Ideas to mix and match outfits

“Keep it Chic” comfortable look

Posted on by

I saw this look a few days ago :  Keep it chic’s comfortable run-around

and it reminded me how fond I am of the classic cashmere sweater + shirt + jeans + loafers look. It’s a look which never goes out of fashion and it’s ever so chic!

So I decided, even though I loved it, to adapt it even more to my liking. I kept the gorgeous sweater in a different colour and the jeans (they are over my budget but I must admit I was too lazy to find a pair of similar ones). The shoes are gorgeous but, again, out of my reach price wise, so I did find some other pairs. I decided to lose the bag and the sunglasses. The first because I am not finding anything I like and is affordable at the moment, the second because I think it’s daft to wear sunglasses as there is NO sun to be seen around here at the moment… (well, I was thinking about me for this look…)

Cashmere sweater + white shirt + jeans + loafers

Here are some more lovely colours for the jumper:

and some shoes too, which include a pair of amazing clear ones! (even though I adore the classic cognac loafer)

I am not going to show you any more jeans or white shirts as I suspect you own rather a few already you could use, as I do!!

See-through mohair tops

I had already done a post last year about the see-through mohair knits trend ( Here ), perhaps I was a bit early on it, perhaps it is still going strong or it is at its tail end ? I don’t much care because I am still in love with it!

I very much like this kind of knit because it looks cosy and chic at the same time. You can wear this type of top with anything,

elegant trousers/skirt

Jeans ( I know…there’s very little one can’t wear with jeans…)

with a contrast top underneath

or same colour to be more subtle

With nothing…

You can even wear it on top of a dress.

I must confess… I haven’t actually found “my sheer mohair sweater” yet!!!! I have been looking, I suppose not actively, since last year…. But that’s me, it has to be perfect ( as in line with my personal taste and price) or it won’t do. Hopefully I will find it before the trend is over and there’s nothing left in the shops….

A bunch of chic looks

Every day I save pictures on my computer I like. I fall in love with a trend, a look, a colour combination, a detail, etc. I must keep them, even just to look at them now and again, like a painting, something I find beautiful. I wish I had the time to write a post about all that I accumulate but I don’t. Since I am a bit of an organised freak, I must tidy up now and again. This is why, today, you get a bunch of pictures with no further explanation than: I saved them because there was something I loved in them. Today’s are a mixture of street style and models:
