The striped shirt

Posted on July 1, 2015 by stylepointofview

As every year, around about this time, I am fed up with almost everything trendy and I start looking back at classics.

The striped shirt is certainly one of them.

(look at the sandals and then read previous post)

I haven’t owned one for a while but I am starting to fancy it again. Here’s some I have prepared earlier…

By the way, I do think the shirt should be “boyfriend” sizing… although as in all things there are exceptions (see bottom).

: & Other Stories OVERSIZED SHIRT blue striped

: & Other Stories STRIPED COTTON SHIRT blue

: J.Crew BOY SHIRT IN TIDEWATER STRIPE

: FWSS STUPID SHIRT BLUE STRIPES SPRING 15

: J.Crew LONG COTTON-LINEN BOY SHIRT IN STRIPE

Blue is always the best but I quite like these colours too

: J.Crew VERTICAL-STRIPED SHIRT red

: FWSS FUNKY COLD MEDINA SHIRT %0AGREEN STRIPES

and this is the intruder…such a nice one though!

J.Crew PERFECT SHIRT IN DASH-DOT IKAT

I do love it (it’s almost a stripe, isn’t it?!?)

Striped shirts look nice with ANYTHING. Trousers, jeans, skirts, long, short, tight and wide. Comes winter they will still be nice, perhaps with an ever so classic cashmere sweater on top…

A tiny, thin strip

I don’t know who said “less is more”, but I do think it should be my motto!

A lot of things catch my attention but, the ones that really send me in ecstasy are always very simple, like this sandals

Apiece apart

A strip, that’s all there is. A tiny bit of leather. So incredibly chic.

And you can do heels and be chic anyway, especially in neutral colours:

: Forever 21 Strappy Cutout Sandals taupe

: Forever 21 Strappy Cutout Sandals blush

Black or blue

: Forever 21 Strappy Cutout Sandals black

: Forever 21 Strappy Cutout Sandals dusty blue

If you feel a bit more “seventies” or like a mid-heel:

The white summer dress

Posted on June 29, 2015 by stylepointofview

While we all have at least one black dress for the summer, some of us only, have a white dress as well. I must admit not having one myself… in fact, I haven’t felt the need for many years . Until now of course! Otherwise I wouldn’t be writing about it…

So, here are white dresses, divided into categories (I am an organised person… bordering worrying…)

First of all, the ones I LOVE:

: Babaton Geordie Dress

: Sisley Summer dress – blanc

Finders Keepers SAIL AWAY – Cocktail dress : Party dress – white

Now the others…

Simple:

: Wilfred Free Strokous Dress white

: Weekday Cara dress white

: NAF NAF LOLY – Summer dress – offwhite

: M Missoni TUTA – Dress – bianco ottico

: Madewell cotton lakeshore midi dress white

: Mads Nørgaard SAXALLA – Summer dress – white

: J.Crew PETITE LINEN HALTER MAXI DRESS white

: J.Crew LADDER-STITCH DRESS IN BI-STRETCH COTTON white

: Banana Republic Linen Trapeze Dress white

: A.P.C. Sally dress white

I would wear the simple white dress with either, flats: lace-up sandals, ” man’s like” sandals or unusual ones. I would avoid heels with the long dress.Ffor the others: a bright pair, a simple one or the exact opposite, a very “loud” one! Anyway, black is boring…

: H&M lace-up sandals burgundy

: SERGIO ROSSI METALLIC LEATHER STRAPPY SANDALS £90.00

: L’ AUTRE CHOSE Mid-heel burgundy Sandals

Lace:

: Esprit Collection Summer dress – offwhite

: Free People LUNA – Summer dress – ivory

: French Connection HAVANA LACE STRAPPY DRESS white

: Hobbs Constantine Dress white

: Jigsaw Nottingham Lace Shift Dress white

: Cream ELENOR – Summer dress – pale cream

Gorgeous with the right shoe, potentially a disaster with the wrong one. Lace is already “busy”, feminine, “wedding like”, there is no need to add! Extremely simple, plain, chic, and not bright, will do. I do like black in this case. No jewellery or very delicate pieces, simple hair, preferably up if long. At least this is what I think.
