Intro:
I’ve lived in Paris for over six years now, and I’ve been a personal shopper for three and a half of them. It’s not a profession that I ever envisioned myself in, but wow it has enriched my life in ways I can’t begin to describe. Some of my work days can be full of adventure (and sometimes a little too much chaos). Part of my job is trying on the clothes, to show our clients just how each garment looks on the body. The movement, the fabric, the pairing with accessories. The clothes come to life once you remove them from the hanger. My goal is to breathe spirit into them.
For work yesterday, I was asked to get content of Dior’s newly launched resort-adjacent collection formally known as Dioriviera. Each year our clients are absolutely obsessed. Full of beautiful silks, florals and soft cotton sets, this collection is the ideal summer wardrobe. They typically go with very blue and pink color palettes. I truly enjoyed the silhouette of this striped blue cotton set. The full skirt and the oversized shirt. This relaxed fit is comfortable chic. The shirt falls so precisely over the skirt. I find it visually satisfying like fitting in that last puzzle piece. The pink set is one of the girlier options. The skirt hugged my waist to give me a more figure fitting appearance. The little cashmere top is an adorable pairing and so soft.
A moment for the shoes:
This silk lounge set was one of the softest things I have put onto my body. I would wear this everywhere. Well, I’m not sure if I’m a silk lounge girly. But I appreciate the muted florals in this one. The muted color palette is more my speed than the pinks and the bright blues. Resembling paint brush strokes — beautiful.
This belted dress on the left, featuring a similar pattern to the above maxi shirt/skirt set, was probably the favorite piece that I tried on. The silhouette is beautiful. It’s not quite form fitting but it’s certainly not oversized either. I can always feel more relaxed in something that’s not glued to my body, so I found it quite comfortable. But it’s still fitted enough that it gave me a nice shape. Plus the pattern is very pretty. Now back to another silk lounge set. In a beautiful midnight blue, I felt more at home with this set. I’m not a huge pattern person. This is simple and easy, which makes me feel relaxed inside and out. The classic Jonathon Anderson Dior logo in the corner — I could take that or leave it. I’m not a big fan of the overt logo.
The boutiques haven’t yet received all of the Dioriviera collection, so there will be more to look forward to. I’ve seen this collection come to stores each year, and now seeing it with the Jonathon Anderson spin is a fun surprise.
