When the weather outside is frightful, sometimes you just need to get outside and enjoy it...
In the past, I have found that on those especially dreary, or freezing fall/winter/spring days, sometimes the best way to beat the blues is to get out into that weather and enjoy it. Walking in the rain is almost always therapeutic, and a good way to cheer up when the grey skies have got you down.
These photos from Dior's Pre-Fall 2012 collection just gave me that delicious wintry-walking feeling, and I thought they were too pretty to keep from sharing. I was also delighted to see such classic and conservative looks featured. High fashion is not necessarily ridiculous and/or unattainable.
I love the hat in this first look, and the knit top with the built-in capelet is stylish and looks super cozy. The burgundy coat in the second image is so yummy, and I love how the pleats create a almost "petal" shaped skirt.
Continuing the color theme, the dress above is a tad more fuschia, and just so pretty. The long skirt and coverage up top give it an old-fashioned, ladylike flair. I could see this on the red carpet.
The second dress has a 1960s inspired silhouette, and is just lovely. The pale pink shade is very chic.
This last dress is one of my favorites. I think that white/cream/ivory can be worn all year round, and here it's updated and taken to a whole new level. The simple dress design is enhanced with a what seems to be a form of ribbon embroidery, and the wide, belt/waistband, keeps up the contrast and finishes it off. So classy...

These Dior pieces are only one of a few "Pre Fall 2012" collections that I've fallen in love with. I'm hoping to showcase the others over the next week or two. It's a bit strange to do "fashiony" writing after almost year of mostly staying away from it, but I'm enjoying seeing what's going on in the industry. What do you think? :)
