scurta, cu guleras – 157 ron la Maxine, aici; 2. midi, mulata (din poliester elastic si putin lucios – cred! -, stil costum de scafandru) – £28 (aprox. 154 ron) la Dorothy Perkins, aici.

CENTER: Black daisy print midi pencil dress in neoprene/ scuba fabric – £28 at Dorothy Perkins, here.

Rochii de primavara/ toamna scurte, evazate, stil retro – anii ’60, cu maneca trei sferturi – 217 ron la Maxine: bej/ crem, galbena si bleumarin. (CLICK pe numele culorii ca sa vedeti modelul in magazinul online).

Closet blue and white floral/ damask/ china print fit and flare dress with cut out back – £48/ £50 here/ here or here;
Rochie scurta cu spatele decupat, clos/ evazata, marca Closet – 150 lei aici (sau pe link-urile de mai sus).

Informatiile privind lungimea sunt un pic contradictorii: Dorothy Perkins zic ca are 86 cm – ceea ce ar insemna mie, la 1,70 m, mi-ar veni cu destul de mult deasupra genunchiului -, in schimb pe site-ul Closet scrie ca are 91 cm, ceea ce inseamna pana la genunchi in cazul meu.

EN: A little heads up concerning its length: Dorothy Perkins describe it as being 86 cm long – which would make it significantly shorter than Closet’s usual “just-above-the-knee” length -, but on the Closet website it’s listed as being 91 cm/ 36″.

Update/ Review

Mi-am cumparat-o si sunt total indragostita de ea, a fost “hitul verii” pentru mine (motiv pentru care, sanatoasa la cap cum sunt, mi-am luat-o si in alte doua variante de imprimeu). E supercomoda (bumbacul elastic rules!), decupajul se asaza bine (mi-era frica ca o sa “atarne” din cauza fermoarului metalic mai greu) si permite fara probleme un sutien fara bretele. In privinta lungimii, s-a dovedit a fi la fel ca orice alta rochie Closet: imi venea exact desupra genunchiului inainte sa o scurtez. (Am 1,70 m si rochia este marimea UK 12/ RO 40):

EN: I’ve bought it and I’m completely in love with it (which is why I got it in two more prints: I’m totally sane like that). It’s super comfortable (stretch cotton is my favourite fabric), the cutout doesn’t “hang” (which I was afraid would be the case because of the rather heavy metallic zip) and it easily allows for a strapless bra. Concerning length, the dress turned out to be the usual one for Closet: I’m 1,70 m, got it in size UK 12, and it fell just above the knee before I had it shortened:

(Eram in minunata Kefalonia aici, in Agia Efimia – Waterside Appartments/ I was in wonderful Kefalonia here, in Agia Efimia – Waterside Appartments).

Rochii clos scurte, cu maneca lunga si decolteu barcuta, stil office – 189 ron aici.

Rochii stil pulover cu guler sal – gri, bej/ crem si neagra – 217 ron aici, aici si aici.

Poate va intrebati ce cauta “lanoasa” asta in postarea cu rochii de primavara/ vara: ei bine, mi se pare genul de rochie care merge foarte bine cu cizme de vara (ca si modelul de la nr. 4), asa ca as zice ca poate fi purtata cam in orice sezon (ma rog, sper ca vara, totusi, nu va fi cazul!).

Rochii de vara clos, cu dungi (stil “navy”) – rochie alba cu dungi bleumarin subtiri – 190 ron aici si alba cu dungi bleu/ turcoaz groase – 197 ron aici.

Nautical summer dresses: black and white stripe fit and flare midi dress – £25 here – and navy and white striped denim flared dress with lace-up back – £28 here;

Rochii de vara cu dungi marinaresti: rochie midi alba cu dungi negre – £25 (aprox. 138 ron) aici – si rochie alba cu dungi verticale si orizontale bleumarin si cu detaliu stil corset la spate – £28 (aprox. 154 ron) aici.

Am mai zis, se poarta in mod special pastelurile sezonul asta, iar rozul pal e de-a dreptul vedeta!

EN: Right now I have a little bit of an obsession with tropical print dresses and I’m starting to develop one with the sub-category of palm print dresses, as well :).

(P.S. The dresses are stretch cotton, but for some reason the fabric info is only listed for some of the prints).

Anul asta am o obsesie cu rochiile cu imprimeu tropical si simt ca incep sa dezvolt si una cu subcategoria imprimeu palmier :).

Hell Bunny “Mariam” retro/ 50s polka dot fit and flare/ swing midi dress with halter neck design and elastic back panel, in stretch cotton – £44,99 at Amazon UK here(or here (jade green); here (lavender/ purple); here (aqua blue/ turquoise)).

EN: This gorgeous dress is also available in more classic shades of red, blue and black. (Just search for “Mariam” in “Clothing” to see all the colours and sellers).

I discovered the Hell Bunny brand last year and it was love at first sight! At second sight, after I bought two of their dresses, my love became even stronger: they’re not only beautiful, but really good quality and extremely comfortable as well. (You can see me wearing them in these posts – tropical dress & sailor dress -, where I also wrote a small review).

Rochia asta superba exista si pe culori mai clasice: rosu, albastru si negru. (Cautati dupa cuvantul “Mariam” in sectiunea “Clothing” ca sa vedeti toate culorile si toate magazinele care o vand).

Eu sunt fan al acestui brand de anul trecut, cand mi-am cumparat doua rochii care sunt nu numai superdragute (dupa parerea mea, desigur), ci si de buna calitate si foarte comode. (Ma puteti vedea purtandu-le in aceste doua postari, unde le-am si facut cate un mic review: rochie cu imprimeu tropical; rochie stil marinar).

Eu o am pe cea cu mov, din mijloc (marimea UK 12/ 40 la noi, in caz ca va intrebati) (dar din pacate cand mi-am cumparat-o eu costa £25, la naiba! – ceea ce oricum e o reducere semnificativa fata de pretul initial… zise ea incercand sa-si nege esecul…) si am purtat-o intr-una din zile Roma, unde am fost cateva zile la inceputul lui septembrie: e prima rochie Closet din multele pe care le am pe care am desemnat-o “rochie de zi” si nu m-a dezamagit – am mers toata ziua cu ea, am mancat, am vizitat etc. si a fost super comoda si nici nu s-a sifonat, asa ca sa-l felicitam pe micul meu soldatel curajos si inflorat :):

(P.S. O astept la cotitura sa se ieftineasca si pe rochia bleu: presimt ca si ea ar fi numai buna de vizitat si mancat la Roma :)).

EN: I have the geo floral one in the middle (in size UK 12) and I wore it sightseeing in Rome, where my husband and I went for my birthday, at the beginning of September. It’s the first Closet dress among the many I own that I’ve designated as a “day dress” and it hasn’t let me down: I wore it all day long, did a lot of walking and eating in it and it was super comfortable and it didn’t crease either (a busy print is great for hiding creases anyway), so hurray for a true wardrobe hero:

(P.S. I have a feeling the blue floral and bird print dress would be great for walking about in Rome as well, so I’m keeping an eye on it and hoping it goes on sale before it sells out in my size).

EN: P.P.S. Do not gasp in awe at the shortness of the dress, fair readers: I had it shortened, it was longer in its “natural state”: I’m 1,70m and it fell just above the knee, just like all the other Closet dresses I own.

P.P.S. Nu va ingroziti de scurtimea rochiei, dragi cetitori: avea o lungime normala inainte sa o dau eu la scurtat: am 1,70m si imi venea putin desupra genunchiului in starea ei naturala, la fel ca toate celelalte rochii Closet pe care le detin.
